which 10 - much interested - any com.
murity can be to have fair and IN equit-
xhle assessment Of ssxes upon al tie
property Of the State, and vas sert here

that would do what could for fair and
just and eqsitable taxation Of AL the prop
srty in the 0sase. II there il portion OF
the State OF Maine thss is interested in this
bill. Il must certainly be the county OF Pis-
cAtsqais. We have fell there 10, many
years that We were paying more than our
proportion OF the tax. Now = special COM
mittee on TAXATION was appointed. l have
no doubt that they worked dill
gently because It seems thst they
have taken under conai1eration not
only those things which they had .
tight to take under consideration. but also
things which they had no right to take into
consideration, and l refer now to the
attempt to change the system of taxation hS
collectors and treasurers aud the sale OF
property for taxes.

yer that should want at least two weeks
TO sit down with the Revised Statutes And

WHY it is that the committee have seen a.
10 undertake. TO revise q whole chapter
of the Revised Statutes in the shor,
time in which We have sat here. When the
Revised Statutes were revised before il
took two years and don't know but longer

most important changes and additions
