Annual tax for 1863, S217, $1,000. Special in
come. s3Oe,5Oa6O. Total, S7o1 ,559.1i.
The whole amount assessed has been COL
1ected with the exception of about S11 900
5000 Of which is on the Special Income Tax,
assessed principally on nonresident sataried
officers. "
The number of licenses issued in 1865
were 6,753. The annual list for 1865 amounts
to Si25 900. The annual list for 1864 amount
ed To S217, $500, average OF 1900 per
month.
In giving the above amount of collections in
this District for the year 1865, it should be
stated that the income tax paid by the large
number of employees of Government upon
their salaries does not appear in these figures,
as that tax is deducted when the salary is paid.
Adding the tax from this source to the above
figures, together with the amount paid in the
way of Corporation taxes, and we may esti-
mate that this community shouldered last year
a tax of from million and a quarter to a mil
lion and a half of dollars. 1t should be re
membered that last year two income taxes We're
paid, the annual tax and the special tax of I've
per cent.
The complicated work of the collectors and
assessors offices for this district is now so
thoroughly systematized by the indefatiga-
bile officers at the heads of these departments
Nessrs Clephane and Pearson, and their hard
working assistants, that comparatively few
evasiOns of the law can be practiced and the
amount of revenue will cup to the maximum
available.

We yesterday commenced the publication of
the list of taxpayers of the District who pay
al income tax of 500 and upwards, and to day
give the list for the District complete, as sub
Joined.
Under the present law with its two-rate ar
rangement of tax, it is not quite so simple q
matter under the old law, to estimate by
means OF the tax the amount of income upon
which it is based. The following may serve
as rule to those inclined to figure it ont:
Where the tax paid does not exceed 1920 null
tiply the amount by ~, and add 6OO flor amount
exempt) for nett income. Where the tax paid
exceeds 1920 deduct for the amount of tax
500, as representing an income of $4,000 the
balance (after deducting the SeaO) multiplied
by 10. (the tax above S5,OOO,) and added to the
$500, will show the total income. That is to
say, approximately, as besides the $500 fixed
reduction allowed by law, there are incidental
deductions for insurance, taxes, rent actually
paid, certain repairs Of buildings, &C., &c
