REPORT OF THE TAX COMMISSIONERS.


REPORT OF THE TAX COMMISSIONERS.
RAPID TRANSIT AS A SOURCE OF vALUE-vALUA-
IToN OF NRw-YoRK REAL AND PERSONAL PROP
RRTY 81 ,O9s, ,3S7 775--A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.
The Tax Commissioners have prepared their an
nual report. in which they state the valuation OF
the real and personal estate Of New-York for the
purposes of taxation at 81 096, ,367775. They dis
cuss at some length the cause of the changes in
some of the elements which make up the total,
especially the rise in the assessed value of real
estate and the decline in bank capital They also
point out some Of the sources such as rapid transit
and improved tenement facilities, from which
greater prosperity in the future may be expected.
STATEMENTS OF THE REPORT
The report of the commissioners first calls
attention to the slight dminution in the number of
failures in this city The figures for the last three years
were:
1875 1876. ls77.
6s7 ssa54lOls sa240O974
The failures in the United States in the same years
were;
ls7SS 5s7S; aG6s; 55Ss15$ 5S55$
Amount O6O853 $leiiiT7s6 s9OGGo9ao
Statistics the report says perhaps represent but
feeby and mperfecty the sentiment Of depression and
distrust which has pervaded the community sitting
enterprise hndering Improvements, and pressing with
relentless severity upon the numerous class dependent
upon the proceeds or tnelt daily laOOFIOI support
AS indications OF improvement, the report halls the
construction Of the elevated railroads which promise TO
bring into use property neglected account OF the
difficulty Of access and convert what at present
heavy burden to the to a Of income. The
report adds The essential element upon which these
expectations are based s that the ready access to
homes of moderate will turn the tide of emigration
which has been setting from thia city toward other
counties and States, and bring back within the city
limits many thousands who could not afford to
pay for residences in the central portion OF
the Guy, and so have sought iu other counties
dwellings the rentals OF which have been within their
means The full benefits to be derived from the new
system OF transit cannot be realized until use has DEM
onstrated the reliability of the means of travel and
dwellings have been erected at moderate cost upon
lOw-prIced lots OF liberal For It Is idle to expect
that the family domlciled another county, in
residence upon lot Of quarter or half an acre in d
mensions will, the beck Of even elevated road
surrender the advantages such surroundings afford for
family OF children, unless similar advantages shall be
offered here"
The assessed value OF real estate in this city was Tor
1871 1895 O63 1888, and is for 1873 $90OS557OO an
increase of 701 767 The buildings and improve
nents for each year since 1873 are shown in the iooW
