An act passed at the last session Of
the Legislature extends limited ex-
emption from taxation to the "members
Of any organized fire department of
any township Of this State under the
control Of any town committee, &c
Since the passage Of this act number
Of the fremen of this township have
found out that they belong to depart
ments SO controlled aud should have
the benefit ofsuch exemptions. They
urge that the fire department of North
ampton township is under the control
of the township because the Township
Committee visits the houses Of the re-
spectiye fire departments and report
what they have seen to the town
meeting before the appropriation is
made. This will not do gentlemen.
A cat may look at king but no one
says that by so doing he controls the
king. It is true that the act whereby
the fire companies claim township
assistance as amended provides fer the
control of fire organizations in certain
cases But the act further provides
that already incorporated companies
shall not be affected thereby. All the
companies in Northampton were iucor-
porate dbefore the passage Of this act.
They are not affected thereby. They
are not under the township control.
The act would doubtless have been
unconstitutional if it had made them
SO. Our friends must pay their tax.
