said that he would grant the application OF the
New-YOrk New-Haven and Hartford and New

mandamus compelling the Tax Board to strike out

the two roads.
Ihe assessment in question was levied against
the real estate. roadbeds. etc, Of the two
panies. Subsequently the State Board assessed
the property in the OF SO $4,000 under ths
Special Franchise Tax law.
In a decision in the Justice Blschon says:
The respondents may not be compelled to strike
from the assessment rolls the assessment made
by the State Board since the law required them to
insert that assessment 1t appears. however. from
the allegations OF the petition. which must be
taken as true, that the property assessed for the
speSlal Iz Irahehise tax was also assessed by the
respondents IN the course Of additional assess

established. As a matter of law this property was
taxable under the Franchise Tax law and was not
otherwise taxable Therefore IL not the sub

SAVINGS BANKS DECLARE DTIDEHDs.
ALMOST RUN FROM DEPosIToRs FOR MONEY
FOR THE FOURTH AND VACATIONS.

Nearly all the savings banks of New-York de-
clared seni-annual dividends yesterday. The usual
annual rate 3h per cent, although several

busy by depositors who drew on their accounts for
pocket money for the Fourth Of July and in many
cases, perhaps. for the OF taking short
summer vacations. The rush on the banks was due
to the fact that depostors do not like TO disturb
their accounts until the dividends have been de-
clared. that the interest their savings may be
large possible They forced to wait
til July in order get the full benefit OF the half
years business.
