A new method of lightening the burden of taxes on real estate has been devised in the United States, through an adaptation of the holiday and vacation dubs’ plan. Thus, if a man has property valued by the assessors for tax purposes at £2OOO and his taxes are £6O a year he may join a club, and by paying 26s a week for 50 weeks he will have the total amount of his taxes available with 12s 6d added for interest, laid up under conditions involving little or no hardship. The tax club would seem to bo worthy of wide adoption.
