the tax rolls 55O0OOOO of personal property, II had
been found that from various causes principally due TO
the depreciation Of this class of property within the past
two years the estimate too high and the proportion
Of State tax based this estimate greater than the
city should be called TO bear because,
by Of the failure 10 collect the entire
amount, deficiency created each year. Last year
the rate of taxation 81 80 per 500 valuation, and
ther" was @""@"cncv of ~ 100000 at the end Of the
year There was a saving Of 100000 on the various
appropriations and the net deficiency WAS Therefore only
81 100000.
On account of the reduction In personal taxation, and

Deyo did not think at all probable When questioned IN
regard to the prospects of the General Term confirming
the action OF Judge Donohue he replied that they had
already obtained the opinion of one court on the subject
and It was fair presume that the order would mol DC
