STEAMBOAT TAXES.
To-day the Railway Commissioners called
on the Governor and had consultation IN
regard to the payment OF taxes ON steam
boats plying III North Carolina waters. No
tax on these has ever been paid, and II ap-
pears that tho law does not place the power
of assessing this property IN the hands OF
the commission. The commission advises
the Governor to take the necessary steps
10 collect the tax. Ii IS not probable that
there will be any attempt 10 collect back
taxes in case the steamboat companies are
prompt in adjusting those duo for the cur
rent year.

the Glondon and Gulf Railway ana will be
