- under the new Haw, has exceecled tliat of
1 84 (founder i ihe: old,- by ' ; the "'sum of S5r

of the public Treasurer will showthacthe
total number of acres taxed in 184G was
22,368,555, ndlhaL4tri5?7it rose to
24,359,079, and that the Aggregate valuaf
tion of land "and town property in 1846
was 3555,254,194, and that in 1847 it grew
to G6,4B6;82l! With't&se'lriaterial ad
ditions in quantity and valuation, the a
mount of taxes received from real estate,
is yet lower by two or three thousand dol
Iars, than ought to be obtained at the nres
eni rate. 1 nere has been, also, an increase
in the year of $1561 78 in' the poll tax.
It'appears how to be collected -ori 'i 73ll 6
persons, against 165,310 in the.: previous
year, I am yet satisfied : however,, from
the statistics embodied in my former mes
sage, this number falls short, by, at least
20,000, of the whole taxable population of
the state. It therefore will call for- your
investigation, why a valuation on land of
566,430.821, at.eix cents, on theone hun
dred dollars value, yields only 37,921,21,
and why, out of at least 195,000 taxable
polls in the State, more than 20,000 yet
escape taxation" "altogether. The impor-j
taint addition td the revenue'on real prop1
prty and polls of; near $7,500 by: reason of
the measures adopted at the last session,
those formerly existing. By a still closer'
scrutiny, of the subject, especially id the
department of the Poll tat,l apprehend
that a plan may be . devised to obtain a tl
further increment of five or six thousand -
dollars, from. the same ources. at existing,
