The Board of Appeal was constituted by the appointment of the Hon. Francis Childs, of the Council, to serve with the Treasurer and Auditor. The Board organized May 31, 1878, by the choice of the Hon. Charles Endicott as chairman, when the first session was held. Since that time seventy-eight appeals by corpora­ tions have been heard, with the results indicated in the accompanying table. There have been some appeals by towns, in many of which the action of the Board was requisite to sanction a transfer 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. As heretofore, however, several cases have been brought before the Board, requiring a nice and extremely careful application of the rules of law applicable to questions of domicile.

Manufacturing C o r po r a t io n L a w . During the year the Commissioner has examined 1,199 certificates, of which two hundred and three required a re­ examination after errors had been corrected, sixteen were examined three times, and one was examined four times. One hundred and twenty-three of these were certificates of organization, of which one hundred and twenty had their certificates finally approved. Two could not be approved, the purpose for which they attempted to organize not being one for which a corporation can be organized under the gen­ eral law ; and one abandoned its organization. Of the three disapproved and not finally disposed of in 1877, one has been approved and two have abandoned their attempt to organize. The whole number of certificates presented and examined, including those presented as substitutes for certificates dis­ approved, is as follows : —

Acts 1870, chapter 224, section 1 1 ...... 170 section 32 ..... 66 section 33 ..... 930 section 3 4 ...... 16 section 3 5 ...... 16 Acts 1874, chapter 349, section 2 ...... 1

T o t a l ...... 1,199

The one hundred and twenty certificates approved under 'section 11, chapter 224, Acts of 1870, include fifty-three under additional Acts of 1874 and amendments thereof and in addition thereto, three under Acts of 1872, chapter 217, and one under Acts of 1877, chapter 224. 14 TAX COMMISSIONER’S REPORT. [Jan.

Thirty-five corporations have completed their capital stock by transfer of property under the provisions of section 32 of chapter 224, Acts of 1870, as amended by Acts of 1875, chapter 177, section 2. The number which avail themselves of the provisions of this act is steadily increasing, and, so far as my observation has extended, the act is beneficial m its operations. The number of benefit societies organized under the Acts of 1877, chapter 204, is increasing considerably; and it will soon be desirable for the protection of the public, if, indeed, that point has not been already reached, that some provision for returns showing the nature, character, and extent of business done by these associations should be made public. The business is so similar to life insurance in its general characteristics, that it seems to fall rather within the line of duty of the Insurance Commissioner than of this office. I recommend that their operations be absolutely limited to this Commonwealth, and that the requirement be made that the articles of association shall distinctly specify this limita­ tion of purpose. These institutions were designed to be inexpensive organizations, to secure a moderate provision for the inevitable expenses and charges of sickness and death. Their original purpose can probably be better accomplished by limiting their field of operations. With the addition of close personal acquaintance, and familiarity of officers and members with each other and with the operations of the society, there cannot be much loss, whatever be the gain. If the purpose of their organization is to carry on an organized business extending into other States, there is no reason appar­ ent to me why some supervision should not be established over their modes of procedure, and many reasons why there should be such supervision.

M u n ic ip a l A ssets a n d L ia b il it ie s . Table F contains tabulated results of returns received from all the cities and towns in the State, in substantially the same form as last year. The same form of statement has been continued, as it fur­ nishes opportunity for comparison with the statements of previous years, and because, on the whole, it exhibits fairly the financial condition of the municipalities. 1879.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 35. 15

It is hardly necessary to say that freedom from debt does not necessarily indicate a flourishing condition, unless the asset column shows the possession of such property of a public character as is ordinarily required for municipal purposes. Table G has been prepared to show the percentage of debt to valuation for purposes of local taxation, and a column has been added to give sinking funds where they exist. In calculating these percentages this year, trust funds have been omitted from the amount of debts in those towns where there is an asset of the same character to the amount of such assets. For convenience of comparison I have added to the table a statement (Table H) of the indebtedness of the several municipalities for the years 1872 and 1875. In this table, sinking funds and trust funds, to extent of assets held, have been deducted from the outstanding debt of each municipality for all the years. The year 1872 was the commencement of the present system of reporting assets and liabilities; and in the year 1875 the municipal indebtedness act was passed by the Legislature. Upon comparing the tables for the two years, it appears that two hundred and three towns have diminished their net debt, sixty-seven towns have increased it, and twenty have neither increased nor diminished. Sixty-three towns have no debt this year, against fifty-four which were in like situation last year. The percentage has increased in ninety towns; but, in twenty-seven of these, the increased percentage is due to a diminution of valuation. The town officers have shown great willingness in comply­ ing' with the law, and statements have been received from every town and city in the State. The towns of North Adams and Wilbraham, having been divided during the year, are not included in the comparisons given above. A synopsis of the aggregate valuation by the local assessors, aggregate net debt of municipalities, and percentage of same, is herewith given for years 1871 to 1878 inclusive : — 16 TAX COMMISSIONER'S REPORT.

The gross interest-bearing debt of the municipalities of the State was $89,601,156 on the first day of May, 181 8. If we assume the rate of interest to average six per cent, which is a safe average, the amount raised by taxation for in­ terest alone in 1878 was $5,376,000. The total diminution of net debt has been $3,185,000. The ordinary increase of sinking funds, estimating it at five pei cent, is substantially $864,000 ; leaving $2,321,000 of taxes applied to diminution of debt, or a total, including estimated interest, of $7,69 i,000 raised by local taxation. The aggregate local assessment of taxes for State, town, and county purposes in 1878 was $21,186,7o7, as repotted by the Secretary. Of this, $1,000,000 was State tax, and $1,320,400 county ta x ; leaving $18,866,337 as the total local assessment for municipal purposes. This amount includes the sums raised for interest and payment of debts; so that forty and eight-tenths per cent of the municipal tax of the year was due to the existence of these debts. The total net municipal debt has been reduced during the year by the amount of $3,185,000, or four and forty-two hun­ dredths per cent; while the sinking funds have increased during the same time only $1,473,405, showing a reduction by payment of about-$1,700,000.

S te a m -B o il e r s . Table I contains the result of returns under requirements of Acts of 1873, chap. 321, tabulated as in previous years. Seven towns have failed to make returns. 1879.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 35. 17

E x e m p t e d P e o p e b t y . Table K contains a tabulated statement of the facts con­ tained in the returns received in accordance with the re­ quirements of Acts of 1874, chap. 227. The towns of Bolton, Chatham, Dennis, Lee, Lunenburg, Monroe, Natick, North Reading, Saugus, and Swampscott have failed to comply with the law, although repeated re­ quests have been made. The importance of full and accu­ rate returns of this character is felt very seriously from their want when examination is made into the effect of tax laws.
