Brief Summary:
A copy of a report discussing salt and tobacco.
Detailed Summary:
The report notes that the Pays de Gex is freed from the taxes on salt and tobacco as it is landlocked between Geneva, Switzerland, and Savoy, and is separated from the other provinces by Mount Jura. The village of Lelex is not included in this exemption because it is located beyond Mount Jura but the inhabitants claim that they should enjoy the same favour as the inhabitants of the Pays de Gex.
