Hen. FranSlln A. Coles. District Attorney,

Dear Sir: Bone time ego I deeienattd
The Hon. Nathaniel A. Elsberg to resent

Electric Company to review the special
Snscbise tax assessment made by the
Eoard cf Tax Commissioners in the town of
Hempstead. Nassau County. N. Y. for the
>ears IPOS and 1909. Upon the investigation
of these cases It developed that th*> relator
vaclfl give evidence upon the trial that real
yrcperty in the town of Hempstead is as
ms*d by the local assessors at from 10 to
3S T><rr **ent of it? full value. I am informed
fhsVMr. Elsb«rg could not find among the
ritl estate dealers of that town or the as
£••- - themselves any one who would tos
rfy that the assessments made bore much,
if 3T!~. higher relation to the. actual ralue
*f the «-ea! ropert The result was that
t-c v. tr* obliged to *«>ttle the assessments
mentioned at' STU per cent for the year
3908. and S^ per cent of the assessment for
•«.' rear ''^'. These settlements were cer
tainly favorable to the town, in view of the
Isct that real property is assessed so low.
I have been informed by Mr Elsberg that
the?* farts had been communicated to th«
to^-n board by him before th« settles
■"a? made, and that approval of th* settle
ment -rvas given by resolution -of the town
bcarti cf the town Of Hempstead.
Tnder the law it is the duty of the as
f-^ssors to assess real property at its full
' alue. By subdivision 3of Section a*» of the
'■ensolidated tax law of 1209. it is made the
duty of tho assessors to assess real prop
vffy at its full value, and by Section 3s the
teeiElature ha? prescribed the oath for the
verification cf each tax roll, as follows: . '

in the city of New York. After looking over
I the large amount of work to >..-. ,],,, . in the
\ office, tho Attorney •■ -rr V „\ finally decided
| that th* collection of these back franchises,
j covering a period of nine year&, was his
mogt MM) duty. But, on.eonsUlerins the
.task, he found lie »m beset with almost
j djscourajrinz otssbtacles. The millions of
- taxes were tied up in a snarl of intricate
litieation. Following- their unsuccessful as
saults on th« validity of tha franchise tax
law in th» courts, the corporations resorted
j to the practice of suing out -writs of ocr-
Uorarl to review the assessments of the
ctat« board-. Son* of these writs w-rfe pro-
J cured In an honest endeavor to have the
a««*smer:ts reduced, but many of the suits
} were besrun merely for the sake of delay.
J Under the law as' It "existed then theEe ras*s
j were sent to referees for trial. Three thous
and ef such suits were pending; before ref
j erees. It was further discovered that all
the*e cases were pending in the Albany
County Supreme Court, another fact that
would tend to block the wheels of justice.
;It was finally decided that if these suits
were left In the hands of the referees they
■ would draff alone at such a elott pace that
| it would be impossible to collect any con
| siderable amount of the taxes in a short
term of two years.
To hurry matters along- the Attorney Gen
era' drafted and had enacted an amend
; ment to the tax law providing that the
' venue of these cases be changed from Al
bany County to the various districts where
the assessed franchises were- located. The
amendment also gave th* Attorney General
the cower to have the orders of refer
ences vacated and have the whole srrist of
suit? tried at special terms of court desig
nated by the Governor in various parts of
the state. The result of this action en the
part of the Attorney General was electric
Havln«r nothlne else to do. the justices sit
tine tn these special terms could dispose of
the franchise tax cases in a very short
time. Immediately many of the corpora
tions came forward with propositions for
settlement of their taxes. Sorn* paid up
without delay, while a few prepared for
trial for effect, but finally settled before
an; testimony was taken
Revenue Will Grow Annually.
Attorney General O'Maliey estimated
that the Ford franchise law -'ill: in trie fut
ure net Ok* state annually a revenue of
about 59,000.000. A* the number er>d value
of franchises to be taxed increase, this
amount vill grow from. to year. Never
was the validity' of a. law so persistently
assailed in the courts. Millions in counsel
fees were expended, and the ablest lawyers
in the state were enlisted in the endeavor
of the corporations to » nave the law nullified
As a result of th© suits instituted-, Om taxes
due the state were so effectively tied up at
on? time that the most sanguine sponsors
of the law began to despair of ever seeing
any considerable amount actually collected.
In fact, a former Governor, convinced of
the impracticability of the act, advocated
its repeal.
The remarkable fight made by the cor
porations on the validity of this law has
liever been summed up. It began as soon
as the bill was introduced in the Legislature
by Senator Ford in the spring of 1899. Ow
ing to a tremendous public sentiment in its
favor, however, it passed both, house?. Gov
ernor Roosevelt had sent two special mes
sages (a the Assembly In its. favor. At the
hearing- before the. Governor the opponents
of the measure argued that the bill was
imperfect and should be amended In several
respects. The Governor called a special
session of the Legislature. It was argued
that to leave the power of assessment in
the hands of the local assessors, as provid
ed In the Ford bill, would be unjust, be
cause a special franchise, could not be fair
ly -. aru«"<l by men who were not. exports.
They maintained that the assessments
should be mao> by a state board of ex
perts. The result of the special ■ealon'^M
that dn bill was amended in two important
respects. (It the power of assessment was
placed in the State Board of Tax Commis
sioners, and (2>. th« corporations were per
mitted to deduct f'-fon.i their franchise taxes
all' other sums paid in the nature of a tax.
In this form the bill became a law. :■
Lustily a* th«» corporations cried out for
a. board of experts to value their franchises,
when they got their amendment providing
for a state board they made use of their
own amendment to attack the validity tA
the law. They argued that the law-sraa
now invalid because it violated the home
rule provision of the state constitution. A
great many test cwses w^re- brought to in
validate the law.
The Grounds of Attack.
A f*w of the grounds of attack were :
L That it violated the home rule pro
vision of the etate constitution.
2. That !t violated the provision of the
federal Constitution forbidding any state
to pass a law impairing the obligations of
contracts. ,
2. That the act mi impracticable, and
therefore a nullity, because a special ran
chise had no ascertalnable value, beyond the
value of Che tangible property in- connec
tion with it. ■' '■'.} : .

money was to be applied.
5. That the assessments' were illegal be
, . ■ ■ .- c
(a) All the special franchises of a corpo
ration were valued by the state board in
the aggregate. instead of separately.
(b> The state board did not adopt any
fixed rule or method in its valuations.
<c> The board refused to give the owners
of the franchisee assessed a proper hear
ing in court by telling them by what rule
or theory the valuations were reached.
(di The owners of the franchises did. not
have due process of law.
<<?» Th-i franchises were assessed at their
true and full value, whereas the real «etate
in the same locality v.here the franchises
were located was assessed at only a certain
percentage of its full value.
- On th* first ground th© Court of Appeals
held it constitutional. On the second the
litigation v.as carried to the Supreme Court
of the United States, with the same result.
The only objection on -which the corpora
tions have ■won out so far is the last. It
is now the law that special franchises, be
ing defined by law as real estate, must be
assessed at the same percentage of their
true value »- the. real estate in th* same
locality.

MANY OARSMEN OUT
Crews Rounding Into Form for
Memorial Day Regatta.
The cloudy day and southeast wind of
yesterday failed to cause any decrease in
j the number of oarsmen' out along the Har
i lem River. With the Harlem regatta only
! one week off. every man entered is work-
I ins: hard to put the finishing touches to his
form and speed.
The Metropolitan and Harlem Rowing
clubs were represented by the largest
number of oarsmen The Blue and White
was carried by a junior centipede, junior
j octuple, intermediate and . senior double.
The, single flotilla consisted of Harry Mc
•"'utcheon, Will McCullum and Johnny
Hughes. The latter is roovfaer faster at the
present than at any other time during his
' career, and should prove to be a formidable
j factor in the junior single event.
Jack Nagle, the captain of the Harlem
club, announced these entries in the Har

J. J. Lyons, bow; E. H. Wagner, 2; H.

and H. Evans, stroke, will also race. These
boys are going at top speed, and only re
cently rowed within fire, second of the j
course record. Fuessel and Shepherd will j
row in the senior doubles, and from, pres
ent indications should have little trouble
In winning.
The Blue and White will be well repre
