In ' Now York city the late Moses Taylor paid a larger personal tax than any other person in the city. He paid on an assessed p?rsonal valuation of $1,300,000, which is the surn assessed to his widow. W. II.Vanderbilt swore off all his personal tax, but afterward came o to the tax tlico and said that to satisfy "public e.amor" he would voluntarily pay a personal tax on a vuluation of f1,0 )0,000. Jay Gould pays on only - 10o,000. The James Lenox estate pays a on $1,000,000 person 1, tho Astors on 8',000.000, Mrs. E. 1). Morgan on t $1,000 000, Mrs. A. T. Stewart on $500.00'1 and Miss Catlerine L. Wolfe on $100,000. Thero is a decreaso each o year in the number of persons who par It taxes. Last year only 11,666 personi t pata on personal estate and the mmber will probably be less this year. In 1880 t the number was 14.764.
