The Advisory Council OF Real Estate
Interests indorses the reorganization of
the administrative side of the state tax
system, as proposed by Governor Whit
man, and believes that all real estate
organizations and taxpayers assoeia,,
tions should cooperate with the Real
Estate Association of the State OF New
York in its efforts to accomplish TINS
reform. The proposed plan lays the
foundation for comprehensive system
of taxation by placing the function OF
assessment of taxes in one department,
similar to the Tax Department OF the
city, and leaving the collection of taxes
TO the State Controller and the enforce
ment against delinquents to the Attor-
new General-quite parallel to the syss-
tenn obtaining in the City of New YORK.
At present taxes are assessed not
alone By the State Controller and the
State Board of Tax Commissioners, but
even by other departments. The pro-
posal of the Governor at this time
merely takes the first step in the com
prehensive plan by consolidating the
CORPORATION Tax Bureau and the Con-
troller's Office with the proposed new
state tax commission, which takes over
all the work of the present State Board
of Tax Commission Under the law
at present the state board assesses 3e
special franchises of corporations,

which assessment is based essentially
increase of the supervisory power over
local assessments and equalizatiOns. IL
is a fact that outside of the cities In
this state, property subject TO the gen
eral property tax is away under-as-
sessed, and there is an absolute want
of uniformity, resulting in much dis
elimination and unfair taxation, not
alone with respect to individuals, but
with respect to the burden upon coun-
ties. towns and municipalities.
The Advisory Council feels not only
that the entire state should support
this effort to remedy abuses which
have existed for years, by reason of a
defective system of state taxation, but
this plan should be particularly sup
ported by the real estate interests OF
the city, because the ultimate result
will be of considerable benefit to the
finances of the city. in that the burden
of taxation for state purposes, when
fairly and honestly administered, will
mean an actual saving to the City OF
New York.
With regard to the particular bill
already introduced, it seems to the
council that it would be wise to spec
ify in the bill certain qualifications
for tax commissioners, as well as stlp-
ulating a term Of office that would be
of sufficient length to allow the COM
missioner to accomplish real work.
There are number of other vital
amendments that are necessary which
are being suggested by the Real Es-
tate Association of the State of New
York

and 1901 plans were projected for
the building of two seven story fiat
houses at the northwest corner of Tooth

combined frontages of the buildings
were about 105 feet. The structures
were designed for Elias Kempner by

The essence OF just taxation is
equality and uniformity Of taxation,
so that some central agency must con-
tinually work toward such result.
The assessment of the Catskill Aduc-
duct property by the towns outside
of the corporate limits Of New York
City is but an evidence of inequality
of assessment. Unless the aim OF
equal level assessments is followed.
the result is that one group Of prop
erty is Disseminated against by other
groups. Consequently, the existence
of a strong central agency or taX
commissioners is important. for It IS
not only necessary to get uniformity
and get facts, but il offers practical
working tribunal for the correction OF
tax discrimination and for certain
kinds of facts in the administration Of
taxation remedies.
After the present principle has been
enacted into law. then real estate in
terests of the city should insist that
the tax commissioners TO be appointed
should be proper men, who will en-
deavor TO conduct their work in sym
pathetic conjunction with the labors
of the assessors throughout the state.
and simultaneously devote their time
exclusively and untiringly TO this one
duty. The appointment of men who
may be eminent authorities on taxa
ton, but who are too often preoccu-
pied with diversified and multifarious
ether responsibilities, will not be con-
ducive toward attaining the harmo-
NOUS co-ordinated tax system the
present bill purposes TO consummate.
