THE CITY RAILROADS TAX.

During the year 1872 several attempts were
made by ex-Alderman Gels to compel the various
railroads In this city to pay license fees and per-
sonal taxes, but ut that time without success. The
puDlc mind however became aroused to the
injustice OF allowing the railroad companies to
escape without paying personal taxes on their
large amount OF property, and in 1874 the CON-
mlssoners OF Taxes ana Assessments III assessing
the taxable personal estate OF the various city
railroads. adopted u rule which was complained Of
by those companies. The commissioners took the
market value OF each cOmpany's stock aud de-
ductlng from that the value OF their real
estate as having been already taxed Otherwise.
fixed the balance as The amount OF their taxable
personal property. The companies claimed that
the Board should also have deducted their debts

SUITS AGAINsT THE crT,

SUITS AGAINST THE CITY,
This Court was occupied yesterday in the trial
OF suits brought against the city, most OF which
were dismissed. None Of them, however, involved
any points OF special interest. Among those dis
missed was one by John DoOly, who sued to re-
cover seven months pay as time. keeper on the
Boulevard Improvement. Inc fact was developed
on the trial that the only demand made ny. the
plaintln upon the Comptroller Tor his pay was the
tlilng OF the payroll on whicn his name was borne
IN the Finance Department. Judge Robinson held
this to be insufficient, the law requiring the de-
mand to be made personally by the claimant or
his lawfully constituted agent. Daniel Leamey
formerly an officer or the Court Of Comma Pleas
sued to recover months pay. Tue complaint In
his case was also dismissed.
