Defence OF MORTGAGE EXEMPTION.
sEYMorR's BRIEF IN REPLY To OPPONENTS OF
HIS BILL.

Albany. March n.-Assemblyman Seymour. Of
New-York City who introduced the bill for the ex-
emption OF mortgages from taxation, has repaired
a memorandum covering the points raised by the
opponents OF the oil. The brief says in part:
The total assessed value of real estate for the
entire State = S5.016 000 0o0. while the total as
sessed valuation OF personal property for the entire
State Is s616,0O0 600 The mortgage Indebtedness
OF the State is 2.5SS, 0do According the
Controllers estimate. then. about S75.u0O000 is
taxed. But that both estimates TOO small.
and make the amount S100.OOO.OD0
This is the outside limit of that will he

mortgages are entirely exempted. The taxes col
lected would be at 2la per cent. approXima ely

sum. the borrowers on mortgages 20 the amount OF

amount received for
This immense of S10.00o000 would be gained
by the borrowers in they were compelled 10
hear all the increased burden in real estate caused
by the exemption OF mortgages. This burden. as
shown above. amounts to S2.500.o0o only. The
borrowers could share however. with the owners
of free and clear property and the of other
personal property taxed. so the borrowers of the
state would gain not only this S1o0ou,00o hut also
