WIDOWS AND ORPHANS.
Mr. NILES submitted the following:
Mr. PRESIDENT: The Judiciary Committee have had under consideration Senate resolution [see page 96 of the BREVIER LEGISLATIVE REPORTS] proposing to exempt $500 worth of property belonging to widows and orphans, from taxation, and are unanimously of opinion that such exemptions would be in conflict with the Constitution. They therefore recommend that the resolution be laid on the table.
The report was concurred in.
