IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION PROM JHE STATE COMPTROLLER. Comptrolier Hillhouse, in a communication made \pabjic’ this evening to the Committee of Ways and ‘Means, tays:—‘‘The adoption of the measures now be- fore the Legislature, in addition to those already passed, will carry the State tax to over one per cent. This is certainly an extraordinary rate, greatly exceeding those of previous years, * * * The average rate for the ‘| ten years here given, which include the period of the ‘war, was a fraction over four mills—less than one half the rate that will be required this year to meet appro- priations passed and contemplated. A State tax of one per cent will draw $15,000,000 from the productive in- terests of the State, to which must be added not less than $35,000,000 for local taxes, and at least $50,000,000 more for our proportion of the taxes imposed by tho government of the United States. In 1866 our propor- Von was $67,000,000. Whether any community of less ‘than four millions population can long sustain an annual burthen of over $100,000,000 may well be questionéd.”” THE EXCISE Law.
