BOGGS SUGGESTS
NEW WAY TO TAX
NATIONAL BANKS
Opinion of City Attorney Will
Result in Radical
Changes.
OUTSTANDING CIRCULATION
NOT A DEBT, HE SAYS
Taxation of Property Valued at
More Than S2,OOO,OO0
to Tax Budget.

As the result of an opinion sub
mitted today by City Attorney Herbert
Boggs, radical change in the method
of taxation of shares of capital stock
in national banks will be made this
year by the Board of Commissioners
of Taxation. Through this change taxa;
tion Of property valued at more than
s2,O0o,O0O will be added to. the tax
budget.
Under the new method recommended
by Mr.. Boggs, the liabilities of the
banks will be deducted from the re-
sources. leaving the capital, surplus
and undivided profits. From this
amount are deducted the exempt and
untaxable securities and the real es-
. tate ownings, and the assessment Is
made from this balance
MIR. Boggx's Opinion.
The opinion given by Mr.. Boggs, up
on whose authority this change in as
sessment is made, follows:
"Shares of national bank stock are
taxable in the hands of the holder at
their true value (Which the board has
, usually assumed to be the book valued.
deduction being made in ascertaining
the value of the shares of the amount
of nontaxable securities held by the
1,t,x rl,a r
stock is, of course, the capital and sur
plus. divided by the total number of
shares. In estimating their surplus the
national banks of the city have charged
against their assets as a liability the
amount OF outstanding circulation.
Il think. under the recent case of
Trenton against the Standard Fire In
surance Company. decided by the Court
OF Errors and Appeals at the June
term, 1909, that this is such contin-
gent liability as should not be taken
into consideration in estimating the
surplus. Under that decision I think
only the debts of the bank should be
offset against it's gross assets to de-
termine the net surplus and capital
while the outstanding. circulation
may be construed to be possible con-
tingent liability, 1t is not debt within
the legal acceptation of that term. I
think, therefore, the value of the Ma
tional bank stock should be estimated
on its book value, deducting the nom
taxable securities held by the banks
as returned to them, but not allowing
the outstanding circulation"

of the sirens on the steamers which. ii
had been arranged should be blown
when the flyer started, were absent
from their posts. Only a few persons
received the wireless warning of
Bleirot's ascent.
NJ. La Fontaine. a friend of the avia-
tor. arrived at the Lord Warden hotel
from Calais at midnight, saying he had
an appointment to meet NJ Bleirot at !
o'clock. The hotel people thought he
was Joking.
Sailors Saw Him First.
NJ. La Fontaine selected as a landing
miles east of Dover, where the airship
would be sheltered from the wind in
settling. There he planted the French
flag. The sailors on the ships in the
harbor were the first to discover that
Bleirot was approaching. They heard
the buzzing of the motor two or three
minutes before they could discern the
aeroplane. Then what looked like a
big white butterfly glided over their
heads as fast as a train of cars and
with almost as much noise. It reached
the cliff near the gray turrets of Dover
castle. swooped around in broad curves
and disappeared.
BleirOt said, however. that he had alb

fear that the motor would fail. The
only difficulty he experienced was the
