In addition to the amount of the taxes of 1888 distributed, there was also distributed the sum of $465,131.41, which sum was held by the treasurer of the Commonwealth at the date of my last report, awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States upon the question of the constitutionality of our law taxing the stock of national banks. The court sustained the law, and the amount held by the treasurer was distributed, thus swell- ing the payments on this account to $1,078,952.81 in 1888, as appears in Statement No. 1., on page 25.

Blouin Jr. Massachusetts State Library- George Fingold Library- State House, Boston 1972 MASSACHUSETTS STATE LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS l802-iaS2 During the nineteenth century, the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts experienced an almost complete transformation. The changes which took place during those years touched all aspects of life and segments of society within the state. The popiolation, continually increasing, became in many ways diversified. The mobility of existing population and immigra- tion produced numerous changes in the political, social and intellectual life of the state. Once dependent on agriculture and shipping, the state by 1880 was one of the most industrial- ized in the nation. The nineteenth century population experienced rapid urbanization as nximerous new cities and towns arose throughout the state and population increased in those already in existence. By the l880*s the state seemed much smaller as canals and especially the railroad provided a transportation network which latticed the entire state. One of the more active participants in this process of change was the IVIass, General Court. Though perhaps as much an observer as participant, the General Court , through consider- ation of various petitions and reports placed before it, left behind a mound of legislative documents regarding various as- pects of political, economic, and social life in 19th century Massachusetts, In all more than 15,000 separate pieces of legislation were considered during the years 1802-1882, Most of these dociiments have remained lost between the covers of the enormous volvimes in which the bills and reports are bound.
