Taxes In Gotham.

In cd times every ward had its tax
collector, who was required to give
security, SAYS New York letter to the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. | well
remember the last of this class, old
Oliver Cobb, whose bonds reached the
enormous sum of 100000. He had
the First ward, which included Wall
Street, and hence the security was of
corresponding amount. Of late years,
however, the collection has been made
in central Office which opens on the
1st of October. A crowd appeared on
opening day, since interest is allowed
on all payments made before the close
of the month. Chief in the number
was John Jacob Astor's clerk, who had
check for $406, 1858 Reader, only
think how rich a. man must be to pay
nearly half million for taxes! Viii
liam II. Vanderbilt paid $4,000 He
eisreally richer man than either of
the Astors, but his property is chiefly
! in shares in corporations which pay
their awn taxes. Hence his bill is COM
paratively light. This, also, is the rea-
son why Jay Could pays such small
tax HeF ipVests almost all his inn
mense income in stocks, but has enough
real estate to call for a tax of $15, 600
Three women appear among the most
prominent taxpayers. One is Miss
Kitty Wolfe, the bcnefcent spinster of
Grace Church. who is assessed at $780,
900, and therefore pays q tax of 50, 16O
Mrs. A. e. Stewart pays a, tax. of SILL
s49o on S500s000 of personal estate, in
addition to- thrice that sum in real
estate. Her Fifth Avenue palace alone
is taxed $l1, 400, being valued at $780,
600. Mrs. Edwin d. Morgan (widow
of our late Ex-Governor. is assessedsat
$1,000, coo in personal estate, on which
she pays tax of So, 90O Personal
pnepertE,sis is, not easily reached, and
hence often escapes tax. This is one
reason why some capitalists prefer it.
Fheyeonceal their bonds in some place
of safe deposit, and no one is the wiser.
Ihellate Moses Taylor, for Instance,
was assessed at Sl,300,OO0 personal
estate, but after his death the latter
was discovered to be ten times greater,
and he had thus escaped taxation.
EssEheea1tiz assessment roll of real and
personal property is ST., 276, 200, 900, and
the gain since last year is S43, 700, 000.-
During the past ten years the valuation
of real estate has increased S240, 000,-
600, which is more than the. entire. in
crease during the first t225 years of. the
city's existence. This fact shows that
New York is growing now more rapidly
than ever. The life Insurance capital
alone is $3.50, 100000, and the i'm
mensitpaef the gas business is shown
by the fact that the nine companies are
assessed at S5,000,000 The value of
untaxed church property is $40, 900, 900,
but this does not include Trinity estate,
whose taxes are paid by the tenants.
The number of taxpayers diminishes as
wealth accumula es, and the big fish
eat up the little cues in this-speeialty as
well as in everything else. The Astors
are constantly buying real estate, while
Jay Gould Russell Sage, and the Van
derbilts are accommodating personal
properly. +ess ,s-~,yt,-,~s 81 ss4

New York is becoming noted for its
grand commercial structures, but the
same tendency to high cost is found in
the dwellings Of the aristocracy. Will
lam II. Vanderbilt's palace is valued by
the assessors at $750,000 and Mrs. A.
1. Stewards at half million. The
former pays a tax of 81, 175, while the
tax ON Mrs. Stewards palace is 81, 450.
Some people would think the above
mentioned-sums would be sufficient if
they We're merely rent, but to make
Mrs. Stewards house paying invest
ment it should rent for $50, 900 year.
The valuation of hotels may beinferred
from the fact that the Astor House is
put down at 81, 100000, while the Fifth
Avenue is placed at $4,000 00O-all at
sixty per cent. valuation.

DR.. B. L. Jenkins, who claims
the credit of having predicted the
present outbreak Of cholera eleven
years ago, contends in the Pal
Mall Gazette that the disease
which has periodically visited
England is not Indian, but Ara
bian, in its origin. The Indian
cholera, he says, has uniformly
exhausted itself in Russia and
Germany, whereas the Arabian, in
every instance where Egypt has
been attacked, has been COM
municated to England. DR.. Jenk-
ins takes the gloomiest view of the
present outbreak in Egypt, pre-
dieting that before the year closes,
the disease will be making ravages
in every quarter of the globe.
