TAX VALUATIONS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After a study of the tax question for twenty
years, being connected with large interests which
brought me into daily contact with the Tax Office
having also worked for the election of Mayor Low,
for whom I have great respect-I think have a
right TO criticise his administration OF the Tax
Office He is the head Official of the city, and is
responsible for the doings and acts OF the Tax
Commissioners. In my opinion. the valuations as
they stand for taxes OF 1903 absurd. What
expert will say that the assessments as they now
stand are the selling values of the various prop
critics? Some are far too high. others far too low
Do the commissioners give all their time TO the
city? If they did they would have ample time to
inspect with the deputes parcel Of property
IN the greater city, and get al an intelligent sell
ing, valuation But has this been done? II the
owners Of realty in this city under Mayor pledged
for reform cannot have experts (who will give all
their time) value their property. when can they
expect it? BENJAMIN 3. WOOD.

A TIPPING SUGGESTION.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: IN one of your recent issues it was stated
that an anti-tipping league is proposed. Such q
movement. once started. might be very beneficial
in its influence. l would suggest, however, that
instead Of being directed against all tipping what
ever which would be futile, the practical
way would be TO limit and regulate the practice
For instance. restaurant tips might be fixed at )
per cent of the bill; hotel tips at the rate to
be paid TO the clerk when the bill is paid. and to
be deposited by him in special box for the benefit
Of all the employees. The tip might if preferred
by the guest. be inclosed by him in an envelope
and so deposited in the box
Such a system if submitted 70 and approved by
restaurant and hotel keepers. with the public re-
quest that guests conform to it, would abolish
most Of the objections and all Of the nuisances
connected with the pressrt helter-sketer practice
