Hartford, Connecticut, 1785. I/C Tax Warrant Issued to Lebanon Selectman for 7 pounds. Note was issued for payment of the Civil List by the pay-table of Connecticut. The Pay-Table (also known as the Committee of Four) managed Connecticut's military finances during the Revolutionary War. Financing the Revolution laid a heavy burden upon each colony, especially those which balked at levying taxes. In order to meet immediate needs, such as wages, the colonies relied upon wealthy revolutionists, foreign loans, and taxes and gifts from abroad. Issuing notes such as these was only a temporary solution. VF to XF condition.
