GREATER NEVYORK OFFICES.

REASONS WHY THE CONTROLLER WILL PROB
ABLY BE 4 NETWORK MAN.
An interesting question has sprung up among
business men. as well as politicians. az TO how
the larger offices are be apportioned among the
various boroughs of the Greater NewYork Some
politicians Of Brooklyn, assuming, perhaps. that
all the nominating conventions would select the
candidates for the Mayoralty from this side OF the
East River have expressed the opinion that the
Controllership would go TO Brooklyn. On the
other hand business men and others are able 10
suggest many weighty reasons why the office Of
Controller IL extremely important to New-York
City and therefore preferable to the Mayoralty,
although good argument against filling both
these posts by NEWCOMERS has yet been ad-
yanCcd.
Controller for instance should possess an i'm
nense fund IF local information While he has 1T
tic political patronage to bestow. he is extremely
important administrative officer of the city govern
ment He IS daily called upon to exercise a quasi
judicial discretion Intimately affecting the rights
OF the individual citizen The question OF residence
becomes OF weight IN IN which intimate
knowledge OF local affairs is needful. This is ap-
parent I'm settling liabilities for old assessments in
passing upon disputed claims OF city contractors In
approving the adequacy and suficiency OF bonds
men, and in determining questions affecting the
right Of charitable institutions TO draw money from
the city treasury The Controller is the chairman
which acts as a kind OF Appellate Court for the
hearing OF appeals by property-owners from assess
uents laid for local benefit
Another suggestion Is that the interests OF New
York property-owner5 far outweigh those OF Brook
ivn In these matters. When IL &C mes 10 questions

Gould estate is assessed at $4,000 and Mss Helen
NJ Could Frank Gould and Howard Gould are
assessed 100000 each personal property, which
makes total OF 1850 900. AS this is about four
times the amount OF last years assessment. nearly
every expected that the Goulds would swear on
the greater portion OF It by claiming Lakewood as
their residence.
DR.. Townsend " Roe chairman OF the Board OF
Assessors. said that he had seen Miss Helen VI.
Gould, and lad been assured by her that she would
not protes'. The assessors inclined 10 think
other wealthy residents. and that they also VIII
agree 70 pay their taxes and retain their homes In
Tarrytowu. Many, however, say that If their as
sessments are not reduced they will leave the VII
lage.
Among the early arrivals was John D. Archbold
whose personal property Is assessed at 100000
He swore off his assessment. claiming New-York
City as his legal residence.

animation OF the Board, refused to complain.

hear his argument and told him that the Board
would review any facts in relation to the com
pany's assessment which he might submit. The
assessment Is s260000 231 miles Of Central road
and one-half mile OF Putnam road.
The accepted all affdavits presented and
viii meet this week TO review them. Although a
large of taxes sworn off yesterday, II
is expected that the rate will be considerably lower
than that OF last year.
A few OF the taxpayers, with the amount OF the
personal assessments to which they object, are:
