Hon. R. C. HARRISON, Speaker of the House of Representatives :

SIR,-Will you please call the attention of the Legislature to the importance of getting out the lists of taxable lands at as early a day as possible.

With our present office force we will not be able to furnish more than one-fourth of the lists by the 1st of February.

The State revenues are largely interested in the matter, and something should be done speedily.

Your ob't serv't and friend.
