Tie Commissioners named IN the act Of April 3 1899,
TO examine aud adjust the claims for the services of the
militia in the war Of 1872, have found their labors
more aIduous than was expected. There baye been
pIesebied 10 them l5l2 claims, nearly all of which
have been passed upon. The amount involved and
for which elaim is to be preseLted TO the General
Government, Is about $sOO, JUV.
Tie Stale Assessors appointed under the act OF April
A. 1859 have Obtained much Information, acting upon
which the Board of Equalization, constituted by tnst
act have ade many changes IN the valuation OF real
in the tevefai counties retaining, as the law
Obliged the do, the same aggregate valuation for
the entire State ltappears that the law Of 1850 re-
curing Assessors 10 attach affidavit TO their vaua-
ton led to immediate increase OF over 500 OJO,-
600 in the valuation Of real estate. Tuere
was subsequent steady Increase OF over $3JO,OOO,'
GU in real estate down TO 1886, since which
tine ere has been decrease OF more than 0OOO-
CO. This il believed be owing TO the practice
adopted by counties of scientifically unJervau-
ing the property, example which the other counties
continually Initiating, 70 as 10 couneract the mus
lice which would otherwise be done tdem. Another
year il il probable that the aggregate valuation OF the
State will be increased. The State Assessors howev-
er, have no control over personal property, very
large portion of which now escapes taxation.
The amount Of salt manufactured on the Onondaga
Salt Springs Reservation, during the year ending Sep
tenber 80, 1859, is within traction of seven million
busAels, the duty upon which is $4,000. The expen
diuIes have been about Si5,UtV, leaving profit OF
about SIS, CC0 Of which $i5,OO have been ex-
pended in improvements designed 10 increase the
faciliies for manufacturing. The present supplies Of
brine, and facilities for RAISING and distributing tho
zane, IRE adequate 10 the production Of ten million
bushels year, an amount which will probably be at
taued within few years. The very genetal u,e Of
coal has put end to the appr.hensions felt that
the high price Of fuel would necessarily diminish the
amount OF salt manu- actured.
