PENDLETON TO METZ.
Nay Sell Properties for Special
Franchise Tares, But -.

CORPORATION Counsel Pendleton has advised the
Controller that he may go ahead and sell at public
auction the properties OF various local corpora
tons which have not paid the special franchise
taxes, but warns him that the corporations may
make trouble for the city II he does so.
Last week the Controller announced that to col
Iect about s85 100000 of unpaid special franchise
taxes he would sell the propertes-that Is II the
Corporation Counsel would let him.
Mr. Pendleton says that 1T is a fact which
must be reckoned with that most If not all Of the
special franchise taxes assessed that they
possibly will not sustained in their entirety.
because. he says. the State Board OF Tax Com
missoners levied assessments at what they deemed
the full value the property. and yet have deter
mined the equalization rate at percentages varying
between different years, but always less than full
value" He says the law gives to owners OF spe-
cal franchises a clear right to reduction OF their
assessments ths percentage Of assessment 10
value prevailing in the tax district. He also warns
the Controller OF a further reduction incident TO
any litigation where taxpayer seeks review OF
the valuation his property.
The unpaid carrying per cent interest

cess Of payment above the legal liability as deter
mined in the pending cases. must be refunded by
the city with per cent interest. II that should
come about. he says the enforcing OF payment now
would amount the same thing as borrowing
money for the city at per cent interest As 10
whether these special franchise taxes viii ever be
paid and whether the litigation they going

Counsel says
In anticipation of the decision Of these suits
