ty, for armorers and armory rent the present year
is 5898 85 That the whole number of men in
Tompkins county belonging to the N. G. of the

ment rolls. together with the amount of such ex-
emption, matte in accordance with article 15, sec.

Your committee, believing that the said milita-
ry o' ganization is formed for the protection of the
whole State. and that the expenses 01' supporting
the same should fall equally upon all sections 01
the same, would recommend the adoption of the
following preunble and resolutions,:
Whereas, The said I:lw exempting the members
of the N. G. of N. Y. - 810 0 frp,m their assessed
valuation of property, is in its operation unequal.
unjust, and discriminating; that while many
towns and counties in the state are eu.irely free
from the burdens caused by the said exemption,
others are compelled to bear the increased taxa-
tion necessarily imposed upon them in conse-
quence of said exemptions, and.
Whereas, be said law in making such exemp-
tions is unjust and unequal, in that it makes a
distinction and discrimination between the man
having property exempted and the mann having
no grope' Ey exempted, by giving to the former a
liberal compensation for his servises and requir-
ing the services of the latter without any pay for
the same, Therefore,
Resolved, That the Member of Assembly of
this county, and the Senator from this district be,
and they are hereby requested to bring the matter
before the next Legislature of this State and to
present such an amendment to such law as shall
make the same fair. just and equal upon all the
counties within this State, and that the members
of the N. G. shall receive equal compensation for
their services.
Resolved, That the clerk of this Board, be and
is, hereby directed to place in the hands of said
member and Senator, these preambles and reso•
lotions.

SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE,
Town ot Southampton.
Suffolk County, N. Y.. Nov. 18. '73.
To the Chairrnan of the Board of Supervis-
ors of the County ,of Tompkins. Stue of
New York :
SIR :—The Board of Supser"isors of Suf-
folk County, at its late Manual meeting.
appointed the undersigned a committee to
obtain information from -the several coon -
ties of this State it' regard tothe cost of
the public printing under our present laws,
with a view to secure from the :.ext Leg-
islature such changes as will tend to a re-
duction of such costs; and also to invite
the co-operation of the several Boards of
Supervisors in effecting the refortn.
It is believed that a considerable volume
of matter is printed that might be entirely
omitted. and that the time for publishing
some other matter might be reduced with-
out detriment to the public interest, and
lastly. that the price per folio is unneces-
sarily high, whereby a heavy burden is
annually imposed upon taxpayers that
might and ought to be considerably les-
sened.
Will you please bring the subject to the
attention ot your Board for such action as
it may deem proper to take. and partic-
ularly that it will cause the blanks in the
Respectfully. yours adhc.
