No. 50, Legislative

I have the honor to transmit the copy of an Act which has passed the
Legislature of this Colony and to which I have given my assent
entitled "An Act to impose a tax on salaries and for other purposes."

I would beg to know whether the salaries of the Governor and the
Colonial Secretary which are paid from Crown funds are subject to the
provisions of this Bill, and whether the Colonial pay of the Officers
of the Royal Marines stationed at the Island of San Juan are liable
to the same.

Authenticated copies of this Act will be forwarded in the usual
course.
