TAXES TWICE PAID.

BY an act of the Legislature Of 1891, corporations
ointstoc companies and certain other associations
are compelled 10 pay their taxes Tor state purposes
act these corporations paid their taxes Tor all pur
poses IN the same moDner as other persons through
the Receiver of Taxes, the State Controller charging
the city with its proportionate amount According TO
the assessable value of both the real and personal
property in the county. Tax Commissioner tletner
says that under this system the city has been
payingaxes twice to the State the same property
The State Controller sends word to the city author
ties that certain corporations have PAID their taxes
to him. and the Department OF Taxes and Assess
menLs prepares a statement from such list supplied
10 IL by the City Controller OF the amount
Of the assessable value of the property OF the cor
porations In 1882 it was S29.047.O74. These
corporations are exempt from all State taxes on
payment Of the taxes under the act. Accordingly
the Board of Aldermen has established TWO rates OF
taxation. One for these corporations ana lhe
other for all other property. In 1882 the rates
So % per 300 on real estate and personal
property other than these corporations, and
20l So 1000 per centum these corporations, thus
granting to them the exemption under the law, the
difference between the two rates being merely the
for local taxation. The city, as previous 10 tine
passage of this act sends to the State Controller the
whole amount of assesSable property including tins
same 500 547 074 for the purpose Of taxation, tax
ing no credit for tine amount paid direct There is
apparently no law authorizing credit TO the city
unless q liberal construction OF the act OF
1881 gives to the Board OF Alder
men the power TO deduct the amount from
the statement rendered to the State Controller The
sum apparently lost to the city by TINS duplicate
taxation was in 1882 $69,376 43 and for the present
year it will be $69, 945 80, or nearly $14OOOOfor
the two years. lax Commissioner Feltner says
that If speedy action Is taken before the STATE Con-
trOler fixes the proportion OF he tax duo from the
CITY it is possible tina. the sum wrongiully claimed
for the present year may be saved. In order that
there shall be doubt about the matter the Legis-
lature must DO appealed to to amend tine laws so
that the clerk OF the Board of Aldermen will DO
empowered TO send his usual certi icate in which
the value of the property OF the corporations and
the consequent tax shall DO deducted ana the city
obtain It's proper credit
The attention of the Mayor has been called to the
matter. Counsel has been obtained to represent
the city before the State Board OF Equalization and
endeavor TO have justice done.
