WILL HIT HOSPITALS HARD.
ROOSEVELT TRUSTEES AND OTHER BOARDS
FEAR STRANAHAN'S MORTGAGE
MEASURE.

There a number OF persons identified with
hospitals in this city which receive no approoria-
tions from the city State who think that the
Strsnafan mortgage tax bill. IL passed in its pres
form. will seriously affect the income of some
of those institutions. One Of these persons is w.
Enllen Roosevelt secretary of the board of trus-
tees of Roosevelt Hospital The hospital with
which he is connected is the owner of mortgages
amounting to several hundred thousand dollars.
Mr.. Roosevelt at his Office No. 80
waIl-st yesterday afternoon by Tribune re-
porter In speaking about the Stranahan mortgage
tax bill he said:
/ am not only opposed to the provisions of the
provisions / do think that the bill is constitu-
tionaI. TaTatiou of mortgages is double taxation
If PROPERTY is to be exempted under the bill it
certainly ought 10 be that owned by such institu-
uons as Roosevelt Hospital
The hospital does not receive one cent for MAIN
State. We bending every effort to telp the
sick poor in the city of New-York. The necessary
expenses of the hospital in excess OF the In
come. We feel that We are relieving the city and
State of great burden, and for that reason We
should be exempted in every possible way from
taxation.
We cramped in work for want of
more funds If our income is lessened by the
Stranahan mortgage tax bill II will not change
the standard of our work. but it will narrow our
field of usefulness.
The trustees of the hospital have not yet placed
their views on the Strana han bill on record. 1t Is
hard to just what action they will take. the
bill has only recently come to their notice. They
may send some representatives to Albany to speak
against the bill.

LABOR LEADERS AND ALBERT L. JOHNSON.
Albany April 16.-Unless the Assembly Committee
Rules takes different view of the proposed
amendments to the rapid transit bill in that
the amendments will die The bill has excited con-
siderable suspicion. and this view OF 1t rather
carried out to-day by the receipt of a protest
signed by the leaders OF all the prominent labor
organizations in New-York City. They denounced
the bill at length and in detail.
In addition to this document Albert L. Johnson
made answer to the committee to-day to President
Alexander f. Orr, of the Rapid Transit Commits
sion. He said in part:
Mr. Orr says that everything belonging to the
road is to belong to the city. Maybe. maybe, per-
way. The way 1t appears in the bill is that lots
of things to belong to the contractor forever
The bill calls them properties. rights, terms,
franchises - easements" and privileges. and
says that the contractor may enter upon ana use
occupy and enjoy in perpetuy all these nice things
In another place it says that he is 10 take them

confirmed the grant of So 361o acres of land under
