[For the Philadelphia Evening
LOCAL ASSESAKEIIITS.
In the Butaarrix of yesterday (26th inst.)
there appeared a communication apparently
on the sqject of our assessments, but
,evi
dently an underhanded and.unfaie attack
on the Board of Revision of Taxes. The
author styles himself "Fair Play." - He
had better have adopted the Mtn:tent "Com
missioners' Friend," and then the /public
could judge of the source-from which it
emanated.
He states some facts in his communication
in :regard to the inequalities of our assess
ments and their origin, which are true, and
'were brought to • light by the very Board
- which he assumes has done solittle ; 'hut in
regard to the mode of correcting this evil
and the time in which it can be done, he dis
plays less information than is possessed by
the "majority of our citizens"' whom he
attempts to enlighten:
Now what are the facts in this case ? In
the first place it may be proper~ to remark
that the assessments of the real estate of the
City of Philadelphia are, and have been
since the consolidation of the city, very
unequal. Before consolidation the' city
proper had one rate of assessment and, the
districts and townships had each different
rates. After the consolidation of the city
the assessments in the ward covering these
respective localities were continued, and
being at various rates of value and subject
to one rate of tax, it is and has been mani
festly unjust. But whilst this is true of the dif
ference in the average rate of the assessment
of wards, it is also a fact that within wards
and every ward of the city, there are nume
rous and great inequalities. The work of
coireoting this should have been com
menced many years ago.
The city becoming embarrassed through
the large - expenditures necessary during the
war, and the increased cost of maintaining
the municipal government, the City Coun
cils asked the Legislature to create a per
manent Board of Revision, which was dtme
in March, 1865. This law, whilst well in
tended, did not give the Board all the
powers necessary. It created a Board with
revisory powers• after the assessments were
returned by the assessors, but left the books
ii and the issuing of the Precept to the asses
, sors in the hands of the City Commis
sioners.
Under this law the Cottrt appointed the
two members authorized by the act, but the
City Commissioners then in office so suc
cessfully resisted them in their efforts to
discharge the duties of their appointment,
that although appointed in May, 1865, it was
not until November of that year, that they
were enabled to obtain access to the room
provided by Councils for thair sitting, and
even then the books containing the asses
sors' returns were denied them until pro
-cured through the intervention of the Court.
It was then too late to do anything of im
' portance toward a general revision for 1866.
After two or three weeks inspection, they
were obliged to give the books - back t) - the
Commissioners for the purpose of having
the tax duplicates made for the Receiver of
Taxes. Before these duplicates were opened,
however, they added more than one million
five hut:tired. thousand dollars to the real
estate valuation of 1866.
A thorough and laborious examination of
the assessments convinced the Board that
the inequalities in the valuations were so
great and so universal, and the description
of the properties on the books so imperfect,
that the first step toward a general and tho
rough revision must be a new assessment
made upon one uniform per tentage of
value, and upon proper instruction to the
assessors as to their duty in making the as
sessments and properly describing the pro
perty returned.
Pirst—Becausefin:the present condition of
the returns on the Assessor's books it would
be utterly impossible for a Central Board to
revise a tithe of the two hundred thousand
separate properties and place a correct valu
ation on them in any one year.
Second—Valuations of property raised by
the Board must be so advanced on the
books, after the return made by the Asses
sors in August, and before they are dupli
cated for the ensuing year, which allows
but about two months' time for correcting
the entire Twenty-six wards. It can not
satisfactorily be done after citizens have
commenced paying their taxes in January.
Third—Many properties have been here
tofore returned by the assessors in one as
sessment, embracing houses and lots of dif
ferent owners and values, which must first
be separated.
Fourth—Because the description of the
size of properties on the books returned by
the assessors (in some Wards) is so inaccu
rate as to be utterly unreliable. and in some
cases the size of the lot and building are not
given at all; so that, except by a personal
Linspection or measurement of each pro.'
perty, no correct valuation can be placed
• on it.
These are some of the reasons that led the
Board to the conclusion above stated, and
in order that a new assessment might be
made without delay, and before the triennial
year, itis well known that they asked the
Legislature to so alter the law that a new
assessment could be had in 1866, under their
supervision. It failed, and we are now
obliged to wait until 1867, the year of the
triennial assessment.
Now, one word as to what the Board has
done during the present year:
They have been in daily session-since No
vember last, correcting the various errors
on the books and duplicates, and enabling
citizens, without the former inconvenience,
to ay their taxes.
Clearing the books of duplicate assess
ments, of which large numbers have hereto
fore been returned from year to year.
Assessing properties which have been
-omitted in the return - of the Assessor and',
raising the valuation of others.. The addi
tion to the assessed value of the real estate
wince the Board came into existence is more
than four millions of dollars over and ahove
:all reductions. The figures given by "Fair
Play," are not accurate; for the enumera
tion made- by the Commissioners Wit year ,
- contained exempt properties in the agregate,
amounting to Several millions.. This year
they have not been counted.
Ascertaining as far as they can the correct
-dimensions of each property. Where
.a
reduction was proper and just, granting it..
The reductions of valuations have been
made with great Caution, and only when
justice 'to the citizen demanded it. The
members of the Board were sensible of the
fact that what the city needed most at the
present time, was an increage of its income,
and the aggregate reductions made during
the present year have not been one-fifth the
/amount made in former years and under
1- the old system. In some cases acted - upott
by the Board, properties were valued at'
twenty-five and fifty per cent. more than
their- real - value, as ascertained by a fair
public, sale after due notice. These oases
occur principally in the wards of the old
- city proper, and until we can obtain an
assessment at one 111:11 form rate of valuation,
does ''Fair Play" insist that such owners
shall have:no relief in the intervening time?
In other cases, more frequeht, assessments
have been made, either through error in
judgment as to the correct value, or in a
mistake as to the size of the property, and
are valued far above neighboring properties,
and in such cases relief ought in justice
to the owners be granted, and has been.
If "Fair. Play" had ever owned any real
estsite, valued 25 or. 50 per cent. above the
average valuation of the Ward in which it'
was situate, we have no doubt that he
would be among the first to demand relief.
The man who is most unjust to others is
always first to complain of injustice to
himself.
It will be useless to enter more in detail in
this communication in answer to an unwar
rantable attack upon those who have been
striving to do their duty faithfully in a
Position of great responsibility and difß•
oulty. Iferetofore,in the performance of
their duties, they haVe met with every
Obstacle which "Fair Plays' " friends, the
"old" Commissioners ; could put in 'their
way. To correct the aksessments of a city
as large as Philadelphia, is not the work lof
a month, nor a Year; but if "Fair Play" will
pay a visit to the Office of. the Board and
divest his mind of the prejadide imbibed
from his old-associatw, he will See , gentle
Men intelligently, earnestly and. honestly
at work; doing all'that oan be'donein the

At the recent meeting of the General Con
ference of the. Methodist Protestant Church,
Rev. George Brown, D. D., Rev. Alexander
Clark and .Rev. A.R. Bassett were chosen
a committee to write a history of the Meth
odist Protestant Church. This fiction was
bad in view of the fact that the denomina
tion, by adopting the basis of union with the
Wesleyan Methodist Church, and assuming
the new title of "The Methodist Church,"
virtually becomes a new organization.
Ministers and others having facts or dm:ti
t:dents pertaining- to the history of the
Methodist Protestant Church will farther

cating the same to any member of the Com
mittee.
The Hon.ThomasH.Baird died on Thurs

city, in the seventy-ninth yeax of his age.
The deceased was a gentleman of cultivaed
intellect and a writer of remarkable force
and ability. He held the position of Judge
of the Common Pleas of Washington county
for a number of years, and was an able and
accomplished jurist.
Albert Bierstadt was married in Water
ville, on the 21st inst., to Rosalie Osbern of
this city. Mr. Bierstadt has just erected
at Irvington a residence costing 00,000, and
commanding one of the finest views of the -
Hudson. Itis really a studio with house
attached. The studio is 80 feet in length,
with walls 34 feet high, galleries, for art
studies, and lovely views from its windows.
Mr. Bierstadt's "Storm on the Rocky
Mountains" 'goes to the Exposition. He
is now engaged upon a new piece, with
mountains,,plains and sunset glow, entitled
"Emigrants Crossing the Plains." He has
nearly completed a bird's eye view of Yose
mite Valley—larger than any of his previous
pictures. It is painted to fill an order given
three years ago,by Le Grand Lockwood,
Esq., of this city. Mr. Bierstadt's Rocky
Mountains was bought by Sir Morton Peto
for e 20,000, and it will require the artist four
or fiveyears to fill his_ present orders. In
his case et least, Art proves remunerative.
