No. 106

I have the honor to forward an authenticated and two plain
copies of an Ordinance of the late Session of the Legislature
of this Colony, entitled;

No 23. An Ordinance to repeal the real
estate Tax Acts of Vancouver Island.

2. On the proclamation of the Act of Parliament 29 & 30 of
Victoria, Chapter 67, the Customs Tariff of British Columbia
became extended over Vancouver Island. It became therefore a
matter of simple justice that the direct taxes by which the
late Government of the Colony had been supported should cease.
Hence this measure.

3. The Attorney General's report is enclosed.
