THE PERSONAL TAX LISTS.
TENTATIVE ASSESSMENTS ON NEARLY
s3,OOOOOOO OF PROPERTY.

The books. which opened Mon
day. show that tentative assessments per
sonal property to the amount of nearly
S3Oo0.0o0ooo have been made in the Borough
of Manhattan for this year. The exact amount
Is 1895, ,6s4 ,916. If anything like that amount
of personal property could be taxed, it is evil
dent that there would be large decrease of the
tax rate for 1902, but the Commissioners OF
Taxes and Assessments do not expect that they
will be able to keep more than one-ffth OF that
amount on the books From until April
i there will be never ceasing stream of peo-
pie going TO the office Of the commissioners and
swearing off personal taxes There were several
hundred persons at the office for that purpose
yesterday
Last year the tentative assessments on per
sonal property in Manhattan amounted TO
50, ,754 6S6045 After the swearing off process
was completed there remained the books for
the borough about $500 600, 900 in personal prop
erty subject TO taxation That the bulk of per-
sonal property for the entire city is in Man
haitian can be seen when il is stated that the
tentative assessments for personal property IN
the city amount to So I'D 121 500 this year.
There many thousand names on the list or
people supposed TO have personal property sub.
Ject TO taxation. and these persons were receiV-
ing by mail yesterday official notices giving the
amounts they are held for. Every year the as
SCISSORS add TO the list great many names with
out knowing that the persons really have per-
sonal property subject to taxation. Such guess
work makes trouble for thousands. but every
year the drag net catches thousands of persons
who compelled to admit that they should
be taxed on personal property.
The assessors sometimes make increases In
the amounts on which persons have paid taxes
several years, to make sure the city is getting
its due from them. Some wealthy men have
been known TO stand such increases without
protesting for some years rather than take the
trouble TO swear off. while others have moved
out of the city or have invested their personal
property in government bonds to escape what
they declared excessive taxation
Following some of the conspicuous resi-
dents Of Manhattan appearing on the tax books
this year. with the tentative assessments for
personal property that are placed opposite their
names in the books;
