TIE OUTLAY FOR THE NEW PARKS


Taxpayers doubtless read with interest what
Mayor Grace had to say inyesterday's TRIBUNE
concerning increased taxation and the proposed
new parks. The advantages of more pleasure
grounds for the people are generally recognized
In that respect the Mayor is in accord with
public sentiment. Under the new cOnstitu-
tional amendment the Mayor thinks that tho
entire cost of the proposed parks will have to
be met from immediate taxation. That would
certainly be serious injury to the business
interests of the city. High taxation already
places New York at disadvantage with other
cities.
The new adueduct, the waterfront improve
ments, new school houses, armOrles, sewers the
renewal of pavements and other matters author
lied by existing laws, call imperatively for a
large outlay for the payment of which bonds
can no longer be issued except i'll the case of
the aqueduct. This with the increased valua-
tiOns on real estate means such an addition to
the tax burdens that citizens will contemplate
it with shudder. Under these circumstances
the Mayor proposes to distribute the cost of the
new parks over a series of years. which seems
eminently proper. Iuch was the public under
standing when the movement for the purchase
of the parks was started, in advance of the
adoption of the constitutional amendment.
The Mayor also proposes to amend tho law, to
make it conform to that under which Central
and other parks were laid out, so far as assess
ing surrounding property is concerned. That
was also change in the original scheme not
contemplated by the public. The cost of the
existing parks has been largely paid by assess
ments levied upon the property Immediately
surrounding them. 1t certainly does not seem
fair that those citizens whose property has been
largely increased in valuation because of the
old parks for which they were assessed should

sTREET-spRTYKLIYG PRIVTLEGES.

In Brooklyn the men who sprinkle the streots pay
the city cent for each 100 gallons OF water useh'
and charge the occupant of a building : mOhth
for distributing it in front of his building lho
busincss brings in a handsome revenue and citizens
are inquiring why the city cannot as well do the
work itself and thus see that the water IL not
wasted The same question might appropriately
be asked of New York where the profits are much
greater.
The city gets nothing for the street-sprInkllng
routes They are given to politicians who farm
them out or sell them for large sums. the buyers
beng protected from any competition II house
occupant wants the street sprnkled in front Of his
place of business he must pay the price demanded
by the fortunate person who has secured the route
or else endure the dust Tho disposal OF this
valuable patronage il entirely In the hands OF the
Commissioner of Public Works. The way Hubert
d. Thompson used il 70 influence legislators and 10
permit friends 10 make money out of the sale OF the
privileges was shown before the investigating com
mitteo last year.
The city has a Strcet-Cleaning Department, where
il should place tho matter Of street sprinkling.
Then no more need be charged than the actual cost
of the work. and the waste of water could be
stopped. Otherwise these valuable privileges
should be sold under regulations to charges to be
made for the work. The present system OF dis
penslng these favors should Ice stopped

be made also to pay the same rate toward 'he
cost of the new parks as the owners OF the
property Immediately benefited, and whose
property Is assessed at low figures. But the olu
provision in regard to assessments on surronhu-
ing property, under which public Improvements
of this kind have been conducted heretofore
has been entirely left out of the new park law.
I'm Justice to the taxpayers generally the Legis-
lature should make haste to restore 1t.
What Mayor Grace says about the purchase OF
parks in Westchester County is also worthy oil
close attention. 1t certainly would be peculiar
proceeding for the city to purchase anu
improve about 1000 acres for parks in that
county, and then to pay taxes to Wcstchester on
the outlay and not to be able to get back a
single dollar on the surrounding property.
These are points in the new park scheme when
have escaped public observation. The pubic
has generally supported the movement for more
parks, but there seems to be no reason ior tho
departure from the sound maxims OF law that
have governed the purchase of park property
heretofore When the park bill was before the
Legislature we advised against its passage untii
definite knowledge could be obtained of the
exact cost of the scheme as proposed. The
wisdom of such a course il apparent when the
estimates of the cost of the land alone vary
from eight to fifteen million dollars. II all or
apy considerable part of that cost were to be
added to the tax levy in one year, us now seems
probable. it would awaken a storm of indigna-
ton from which the projectors OF the scheme
would not soon recover.
