American Act Imposes Household Furniture and Watches Duties
A newly proposed federal act sets a tiered annual duty on household furniture with varying rates by value and imposes a two dollar tax on every gold watch and one dollar on every silver watch kept for use. The measure outlines assessment and list delivery by assistant assessors, penalties for false lists, and procedures for collecting duties across districts under existing tax laws.
