After August l..
MANY FIRMS RAISED
FROM 200 TO S50O,000
Protests Fill Mails and Hundreds

Indications that the decision TO boost
the assessments on personal property
up to the sky-the final figures were
$500 900 ,0O0-was reached after Au-
gust l were found yesterday in an ex-
animation Of books containing the az
sessments on personal property OF cor
porations. The entire list was gone
over after that date and corporations
boosted hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars at clip. Many were jumped from
1000 to 100000, while others were
raised from $4,000 TO s1,0OO,0oO.
More than one hundred corporations
are assessed for an even million dol
lars each. The total number assessed
on personal property Is 17,4e7, and the
total assessment is 1887 ,679,o 900.
At the Tax Department il was said
that the August l assessments were
not intended to be permanent, and that
after that date some Of tho investi-
gators brought in additional data upon
which they we're able to make in
creases. That practically all the corpora
tions were increased indicated, how
ever. that It was due TO a sudden de-
termination to make q big showing:

UNTERMYER FIGHTS TAXES
EnjoIns Yonkers from Selling Part OF
Greystone Estate

Samuel Untermyer, whose fights In
behalf Of minority stockholders have
won him many thousands of dollars as
a corporation lawyer, is now engaged
in a fight with the tax assessors OF
Yonkers to save himself as much as he
can of a $4,000 assessment for sewer
near his property. Part of his extensive
estate. Greystone, on North Broadway,
Yonkers. has been advertised for sale
for non-payment of the sewer assess
ment. -,
To prevent the property going on the
block, however, an injunction has been
obtained staying the sale until the Su-
preme Coutr can decide whether the tax
Is exorbitant or not. Mr.. Untermyer
thinks it is, and through his counsel,
General r. &. Prime, has entered pro-
test.
He explained at his house last night
that the advertisement OF sale was
merely a technicality, an that his hght
with the tax authorities was entirely a
friendly one.
Mr.. Untermyer has on previous occa-
sions fought assessments levied on
Greystone for public improvements,
and on one occasion forced the city TO
compromise a long-drawn contest on
the ground tab the labor law under
which the workmen made the improve
ment was unconstitutional.
