over Two BILLIONS.
Assessed Valuation of This City's
Property Holders.
Prospects that the Tax Rate Will
Be Reduced.
Croker, Grant and Other TammaRy
Men Are Exempted.

The Board Of Aldermen put in special
sessions to-day to receive from the Tax
Commissioners the tax books for 1894.
showing the amount OF assessments in
personal and real estate.
There is an increase Of $50, s135oS in
real estate values and a decrease OF
$3.50, 9A in the valuation OF personal
property, said to be due to the recent
hard times. The total assessed valu-
atom In 1898 was 81, 1913, 5ls,52s. This year
the two-billion-mark was reached, the
exact figures being $2,0o3, 332.0S7.
The increase in real estate valuation,
considering the depreciation Of property
during the business depression, Is alb
normal. and there will consequently be
no necessity. as at first thought, for in
creasing the tax rate, which Is now so
on 500. If anything, it will be lower.
A semi-official statement is to the
effect that the rate may be lowered to
Isl or $50.
The reduction will depend on the
amount for deficiencies to be added by
the Aldermen to the budget. The
budget for 1894 is s35.s6i,257 An amount
usually 5000 900, is added. owing to the
difficulty of collecting some of the
taxes. Three per cent. of the budget
can be added, and $4,000 or 100000
may be.

A few minutes before 10 o'clock this
morning Mr.. Z. B. Dunn, he of many
titles. who is paid by the Government
to supply New York with weather, en-
tered his office. About dozen re-
porters were waiting for him.
After removing his coat and hat, Mr..
Dunn bade his visitors a CHEEKY good

MISUNDERSTANDING figures on his desk.
Nobody said a word.
Finally he looked up. and In his most
d!gnified manner said. Gentlemen. It Is

There was not a man who disputed
him. and he continued:

There was another silence, and Mr..

any chance TO add a degree or two to
the heat.
When the last reporter was just dis
