Massachusetts Attorney General Holds Tax Power Limited on Johnstown Relief Bill
In a June 6 1889 advisory the attorney general advises the Massachusetts House that funding the Johns town Pennsylvania disaster relief with 30000 would exceed state taxation powers. The opinion stresses public purpose within state jurisdiction and notes no precedent for aiding residents of another state. House promptly voted to reject the resolution. Looking toward prorogation, Senate discussions focus on rail matters with Fitchburg and Troy and Greenfield railroads and Hoosac Tunnel.
