TAX ASSESSMENT. im | Admits to Mill Committee That Strange Methods Are in Use Cqmemennenems TELLS OF GUESS WorK.! | — i Calls Personal Property Tax, a6 li Stands, Absurd and Broken Down lawson Purdy, President of the} New York City Mourad of Tax Com Mission, denounced the personal prop 'y (85 as abeurd, broken down and “internally unequal* to the Mille Lax Islative Committee lay and told of} the guesswork method of its assexs. | ments Hut he refused to reveal the @eoret sources of information on Which the board jacked up the assess ments of many millionaires. “The information eame from al Purdy when pr 4 reliable source, furninhed on condition that the source should not be rev Otherwise it would not @iven. The board believed it tiffed in taking the inf the conditi ns laid down. It came to us very late nh fact too late to be of full service.” Again when quostioned as to the Feasons for jacking up personal prop erty assessments this year to $4,000,- 000,000 Purdy was evasive in reply- in, It was the instigation of a new thought, a change of policy to try another way.” * But as to the methods used, the hit or miss putting down of names from the directory and tho immunity grant- ed to persons not living in fashion- able districts, the President of the Tax Board was very frank in his tes- timony as he enumerated the classes. “The general scheme In force,” he sald, s been to get names of per- sons who might be lable from varl- ous sources, some of them reliable and some unreliable, One Is to search all wiles admitted to probate in the five counties composing the city and also in adjoining counties as far as Albany to get names and addresses of executors. It is the practice to assess executors for amounts larger that the aniount of the estate will be foreed to go under declare the real value. “Then we assess tho logatees, too, It may look absurd to assess both Bo itis. But b and be distributed before tax day, so we put down both and let one or the other swear off think, our most ghoulish source. “The infernal law can never bemade equal and the assessment of executors its most infernal inequalities.” Purdy detatled the methods used in taxing personal property of corpora- tions by tracing them through incor- poration papers and certificates of co- partnership. There are certain blind rules of the amount to assess against corporations and co-partners designed for the purpose of bringing represen. tatives: fore the commission under oath to testify as to thelr actual prop- i ee these methods," continued Mr. Purdy, “we must resort to the cetty directory, and the telephone book for names and addresses. “We caution the men to be careful about non-residents, and if the diree- tory is a good one, and I am happ: to say this year’s issue is very 1. we don’t make many mistakes as to persons residing out of town or as to Porm wheer wealthy people are not Uke to live, ACKER, MERRALL & CONDIT sx COMPANY Imported Jam 19 ¢ sr Robertson's Strawberry or Raspberry Opportunity te buy economically 1880 AT ALL OUR STORES 7 found articles ade *! a ie fT the World will te listed at The World's Informa- tion Bureau, Pulltscr Bui Arcoda, Park Hew Worle World's Harlem Off West, 180 on” aba Wastings i 6 fon Bt, Brooklyn, for 30 aye feliowing the printiag of o they lai fm terror of the stigma of spinterhood, Gatting down vo bras: tacks THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER the ‘ t fn, marriag a tra Th lecting 0 Iie partner, Matrimony is not the be-all and end-all of the Sore ee mares wrt {* + Gt “Monee tor ones ae Prue" “Pon € ween = ‘ v0 \ a nau rrave myvleU a ( | It’s the Up-to-Date Girl, With Wits Sharpened by a Business Career and Her Contact With “All Sorts and Conditions of Men, Who Is Dissatisfied With Prospect of Consolation Prize Husband. several times taken up the question of how ah | today—of whether he waits to make ber his w ebildren, her. open.
