MANDAMUS ON THE CITY.
state of New York Wants S!.5.0OO
for Dnck Taxes and Interest,"

Comptroller Fitch has been served
with a mandamus obtained by Attorney
General Hancock from Justice Mayham.
of the Supreme Court, to compel the
city of New York to pay the State s725,-
900 back taxes and interest.
Comptroller Fitch made this statement
in regard to the matter this morning:
THE State has taxed the city OF New
York S60S 7907 for the care of the in
sane. As the city OF New York takes
care OF its insane Itself we consider, the
State tax for that purpose unjust.
Therefore 1t has not been paid. But If
the courts decide that We must pay we
will settle. The balance of the claim Is
for $4;.321 interest on State taxes for
previous years, and s73.5c6.33 for back
taxes.
81 know nothing about interest for pre-
vious years. That was before my time,
but against the item for hack taxes We
have a counter claim of $4,000 for fees
due the City Chamberlain for collecting
State taxes, and as soon as that claim
Is allow ed we will pay the difference.
This Is the first year the tax for the
care OF the insane has been imposed on
the city OF New York, and we want
the legality Of the levy decided by the
courts"
The papers in the case have been trans
mitted to Corporation Counsel Clark.
The case will probably be argued in
Albany.
