ton Showing n. II. Values and Taxes
TRENTON, March ID. The freshest pro-
duction Of Major Anderson's genius and
brain is an alphabetically arranged report
entitled "Final Determination of Railroad
and Canal Property in New Jersey, in the
year 1884. with the taxes thereon. as Certi-
fed and Reported to the Comptroller by
the State Board Of Assessors. This docu-
ment cost the Comptroller days and drys
OF labor, and as it is entirely outside of the
purvlew OF his official duties, it is all the
more thoroughly appreciated Lack of
space prevents the TATTLER from giving its
readers this document in detail, but sum
mary of it may not be uninteresting. 1t
gives the name of everything in the shape
OF railroad or canal in the State-of
which there are alphabetically arrang-
ed, together with the valuation of its main
stem, value Of personal property, valua-
ton of real estate other than the main stem
valuation of franchises and the State and
local tax on each Of those classes of prop
erty. The total footings are as follows:

property ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $40 $50, 605 AZ

Grand total tax. ..,......... $1,273, $40 90
Comptroller Anderson has also prepared
a supplement- to his annual report TO the
Legislature. This supplemental report
was necessary because, as the Comptroller
states therein, in his annual report for the
fiscal Year, ending October 81, 1884, the
usual estimates of the receipts of the State
Fund could not then be presented, be-
cause the date had not arrived upon which
the State Board of Assessors were required
to file with the Comptroller their valuations
of railroad and canal property, and the as
sessment of taxes thereupon. This report
contains, in condensed foem, very much
the same information contained in the
document heFeinbefore referred to. To
show what an accurate computer the Major
is, the following, clipped from his supple
mental report, NAV be of interest:
In my regular annual report it was stated that
the amount to be received from the tax on mis-
cellaneous corporations, during the current fiscal
year, could not be safely estimated at more than
one hundred thousand dollars (Sl00,00O). Up to
the close of the last fiscal year the receipts from
this source had amounted to ninety-eight thousand
three hundred and sixty-eight dollars and forty
cents AS9a, 36S40l including interest; and since
thar date there has been received the sum of ten
thousand one hundred ana seventy-eight dollars
and forty-ive cents $50, 45l making the total
amount received of the taxes levied in the year
1884, on miscellaneous corporations, one hundred
and eight thousand five hundred and forty-six
dollars and eighty-fve cents ($10S, $685. Adding
This sum to the probable collections within the
current fiscal year from the taxes TO be lsvied in
the coming summer, it may be safe to estimate the
receipts from this within the fiscal year at
one hundred and len thousand dollars tS110,0 00)
