No penalty whatever Is attached to
the non-payment of this tax: the soil
being held in trust by the State for the
benefit OF the township in which 1t

The ownership of these rights has
been frequently transferred from one

I believe 1t to- be for the best inter-

action by the present Legislature, as
will relieve the State treasurer's books

Revenue and Taxation.

The total amount of receipts in this
and the amount of disbursements for
all purposes were $1,663. 1926. which
shows an excess of expenditures over
receipts for the year, of S6.740.12.
The receipts for the year 1895. as
shown by my last report. were 81 .5S3.
10o.l5 and the disbursements were ST.
10l .655.S0: the expenditures exceeding
the receipts for said year. to the
amount of $167 ,955.15.
Therefore, the business of the treas
ury for the past two years. shows an
excess of payments over receipts. Of
$254 .695.27. So.
The fiscal year closes with cash
balance on hand of secs. .5O0.5S
The rate of taxation for the year 1896
was two and one fourth mills on the
dollar. yielding total revenue from
this source of $731,94l.70. Owing to the
reduction in 1896. from the previous
year. of one fourth of mill in the
rate of taxation. the amount of State
tax assessed was $S1, 130.60 less in 1896
than the amount assessed in 1895. Had
the rate been maintained at two and
three-fOurths mills on the dollar as as
sessed for 1893 and for several years
previous, the amount of the State tax
assessed for the three past years would
have been 1922 ,6O1.94 more than the
amount assessed under the reduced
rates for those years.

Tax on Lands in Unincorporated Places.

Fer several years past. there has
been noticeable an inclination on the
part of owners of small tracts of land
in unincorporated places, mostly set
tiers. to neglect or avoid the payment
Of State and county taxes.
This is rendered somewhat easy in
mary cases by the lack of efficient
laws bearing on the subject and the
difficulty in enforcing the penalties al
ready provided.
The law provides that all wild lands
on which the State and county taxes
remain unpaid. shall be advertised and
offered for sale in September of the
second year after assessment. This
law has been fully complied with, but
very few bidders have been found for
such tracts. because of the inability of
the State treasurer to give such title
as would secure recognition by the
courts. These tracts are frequently
scattered over a whole township. so
that no accurate description of their
location and bounds may be given in
the deed of conveyance.
The Legislature of 1895 passed law
authorizing the county commissioners
to appoint a collector for each of cer-
tain plantations, to collect such State
and county taxes and pay them over
to the county treasurer. to be trans
mtted to the, treasurer of State.
full compliance with this law
would no doubt result in the accom-
pishment of its purpose as success
fully as in the case of cities and
towns. During the first two years of
it's operation, it has worked on the
whole. fairly well. The counties OF
Oxford and Washington have paid in
full the taxes cf 1895 and 1896, and
Franklin county has done nearly as
well. Hancock and PenobscOt have
paid the tax of 1895.
OF the other three counties in which
wild land plantations exist, two have
paid small portion of the tax of 1895.
and one has made no return.
But although an energetic enforce
ment of the law above mentioned
would result in the collection of taxes
assessed since the year 1894, no pro-
vision is made for the collection of ar
rears, which in some cases. extend over
Il period of several years.
In 1887 tax was imposed on the
