MANHATTAN FIGHTS ITS TAI.
SECURES A WRIT FOR THE REVIEW OF ITS
FRANCHISE ASSESSMENT

The Manhattan Railway Company yesterday OBJ
tanned from Justice McAdam. IN the Supreme
Court writ of certiorari for the reviewaI OF the
assessment placed its special franchises by the
State Board OF Tax Commissioners.
It is asserted that the franchises OF the petitioner
granted by the Legislature and the municipal au-
thorities Of NewYork City differ from other fran
chises IN that the company IS subject 70 obliga-
ton 70 demands for damages by abutting property
owners, and has been compelled TO pay about IA
100000 in order TO prevent the loss OF its entire
capital and many claims. equal in number 70 those
already paid, still pending and claims for
rental damages are annually accruing such an
extent that it will be compelled to pay no less
than $4,000 annually and the interest on money
already expended for the extinEuishing OF the
rights OF abutting owners is less than $4,000
year.
The amount Of legal and other necessary dts
oursements in order protect the company against
exorbitant and unreasonable demands accruing out
Of the uncertain and unlquidated character OF
damages is and will be for many years not less
than 10000 annually. reducing the value Of its
franchises at least $4,000 a year
The franchise differs from others. It IS contended
as the company Is under obligation 10 maintain a
costly structure requiring constant inspection and
repairs. all Of which tends diminish in value IN
the process OF time. In the hve years ending on
June 30, 1893 no less than 10000 a year was
pended in repairs and renewals Of the structure
and more than 70 per cent Of this expenditure was
for work which could not and would not have been
required in the case OF surface railroad. The
actual cash cost Of the structure. excluding sta
uons and structures in the public streets, IS rs
37S6Sl 81. OF this sum 50 per cent would not have
been required for a surface railroad. and the tn
terest is at least 81 10000 year The value Of the
franchise is thus reduced least 81 $50 COO year
by reason Of this special and peculiar feature il is
asserted.
The Franchise Tax act the petitioner contends.
is unconstitutional as it impairs the obligations
Of several contracts made by the petitioner.
The State Board on March 30 last assessed the
property Of the company at 50. 1873 500, but the
complaint that this too high reduced the as
sessment TO s46127.O00 Against this assessment
the company appeals. Its earnings for the year
ending June 60 1899 s, i5S52S. The fair value
at which it should be assessed would De. It is as

for the year 1899 taxes its capital stock ~
l94 g. and IS likely to he required 10 pay the
amount for the year 1890.
The petitioner says that the character Of its
pOyes and the services rendered by them have
resulted in the company being able to pay from g
to 10 per cent on its capital and should not be es
mated in the assessment.
