etse in each Ward with the of the record in each
case and the amount Of the whole
Sup. STURTEvANr considered that this would be
herculean task which could not be performed for more
than year.
Sup BOycE did not the necessity or utility of such
a report
Sup DoHrRTY considered that this return would cost
more than $1,000 and that the register could refuse
furnishing the information required.
Sup. DENMAN did not know whether this information
would be refused or not Out he considered that the
Eoard having TO asses taxes on all sorts Of property t
wasrieht that they should know all.
Sup. sTUhTEvANr did not zee what benefit this could
be. II would expose the private affairs Of individuals

moItgaPed lie might be in business and his credit
would be Injured byf.

BY the present mode of taxing real estate pays all the
Xes while also phys an interest ON his mortgage and
thus zeal pays two rates while the mortgage pays
more.
sup DENMAN-Thc sooner we know how this matter
sihrd- the better The property OF this CRY "a unfairly
taxed and forced 10 pay all while the gentlemen
who live In kew.Jefsey Westcheser County Brooklyn
and WlEamsborgh hold mortgages and pay nothing.
They may be taxed for property in these places, but
within tie CITY and County of New York they not
beftf hoy do not
Sup. wMp did no; consider that the real evil the
c Of the mortgages not being forced 70 pay taxes,
hut in persons having orge and extensive warehouses
ard uscos of business in the city who do not live here
end who were not taxed. The most OF those having
mortgages property lived in the city and their per
sonal property taxed The warehouses should nov
be taxed which would meet all the evil
The RECORDER considered such course as taat would
he unconstitutional az If man lived in NewJersey and
hld war, house 10 Now.iork, he would have to pay
property tax IN both places.
