upon certain business interests that

committee feels, can with equity and
Justice be asked to do so. 1t is, there
fore, recommended that the bill do
pass
The report was laid on the table to
be considered with the bill.
He also reported on Senate Bill No.

only fair that Trust companies, which
transact very similar business, should
also contribute to the revenue. Your
committee believes this to be just
tax, and therefore recommends that
the bill do pass.
