SING SING.

The annual excursion OF the Sunday school OF the
Highland Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
takes place on Friday to Glen Island.
For the last sixty wears this village has been
attacked periodically by an agitation over cnang-
Ing the name of the place. About three years ago
the subject reached point where a public meeting
was called. The name Weskora was submitted Tor
adoption and rejected Now the question threatens
to come up again. II being proposed that the name
Sing Sing be used exclusively for a station 10 pc
built by the railroad company at the prison, wnile
the village proper adopts some otEer designation.
II is not thought that the effort will be successful

mate. together with sum to be added by the
Board of Aldermen for deficiencies. Without def
clenctes added the general tax rate would be about
20 o. on $780, and the rate for corporations which
nav their taxes the State direct. about 81 ST. The
Aldermen under the law can add 10 the budget this
wear the sum OF 81 1872 ss1 65 for deficiencies This is
not likely however. The sum usually added each
wear when Tammany controlled was 10000. so as
10 keep the tax rate low. But last year the sum
added was $4,000. Corporations which claim ex-
emption from paying the full rate are fewer in
number than usual. and need not be settled with as
formerly big sum for deficiencies would increase
the tax rate this year but make It lower next year
The purpose would be. OF course. to reflect on the
present city administration. II would make the
tax rate for 1897 about $2OS 81 o. Last year II
was 81 IA Whatever happens the tax rate OF 1881
will be considerably under that OF 1896.
