Total. exclusive OF passenger Tax. $50 9s

Total, exclusive OF passenger Tax $50 800 66
The passenger tax for 1872 was nearly Sl3
OO0. and is fixed at that sum by the new act for
1873. This will increase the taxes paid in this
wear to nearly $50, 900 against S5l 72O 20 paid in
1872.
Twill be we'll for the fruit growers to note
these figures in estimating the chances Of q re-
duciion OF freights. There are gentlemen com
nected with the Association who could
see. and did see last winter, the certain CON
sequences to freighters by rail. Of Legi-la-
tion which imposed upon the p. W. n
b Company such enormous taxation,
Indirectly striking blow at that class Of our
citizans who are customers OF the Railroad as
these taxes are held as part of the expenses,
to be provided for and paid out of the earnings
OF the company. But worst OF all, to the ex-
penses OF this year will be added those incurred
by the company in defending against the suit
brought to enforce the 4th section OF the new
tax law The expenses thus incurred will il is
said exceed the diminutlon in tue taxes referred
to.
In view Of these heavy expenses and the pros
pect OF short peach crop. apprehend the an
ticipations OF the reporter OF the Fruit Growers
Association as TO q considerable reduction OF
freights this simmer will hardly be realized,
however desirable il may be to the grower, al
well as the carriers of their products.
