KLEVATED ROAD TAXATION.
PRESIDENT BARKER REPLIES TO GEOROB
J. GOULD.
HK DENIES THAT THEBE Bl AMI'IHIIM PKRSON'AL
IX THE a-BaaWaWUaTI BI THE COM
MUBIHNim
The Increaae of the aaaeaaed realty valuatlon af
the Manhattan Klevated Railroad from 113,1*4,700
last year to J27.219.O0O for 1S% Is to be bltterly fought
by the Goulds. George J (Jould, accordlng to "The
Herald" of Sunday, made this statement:
Most certalnly I shall llght this Jncreased aaaeaa
ment; lt is unlawful and unjust: out of all propor
tion In eomparison wlth the rat" assessed agalnat
other New-York companies. It Is a personal attack
on me; it is a contlnuatlon of the unfalr treatment
whlch eauaad m* to have New-York. The Tax
Commlssioners have been trying to find out every
corporatlon I am conneote.l wlth, that they may pur
sue almilar methods ln each case. I knew tnre*
weeks before It was announced. through a frlend ln
the Aasessors' offlce, that thls Increased aasessment
was to be made. I nm wllllng to b.-ar my Juat pro
portlon of personal taxes, and that any corporation
ln whlch I am interested shall be assessed aa hlgh
proportlonately aa any other corporation, but I do
not eare to submlt. to taxatlon out of all proportlon
to what I conulder Just.
When the attention of Prealdent Barker. of th*
Tax Department. was called to the aubject yeater?
day, he sald:
"I have read the statement whlch has been attrlb
uted to Mr. Gould. I ihlnk he magn.ries hla lmpor
tance when he says that the Increaae ln the aaaeaaed
valuation of the Manhattan Klevated Railroad ta a
personal attack' on him. I was under the impre8
slon that I made that fact qulte clear to hls counael
when he was recantly before the Tax Commlaaloner*
for the purpose of the re-assessm.-nt of the Manhat?
tan Klevated Railroad.
"When Mr. Could says that ?tbe Tax Commlss'.on
ers have been trying to flnd out ev-ry corporation
that h>- Is conneeted wlth that they may pursue alm?
ilar methods ln aach ea**,' he makes an uneonscloua
admlsaion, which, at thls particular time, Is edtfy
Ing. He appaara to have demonstrat,.l that hls no
tion of a cltlzen's duty Is that he shouid only pay
tax. s on proporty he may be caught wlth, and that
the Tax Commissioti.-rs are engaged ln something
dtereputable if they trjr to flnd out' what he Justiy
owes the CltJT.
"Xon<- of us are Infallible. as Mr. (Jould show* ln
this , ase, for what he says la not correct. and. ln
fact, It la wlthout justitieatuin. It may be that he
has be.-n PAlBlad by Ma fri*BaV who. he says, ga\e
hlm advanced Informatlon. It is something of a
tradltlon ln the Tax Department that Ihe Goulds
nhV* for years bad facillties in this respe.-t, and
th.-re la no doubt that the llne of communicatlon to
whlch h<- refers la stlll in work.ng order. Mr. Gould
ls rjuite WaHcOBM to all the Informatlon he may get?
partb uiarly that part wh.ch is the truth.
"I have had seven differ.-nt assoclate Commlssion?
ers since I cmne Into the Tax Department, and
whlle they were Tax Commlssioners there never
was other than tinanlmous BCttOfl regarding tax?
atlon of the Goulds: oooacqumtijr Mr. Gould's 'per
sonal atta.-k' must have been the comblne.l work of
atght Comm?aatonara
"At the Tax Department we have heard rumora of
thls personal attack' before, but have glven no hee.l?
to its abaurdlty."
Prcstdent Barker, being asked how lt v.aa that
Jay Gould durlng his Ufecm* eacapad personal
taxatlon, some years entii<?!>-, and In oth^r y-ai a
belng held at a comparatively small amount r>
