ably will take up investigation OF the revenues
OF the street railway corporations in the city and
the values OF their franchises. with view 70 sd-
vocating legislation for the adequate taxation Of

franchises for street railways
Something should be done, too, he said. to inn

MORE OFFICERS THAN MEN.
UNDER KANE TWO FoREA1EN DIRECTED
THE TOLL" OF ONE LABORER-
BIG BILL FOR CARRIAGE HIRE.

Borough President Cantor and his Sewer Com
missioner William H. Michales have discov-
cred the really aristocratic division Of the
municipal government as developed by Tam
many Hall under the guidance of Sewer Com
missioner James Kane of Brooklyn Mr.
Michales told Mr.. Cantor last night that in look
ing through the books he had discovered that
there were numerous foremen in charge of one
or two men in squad" In two or three in
stances it seems that one laborer on sewers
actually was supervised by two able bodied
roremen Mr.. Michales has discovered that the
inspectors and superintendents have regularly
used about twelve carriages at an expenditure
of $50 month for each carriage and horse.
After telling Mr.. Cantor about his discoveries
Mr.. Michales said;
I don't know whether there was anything
legally wrong about having a foreman TO watch
one or TWO men at work for the city, but 1t
talnly was rather remarkable state of affairs
The comparatively few la aborers certainly were
pretty thoroughly subordinated.
The carriage service has been entirely sus-
pended until the Borough President de-
termine the need of any such expenditure
L should not be surprised" said one of Mr.
Cantor's associates. who was inclined to look
at the situation facetiously. 'ff within the year
number Of those sewer foremen would bios
som out as pathologists or hypnotists. What an
opportunity they must have had, when two OF
them were watching one sewer digger, to study
the mans personal characteristics, They could
take note of every merry minute and of every
paroxysm of rage. When the laborer improved
the opportunity in the absence Of the two fore
men at neighboring ginmill where they COM
pared their notes, to go TO some other ginmill
what must have been the delight to their prac-
Csed eyes when they found their return. in
stead of a second edition of the man with A
hoe, a bland and happy 'tarTier' exulting over
the fact that he had buncoed both the foremen
and the city at the same time. Again, what an
ideal time that solitary digger with two bosses
must have had when each foreman. taking it for
granted that the other would stay and boss the
gang, himself went 70 the racetrack to mingle

GOVERNOR oDELL IS DISSATISFIED WITH THE
PRESENT INEQUALITY OF SCHOOL TAX
Albany. Jan. 2-Gover1Sor OdeIl has taken de-

and has asked Superintendent of Public Instruction
Skinner for some facts and figures regarding the
distribution of the money. He has intinated to
legislators that he is dissatisfied with the presept
methods and hopes that means may be devised
whereby the burden can be better distributed.
He believes that in the cities the school tax Is
very small and is in sense burden, while in
the country in many instances IL Is larger than sny
other tax levied One Instance recently cited is OF
school district where the cost OF maintenance was
so heavy that each adult taxpayer had to pay for
