taxes 10 the boards OF assessors In the districts

January, 1901.
The valuations OF the franchises which the State
Board OF Tax Commissioners are required TO deter
mine and the material TO form the basis OF which
is under consideration will not with the exception
OF corporations operating in New-York City, be
certified 10 the local assessors for some months.
II supposed that these valuations had 10 be
certified 10 the local assessors within few weeks
II now develops that the certifcetions may be made
any time before September next when the tax rolls
for the following tax year are required to be COM
pleted In New-York County, however the certih-
cations must be made before May when the New
York tax rolls close These rolls form the basis for
the taxes 10 be collected In 1901 so that apparently
there will be no special franchise taxes collected
during the year 1909.
