Maps and Taxes.

The community are at last awake to the
absurdities of our assessment rolls; but one
Of the most important remedies seems TO
have been overlooked in recent discussions,
if we may judge from a report to the Ameri-
can Geographical Society by Mr.. James T.
Gardner, the Western geographer, on 'The
Uses of Typographical Survey to the State
of New York"
Errors in valuation of real estate have been
treated as if they arose principally from the
total depravity of local assessors. These
much abused officials will be grateful to Mr.
Gardner for proving that, even with the best
of intentions, it is impossible for them to
correctly value the lands in their districts
till they know the precise area belonging to
each proprietor. The results of recent sur
veys of Flushing, Yonkers and Newport
show that assessment roll errors in the
area of property in these towns caused
as great inequalities in valuation as arose
from all other sources The amount of land
in most estates is put down in assessors
books according to the owners guess, and
the officials have now no way of verifying
the correctness Of the statements.
The value per acre or foot of different
classes Of land is easily determined by
Watching sales, so that if the officials had
proper maps, giving the area of each prop
erty with its improvements, they could easily
arrive at close approximation to the value
When taxes were assessed according to the
new map of Newport the valuations of only
four properties in the city remained un-
changed. Many were altered fifty per cent
and some much more.
If an assessment map Of the whole State
is to cause the difference in distribution of
taxes that survey produced in Yonkers,
then the present tax-paying property will
find itself relieved of about three million
dollars annually, which will be levied on
land now escaping
Tables of figures from official sources are
given by Mr.. Gardner to prove the character
and amount Of change effected in assessment
rolls by proper surveys
The system of taxing by maps is no new
thing in the city of New York but the facts
of this report show how badly we are faring
in the apportionment of the State tax,
simply because the cities are better surveyed
than the remainder of the State An instance
is given in Brooklyn, where block belonged
TO three persons, two of whose lots were
laid down on the tax maps at less than their
true size, while the third was correctly
measured This resulted in the latter party
paying his own share and six-tenths Of one
per cent Of the total tax and assessment on
the block in addition. The principle of
this case holds good over the whole State.
There can be no true equalization Of taxa
ton till all real property is accurately in
ventoried by official surveys and maps.

Adelaide Phillips.

This evening musical New York will be
presented with ''Il Barbiere" as the initial
performance Of a new season of Italian opera
at the Academy of Music. While heralding
this event it may not be amiss to recall to
New Workers few points in the career of
Miss Adelaide Phillips, who is at the head
of the new venture. This lady made her
debut in Italian opera with the memorable
Lagrange troupe, and at once became
favorite, not only with the masses, but with
the cultured few. Her devotion to art
has been too we'll known to need comment
here but in her place she has sustained
herself under every circumstance of com
parison with the most gifted singers she sung
with. AS concert singer as well as in
opera she has been successful from one end
ofAmerica to the other, and as an actress she
has always given the roles she sung strong
dramatic background. These are strong
claims upon public support but, although
she has never advancedit herself, there is one
other title to admiration which we break no
confidence in divulging. BY her own
unaided exertions Miss Phillips has pro-
vided for and educated her six or seven
brothers and sisters. Tonight she makes her
first essay in management in this city, for
the purpose of giving her sister, Matilda
Phillips, an opportunity of being heard by
the public. Miss Matilda comes to US from
Italy, where she secured the finishing touches
to her musical education. There, too. she
first appeared on the stage and was pro-
nounced finished artist, winning in one
instance, the enthusiastic encomium that she
possessed ''the finest contralto voice since
Alboni" With other artists whose names
insure well balanced performance, with
prices in accordance with the times, Miss
Phillips modestly presents her claims for a
hearing and share of public patronage, and
we cheerfully add our encouragement.
