NO CHANGE
Revenue Ordinance floes Not
ChmgeTaxa'iou Method
Some peiple have possessed them
selves with the erroneous idea that the
revenue ordinance which was recently
pissed permits the railroad company,
the Moore Wharf Campany and the
water company to escape taxation for
the improvements on their real estate.
The ordinance provides for all
of the lands used by the railroad
company exclusively for its right of
way, including improvements on the
same, shall be assessed is a whole at so
much per mi:e. It provides that
wharves shall be assess* d as a whole
as real estate, and the same for water
wa'.ns and pipes.
These are provisions that were In
previous city ordinances and under
which the city council has acted for the
last four or five years. They antednte
the induction of the pre ent city council
in oTice. They are the same as is the
law generally elsewhere It is regarded
si the only practicable <vav of aesessing
the classes of property named.
It provided for the i-a.tiiig of im
provements but not for the ir separation
from the real estate. The reason for
that is that the chief value is in the
improv.-ments anc' the\ sre so merged
ir-to the real estate th it |to separate
th-m would be imposfible. The im
pn vera en ts are always taken into ac
count in fixing the value of the property
as a whole. For instance, remove the
the piling, planhingand supers' ructures
which go to make up Moore Wjiarf,
and what is there left of the real estate?
Take up ihe rails, remove the switches
at-d destoy the ties of the railroad aod
what is left of the value of its right of
way? The improvenj tits are all there
is to tl;em.
This provision of the ordinance
applies only to that portion of the rail
road property thai is used EXCLUSIVE
LY for righto! way. It dots not refer
to the office buildings, depots, shops'
buildings, roi'iid houses, coal bunkers,
or o her properties. They are assessed
just as 's the property of other people.
