'CLAFLLN ASSESSMENT RIGHT
APPELLATE DIVISION HOLDS CUES
TIONS ABOUT NEW-JERSEY BUSI-
NESS NOT INQUISITORIAL.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yes
terday handed down a decision affirming order
of Justice Fitzgerald in the of the People ex
rel the H. B. Clafin Company against the City
Tax Commissioners. Justice Fitzgerald dismissed
writ of certiorari sued by the Clafin COM
pany to review it's for taxation for the
year 1899. The company had been originally as
sessed to the amount of 100000. but after
ing. the amount reduced s1.OOOO00. Tho
company appealed the Supreme Court have
the assessment still further reduced asserting that
the property taxable in this State amounted to
only $4,000 AT Special Term the president OF the
company refused to testify regarding the business
of the company in New-Jersey. and the justice
cordingly dismissed the writ.
Justice Rumsey refers to the Organization of the
corporation in another State as being evidently
purely formal matter and he says that in order
to find out the of capital actually invested
In this State it essential understand some
thing of the company's affairs in New-Jersey- AS
TO the claim that this would be inquisitorial. he
says that all tax inquiries necessarily inqusi
tOrial to certain extent. and it had not been
shown that there was any improper desire to pry
into private affairs in this case.
Justi,e Rumsey then reviews some of the figures
in the case. In January. 1s99 the assets of the
company We're S15.9S30e0, while the liabilities
elusive Of capital given 81. .Oeo IT ap-
peared. however. that of the only 81 240 600
were in New-York, while against this sum was to
be charged about 100000 of he liabilities. The
justice himself finds Ire figures confusing and.
after discussing them considerable detail. he
says:
The commissioners might well question the accu-
racy or this statement, which upon its face looks
al little tile 91 doubtful That vas undoubtedly understood
ing that the result of their of doing bust
ness was that on the second Monday OF January
fuly S6eo.WO was owing TO New-YOrk firms, and
fully 100000 could be traced purchases of mer-
chandiSe in New-YOrk and accounts and notes owed
to New-YOrk firms.
Under all the circumstances. Justice Rumsey con-
cludes that some information as to the company's
proceedings in New-JerSey essential to
understanding of the New-YOrk business, and, on
the hgureS that are testified to. that the
ment of N.O0O.000 does not appear excessive.

president?
Thereby hangs the tale. This candidate has
made higher bid for the Office than any one else
is likely to make. She promises to float" all the
bonds required to secure the new clubhouse on
which the leagues heart is set within month
after her election. Further she hints that she in
tends having a theatre with stock company, and
will form the company from the theatrical mem
bership of the league if that all powerful element
will support her in the struggle.
To a largo number these good and sufhclent

opinion that some qualifications whose possession

And mortal fear
Bedims thy sight and hides the light.
Be of good cheer
The Light of Truth ne'er ceased to shine

And each one can this Truth reflect
Watch and pray.
