PREFACE.

The Tax Law was prepared by the Commissioners of Statutory Revision and presented to the Legislature of 1896 as chapter XXIV of the General Laws. (See Revisers' note, p. 31.) The Tax Law is a revision of the laws constituting the general system of taxation in this State.

In addition to the changes proposed by the commis sioners important substantial changes were adopted by the legislature.

At the end of each section of the new law is the revisers' original note as contained in their report to the legislature, stating the source of the new section, and the changes made in the law thereby. Following the revisers' note is an editors' note of changes afterward made in the section by the legislature, together with such other explanations of the section as seem to us desirable.

laws which the section supersedes. In many instances, the

decisions under the old law will be found to be of full force and effect under the new. Where changes have been
