Upon no class in our community has the
depression of values fallen more heavily than
upon owners of real estate in the upper part
of this island. Especially is this true as to
property not built upon. 1t has been over
loaded with taxes and assessments that were
all too heavy when boulevard lots" were
rising thousand dollars a day, that now
amount 10 more than the salablc cash value
of the lots themselves in many instances,
and where there is a mortgage practically work
coniiscatiOn of the property. The mischief and
the misery have not come only upon mere spec
ulators who bought high-priced lots at the top
of the market. There Is many staid citizen
among the sufferers, who bought with the hope
of some time building for himself home aud
many an old family that has discovered the
truth of the prOverb, 1.-THE more property peo-
ple own. the poorer they are" 1t used TO be
said that high taxes on vacant lots would COM
pei owners to build on them, as to get an
income; but no such theory holds good ut
period of falling rents and declining values.
No doubt we are near the end of this period,
bat real estate is among the slowest of things
10 take an upward turn when times improve;
it generally lags behind merchandise by six
months on Il year.
Relief from such conditions can at best only
be partial but where it can be afforded with
Justice, il should not be denied by our Legis-
loture There are several bills at Albany which
have this in view. One of them proposes to
reduce at once the rate of interest on all taxes
moi vet paid, TO seven per cent, provided they
shall be paid within u year. The measure Is
to be amended SO as to apply also to the interest
on assessments. The present rate--in both cases
twelve per cent-was imposed rather Us fine
to compel early payment than from any just
claim of the city to such usury. The assess

ments and taxes are by themselves sufficiently
large: the former frequently unjust and out
r,reous. Another bill will probably pro-
nose that tho payment of assessments may DC
divided into annual installments, and perhaps
Give discount of one-fourth the amount If
paid within hundred days. This VIII reahy
prove an economy to the city in TIE numerous
cases where extravagant assessments exceed OF
nearly approach the property value
Foreclosures have been very frequent ana
have led to much hardship. Heavy allowances
have been granted-in fact usually are-by tho
courts to the attorneys engaged III foreclosure
suits. and to the referees and court oillcers'
A bill now at Albany reduces the attorneys
allowance in such cases to 5000 instead OF
perhaps 81. 900 ; and official fees to $50 each.
No argument seems needed to show the justice
of this measure. Foreclosure suits are in their
nature cruel humanity demands that
where an amputation must be performed
the wound should not bo torn open
with hatchet. Another bill provides for
the frequent instance of the maker
of mortgage being held on his bond after
foreclosure.upon q Judgment for deficiency. A.,
for instance, has paid So, 900 in cash and given
a
upon A. he cannot meet his mortgage, anu
b. forecloses. The property, deducting the
heavy legal fees and expenses of sale, brings
only $4,000. If B. buys it. he gets back his
old property and has made $4,000 out OF it
surely he should be satisfied. Not so says the
law b. can, and of course does, get a Judgment
against A. for 81 900 deficiency on the bond
and A., besides entirely losing his property, is
plunged into debt. Yet if a law were framed
as to contracts hereafter made, declaring the
recovery of such deficiencies Illegal another
class of hardships would arise, for then it
would become difficult, if not impossible, to
borrow on bond and mortgage. The proposed
measure is far more reserved in its scope. 1t
merely provides that the maker OF the bond
shall have year from the date of sale to re-
deem his property-a privilege now granted as
to sales under different class OF judgments.
These measures should receive prompt consld-
Grafton from our legislators. With the coming
of better times there should be every facility
for setting on their feet our busy citizens who
have been swept down in the iinan cial storm.

Events in the Belllnap exposure followed
each other with great rapidity. The House
Committee presented its report contain
ing the specific details of bribery from
Mr.. Caleb p. Marshs evidence and
stating that Mr.. Belknap had acknowl-

was sending ont for information on the sub
iect the culprit himself came before him
and made confession. The President
accepted Mr.. Bclbnap's resignation before
the House had debated the report OF
the Committee recommending impeachment.

The views expressed at the meeting OF the
Chamber of Commerce, concerning the repeal
of the Bankruptcy law, should receive atten-
ton at the hands of a Congress which has
acted somewhat hastily, so far, in the matter.
The present law needs much amendment to
make it of good service, but to abolish it
altogether would probably be a graver error
than to let it alone. The chief objections to
the bankruptcy system of this country are
that it is too cumbrOus and costly; estates
waste away in the hands of the lawyers and
the court when, after long delly, the dlyl-
dend is declared, it is usually far below the
creditors expectations. The English system is
said to be more satisfactory TO both debtor
and creditor possibly our lawgivers might
study it with advantage before making any
radical change as to the present law.
