Tax Relief Plea from Tenant Over Tax Burden in Peace Talks
The speaker laments high levies and recalls paying 4 percent in land taxes plus an extra rate to cover deficiencies. He would accept lower payments during peacetime and asks for a table to show the previously paid sums, hoping rulers will grant relief as Newfoundland fisheries and sugar islands are restored to the aggressors. He urges gravity toward reasonable taxation amid shifts toward peace.
