' Tliey recommend that the third cltrn^ be taxed in all casiw attuk flack or is- ^ su*. The ruusovi for this is that it is ai way* powihle (and vasy if the law do mands it) to ascertain tiie whole amount qf the ahare*, stocks or bonds, of a cor poration at its offico ; but impossible to do so by seeking them in the hands of hundreds of owners all over the .State, and evon in other States. As this tax belongs of right to the towniililpsand ecu n tie* where the owners of the bond*, etc. reside, the following plan is suggested for the collecting jmch a tax and distributing It to the different localities whore tho stock* are owrn-d. 1st.

The Comptroller, deducting the yajue of the real estate, -(locally mwMCtl) compute the amount of tax due from ouch corporation, on its share* of stock and Murphis, which amount is tl»m» paid in him by the corporation.
