CREASED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS AND MANY MORE TO
HEAR FROM
Evidence is brought forward almost every day OF
the increased burden which will be placed upon
the city by the trick OF Tammany Hall politicians
in increasing the taxes upon certain corporations
far beyond the amount which the courts vii! allow.
Hundreds OF appeals have been made 10 the courts
TO reduce these assessments, and decisions are
handed down almost daily favorable 10 the COM
planning corporations.
The trick OF a high assessment and low tax rate -
recong upon the city much harder. probably, than
even the enemies OF Tammany Hall ever expected.
Only short time ago. by decision OF Judge RuS-
sell in the Supreme Court. about s25Ooo In taxes
was lost TO New-York City. II was on the assess
ment against the personal property OF the General
Electric Company the Edison Electric Light COM
pany and the Edison General Electric Company
The total amount OF taxes attempted to be col
lected from these three companies was ABOUT wv
Oo and the court decided that nothing whatever
due TO New-York County. as these companies
paid their taxes in Schenectady. Judge Russell
declared in his opinion written IN this case ina,
neither OF these three companies had been haoie
for taxation In this county since 1898, and conss-
auently he set aside the assessments for 1894
Only a few days ago Judge Andrews IN the SUI
ment made upon the personal property o. me
Third Avenue Railroad Company for lss, from
the amount assessed by the Commissioners. On
tho same day ne reduced The assessment on tnc
personal property Of the Union Railway company
Tor the year 1894 from 81 s92 to $4,000: this also
was a reduction of 10 per cent
on last Wednesday Judge Russell vacated the
upon the personal property OF the .sn-
trail Park Safe Deposit Company for the year MS
The company alleged that IL did not have any
property liable to taxation at the time the assess
ment was made. and showed that on the last Gay
assessment IL converted 100000 OF railroad bonds
into United states securities which are not haoie
to taxation.
All these reductions were OF extremely large
amounts, and may be taken as An indication OK
what the result Will be when the whole list Is nm
shed. Tammany not only decreased the tax rae
while II was in Office but II left the financial anairs
OF the city In such condition that undoubtedly
the rate will have TO be Increased TO meet INC
deficiencies caused by not collecting all the taxes
which assessed. Were II not for the fact
that these sweed assessments are generally under
stood. doubtless Tammany would make much cap
,al In the elections this year and next year over
the difference between the tax rate while II was IN
office and that while the reform government
elected last fall is In power.
