Taxes of 1874,—

Outstanding, Dec. 31, 1874, ..... 13,077 49

Aggregate of unpaid taxes, .... $17,824 62

The amount accruing to the Commonwealth under the

operation of the law for the current year is as follows :

From GeneralList Corporations,—

Net amount assessed, ...... $1,312,128 45

Amount due to cities and towns, .... 984,839 15

Balance accruing to the Commonwealth: $327,289 30

From corporations under section eight, . . . 5,294 65

Total amount accruing to the Commonwealth, $332,583 95 1875. HOUSE—No. 125.

Of the amount oftax assessed the present year, the sum of $984,839.15 has been paid and will be payable under the terms of the law to the various cities and towns of the Com- monwealth. A table is appended, marked “ C,” giving the amounts to which each city or town is entitled. As usual, a distribution of that portion of the above amount which had been collected on the twenty-seventh day of November, was made and certified in season to be offset against the amounts due from the cities and towns on account of the state tax on the first of December.

The amount collected at that date was . . . $1,218,378 05 distributed, was 943,781 76

The amount retained was $274,596 29

The comparative valuation of the capital stock and real estate of corporations during the years 1873 and 1874 is as follows:

In 1873, $233,437,610 86 1874, 235,021,537 75

Excess of 1874, $1,583,926 89

The value of real estate and machinery,— In 1873, $156,200,129 00 1874, 166,712,730 08

Excess of 1874, $10,512,601 08

The aggregate excess on which a tax was laid,— In 1873, $90,938,561 07 1874, 84,775,750 50

Excess of 1873, $6,162,810 57

This result is due to the general depression in business which has prevailed during most of the year, and probable that an even more unfavorable result must be looked for next year. The tshrinkage in values will, however, affect TAX COMMISSIONER’S REPORT. [Feb. to some extent the value of the fixed property of corporations, as well as their stock, while the general tendency to a higher rate of taxation will tend to increase the amount of revenue derivable from this source. The year for which accounts are kept in this office is neces- sarily the year for purposes of taxation, commencing May first. The following table has been prepared to connect the accounts of this office with those of the reports of the Treas- urer and Auditor, which relate to the financial year, commencing with January first. The whole amount realized by the Commonwealth during the financial year ending December 31, 1874, has been :

From taxes of 1874,—

General list distributed, ..... $302,570 98

not distributed, ..... 15,923 32

General list, ..... $5,456 73

Mining list, ..... 3,368 28 8,825 01

Total amount realized, ..... $330,773 61

To harmonize this result with that which appears in the Treasurer’s Report, there should be added, —

The amount now in the treasury to be distributed

among the cities and towns, .... $37,179 57 Amount belonging to cities and towns on account of the distribution in November, not called for

December 31, 1874, ...... 116 76

collections of previous years, . $173,057 52

. Amounts brought forward, $173,057 52 $868,069 94

Amount advanced to towns on ac-

count of equalization of claims, . 212 57 Taxes under section eight, reported in the Treasurer’s books sepa- rately, 6,822 58 — 180,092 67

Treasury balance...... $187,977 27

By comparing this year’s report with last, it will be seen that, while the apparent balance to the credit of the law is much smaller than last, the actual net revenue realized by the Commonwealth, the present year, is $330,773.61 against $326,800.34 realized last year. This apparent discrepancy is explained by the fact that considerable collections were made in 1873, quite up to the close of December, which could not be paid over till the beginning of 1874. Thus the amount in the treasury due cities and towns, January 1, 1874, was $181,861.80 against $37,179.57 so remaining, January 1, 1875. The collections have been made with remarkable promptness the present year,—a somewhat noticeable matter, in view of the dullness of business.

Whole amount paid by Coal, Mining, Quarrying and Oil Companies during the year ending December 31, 1874, is as follows:

Taxes of 1870, .... $22 32

of 1871, .... 256 74

The whole number of Massachusetts corporations and charters to which my attention has been

directed the present year, is . . . . 1,319 Of this number 14 have been dissolved by the courts or are in process of dissolution, and 105 new corporations have been chartered or organized, leaving as the number of corporations and

charters to be reported, December 81, 1874, . 1,305

The authorized net increase of capital in the State during the year is as follows ;

Authorized by special Act,—

New corporations, ...... $3,775,000 00

Under chapter 224, Acts of 1870,— Corporations under section 11 and amendments thereof (93), 5,920,360 00 Certificates of increase of capital by 25 companies under section 34, 1,214,600 00

$10,909,960 00 Certificates of reduction of capital under section 35 of same Act (12), $1,157,800 00 Dissolutions by the supreme judi-

cial court, or in process, . . 1,521,850 00 2,679,650 00

Net increase, ...... $8,230,310 00

The Board of Appeal was constituted by the appointment of the Hou. George H. Whitney, of the council, to serve with the Treasurer and Auditor. The Board organized November 13, 1874, by the choice of the Hou. Charles Eudicott as chairman, when the first session was held. Since that time fifty-two appeals by corporations have been heard, with the results indicated in the accompany- ing; table. There have been some appeals by towns, in nearly all of which the action of the Board was simply to sanction a transfer 1875.1 HOUSE—No. 125 11 of credits from one town to another where all parties were agreed, and the parties for whose stock credit was claimed were shown to be residents of the appellant towns.

* Bank Tax Act. The opinion expressed last year, that further acquaintance with the operation of this law would justify its provisions, seems to have been entirely warranted by the experience of the year. Disagreements have been fewer, the banks have generally taken a liberal and reasonable course, to the apparent satisfaction both of their stockholders and the officers charged with the execution of the law. A large majority of the banks, I am informed, assume and pay the tax as one of the current expenses of the bank. This course, which is entirely justifiable, and has been pursued for years in other States, renders possible a great reduction of labor to the officers of the banks and to the local assessors and collectors of towns. No complaint has been made of the operation of the law, to my knowledge, during the past year; and in some cases, where injustice was done by extreme high rates in bank towns in previous years, it has been found possible to bring the rates more nearly to the average. In this respect, the law has a very beneficial indirect effect in its tendency to cause an equalization of valuation and taxable rates. TAX COMMISSIONER’S REPORT. Feb.

Whole amount of tax on bank shares assessed, . $1,746,823 39 Of which there was retained by towns on account of shares owned

by residents, .... $614,986 26 And there was paid into the treasury, 1,131,837 13 51,746,823 39

To savings institutions, . . . 397,171 43

To insurance companies, . . 28,963 01 To literary, scientific and charitable societies, 24,925 52 And in addition, there is due to cities and towns on account, not fully adjusted so as to admit of a cer-

tificate, ..... 2,300 20 Leaving as a balance for the Com-

monwealth, .... 217,419 42 51,131,837 13

Table D, annexed, shows the net corrected amount distributed to each city and town under the Act. Table E shows the amount collected in each city and town having a bank, on account of shares held out of such place.

Insurance Premium Tax. Under this law there has been assessed during the year:—

On account of tax of 1874,—

Upon agents, .... $144,134 16

companies, .... 22,776 71 —- $166,910 87

On account of tax of 1873,—

Upon agents, .... $1,759 84

companies, .... 77 54 1,837 38

Total assessment, ...... $168,748 25 1875.] HOUSE—No. 125.

The collections have been :

On account of tax of 1874,

From agents, .... $137,218 19

companies, .... 22,776 71 5159,994 90

On account of tax of 1873,—

From agents, .... $66,769 87

companies, .... 177 09 66,946 96

$226,941 86

To correspond with the treasury credit, there

must be added to the above amount,—

Tax of 1871, collected in 1874, . $6Bl 13

Tax on accident policies, . 27 78

Overcharge, ..... 1 05 709 96

Total collections, ...... $227,651 82

The amount uncollected, Jan. 1, 1875, was,—

On account of tax of 1874,—

From agents, . . . . $6,915 97

On account of tax of 1873,—

From agents, .... 1,926 44 58,842 41

Of the above amounts outs anding, unpaid, the larger portion will undoubtedly be collected early. A reduced revenue from this law was expected, but the amount is still large. If it should be still further reduced, as a consequence of an increase of business of our home companies, it would not be a source of regret.

Manufacturing Corporation Law. During the year the Commissioner has examined ten hundred and thirty-six certificates, of which one hundred and TAX COMMISSIONER’S REPORT. [Feb.

fifteen required a reexamination after errors had been corrected, and two were examined three times. Ninety-six of these were certificates of organization, of which ninety-three have had their certificates finally approved, leaving three that have not yet presented their papers for reexamination. Of the five disapproved in eighteen hundred and seventy-three, four have been approved, and one has abandoned its organization. The whole number of certificates presented and examined, including those presented as substitutes for certificates dis-

approved, is as follows :

Acts 1870, chapter 224, section 11, ..... 125

“ “ section 12, ..... 5

“ “ section 32, ..... 66

“ “ section 33, ..... 800

* “ “ section 34, ..... 27

“ section 35, ..... 12

Acts 1874, chapter 349, section 2, .... 1

Total, ...... 1,036

The ninety-three certificates approved under section eleven, chapter two hundred and twenty-four, Acts of eighteen hundred and seventy, include sixteen under additional Acts of eighteen hundred and seventy-four; namely, fourteen under chapter three hundred aud seventy-five, section four, and two under chapter one hundred aud sixty-five, section one.

Municipal Assets and Liabilities. Table F contains tabulated results of returns received from all the cities and towns in the State in substantially the same form as last year, with the difference, however, that the statement of causes for which the debt was incurred is given in fuller detail where it can be so given. In many cases the division cannot be made, especially in towns, as the proceeds of one loan may be applied to several subjects of expendi- ture. For reasons stated last year, a full statement of property is given, although much of it is property which must be had, though not very salable. 1875.] HOUSE—No. 125.

Steam-Boilers. Table G contains the result of returns under requirements of Acts of 1873, chapter 321, tabulated as last year. Twen- ty-six towns have failed to make return. The assessors of one town explain the incompleteness of their return as follows (omitting names) :

“ The two last named boilers are owned by J. C. & Co., and I called on T. G-. C., one of the owners and foreman of the mill, and he refused to answer any of the above questions and told me to tell you that it was none of your business, and I have been unable to find out anything more than we have answered.”

From the fact that the law imposes a duty upon the assessors of obtaining the information, and upon this office of tabu- lating and presenting it, I suppose it is considered of impor- tance to have it full and accurate. I recommend the passage of an Act imposing a penalty upon persons who refuse to give the required information. Such a provision is contained in the Act for taking a census, and would be serviceable in a case like that above referred to.

Exempted Property. Table H contains a tabulated statement of facts contained in the returns received under requirements of Acts of 1874, chapter 227. The towns of Melrose and Washington, though often requested, have failed to comply with the requirements of the law. State Valuation. Considerable work has been done in analyzing the valuation books, preparatory to an adjustment and equalization of the values of taxable property in the various municipalities of the Commonwealth. The result is to be reported to the next legislature, and is as yet in an incomplete condition.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, DANIEL A. GLEASON, Deputy Tax Commissioner and Commissioner of Corporations.
