For purposes of State taxation, the local as- 

 sessments come annually before the State Board 

 of Equalization for adjustment. On this board 

 New York city has no representative, and it 

 has long been charged that that municipality 

 suffers from its action in unduly raising values 

 in that city and lowering them in the rural 

 counties. -The following table gives the equal- 

 ized values by counties for 1885 and 1886, and 

 the action of the board in the latter year:
