The taxation bin recently introduced
by the special committee on taxation
was on the calendar as a special for
2.30 o clock yesterday afternoon,
but action was again delayed and the |
measure was made special order for |
today ut 1890 clock on motion of |
Mr.. Morse of Hardwick. Mr.. Proctor |
of Proctor attempted to have the bill |
amended so that money heretofore loan
Cd within the state and now exempt
from taxation if loaned at ; per cent
shall continue to be exempt until due
in accordance with the terms of the
original contract, excepting where the
loan is payable on demand or wherei
the lender has reserved the right TO in
crease the rate of interest. Mr.. Me-
| Clary Of Windsor opposed the amend
ment which was defeated by a vote of
| l35 to %. MI. Stone Of Vergennes
moved an amendment making the bill
| if passed 90 into effect on January |.
| 1916, and stated that his reason for
doing so was that the commissioner
of taxes had informed him that the

would be considerably upset if the bill
went into effect at its passage as the
people would not have time to become
4 familiar with its provisions and that
the blanks already distributed would
not be suitable. The amendment was

ling incorporated villages school lis
tricts, fire districts or all of them on the
lper cent basis this amount bears to

realty and tangible property in the
subdivision mentioned. Mr.. Wilson of
, Chelsea moved that any member desir-
ing TO propose amendments to the bill
might have the proposed amendments
printed on the calendar by presenting
them at the clerk S office prior TO 9.l5
p. m, and the motion was agreed to.
