NEW YORK STATE GAZETTEER.
With certain exceptions1 all property, both real and personal, is liable to taxation whether owned by individuals or corporations. Real estate is taxed in the town where it lies, unless adjacent to lands of the same owner or occupant in another town where he resides.
Personal property is taxed where the owner resides, and corporations in the towns where their property lics. Stoeks of corporations are taxed to the company and not to the holders. Property may be sold for the payment of taxes, and lands upon which the taxes remain unpaid are returned by the co. treasurers to the comptroller, and so much of each parcel is sold at stated periods, as is necessary to pay the taxes, interest, and charges that accrue thereon.2
The pre-emptive title to the lands of the State w. of a meridian passing through the 82d mile- stone on the Penn. line, was conveyed to Massachusetts, (except a mile strip along the Niagara,) at a convention held at Hartford, Dee. 16, 1786. These lands amounted to about 6,000,000 acres. Ten towns of 234,400 acres, in Broome and Tioga cos., called " The Massachusetts Ten Towns," were also conveyed at the same time.
Large tracts of land remained in possession of the government when it became a State. These and other portions derived from forfeitures, escheats, tax sales, Indian purchases, and foreclosure of loan mortgages, have been sold in small pareels, as parts of large tracts, having a general name and system of survey. Sometimes as many patents have been issued for these tracts as they had lots, and in others many lots have been conveyed to the same person.
The largest grant ever made by the State to citizens was that of Macomb's Purchase, in Frank- lin, St. Lawrence, Jefferson, Lewis, Herkimer, and Oswego cos. It embraced 3,693,755 acres, and was patented to Daniel McCormick and Alexander Macomb in 1791-8. The State, in accordance with Indian treaties, has conveyed sundry tracts, the principal of which arc Penet Square, (10 mi. sq.,) in Jefferson co., and Perache's, Kirkland, and other minor tracts, in Oneida co. Others, for like cause, have been assigned for missions and other specific objects. The Legislature has also by acts directed the land commissioners to convey extensive traets for the promotion of roads, rail- roads, and canals, colleges, academies, schools, and other institutions, and to reward military or other services to the State. Of the latter elass was a grant of 16,000 acres in Oneida co. to Baron Steuben, in 1794.
Of patents to citizens not ineluded in either of the preceding lists, the principal are Scriba's 500,000 acres in Oswego and Oneida eos .; Adgate's, Coxc's, Machin's, Oothoudt's, Remsen's, Dean's, and other tracts in Oneida ; Vrooman's, Noble's, &c. in Herkimer; and Watkins & Flint's in Che- mung and adjoining counties. Numerous grants of land to communities, with privileges of gov- ernment, were made upon Long Island, and in the counties bordering upon the Hudson, which will be specially noticed in the localities to which they refer.
Several of the eities have special laws for the sale of real estate for taxes, and such sales are made under the direction of the fiscal officer of the corporation. All other tax sales occur at Albany once in three years, and are duly advertised by the Comptroller and in each co. by such newspapers as are designated by the supervisors.
1 The real estate not subject to taxation comprises property belonging to the State and United States; buildings and grounds for public uses owned by counties, cities, villages, and towns : colleges, academies, and incorporated seminaries ; churches. school konses, and the property of corporations for reform of offenders; public libraries; bank stock owned by State and by literary and charitable societies; Indian reserva- tions. and the property of Indians living thereon: the property of clergymen to the extent of $1,500 cach. and property not liable to sale under execution for debt. The last named in- cludes (if owned by householders) a spinning wheel, a loom, stoves pnt up or in use. the family Bible, family pictures, and school books in nse, books not exceeding $50 in valne, a seat or pow in church. ten sheep with their fleeces, and the yarn or cloth made therefrom. one cow, two swine, and their necessary fwxi. all necessary pork. beef, fish. flonr, and vegetables pro- vided for fainily nee, and fuel for 60 days, all necessary wearing apparel. beds. bedsteads, and bedding for the family, arms and acconterments required by law to be kept for service in the militia. necessary cooking utensils, one table, six chairs, table furniture for six prisons one crane and its appendages, one pair of andirons, a shovel and tongs, tools of mechanics to the value of $25. a team worth $160, and land set apart for a private burying ground hot more than + acre. A building and lot worth $1,000 occupied as a dwelling by the owner and his family may be exempt by causing a description of the premises to be
recorded in the co. clerk's office, but such record does not ex- empt from sale for taxes. and property generally is liable for debts contracted in its purchase. Where a homestead is ex- empted the privilege continues for the benefit of the widow and family after the death of the head. Such of the above articles as are movable continue exempt while the family to whom they belong are removing from one place of residence to another.
2 Each parcel is held up at auction, and those persons com- peting at the sale name the least amount of land in a square, usually in the N. w. corner, that they will accept, and pay the taxes and charges dne. The sale is declared in favor of the person naming the least quantity, and the par- chaser receives a certificate naming the time when a deed will be dne. If not paid, the Comptroller may in 3 months cancel the certificate and give to another upon payment of the same amount, and any person may redeem within 2 years by paying the taxes, charges, and 10 per cent. in addition. Specific or undivided parts of tracts of land may be sold. If not redeemed In 2 years the Comptroller issues a full deed to the purchaser. The portion sold to pay taxes is designated by the comptroller and varies with circumstances. If a village lot, it is located 60 as to front upon a street, and in long narrow tracts it is taken off from one end. A tax sale takes place in 1859, and triennally thereafter.
