Colonel Marye Hefufes a Statement Made
by General Field.


Colonel Morton Marye. auditor Of pub
lie accounts. has written to General
FItz Lee in reference to certain state
ments reported TO have been made by
General Field and in regard 10 which
General Lee desired some official infor-
nation. In his letter Colonel Marye
says
II Can hardly think General Field
is correctly reported I'm the newspaper
clipping which you inclosed. This re-
ports him as stating that the farmers
OF Virginia are taxed by the State 81
10000 on their lands which are valued
by the State at s3O00OO,0oO, whilst
in truth they are taxed se7OsS7 on their
lads and the buildings thereon, which
srz valued by the State at 1851. 709,255.
"The rate OF taxation Is 40 cents per
800, so that even IL the farm lands were
and buildings thereon had been
valued by the State at $500 oo0oo0. the tax
would have been only $1,2OOOyl and not
g. 100000. II General Field is correctly
reported, he first nearly doubles the value
of the land and then nearly doubles
the rate Of taxation on this doubled val
uation. thus missing widely with both
barrels
"Wnat authority he had for stating
that the railroad companies value their
property in Virginia at S9O0,000COO, do
not know. / am satisfied he had none
worth q moments consideration. The
value of this property. made by the Of
ficers Of these companies to the Board
Of Public Works under oath Is less
than the 1alue placed upon 1t by that
Board, and the value placed upon 1t by
the Board is much greater than that at
which similar property Is assessed Tor
taxation in Maryland, North Carolina and
West Virginia. For instance, the road
from Richmond to Danville and the road
from Alexandria to Danville are assess
ed at 81. 900 per mile, whilst the continual
ton Of these through North Carolina Is
assessed by that State at only $4,000 per
mile. All of these roads are owned ana
operated by the same company. Again.
the road from Quantico to Washington
and from Danville TO Washington are
assessed at $4,000 per mile, whilst the
road from Washington TO Harpers Ferry
with which these roads connect, and over
which all the travel TO and from Balu-
more and Washington, and the west
over the Baltimore and Ohio, Is carried.
is assessed for taxation by Maryland at
only 1850, half the assessment OF VIZ
ginia connecting roads by Virginia
