Never before in the history of New
York city has there been such an
eagernsss and rush on the part of
the owners of real and personal prop
erty to pay their taxes at the first
possible moment as this year and the
result has completely shattered every
previous record of receipts for the
first day. says an exchange. When the
Office closed on the afternoon of the
first day SIP, 25O.00O had been re-
ceived in Manhattan and S2,500,000
in Brooklyn. The largest individual
payment received on the first day
was that of the vanderbilts, consist
ing of sixteen checks aggregating ST.
100000. One of these checks, drawn
for s35O.000, represented taxes due
from the New York Central railroad,
while the other represented accounts
on real and personal property from
the various branches of the family.
The remarkable promptness of citi-
zens in paying their taxes is inter
preted as a proof of the existing pros
perity and of the fact that prosperi-
ty is resting upon a more solid basis
than ever before.
