An appraiser OF the Tax Department
In determining the value or water

passes judgment on the value linear or

figures for the linear feet will also be
reflected i'm the front foot rate OF the
lots Of the upland contiguous 10 those
lots fronting on the marginal or parallel
street. These units Of value will be iden-
teal in the majority of cases. because
experience has shown that the bulkhead

the total is obtained by adding the value
of the bulkhead line and the land under
the piers plus the worth OF the piers.
Before the adoption Of the new method
OF appraising waterfront property there
were two well established ways Of arriving
at what was generally accepted as true
estimate of the worth OF shore line sites
used for shipping purposes. They were
called the thumb rule method, because
totals apparently satisfactory could be oo-
tanned by them as easily as one tries TO
measure cloth by the thumb. Adherents
of that system gave to the entire properly
under Advertisement the same unit OF
value from the bulkhead line to the first
marginal or parallel street They ala not
consider that the incorporeal heredltament
or the bulkhead line had any special value
apart from the adjacent upland or land
under water, or, in other words, that IL
was such a tangible thing that 1t could be
assessed AS a separate factor. Property

they are many-of harbor sites in the

There are some properties with 'front.'

YorN which cannot be appraised accord
Ing to this rule. Those properties are
notable exceptions. They are no: usei
for commercial purposes or for shipping,
but for public Fairgrounds, amusement
places. and for seashore residential uses
Of various kinds. Coney Island. Brighton
Beach. the Rockaways and similar water

The sum that has been paid or that a
person would be willing TO pay for prop
erty in those districts is reflected in the

made of the upland. the more highly
priced the waterfront.
Experts who are conversant with the
new assessment system are loud in their
praise Of II.
The value of the buIkhead line in this
city ranges from 500 to $500 a front
foot The wide range of price shows
the varying conditions affecting such
properties. Experts who have a thorough
knowledge OF those conditions know how
to correctly apply this new and scientific
method of assessing waterfront And
the Tax Department has them.

turns in less than two years. The United
States government has expended millions
on the Panama Canal and the State OF
New York has expended over sl50,Oooo0

completion OF these tremendous improve
ments in less than one year the increased
trade of the transatlantic steamers,
coastwise steamers and the shipping from
the Western states bordering on the
Great Lakes, also the Canadian trade
through the new Barge Canal Is going TO
revolutionize our shipping industry and
create an unprecedented demand TO- wa

The demands for piers and waterfront

some technical terms may confuse the
mind when the first effort is made TO learn

can be said in favor Of the old ways, ex
