Hylan Mems Figures Surprise
Owners, Who Plan to

PERSONALITY BOOSTED TOO
John d. ROckefeller's Assess
ment Doubled Over Last
Years Figure.

Two points stand out in the figures
shown on the tax assessment books for
next year which were opened yesterday
at the Municipal Building. First, the
city's real estate has advanced s14S'-
l3o,3lO in value. Second, John ID.
Rockefeller's personal property has
doubled In value In the last year. For
years he has headed the list with $4,000
600, and last year he. paid s116,500 taxes
on that amount. This year he Is as
sessed at 100000.
The tax men have advanced the per-
sonal assessments by a total OF $780,
tss,s30 in all boroughs. Last year there
we're only ten persons In the city whose
personal holdings were valued at $1,000
900 or more, while this year there are
more than three times the number. or
the Vanderbilt family alone thirteen are
assessed for 100000 each. New
names appear in the same class. includ-
ing George +. Baker. William e. Cory
Charles NJ. Schwsb and Thomas F. Ryan.
Manhattan Island is credited with a
gain OF So, ass 500 in realty and Brook
Ign with $5S.456.os6. In Queens the
advance Is placed at SIS, 1S5,T25 and es-
timated increases for The Bronx and
Richmond, where the figures are not en-
t;rely tabulated. amount to &l2,OO0,ooo
and Sal 100000 respectively.
In the absence of moro definite IN
formation real estate men believe that
the Tax Department has capitalized the
high rentals which are being obtained
throughout the city because of the short
age OF rentable space. In that way only
can Manhattan's great advance be ac-
counted for.
Richmond's Prosperity Taxed.
The Borough Of Richmond, the only
one of the Ave not affected by new
rapid transit, has had a comparatively
large advance according to the city folks
which must be charged up to the bor-
oughs prosperity because of the war.
While these figures OF the Tax De-
partment show that New York city was
richer by $746,0Oo,o00 on October I,
1918, than on the same date last year
another $250,OOO,oo0 is likely to be
added to the increase by the state Tax
Department, which has the handling OF
assessments on special franchises and
! machinery in buildings,~eo that tho total
may reach a billion dollars.
Thousands of persons have standing
cnga gements from year to year to visi,
the Municipal Building on bright after
moons just after the first of october and
after each one has said II solemnly
! swear that haven't a thing in the world
but debts" or words TO that effect. an
other prospective taxpayer Is rubbed of
the roll. Last year after tentative
personal property assessment increase OF
1876 100000 the final figures showed a
total decrease of S16I.000.000 in all
boroughs, and a tentative increase In
real estate assessments OF $l37.00o.0o0
finally was reduced to $S5,000.000.
