From several communications in your
paper and the Advocate. it appears that
there is some question about assessing
National banks or the stock thereof. OF
course 1t is hard proposition to keep
tax-dodgers from accomplishing their
ends, but Messrs. Dawson & Co. have
had passed through our legislature law
which is intended to accomplish this OBJ
ject, which is as follows:
1.-The shares of stock of a National
banking association shall be assessed at
their true and actual value to the several
holders of such stock in the county, dis
trict or town where such bank is located.
and not elsewhere, whether such holders
reside there or not. The cashier of the
bank shall keep a list of the stockholders
and said list shall be open to the inspec-
ton of the assessor, and the taxes SO as
sessed upon the shares of any such bank
shall be paid by the cashier and charged
to the owners thereof"
