BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. ‘The case of the Bull’s Head Bank, in which a pe- tition had been filed for the purpose of throwing the affairs of that establishment into bankruptcy, ‘was called yesterday in the United States District Court, before Judge Blatchford; but it went over by consent for a week, as it is expected that an ar- rangement will be made to pay the losses suffered by the bank. An application ‘was made yesterday to Judge Blatchiord, in the United States District Court, by Mr. J. H. Platt, receiver of the Stuyvesant Bank, for authority to sell the lease of the bank property, which has seven years to run, to the Sixpenny Savings Bank for $10,000, which is a much less sum than many of the directors of the bank think it wonld realize if put into the market. The Judge reserved his decision, A motion was made yesterday in the case of Mrs, Lucy Fisk, executrix of the late James Fisk, Jr., vs. The Union Pacific Railroad, the Crédit Mobilier and others, belore Judge Blatchford, to vacate an order extending till the 15th of April the time for certain of the co-respondents to answer. Decision reserved. Oficial papers were yesterday submitted to Com- missioner Osborn charging Martin Cashin, a sea- man on board the American bark Mary M. Bird, and Anna Erras, stewardess of the same vessel, with having set fire to her in the month of Decem- ber last in the harbor of Buenos Ayres. The dam- @ge done tothe ship was between five and six thousand dollars. The accused will be forwarded to New York and immediately arrested on their arrival here. THE WIDOW FISK’S SUIT. Yesterday, in the United States District Court, belere Judge Blatchford, inthe case of Mrs. Lucy Fisk, executrix o1 James Fisk, Jr., deceased, which is an action to aetermine Mrs, Fisk’s right to 20,000 shares claimed to have been held in the Crédit Mobilier and Union Pacific Railroad by her late husband, Mr. David Dudley Field made a motion to vacate an order extending the time till the 15th of April for Durant, McComb, McKee, Rollins, Brooks and Williams, co-respondents, to put in their answers. Counsel argued that there nad been great delay in putting in these answers. The ‘bill was filed May, 1871. The time to answer ex- pired in June. lt was extended till July. It ‘Was again extended to August 1 and to September 4. Then, instead of answering, the defendants de- murred. The demurrer was overruled. Before the demurrer there had been seven extensions of 181 Gays, and since the demurrer there had been ex- tensions pecoupene of the plaintiff extending to 206 days. le would be willing to extend the time for answering to the 1st of May, provided he could ef on and take testimony without prejudice. He (Mr. Field) intended to take a voyage around the world, and it was important that the testi- mony should be taken while he was in the country. Mr. Stickney, on the part of the defendants, ad- mitted that the extensions of time reterred to by counsel had been granted; but said there had been some difficulty in getting the co-defendants named to verify their answers, as they lived in different and distant parts of the States. He did not think that the testimony could be properly taken until the answers were veritied. ae Judge took the papers and reserved his de on. ALLEGED BURNING OF THE BARK MARY M. BIRD. ©The American Bark Mary M. Bird—She is Set Fire to in the Harbor of Buenos Ayres—The Suspected Parties Arrested and on Their Way to This Port. The United States Consul at Buenos Ayres, under @ate of February 12, 1873, writes to Mr. William Hunter, Second Assistant Secretary of State, in- forming him that on a night in the month of De- cember last the American bark Mary M. Bird, Captain Frank B. Packard, was set on fire, and damaged to the extent of five or six thousand dol- lars, and narrowly escaped complete destruction. ‘The lives of the officers and crew were also seri- ously imperilled. All the persons on board were supposed to have been asleep except one seaman, Martin Cashin, who was stationed as anchor watch at eleven o'clock. He did not call his Feliet at twelve o’clock, as it was his dut to have done. At about hali-past twelve o’cloci an alarm of fire was raised by the stewardess, Anna Erra: The fire was extinguished by the crew, with ald from the English and American shipg, Parts of a kerosene oil can were found ip the lazaretto, where the fire originated. This can had been left the preceding night in the pantry, which opens from the inner cabin next loor to the room of the stewardess. When the alarm of fire was given the watchman was found in a stupid and partially insensible condition, He took no part in extinguishing the fire, and said “he had got something ait’? which had poisonea him, but exhibited consciousness enougl to tell his shipmates to call him before ‘‘she went down.” ‘The next day, after he was arrested, he said to the men, ‘I have got into a pretty scrape, haven’t 1?” Cashin (the accused) informed the Consul that the stewardess came to him while he was on the watch, talked to him confidentially, and then told him to come to her window, where she gave him several glasses of liquor, after which he was ‘unconscious of all that occurred until next day. The Consul has decided to send Martin Cashin to New York for trial, and expresses his belief that Anna Erras, the stewardess, has been connected with the alleged oftence. This woman and her husband, Charles Erras, the cook of the Mary M. Bird, are ex- pected by the bark Isaac Hall in New York shortly, and the stewardess wili, upon her arrival, be placed under arrest on the charge above re- ferred to. The Consul has taken measures to send Cashin forward, as also the crew of the Mary M. Bird, who are to appear as witnesses for the pros- ecution. It appears from the Consul’s despatch that of late there has been a good deal of insubor- dination among the crews of American vessels in the port of Buenos Ayres. The crime charged against the accused is, we believe, made a capital one under aa oid Jaw of Congress. On the arrival of the accused tiie case will be examined into by United States Commissioner Shields. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. SUPREME COURT—CHARBERS. A Life Insarance Company that Don’t Want to Pay. Before Judge Fancher. fm July, 1871, three policies of insurance for $1,000 each were obtained by three parties, named re- spectively Beardsley, Haight and Wallin, in the Reserve Mutual Life Insurance Company, on the life of a Mx. Coughlin, then a resident of Chenango county, in this State. In October, 1872, Coughlin died of consumption, and upon the allegation that he had this disease at the time the policies were taken out the company refused to pay them, The company further charges a conspiracy to cheat the company out of the amount between the three Parties named above and the examining physician. An injunction was obtained to prevemt them from & ing with the policies, and the case came ito this Court yesterday on @ motion to continue the injunction and to prevent the bringing ot tures | different suits, The case argued at great length by aa Peckuem for A company, and ich, Chenango county. ham claimed that the 3 b Mr. licies shoulda be set aside and declared yotd, on the ground of conspiracy to defraud the company, ana he cited numerous au- thorities on the. subject, Mr, Mygatt read a large ‘WEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MARCH 30, 1873--QUADRUPLE SHEET—WITH SUPPLEMENT: numer of affidavits bearing on his side of the case, all setting forth Coughiin’s sound physical health at the time the policies were Obtained. Among them was the affidavit of his wife, who was mar- ried to him, it ay peare, after the insurances were effected on his + ie. She states that in January, 1872, he caught a severe cold, and that this threw him into a consumption. In the course of his re- marks Mr, Mygatt observed that life itself was hardly less hazardous than getting money out of life insurance companies, The Court took the papers, Decisions.

There is scarcely any end to the suits brought against the city to regulate irregularities of as- sessment, and particularly in the matter of street paving. Four of this class of suits—two brought by Currier & Freeborn to regulate the assess- ments tor repaving South and other streets, and the two brought by Long & Voorhis in re- gard to the assessments for paving various streets, were recently brought into this Court and 12858 Robinson yesterday gave a decisionin regard to them. He holds that the act of 1872 covers mere irregularities in assessments, but does not relate to any assessments for pavements laid prior to January 1, 1872, ‘his act provided when an as- sessment was raised for irregularities for reassess- ment, excepting, however, all assessments for re- paving streets where the property had paid one as- sessment for paving. The decision holds that this act, though retroactive, is constitutional, and that the remedy to be administered must have reference to it, and, though these suits are not abated by it, the injunction in the case of Long & Voorhis will have to be subject to the right of the city to take measures for reassessment, and as to Currier & Freeborn if the subject of their assessments is excepted by the terms of the act the injunction is to be absolute, : Decisions, eae Dill.—Report confirmed.—Judgment for plaintit. Smith vs. Brig Eliza.—Appeal dismissed under section 364 of the code, unless appellant stipulate within five days after service of notice of order herein to bring appeal to trial at next General Term; $10 costs of motion to abide event of appeal. A SPIRIT “MEDIUM” IN COURT. The Jefferson Market Police Court presented a lively appearance yesterday afternoon,’ owing to the announcement that “Doctor” J. V. Mansfield, of 361 Sixth avenue, known among modern Spirit- ualists as a ‘‘Test Medium,” would be brought up on complaint of a number of gentlemen of this city, charged with “disorderly conduct and con- duct calculated to provoke a breach of the peace.” For some time before the hour designated for the examination the more prominent Spiritualists, whose faces are familtar at‘the Apollo Hall Spiritual conferences, began to gather, showing a fair repre- sentation of that peculiar class which runs to long hair, a careless attire and unsettled manner. Much sympathy was expressed by them when the “Doc- tor,” who, as is alleged, is threatened with paralysis, entered, supported on either side by the arm of a friend. The prosecutors, numbering some six or seven business men, were also well supported, and a lively fight was anticipated. After a few unim- portant matters were disposed of, Ris Honor Jus- tice Cox called the case of the People vs. Mansfield, and at his suggestion the parties ad- journed to the examination room, where the crowd eagerly followed. The pesoney was repre- sented by Counsellors Albert Day and A, W. Tenny, and the prosecution by Mr. McClellan, The pro- ceedings opened by an announcement from Mr, Tenny on the part of Mr. Mansfleld that he waived, an examination and was ready to give to await the action of the Grand Jury. siderable skirmishing followed between counsel, which His Honor terminated by deciding that this was a summary proceeding under the statute, the ones question being whether the prisoner should held to bail to keep the peace, and his volunteering bail would be to plead guilty to the charge. A strong effort on the part of the prison- er’s counsel was then made to obtain a postpone- ment of the examination, but without success, The pieseen nor then called Mr. William G, Grant, a well known lumber merchant, residing at the St. Cloud Hotel, Mr. Grant detailed an interview which he, in Seabees with others, had with Mans- field. He said the prisoner proposed to furnish communications from the departed spirits of friends of the visitor; that he proVided the visitor with a certaim style of paper, very thin and trans- parent, upon which he (the visitor) wrote his ques- tion and folded it in @ prescribed manner; then the prisoner laid his hand upon it, and after waiting for a time, as he alleged, for the requisite “magnetism,” folded the Ug ina much smaller compass, sealed it with mucilage, and, taking a pencil, wrote a pretended answer to it. The particular question spoken of had been written by one of the party and addressed to his brother in the beh land, though he never had a brother either there or anywhere else. Neverthe- less, an answer was obtained. Mr. Grant explained how a knowledge of the question was arrived at by showing ‘‘the conditions,” as they are called—that is, the character of the paper, the pencil and light— and swore that himseif and the other gentlemen with him could do it just as well as Mr. Mansfield, and without any aid from spirits, At the conclu- sion of the direct examination of the witness the case was postponed for two weeks. BURGLARS BALKED. Arrest of the Notorious Allen Brothers by the Police of the Eighth Ward— Fighting for Freedom. Two notorious characters, named Wesley and Marten Allen, were arraigned at Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday morning, charged with at- tempting to commit a burglary upon the premises of C. Kohisart, No. 9 Mercer street. Before being sent to Court the men were conveyed to Police Headquarters, where they were examined before Captain Irving, who listened to the story of the ar- rest. The Aflens complained of having been beaten by the officers while confined in the cells. This statement the police denied, and said they only used the clubs in self-defence, when the prisoners attempted to escape. It appears that shortly after one o’clock yester- day morning, as OfMicer Richard Jackson was patrolling his post in Mercer street, he saw three men near Canal street, acting in a suspicious man- ner, and on going towards them they turned into that thoroughfare and walked towards Broadway. The officer, thinking that were thieves and at- tempting to commit a burgi; concluded to try his doors, and immediately set about it, examining THE LOCKS ON EACH one separately. On reaching the silk and lace house of John 0. Kohisaat, Nos. 9, 11 and 13 Mercer street, he noticed that the padlock on the door, although the same shape as the one usually usea, was something smalier. Coupling this fact with the LT naga of the three men in the vicinity, the officer felt assured that these parties had forces off the lock belonging to Mr. Kohisaat and put on one of another pattern. About the time he came to the conclusion he saw ene of the three men, who had in the meantime changed hats with another of the gang, turn again into Mercer street, from Canal, and as he was about to pass the officer the latter seized him and told him that he was wanted. On looking closely at the prisoner offieer Jackson discovered that it was the notorious “Wes” Alle! who was sent to State Prison some time , an has justreturned home. The officer took his pris- oner to the station house, where he was searched and anew padlock, two keys, a knife and a quan- tity of red pepper were FOUND UPON HIM. While Officer Jackson was engaged in the arrest of Wesley another of the party turned the corner ot Mercer and Canal streets, but seeing one of his partners in the grasp of an officer, again tarned into Street and ran towards Broadway but was canght by y OMcer Maloney, who was patrollin Canal aoa ED that officer ‘ " ‘ANDS ON THIS MAN the latter threw @ handful of red pepper in his face, nearly blinding him for the moment, and, breaking away, ran across Broadway and into the , follows Bucceeded in capturing him. While raguing away this Pri threw away thre whic! Lod running away were subsequently picked up by Maloney, and with the prisoner taken to the station, where be gave his name as John B. Coles, but was sub- sequently recognized by several officers as “Mart”? Allen, It was ascertained that tne third man was Henry Wiley, alias “Shorts,” and Officer Wilson was detaited to find him, which he did, about: an hour aiterwards, in the house No. 164 Wooster street. and took him to the station house. Upon searching him, the oMcers found some red pepper and a gasfitter’s tongs in his pocket, after which he was locked up. After ashort examination at the police court = wore committed to await a more extended in- ry jon, LOCAL AND STATE TAXATION. There was alarge and distinguished gathering at the Union League Club last evening to listen to Hon. David A. Wella, who spoke at length on local and State taxation, The speaker opened by allud- ing to the present disgraceful system of taxation in this State. The theory in vogue in New York and other States of the Union upon which was laid the basis of the present system of taxation was that it was necessary to assess every item and description of property, real and personal. In the early history of the country, when there was little competition, and when bonds and other like instruments were un- taxed, and when property consisted of tangible things, such as ships, slaves, lands and houses, the application of this system involved little diMculty. Fully one-fifth of the personal property of the United States was held in bonds and legal tenders, notes and money, which were exempt from State taxation by decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. All original packages and property in transitu were also exempt when owned by persons, firms and corpo- rations established and doing business in other States, but only selling their own goods in New York through permanently located agents. This property alone in New York State would aggregate hundreds of millions, every dollar of which was exempt from taxation. The laws of this State also exempted the deposits and surplus of savings banks, amounting to $300,000,000, and justly also the property of its citizens subject to some exte- rior sovereignty, Another large proportion of the property of the State was of the most intangible character. He meant bills of exchange, State, municipal and corporate bonds, acknowledgments of indebtedness. This property constantly fluctu- ated in value, and was constantly transferred from one locality to another; hence all attempts to as- sess this species of property were unsatisfactory, and nearly every civilized community had aban- doned the taxation of this kind of property except the States of the federal Union: He referred to the unjust rule of residence, by which railroad cars, ships, steamboats and immense stocks of Taw material owned and held in our great cities were exempt trom taxation. Could New York afford to put her citizens at a disadvantage in this respect? Did we not see Penn- sylvania, with her system of taxation, advancing in giant strides in population and wealth, while New York, laboring under old and exploded Ideas, develo} slowly? Was there not a tendency on the part of capitalists to leave a State where there was a discriminating tax levied on its resident citi- zens? Two-thiids of the personal property of the State was exempted from taxation by law, with a large part of the other one-third exempted by com- penne nations or neighboring States. What, then, ecame of the theory so generally accepted in the United States that in order to tax equitably it was necessary to tax everything? In New York the aggregate of personal prop- erty fully equalled that of the real property, while .the proportion of the former retarned for taxation was not in excess of one-flith of the total assessed valuation. While the State had been in- creasing in wealth and population the ratio of personal to real property assessed in 1872 was less than in 1869; that the whole amount of personal provers assessed in the State was not equal to he capital and surplus and deposits of the banks and savings banks of the State, and that in New York city, with a population of 1,000,000, not two per cent of the citizens stood assessed for personal roperty. He therefore believed the whole system imperfect, @ farce, and an obstruction to ma- terial progress. In Massachusetts, where the most perfect system of taxation on this plan was in vogue, it was also unsatisfactory, and the officials regarded it as a failure, He urged, therefore, that if taxes were levied on a broad basis, like real estate, with certainty of proportionality and uni- formity on a few items of property like the fran- chises of all moneyed corporations, enjoying the same privileges within the State, and on fixed signs Oo! profits, as rental values of buildings—they would diffuse themselves with unerring equality, First—That_ real estate, lands and _ buildings eit be taxed ona full and fair market valua- ion. Second—That moneyed corporations and unincor- porated deposit bankers should be taxed. Third—While under these two rules all property now returned for assessment was included, it was provosed further to correct defective taxation by additional provisions in, which the landlord is made responsible for the tax; but the occupant can be pursued by the law for reimbursement according to the terms of the lease. All other preperty would be exempt from taxation. Fourth—To provide for the appointment of a chet) officer whose duty it should be to enforce the ax laws, Mr. Wells assumed that three times the rental of & property is equal to the personal preperty of the occupant; that 1s, a man paying $1,000 annual rent must have an income of at Igast $3,000, which pre- supposes a capital in some form—property or brains—w $40,000, Would it be unjust that such a person should pay one or two per cent taxes on three times his rental—$3,000, as the represen- tative of his personal property’ He also showed by figures how this system would equalize taxa- tion as between city and country real estate. He spoke against the theory of inffnitesi- mal taxation and rociaimed that any imposition of taxes, which cannot be finally dif- fused by the natural laws of trade and dealings in proportion to expense and consumption, partook of the odious character of tax spoliation or con- fiscation. The effects of phis new system would be a natural uniform law, executed on all property in every form used and consumed in the State. ere sons must occupy buildings, and business must be done in buildings, and through these visible instru- mentalities capital can be reached by a rule of practical uniformity and by a simple, plain and economical method of assessment and collection, He contended that it would greatly reduce taxa- tfon, promote prosperity greater than could be obtained through any other agenoy, and render New York State the financial centre and com- mercial entrepot of the Continent. TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, To THE Eprror OF THE HERALD:— There are twenty-one wards in this city of ours, only nine of which are deemed qualified to have representatives in the new Board of Education, as the following carefully made list will testify :—One is a resident of the Fifth ward, two are residents of the Ninth ward, one from the Fourteenth ward, one from the Sixteenth ward, three from the Sev- enteenth ward, three from the Kighteenth ward, three from Nineteenth ward, five irom the Twenty-first ward and two from the Twenty-sec- ond ward. That the electors of New York will be satisfied with a system that gives to twelve wards no repre- sentation, although they have to pay their propor- tion of the taxation by which tt is sustained, I have my doubts. That the schools of certain localities will be well provided for, there is occular demonstration from the number of Commissioners that have been given to their wards, while those sections that have no immediate representation to whom they can apply will suffer as they have done under the old King arrangement. The district system was struck from the pill at Albany to Bratity the representatives of Murray Hill, and until it ia restored our public edu- cation will be an unsettled question with each suc- ceeding Legislature. This subject comes home directly to the people, and tl look to the HgRaLp as their monthpiece in all matters that atfect their interests. Yours, very truly, A CITIZEN, HORRIBLE DEATH ON THE RAIL, Yesterday afternoon an unknown man came toa frightful death on the Erie road. He was stepping from one car to another, near the Bergen tunnel, when he slipped between the cars and was crushed to death in an instant. The body was taken to the office of Coroner Parslow in Hoboken. Deceased was about thirty years of age, had black hair, brown coat and pants and was apparently an Irishman. In his pocket were nine razors, i ol seep by some person in Canal street, New ‘ork. e.

THE PAST WEEK’S RECORD. Cursory Review of the West- chester Annexation. System of Making Awards and Assessmente— How Streets and Avenues Are Opened—The Labor Done on the Kingsbridge Road Improvement and the Northern Bou- levard—An Invidious Compari- son—Heavy Private Sales. A somewhat panicky week in real estate closed yesterday, having been remarkable only for dul- ness in the public market, while at private sales some very good transactions were had, contrary to general expectations. Itis scarcely necessary to repeat here the ‘‘oft told tale’? why the business of purchase and disposal of property has been more active during the past six days, as this sub- ject formed the theme of this column almost daily. The chance for a general improvement during the ensuing week, according to the prognostication of the quidnuncs, has almost arrived, this being no less than the anticipated grand SALE OF THE POST ESTATE, which occurs on Tuesday, the Ist of April, and which has anxiously been waited for by a large number of active operators, This estate consists of 165 choice lots, located on and fronting River- side Park, also Claremont avenue. Messrs. Muller, Wilkins & Co. have charge of this sale; and, con- sidering the great success these gentlemen met with in disposing of the Oarman estate, a similar result may be anticipated for the ensuling auction. Besides the last mentioned, there will be held at the Real Estate Exchange a number of other highly hiaportant sales, the particulars thereof will be pub- lished in to-morrow’s (Monday’s) HERALD. Annexation to the city of the towns of Morris- ania, West Farms and Kingsbridge meets with favor wherever fairly considered, from whatever point it is viewed. These SCATTERED MUNICIPALITIES are a part, as it were, of the great metropolis ex- tendipg into another county, and they are excluded from the city’s jurisdiction not by any natural governmental boundary, but by an artificial one. The Harlem River, which once satisfactorily indi- cated the governmental limit in that direction as a dividing stream, has now become the most inter- esting subject of development in our metrepolitan system. Our parks and boulevards and palaces are the pride and delight of the city, but they are not self-supporting, Their cost and maintenance must be defrayed from its trade and commerce. When we cast our eyes towards the shore of a sis- ter State and there behold os A FOREST OF BLENDED MASTS AND SPIRES, standing as monuments of the improvidence and inertness with which the public affairs of the city have of late been conducted, we are sensibly ad- monished that a revival of the wise and liberal een of municipal enterprise which established the prosperity now enjoyed 1s our interest as well as our duty, With this conviction thoroughiy fixed the minds of our citizens fully concur in the necessity of supplementing their present business facilities by the present improvement of both shores of Harlem River and the periecting of its chau through to the Hudson. But it is evident ry UNDER A SINGLE MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY only can this improvement be successfully accom- plished. Already have the members of the West- chester County Board of Supervisors, represeut- ing the agricultural towns beyond the annexation district, succeeded in passing resolutions in oppo- sition to the views and interests of our nearer neighbors “over the bridge,” instructing the Sena- tor and members of Assembly representing that county in the Legislature of the State to vote tor the repeal of all laws providing for bridges or tun- nels to be constructed over or under Harlem River, This action ef the Supervisors of THE AGRICULTURAL TOWNS OF WESTCHESTER couNTY reveals the situation as it actually exists, They do not sympathise with the improvement of the Harlem River so long as their pockets are to con- tribute towards it to the extent of a dollar, while, on the other hand, the town to be annexed, pos- sessing, as it does the water front of its further shore, bears with the city a conimon interest in the matter, and it isevident that it must share with the city a common destiny respecting it. Moreover, eur citizens fully appreciate the fact that the inhabitants of these irlendly towns are mostly their former neighbors and fellow citizens, and that many of them are yet doing business and paying taxes largely within the city’s present boundaries. Without otner aid, and by means of local taxation and assessments, they have extended over their terri- tories aa organizations, with streets, ave- nues and bofflevards well lighted and regulated, presenting, in the aggregate, the attributes of ‘‘no mean city.” Following THE RISE OF VALUES, as already exemplified in the city’s progress, the annexation and consequent improvement of those sections will, no doubt, enhance the value of Har- lem real estate as rapidly as Harlem and Yorkville, when emerging from their village conditions, en- hanced values in the city below them. And, with the confident assurance ‘that the towns to be an- nexed will, through their own enhancement and in business reciprocity, make ample compensation in return, the city cheerfully gives its approval to the measure. The relative merits or demerits, as the case may be, of the TWO SYSTEMS OF MAKING AWARDS AND ASSESSMENTS in street openings and jmprovements, as ex- emplified in the two reports lately filed ine the Department of Public Works by the Commis- sioners for opening the new drive trom 156th street to Inwood street on the one hand and the Commissioners for widening the Kingsbridge road from 156th street to Spuyten Duyvil creek on the other, forms a topic of lively interest and con- versation among the property-owners interested in general and the real estate operators in Pine street in particular, We find that THE KINGSBRIDGE ROAD COMMISSIONERS are accused of partiality and favoritism in their awards; but this may arise from each individual dada -holder thinking (as they always do) that is especial property is worth far more than his neighbors, The Lives 4 point made against them is in the mode of Jay ing the assessments, which, apart from its injustice, is by many considered to be illegal. In laying the assessments for this improvement the Commissioners have first assessed each lot on the line at a definite fixed sum ($280, we believe), 80 that a party owning a lot at the lower end, worth $4,000, only pays seven per cent of its value, while the holder of a similar lot at the upper end, worth 1,000, pays twenty-eight per cent or its value. 18 80 manifestly unjust and unequitable that it is not to be wondered at if it meets with the moxt strenuous opposition. Then, again, they have extended their area of assessment, as is com- monly done, over too large @ space, assess- ing lots, for instance, on and east of Tenth avenue, which can hardly be said to be benefited by the improvement, inasmuch as this avenue is the natural outlet to the city. Aresident on this avenue would have no more idea of driving over to the Kingsbridge road tocome to the city than a citizen on the last named thoroughfare wouid think of coming to the Tenth avenue for a similar purpose. The assess- ment is also extended to 145th street, half a mile south of the COMMENCEMENT OF THE IMPROVEMENT, and the residents within that area cannot possibly be benefited thereby, except in a general way as the whole city is enhanced, and as they have to bear their general proportion of what jaid (one-half) upon the city at large, they feel that they have a right to compiain. The whole system of overlap- ping, and interlacing assessments of this kind 18 improper and unjust. ‘he Commissioners for the NEW DRIVE, OR NORTHERN BOULEVARD, divided the whole line of improvement under their char; into sections of 50,000 square feet, or 500 linear feet; then es @ maximum value at the lower end and a minimum rate for the upper end, they obtained a regular ratio of decrease for each section, of which there were twenty- pa or thirty; then calculating the area falling within each section as it belonged to every owner, they multiplied the number of square feet be- longing to him by the rates of value per square foot belonging to that section, and the amount made by ye award, even to tle fractional part of a cent. LEVYING THE ASSESSMENTS one half, as in the other case, was laid on the city, and the other’ half of each section in detail was taxed upon the property fronting or bordering on that parti- cular section, 80 that the parties assessed paid in proportion to the awards made for that section, thosereceiving most paying most, those receiving less paying less. The area of assessment was kept within the line of the improvement as far as the two ends were concerned, namely, by a line bound- edon the west by the Hudson River and en the east, by a line as near as could be midway between the Drive and the Kingsbriage road, This MODE OF MAKING THE AWARDS AND ASSESSMENTS required a [rc deal of close calculation, espect- ally as the line of the Drive is very tortuous, and the lines of property cut it into many curious shapes, involving calculations of the area ef Pe ea parabolas and other mathemat ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 4 ; street, on Sunday, March.
