Consternation Produced by Judge Wallace's De- cision, The €City Oficers St Hope tho Su- preme Court Will Re. verse It. Still They Will Aot This Year under the General Rovenue Law, A Special Meeting of the Council to Do Held This Evening. 1t Is Proposed to Hunt Up the Personal Property of Delinguents. Amount of Uncollected Taxes--= Eflect on T'ublic Works. What Mr, McGrath Thinks, Judgo Wallaco's decision advorse to tho legal- ity of collecting dolinquont city taxes under whant ia known s Bill 300 was tho subject of muteh uterest and discuesion in oficial circlos yesterday. Notwithstanding tho dovelopments in the Polico Board imbroglio whict had clsimed tho earucut attention of a large vumber, it was locked upon by the members of tho City Gov- erument ns & matter of much graver importauce. Shoridan, Colvio, Duolap, Itehm, and the varie ous parties to the tiresome polico sqaabble, wero forgotten in the gonoral interost which was oxcited by this topic. It made but very littlo aifferenco to auybody apparoatly which eido of tho fight was ahead. Whother Sheridan still beid stubborn possession or had returned to the butclor business mattorod very litilo beside a decision which might involve o loss to the city of half & miltion or #o of daollars. As its 1mport begun to bo understood, & buzz went round the building thas the oftices of CITY COLLECTOR, CITY APSESSOB, AND TAX-COM- IMSEIONER wero to bo abolished. T cral dopattmontsy, discorning that such might bo thio possible offect of the decision, chattered sbont it, and gave the rumor a good kend-off ; and tho head oficials themselvos did not appear to bo withoot considerable apprehen- #on. Al this created a wseusation which eclipsad the attraction of the polico row. As the consequencos of the decision be- carno hotter appreciated it provoked much in- f“lh'Y. aud thoeo who wero posted by reason of their closo relations to mattory connected with tazation woro bostoged for information, UL MESULT, ‘Lho decigion of Judge Wallace s in factn mattor of tho utmost importance, It possibly invalidates tho olty'sclalm to tho uncollected taxes of 1872, 1873, and 1874. If it in sustained by the Bupreme Court it will certainly necessi- tato spauial legislation to colloct them, in which ovent tho city will ho doprived of £1,500,000 of rovonuo for at least a yoar, and porlinps o longer time. It neceesitates aa {mmediato ndontion of the ather mothod of collecting city taxes to avoid risking the loss of the taves for 1876, Tho provisions of Bill 300 aro no donbt well underatootl by overy tax-payer or tnx-tighter, Uunder tho Qeberal Itevonuo law the Council in obliged to cortify to the County Clerk the nmount of roveouo it neoded for the current year. ‘That oflicial, taking the list of city prop- erty ms returoed by the County Asscssors, thon proceeds to oxtemd thercon wsuch rate of tax as will produco tho raveauo raquired by the city, and the same is then collected by tho Caunty Collootor. . Biit 300 was enacted to avoid jlis by allowing the Council to certify to tho City Collector tho ainount necd. ed for a yoar's current expenses, ho to collect it upou a valuation furniehed by tho City Asscssor, Judge Wallace practically docides that thisconrse takes tho wattor out of ‘the Jurisdwstion of tho Conuty Court, andthat consoquently ho hay no fegul right under tho bill to «lve judgment suainst dolinquents, I'ho Intont of the bill, so its friends say, was to goparate the revenucs of tho city from thoso of tho county; to give the city a chance to bandlo its own mouoy and avoid deiays in gotting it, and consoquently loss of in- terent, Tteally tho bill only kept slive certain oftices, The Common Councit IN BPITE OF A REFTHAL to give judgment for the delinquent taxes of 1874, and a full knowledge of tho inconsistoncies of thobitl, acted under it in 1874, and wauld probnbly have done so in reference to the taxes of this year, had 1t not boen for this timuly deciaion. lhe moiter was tha subjool of earnest contideration among the head city ofticialy you- torday. Tt was plainly to bo soen that thoir stu- pidity and stubbornness had joopardized the taxon of 1573 and 1874, It was "as plaluly to be seou that tue decision made It vecessary to take tmmedinto step.s about thoss of 1875, In regard to tho latter, A HPECIAL MEETING OF THE FINAACE COMMITTER of the Common Council was held yostorday af- ternoon in the Comptroller's room.” There wus o full astondauco, 1lesidos its mombers, Tax.
