THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE SUPERVISORS
ARGUE FOR REDUCTION.
A conference was held in Brooklyn yester-
day between the Special Committee Of the Kings
County Board OF Supervisors and Messrs Briggs, Fow
Ter and Hadley of the State Board Of Assessors. The
Local Board of Assessors claim that Kings County is
sessed too high by the State Board; that Brooklyn and
New-York are a great commercial centre, but that the
greater wealth lies in NewYork and the bulk OF
ment should fall there also. Personal property In the
two cities is actually assessed at 299O per cent while in
other counties OF the State II only ll6iO per
cent Real estate is assessed at fully 20 per cent while
in other counties is less than 20 percent Mr. Trusow
held that while the Legislature directed the STAG Board
to fix the amount of the real and personal estate and
fix the aggregate amount of assessment for each county
the statute gives power 10 equaze the valuation OF
personal property, nor to consider the per
sonaIity in the equalization of the realty. In
1876 the amouat assessed in Eew-YOTk aud Kings
on personal property OH per cent OF the whole

the population was only 80 por cent OF the whole In
1874 II was assessed at 40 per cent Of IT'S full value. The
