[blocks in formation]

Of the 4,033,540 dwelling units in New York on April 1, 1940, 294,879 or 7.3 percent were vacant and for sale or rent (these representing the commercially significant vacancies), while 3,662,618 dwelling units were occupied by households enumerated in the Population Census at their usual place of residence. The remaining group of 76,043 units (representing roughly the remainder of the units shown as vacant in the preliminary release) was made up for the most part of vacant units being held for absent households, though it included also a few units temporarily occupied by nonresident households, that is, by households which reported that their homes were located elsewhere. Seasonal as well as ordinary dwelling units are included in all of these figures.

Dwelling units that were vacant, uninhabitable, and beyond repair were not included in the Housing Census. The figures do include vacant dwelling units that were uninhabitable at the time of the enumeration, but which were not beyond repair.

Of the total number of dwelling units in New York, 81.3 percent were located in urban places,

that is, in incorporated places having 2,500 inhabitants or more; and 18.7 percent were in rural Only 6.4 percent of the urban dwelling units were vacant and for sale or rent, as compared with 11.1 percent of the rural units.

areas.

Dwelling units vacant and for sale or rent formed 7.3 percent of all dwelling units in New York City and 3.4 percent in Buffalo, the two cities with the largest population in the State.

The number of occupied dwelling units represents approximately the number of private households in the respective areas and may be compared roughly with the number of private families shown in the Census Reports for 1930. Such a comparison shows that the number of private households increased approximately 16.2 percent, as contrasted with the 7.1 percent increase in population between 1930 and 1940. This is explained by the fact that the average size of family in New York has decreased considerably since 1930, as it has throughout the country. The average number of persons in the populatin per occupied dwelling unit in 1940 was 3.68 for the State as compared with an average population per family of 3.99 in 1930.

Source: State Income Tax Bureau

The New York State Personal Income Tax Law | divided between two individuals. provides, with respect to any fiscal year beginning on or after October 1, 1934, as follows:

The ordinary tax based on net income which is computed as usual is levied at the following graduated rates, which are applied to the amount of net income after reflecting credit for the personal exemptions: 2% on the 1st $1,000; 3% on the 2nd and 3rd $1,000; 4% on the 4th and 5th $1,000; 5% on the 6th and 7th $1,000; 6% on the 8th and 9th $1,000; 7% on all over $9,000.

If the exemption status changes during the taxable year the exemption allowable for the periods prior and subsequent to the change must be apportioned on the basis of time.

A head of a family" is an individual who actually supports and maintains, as a family unit, one or more dependent individuals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage or by adoption, and whose right to exercise family control and provide for these dependent individuals is based upon some moral or legal obligation.

In addition to the personal exemptions just mentioned, an allowance of $400 may be claimed for each person other than husband or wife under eighteen years of age, or incapable of self-support because mentally or physically defective, who was receiving his or her chief support from the taxpayer. If the exemption status changed during the year the exemption must be apportioned. The dependency credit can be claimed only by the person who provides the chief support and cannot be

Returns are due on or before April 15 of each year with respect to the previous calendar year or on or before the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the close of a fiscal year.

A fiscal year means an accounting period of 12 months ending on the last day of any month other than December.

Residents and non-residents of N. Y. State are taxable-a resident on income from all sources except those specifically exempted by the law; a nonresident on compensation from services actually rendered in New York, or income derived from a business carried on. or from real estate located within, New York State.

A return is required of every taxpayer where if single his net income for the taxable year is $1.000 or more or if married and living with husband or wife the aggregate net income of both is $2.500 or

more.

A return must be rendered in any case irrespective of the amount of net income where the gross income amounts to $5,000 or over:

Where a taxpayer actually changes residence from or to the State during a taxable year, a return is required to be filed for period of residence and one for period of non-residence, provided the net income is of sufficient amount for the whole taxable period as defined above to require one.

The normal tax may be paid in full at the time the return is filed or it may be paid in instalments consisting of one-half of the tax at the time the return is filed, one-fourth of the tax on or before two months and the remaining one-fourth of the tax on or before six months after the due date of the return.

In addition to the normal tax there is due a net capital gain tax. Net capital gain is the excess of gain over loss with respect to the sale or exchange of capital assets. The rate is one-half of the normal rates. It, also, is payable in instalments in the same manner as the normal tax.

UNINCORPORATED BUSINESS TAX

A temporary emergency tax is imposed by Article, 16-A of the New York State Tax Law. This is a tax on net incomes of unincorporated businesses and is due with respect to the calendar year 1941 or any fiscal year ending in 1942. The tax is imposed at the rate of 4 of net income of any unincorporated business wholly or partly carried on within New York State.

An exemption of $5,000 is permitted, and the tax is not due in those cases in which the net income is less than the exemption.

The computation of gross income and net income follows closely the computation made for purposes of the Personal Income Tax Law. However, in addition to the deductions permitted for the Personal Income Tax there is allowed a reasonable amount on account of the personal services of the individual conducting the business or the members of a partnership carrying on an unincorporated business.

if such person is actively engaged in the conduct of the business.

The amount so allowable can, in no event, exceed in the aggregate 20% of net income nor can it exceed $5,000 for each individual or member.

If business is carried on both within and without New York State the net income must be apportioned so as to allocate to the State a proportion of the total income which, under the circumstances in each case. will equitably reflect the amount of income actually earned within the State.

The returns must be made in conjunction with the returns filed under the provisions of the Personal Income Tax Law. Special blanks for this purpose have been prepared by the Tax Commission and should be secured by every unincorporated business entity which is subject to the tax.

The tax is payable in full at the time the return is filed.

New York State adopted the personal income tax in 1919. The State retains all but an amount which is approximately one-half of the revenue collected at the original rates and apportions such amount to elties, towns, villages and, in some instances, school districts. The additional taxes due to increased rates, 1931 and since, are retained by the State.

The increase, 1937 and since, in "other misdemeanors" and "total" for Courts of Special Sessions, and the total for all courts (last column) is due to the inclusion of traffic cases. In 1939 the arraignments in Courts of Record throughout the State totaled 11,824; acquittals were 2,454; convictions, 9,370. 8,515 were by plea of the accused.

Of the convictions, 855 were verdict of the jury; State Prisons-Attica, at Attica, Wyoming County: Auburn, at Auburn, Cayuga County; Green Haven, under construction at Green Haven, Dutchess County; Clinton, at Dannemora, Clinton County; Great Meadow, at Comstock, Washington County; Sing Sing, at Ossining, Westchester County: Wallkill, at Wallkill, Ulster County; State Prison for Women, at Bedford Hills.

The Green Haven prison, scheduled to be ready for occupancy on Oct. 15, 1941, is 18 miles from Poughkeepsie. It will have individual cells for 2,016 prisoners, in addition to 100 cells in the where incoming convicts segregation quarters, are detained for health examinations before being assigned to regular cells. (Sing Sing has 2,640 cells.) The regular cells will be arranged in two U-shaped blocks, each containing four units of 252. These blocks will appear similar from the outside, but the east block will have its three tiers of cells arranged along balconies, while the west block will have them on complete floors. This is because convicts have been found to "react differently" to the two types of construction.

All facilities necessary for the operation of the prison will be situated outside the walls to prevent them from being cut off in a convict uprising. A dam was laid across Gardner Hollow Creek at Poughquog, 4 miles east of the prison, and a pipe line laid to filter beds and a reservoir just southwest of the Institution's site. The prison will be rectangular, contained within walls 30 feet high -two feet higher than those at Sing Sing. The walls, of reinforced concrete, are 18 inches thick at the top and 30 inches at the base.

The number of inmates in the State penal institutions (as of June 30, 1940) was-Attica Prison, 2,266; Auburn Prison, 1,702; Clinton Prison, 2,149; Great Meadow Prison, 1,501; Sing Sing Prison,

The Elmira Reformatory receives from the courts sentenced male criminals not under 16 nor over 30 years of age who are convicted of or who plead guilty to a felony for the first time.

The House of Refuge, on Randalls Island, New York City, established in 1824 by the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents in the City of New York, became part of the State Department of Correction on July 1, 1932, and its name was changed to the New York State Vocational Institution, which, April 15, 1935, was established in its new location, at West Coxsackie, Greene County, N. Y. All the boys in the House of Refuge under 16 years of age have been transferred to the New York State Training School for Boys, at Warwick, Orange County. Boys 16 to 18 years of age may be committed, except for crimes punishable by death or life imprisonment.
