The Prosecutiug Attoniuy presented tho following comuiunication, in responde to a resolution of this Board : Washtf.naw County, ) Pno8EcuTiNa Attokney's Oi'pice, October 23rd, Í886. ) Hon. Jamos McMahon, Cli.tinn:m Board of Supervis .irt: The following, Resolved, That the Prosecuting Attorney be requested to instruct this Board, in writ ns, to the ' uties of' the several Supervisor in the assessment of th real and personal propetty of covpovatroa formed nuder any special or general law of' th s State for manufacturing purposes, haviug bt en certifled to rae ns pasaed by the Board ol Supervisors, I have Mie honor to subinit tho tbllowing : Section 785, C. L., provides that "all property of piivate corporaiions, (except in cases wlie e Borne otlier provisión is made by la-,) shall be assessed in tóe name of the Corporation in thetownsnip or ward where the tasas hall be situated." And Sec. 795, C. L„ reqiires 'tvery person of full age flrin body politie or Corporation," to set forth in writïng to the Supervisors a correct description of all the propërty personal and real, held or owned by th ni uot re([uired to pay a specific tax, and i.ot cxempt by law from taxation ; and Sec. 708, C. L., expretalj exempts any person from irjfcluding in sucfc statement, any share or portion of the capital stock of any company or corporatioo, vhich Corporation is reijuired to pay a specifie tax by law to the State, or wliose corporate property is subject to taxation under Sec. 785 C. L. The law forraerly provided for the paymeut of certain manufacturina companiea of a specific lax (O. L. Sec. 181'J,) to the State of oue half of one per cent in lien of all other State taxes, &c, bnt Act No. 21, in the session laws of 1865, acuends Section 1819, C. L., repealing the specitic tax of certain manufacturino compames, bui providing that thoy shall be liable to be assessed for " all real and personal estáte held by them. and that tliey shall pay tbereon a tax for Township, City. County, and -'tate purposes," the same as other personal and " real e.-tate, and that the act might not be niisconstrued, it expressly provides that nothiiif; therein couluined sball anthorize the taxins the ca]ital stock of such eorporation as siich capital stock, lt is manifest that at the passage of this amendatory act, the Legislature not only did not intend to make shares or capital stock taxable, bul understood that they ere not alreaily taxable. It is clear then. by the provisions of amendatory section (Act 21 Laws 1805.) and Section 785, C. L. that the property of piivate corporatious-(that is corporatioñs oríanized for manufac.turing and olher purpeseè) whodo not pay a specific tax is liable to taxation in the township or ward where the same is situated, and it is equally clcar that the word property of private corporations means such property, personal and real as is he'd by tli-.ün in their corporate capacity. and not the stock or share thereof held or owned by individual. From the provisión of law above citert, and from a careful examiiiation of tonner logislatinn, and the law uow in force; I am nf opinión that shares of stock of any Corporation for ruanufacturin purposes or otherwise, (in the hands of iiniividuiils,) which eorporation is required by law to pay a specific tax to the State or wliich ovrna personal or real property subject to taxauon is not taxable, and the Supervisors in such cases should not assess to individual stock holdera the stock or shares held by them. There are, however, certain other organizations and corporations, members and stock holders of whieh live in the county, some of which are stockholders of corporations organized under the laws of other Staten, and derive no local cor. orate capacity from the laws o f the State of Michigan, and which corporations do not come under any of the legal exemptions befare cited, and in such cases I am of opinión that stock thereof in the hands of individuáis is subject to taxation under the laws of this State inaking stock of foreign corporations taxable. But the class of companies or corporations (organized nnder the laws of this State) haviug no corporate property )ere upon which a tax can be levied are nevertheless subject to taxation upon their personal and real property, and I am inclined to the opinión that the fact of such corporations having no property to be found by the Supervisors does not render the shares or stock of such corporations any the more taxable, and in my opinión, such stocks even are not taxable, although I confess this last propositan is not wholly free from doubt. All of' which is respectfully submitted. AMOS C. BLODGET, Prosecuting Attorney. On motion, thc comraunioation was accepted und ordered entered on tbe journal.
