then no harm could result from the examina-

such work and he was willing to
stav a week. and more too if it was necessary
to examine and rectify this report
Mr.. WALKER said: He had been told that
II would take ten days or more to make an
assessment of the State. That all of that
time was necessary before tax could occur
For this reason and the fact that If the legisla-

opening of the question again.
Mr. TABER said: He was fully aware of
the importance of the report. vet he saw that
this report had been made February 18th.
Since that time he had examined the report
as far as it related to his county. and was en-
tirely salts fed He thought the other Sen
ators might have done the same as regards
their counties, and if they had any objec-
tons to offer should have offered them then.
He was opposed 10 opening the question
again.
