The New York CentraFs Taxes.
IN. Y, Tribune.


Mr.. Vanderbilt's remark to Tribune
great sums which the railroads pay In
taxes, and the right therefore which
they have to protection from the au-
thorities, caused some comment among
persons who claimed to be familiar with
the action of the New York Central la
avoiding the payment Of what is justly
due from it in taxes. They said that the
Vanderbilts value the property of the
New York Central at $3.50, 000O 900, but
that the road has paid taxes during ten
years on valuation Of $40, 000,000 only.
Every real estate owner was compelled
to pay to the city of New York alone
nearly three per cent on the value OF his
property, while it was claimed that the
New York Central Railroad Company
had escaped taxation on $4,000 900,
the burden being shifted on farms and
houses. The question was pertinent
according to the views OF several per-
sons who were discussing this matter,
has received all of the franchises from
the public, should not pay the same
rate as real estate owner. Instead of
the State being indebted to Mr.. Van
derbilt, it was argued that clear in
debtedness was established on the part
of the New York Central to the State OF
many millions of dollars for the ten
years that it is has been taxing the
public to pay dividend on its watered
stock. The State, it was claimed, should
insist upon the payment of these ar
rearges of taxes on the part Of the New
York Central, and the sum thus col
lected would go far toward the extin-
guishment Of the debt of the State.
