crease in real Is almost wholly in the counties Of New

naming counties show losses. The loss in personal is
principally in the Coury of New York The supervisors
Of Kings County asked for reduction on the ground
that Kings County has been compelled for many years
bear unjust proportion of the state taxes, due to
the fact that the assessed values Of real estate have
been made at percentage which nearly reaches the
actual value The Board Of Equalization has taken
notice of these facts by making deductions from the
assessed valuation Of real estate enhuaily returned
from Kings County for several years past where the
average rate Of assessment on realty is ABOUT ~ per
cent Of the actual values. 49,
Tbcre was a decrease Of Sc. 1878 3o6sin the amount
Of the assessed value Of personal property returned
for 1890 from Kings County as compared with such
returns for 1880 This enormous decrease is due in
great measure to the fact that ma1y large corpora
tons organized and carried on in Brooklyn, such as
ferry companies and various manufacturing corpora
tons have located their principal business offices IN
Newly City, where they are taxed. 1t thus ap-
pears that real estate in Kings County has to bear
almost the entire burden of the state and loca taxes
