Finance Bill, 1909.
RESOLUTIONS OF THE COUNCIL.
THE Council of this Society are of opinion
that :—
1. The scheme of land taxation contained
in Part I of the Finance Bill, as it stands, will
be attended by great practical difficulties and
disadvantages, and will add largely to the ex
pense and complication attendant upon the
transfer of landed property and the investi
gation of titles.
2. The proposed new Land Taxes will delay
and complicate the sales of estates and the
distribution of purchase-moneys of estates sold
under the Land Purchase (Ireland) Acts, and
to remedy this, provision should be made in
the Bill to exclude all lands sold under these
