The authorized net increase of corporate capital in the State during the year, including the capital of three rechar- tered corporations, is as follows : 2 it) TAX COMMISSIONER’S REPORT. [Feb.

Net increase, $11,472,200 00

By chapter 327, of the Acts of 1873, 463 corporations were dissolved, having ceased to exercise their franchises. This substantially clears our list of corporations of that character, except in a few instances of recent formation. This Act has relieved the department and the officers and shareholders of a class of useless corporations which have filled our list and files, without being of any benefit to the Commonwealth or the manufacturing interests. Further legislation on this point is not recommended, as those now in a state requiring dissolution can apply to the supreme judicial court at a comparatively small expense; and as but a short time has elapsed since the closing of business, it seems very desirable that an inquiry should be made as to claims by creditors and others which cannot be so con- veniently made elsewhere before dissolution is effected.

The Board of Appeal was constituted by the appointment of the Hon. Alfred Macy, of the council, to serve with the Treasurer and Auditor. The Board organized November 19, 1873, by the choice of the Hon. Charles Endicott as chairman, when the first ses- sion was held. Since that time sixty-one appeals by corporations have been heard, with the results indicated in the accompanying table. There have been some appeals by towns, in nearly all of which the action of the Board was simply to sanction a trans- 1874.1 HOUSE—No. U25. fer of credits from one town to another where all parties were agreed, and the parties for whose stock credit was claimed were shown to be residents of the appellant towns.

Bank Tax Act. The operation of the law of 1873 has been attended with sat- isfactory pecuniary results, indicating a much more complete collection of the tax due from this class of property, than took place under the law of the preceding year. This result was reached with much less trouble to individual tax-payers and the local officers than under any previous law. So far as I can judge from the almost invariable testimony of those whom I have met, there is a general feeling of acquiescence in the present plan, as being the fairest possible in the complica- tion between the requirements of the constitution and the lim- itations of the national act. If our Commonwealth was the only one thus troubled, it might fairly be a matter of inquiry whether our organic law should not be modified. But an examination of the decisions upon the subject will show that many other States have been troubled in a similar manner. A modification by Congress of the national act allowing the application by the States, of their several systems of taxing corporations, with proper safeguard against discriminating taxation, would render it possible to remove the only objection which I have heard brought against the present law. This objection is that, in consequence of varying rates in dif- ferent places where banks are located, the banks are unequally burdened in the imposition of the tax. Upon the whole, this objection is not so serious as appears by selecting extreme cases. The average rate of taxation in the State last year was 814.39 on a thousand of valuation. The average in TAX COMMISSIONER’S REPORT. [Feb. places having banks was $14.29 on a thousand of valuation; a difference of ten cents only on a thousand dollars of valuation. It is desirable to avoid even this difference ; but it cannot be done by any system which will effectually collect the whole tax due, with so little injustice and annoyance, as the law now in force.

Which is to be attributed simply to the fact that where all the shares are assessed in one place, and the tax collected there, there is no opportunity for evasion. Table D, annexed, shows the net corrected amount distributed to each city and town. Table E shows the amount collected in each city and town having a bank, on account of shares held out of such place.

Insurance Premium Tax. By chapter 141 of the Acts of 1873, the Tax Commissioner is charged with the duty of obtaining returns from the agents of insurance companies, and from companies themselves, of premiums received, and of assessing a tax thereon. Under this law, up to and including December thirty-first, there had been assessed,—

Upon agents, $173,419 61

Upon companies, ..... 19,079 59

$192,499 20

At that date there had been collected, — From agents, $123,238 37

From companies, . . . . . 18,983 27

$142,221 64

A large portion of the unpaid amount was assessed quite down to the thirty-first of December. The returns were received in good season, considering the fact that the law was new in its operation. I do not know of any changes which can be recommended. Some matters which have been causes of trouble in some degree, may probably prove to be inci- dental to a change of plan; and at all events it is probable that new and greater evils would be caused by a change. The amount of revenue realized from this source has been unprecedentedly large. This increase, which is undoubtedly due in a considerable degree to the necessity of obtaining re- insurance, was imposed as a consequence of the great fire, will not be felt in the same degree (luring the coming year. In view of the fact that so much of this tax as is collected TAX COMMISSIONER’S REPORT. [Feb of agents, is a small percentage of a largoamount of capital removed from the State in its investments and further use, it must be considered as a favorable indication when revenue from this source diminishes, father than when it increases.

Manufacturing Corporation Laav. During the year the Commissioner has examined ten hundred and ten certificates, of which ninety-three required a reexamination after errors had been corrected, and eight AA'ere examined three and more times. Ninety-seven of these were certificates of organization, of which ninety-tAvo have had their certificates finally approved, leaving liAr e that have not yet presented their papers for reexamination. Of the three disapproved in eighteen hundred and seventy-two, two have been approved and one has abandoned its organization. The whole number of certificates presented and examined, including those presented as substitutes for certificates disapproved, is as follows

• • • Section 11, . • • • 126

Municipal Assets and Liabilities. Table F contains the tabulated results of returns received from all the cities and towns in the State, showing assets and liabilities. The assets include, in many cases, property which could not or would not be sold under any conceivable circum- their stances, yet, as supplying a public need, a statement of full possession and comparative value seems necessary to a understanding of the situation of a municipality, financially considered. It is not always a mere question of debt or free- for the dom from liability, but of what there is to show 1874.] HOUSE—No. 125.

expenditure of the past or to cause an increase in the future, that decides the matter of a good or bad condition, financially considered.

Steam Boilers. Table G contains the results of returns received under requirements of chapter 321 of the Acts of 1873, tabulated as fully as seemed practicable. The most striking feature is the absence of accidents and the remarkable antiquity attained by some of the reported subjects.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

DANIEL A. GLEASON, Deputy Tax Commissioner and Coynmissioner of Corporations.
