Grodno Gubernia Revision Lists #belarus #general #records

I had always known that a particular branch of my family came from Skidel, in Grodno Gubernia, but further research revealed that they had earlier migrated from the nearby town of Ozery. In the 1874 Revision List for Ozery, my ancestor’s entry contains the following comment: “Assign to Skidelsky Jewish society, transferred to State Treasury on June 19, 1878.” Does anyone know just what this would have meant?
Thanks very much, Robert Mandelbaum New York, New York

This looks like a tax payment. I recall reading something about the Jewish societies collecting tax money in their communities. However, I could be wrong.

I suspect this acknowledges the move from one town to another, suggesting that the taxing authority of the first town was no longer in effect.
