In its suit for tho dissolution Of the
National Commission and the affili-

EcReT PROFITS CHARGED IN
STOCKHOLDERS SUIT,

William Rockefeller figured prom
inently In this case. where 1t was
claimed the Brooklyn Union Gas
Company was Withholding S7.000.00O
OF secret profits that should have
been distributed among the stock
holders, and which should have en-
tered into the valuations Of the spe-
cial franchise and have been taxed.
II is said that Mayor Mitchell In.
tends to consult with the Governor
on a new special franchise bill. so
these valuable rights may be accu-
rately taxed and made to bear their
part Of the burden Of the government
and not be able to escape by settle
ments out OF court. Steps are being
taken to prevent the companies from
giving one value for regular real
estate assessment and another value
on tho same property for special
franchise purposes. In the case Of
the Brooklyn Union Gas. the COM
pany says Its real estate was worth
about one million and half for the
regular tax on real estate. but worth
over I'VE millions for the purpose OF
eating up prof1ts and thus reducing
the value Of the special franchise
when II was taxed.
