AssembEyman Said TO Haze Bdbfed

icy TELEGRAPH TO TEE rRBUxE.I

Albany Jan 21--The mortgage tax ne0sui c.
which was exclusively forecasted IN Inc lid
une OF last week. is apparently deVeioplns aioile
lines laid down at that time. Mention was niaue
last Friday of the fact that well Informed real
estate men IN New-York City regarded 1t as ex-
tremely probable that Governor OdeH would
consider with favor some mortgage tax scheme
as a method of raising the revenue Tor the pay
ment OF the barge canal On Monday Assem-
blyman Bostwick announced that he proposed
10 introduce a measure which provided exactly
the details forecasted in The Tribune Of the pre-
vious week, namely. five mill record tax
In presenting this measure Mr.. Bostwick dis
claimed all intention Of introducing the measure
for the purpose Of raising revenue and declared
that the record tax was merely an incident TO
the important matter Of exempting mortgages
from taxation, which was the purpose OF his
measure The bin has not been introduced. but
to-day Mr.. Bostwick had long conference with
the Governor, In which, Il is intimated, 1t was
suggested that as his measure was framed it
could not be passed. owing TO The opposition Of
the rural members who regarded mortgage
taxes as the main source Of revenue for their
communities Now, as Mr.. Bostwick's measure
offered no return TO the counties, but merely
turned the entire revenue from the record tax,
variously estimated at from 81, 10000 TO 49,.
100000, over TO the State, the opposition of the
rural districts was pointed out to be certain.
To meet this objection the suggestion was
made TO Mr.. BOstwick that he add clause pro-
viding for the refunding OF this mortgage tax
revenue at the end Of eighteen years-or, in
other words at the end Of the time il was
necessary for the use Of the State in connection
with defraying the expense Of the canal con-

But at this proposition Mr.. Bostwick is
