FALLS ON THE RENT PAYERS
Wage Earners
Must Foot Bill Show Little Inter
est in Huge? 1921 Expenditures
Landlords to Pass Along Burden.
This article, dealing with the abnormal budget of tho City of New
York for the year 1921,, lo add rowed to tho reut-payerl
It is tlmo tho runt-payer camo to n realization of the fact that 85
per cent, of tho taxes of thin olty comes out of tho pocuots of Uie people
who pay ront.
Tho rent-payer thus far has manlfontod only slight interest In a
budget for 1921, which Is $70,000,000 In excean of the budget for 1920.
Landlords and real-estate owners have rained the only forr'li!
objections to tho tai-rato Increase, The rcnt-payr-r Is n;. .u:uiy of
tbe opinion that he la not interested--1 '.i a u I.. ..uastd tax will tall
on the landlord. . ,
Dut the landlord as the monoy for bis Uxea from his tenants.
Under the law he Is entitled to a reasonable return on hi Investment,
The tenant, in reason, cannot expect tho landlord to payjneroaend
taxes out of his own pocket and, certainly, tho landlord has no inten
tion of doing so.
THK TKJfAST PAYS.
Every rent-payor in Greater New York should read and digest and
remember thla:
IXCIIKSKI) TAXKS 3rEA- INCIHUSKO ItKXTALS.
JuU at thla time, whon rentals have mounted to an oppressive
figure, tho city is preparing to expend $343,000,000 as the cost of Gov
ernment and pass up $38,000,000 In addition to the Legislature, which
will formulate legislation by authority of which the taxpayers will
eventually be mulcted of that amount too.
In ordor to be able to raise more money to spend the City Gov
ernment has raised the assessed valuation of real estate for purpoios
of taxation in 1021 in the City of New York to (10,238,000,310.
Thla in an Increase in assessed valuation of (1,243,732,949 over
1920.
The ConirtJtutlon allows the city to collect for local taxation pur
posoA 2 per cent, of the asBOMed valuation of Toal Mtate.
Under the provisions of the law the city Is empowered to collect
in taxes next yoar, In excess of tho collections of 1920, 2 per cent, of
11,243,782,946, or $24,874,068.
Thlr sum Is to bo exacted from landlords, DUT THM TENANTS
AIIE GOING TO IlErMnunSE THK LANDLORDS tn Increased rentals.
Every rent-payer In the city will be affected according to hla
ability to pay.
Hero is a concrete example of how the increased taxation works
out to the damage of the tenant' resources.
A certafn west sldo apartment house thousands of similar cases
might be quoted In valued for taxation purposes this year at $950,
000. Tho houso shelters seventy-two tenants.
For taxaUon purposes in 1921 this house is Tnlued at $1,180,000.
On a valuation of 1950,000 at a taxation rate of $2.48 per (100 '
this year's figure the landlord paid In taxes to the olty the sum of
H23.G60,
wnicn tie corjECTEi) nt(m the TEju.vrs.
On a valuation of $1,150,000 at a taxation rate of $2.88 per $100,
which Is approximately what the rato will be In 1921, tho landlord will
pay In tax re to the city the sum of $32,775,
WHICH HE WILL COLLECT FROM THE TT.XASTS.
His Increase in taxation for the yoar 1921 will amount to $0,315.
This sum, dlvidod pro rata among the anvnnty-two tenant, will
take from each tho sum of $129 for the year or, practically, $11 a
month.
The rentals In thin house avenge $1,800 a year.
On the basis of IiIh Increased Hsaeaamwit alone tiie landlord will
be Justified In raising the rent of tmeh of his termnU 7 per cent.
No tax imponed In recent yaara has mused so wnoh grumbling
arid restmrmont aa the State income tax.
A man earning $7,500 a year Is Justified, according to economlnU,
In paying $1,800 u year for rent.
Tnkn a $7,600 a ywir man In the apartment house doaorlbed above.
He Is married and paya a Htatn Income tax of 1 per cent, on $7,500
less $2,000 exemption, or $55 a year, und hla cries of protwt eun be
