The same Is true of railroads. Take
the Consolidated for instance. The stock
in that corporation cannot be taxed here
because the statute exempts from assess

orally understood by persons who have
called attention to the millions of stock
in outside corporations held by individ-
uals and institutions in this city.
In the case OF local corporations the
conditions are little better. The stock
cannot under the law be taxed to the
corporation as a whole. Each individual
shareholder must be found and the
amount Of his holding ascertained before
the assessment is made. AS there il no
