The amount of the tax levy for 1882 1t will be per-
celved, Will exceed that OF 1851 This increase is
natural consequence of the growth of the City.
The assessed value of the real and personal es-
tatts will necessarily be increased from the same
source. A large amount that has improperly escaped
tsxsiion, will 50 be added to the tax lists by the
Tax Commissioners. In view of these considera-
oIs, is believed the tate OF tax for 1852 will not
materially Increased, as compared with 1851.
The City Of New-York has attained high and
commanding position, not only on this continent but
throughout the commercial and civilized world and
