It will be noticed that the total number of acres assessed is 1,360,050, 

 although the area of the Forest Preserve at the present time amounts to 

 1,548,450 acres. Part of this difference is due to purchases made since 

 the Comptroller's report, and the remainder, to the fact that in many towns 

 the assessors omit State lands from their tax rolls because the amount of 

 the tax would not pay the expenses of the duplicate roll, which under the 

 Law of 1886 they are obliged to file each year in the office of the Forest, 

 Fish and Game Commission. Although the Comptroller's last report is 

 brought down to September 30, 1907, it does not include taxes on any 

 lands purchased since July, 1906. Furthermore, the town assessors 

 are accustomed to omit water areas, which, on the other hand, are 

 included in my computation of the total acreage within the Forest 

 Preserve.
