Laval, Erq., Acting Comptroller General: Sib: Your note of the 18th received j'ester<3ay, proposes some questions in regard to ?whibh I find it difficult to come to any satisfactory conclusion. Much, after all, in ^^he mattert of tax returns, depends on the discretion and conscience of the tax payer. 1. "Salaries" apply, I think, to fixed amounts received annually, or at shorter periods, for services, other than menial or mere ly manual. We speak of the "teapes" of Coachmen and Ditchers, although engaged by the year, and paid quarterly ; and of the 'Salaries" of Public Officer, a Clerk oi Schoolmaster. Overseers generally receive \ragt*; bul, when a man overlooks, perhaps, three or four plantations, and receives several thousand dollars, the compensation would^riec to the dignity of a salary. I would take an Overseer's return cither way as he chose to make it. All compensation for work not coming under the head of salary would be "icagct Salaries are taxable lJotoctfefr small, and for the whole amount. Wages dte toxableonly when they exceed $500 a years, and then, frf opinion, only on the etceto oier that amount. Xioth salary and wagii art cbmpcusation for the tax-payer's ovm ser vices. 2. The salaries of fiscal officers are not exempt from tax, uor the salaries d* any other offlers than thorfe of the Ariiiy and Navy. o. it nge? 01 juiirnoj-mcn mechanics, i think, exempt, under Hie exception you refer to. A Tax Collector's cofiimlasion*, if not Balary, would, in its widest sense, come under the head of "wages," or migt be embraced under the head of "employment." The Legislature ^ meant that all persons, not specially' excepted. should contribute something from their ranings; and public officers arc specially infclodeJ. Though not, in the ordinar y sense, alary, I think that Tax Collectors incomes, would be most appropriately returned uuder that head. 6. Notes and obligations giro for PROPERTY SOLD. WHETHER MERCHANDISE OR OTHERWISE if ON TIME or BEARING INTEREST, Would, I think, be liable to taxation, as moneya at interest. Notes given lor merchandise usually have the interest in* fcorpotdtfctf ih tbt atiiottnt, and this I should' toi iide'r hs cieniplintr them, and not <111 ?v?. ion ; the law ia Intended for curt* in which tlie paper is in some io'rl rfrt iuVcitmt'ni.

"P* wrv?:FTW*7r . tion, the Direction' determined to -apply*.to the Legislature for the loan of tbe credit of e tbe State in the readjustment of its debt- b The application was made, nod we now J have the pleasure to report to you thai the b State has, with great liberality, granted the e request to an arnoifnt sufficient to relieve e the Company of its embarrassment. The a Act of tbe Legislature upon this subjeot is s herewith submitted for your information, b Prom it, it will be 6een that the guarantee p of the Stale is pledged to the amount of c nine hundred thousand dollars, one hundred thousand dollars of which are to be ap- t plied towards funding the floating debt t! now due, and tbe balance, eight hundred n thousand dollars, is to be applied to taking 1 up tho Bonds secured by mortgage, as they a fall due. The Act, as passed, is not in the form in which the bill was at first preset)- o ted. Conditions are annexed which were c not suggested by us, and which are not ap- t! proved ; but it is believed that th-^y can I r complied with, hy subjecting the atocl ^ j1~ ders to inconsiderable privation, and that the credit of the Company will be establish- ? ed upon a firm basis, and its interests ultimately promoted, by aoceptiog the guaran ^ tee of the State even with-the conditions ^ annexed. These Bonds have not yet been ^ issued, nor will they be issued Until after ^ your meeting, and ycur action thereon. Owing to the present State of financial . matters generally, it has boert thotfgbt in- ^ expedient to issue them ; so that, in await? ^ :ng your notion upon the subject, the Company will suffer no prejudice. ^ The guarantee by the State of the itands ^ to be issued, will <*iva the Comnnnv a nrnA. it such as it has not heretofore ^ bad, and will relieve it of a pressing floating debt, and. as soon as business shall revive, it is g believed that stockholders may begin to ^ realize some profit from their investment. ^ The officers, engineers and operatives of" J the Company have been attentive to their ^ duties, and, without special distinction, we commend them generally to your favorable ? consideration, and we take plg&sure in thutf [ publicly Expressing our approbation of 1 them. f All of which is respectfully sabmittod.
