MORTGAGE TAXATION.
TIE NEW LAW VIEWED WITH DIsTRUsT IN
BANKING CIRCLES.

Griswold street plainly appears to be
growing more uncertain as to the prop
er defense against the operation of the
mortgage tax law which was passed by
the last legislature for the purpose of
cheapening the rate of interest. While
all of their mortgage forms have the
new clause inserted making it a part of
the contract obliging the mortgagor to
pay the tax levied upon the mortgage,
il is evident from the views expressed
along the street, that no great reliance
is placed upon the virtue of that stipu-
lation, and all appear to have arrived
at the conclusion that it were better all
round to have decision of the SUI
preme court on the validity of the law,
with all of the phases involved before
the court.
Some of the attorneys of the savings
banks are inclined to believe that the
law is unconstitutional in that it pro-
vides for the taxation of old mortgages
as well as the new, while others are
disposed to regard the law az constitu-
tional. But all are disposed to have
the supreme court pass upon it, and all
of the bankers are anxious to have
such decision reached at the earliest
~
says, without having given the subject
especial examination, it is not clear
that it can be got before the court be-
fore next year, when the taxes are
spread upon the rolls. If mortgagor
were to present himself at that time
next spring and ask to have the mort
on the refusal of the assessors, case
could then be made.
In order to secure al early reference
of the matter to the supreme court, the
board of assessors are willing to afford
an opportunity for test by commence
ing the spreading of such mortgage tax
in February. The assessors themselves
have asked for an opinion regarding
city attorney that has not yet been fur
nished, although applied for some
time ago. Meantime some of the saw
ings banks decline to touch mortgage
security, while the rest are taking it
cautiously and in small amounts, and
the lines are thus contracting upon the
borrower, who already feels the pinch.
The banks say that owing to the I'M
certainty the prospect is good for the
