COMMON SCHOOLSTAXING NON-RESIDENTS.
Mr. ATKINSON now introduced his bill (64) to amend sections 3, 20 and 46 of the act of March 11, 1861, providing for a general system of common schools, etc.
He said this bill, he was satisfied, would tax millions of property for school purposes, which none would escape. There was non-resident property lying all over the State. It only changed a few words in the act, gives a remedy for certain cases of loss on the Township Trustee, and repeals the necessity in the 3d section for the County Commissioners to supply certain deficits.
On his motion (the rules being suspended for the purpose,) the bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on Education.
