City Engineer Manson received yes

The federal engineers who presented

LET CHURCHES PAY
TAX, SAYS GAYNOR
Mayor of New York Comes Out
Strongly Against Exemption
OF Religious Property

NEW YORK, April THAT churches
and religious institutions should pay
their share of taxes for local improve
ments is Mayor Gaynor's latest sug-
gestion He turned his attention to
the city tax and assessment department
for tire first time this week.
After ascertaining to his satisfaction
that much excellent property through
out the city is undervalued, he an
nounced that the tax board needs
waking up
why shouldn't the churches pay
their assessments for improvements as
well as other people?" he asks in a
statement given out today. Il don't
see why there should be any discrimi-
nation. I know it is the policy of the
state to free religious institutions from
general taxation, but i think that they
should be made to pay local improve
ment assessments.
II shall, therefore. refuse to ap-
prove the frequent applications which
come to us for exempting churches and
religious or charitable institutions from
these assessments

in New Zealand is no respecter Of per

by a Hindu servant, who had been

country and the Hindus, although
British subjects. are included in the
exclusion. Lord Kitchener was in

could not land and was advised to
send his Hindu home and hire q white
servant. The general bowed TO the
law. paid his Wallets passage home to
India and engaged as his man" until
he reached London the cabin boy who
had waited on him aboard the liner
that landed him in New Zealand.

TIGERS IN INDIA.
Strange Hind0o Beliefs Concerning
the Man Eaters.

In India the traditions of folk
lore are numerous and strange.
Among those pertaining to the
tiger the following are the most
peculiar: The uneducated Hindoo
(and he is in the great majority
believes that the ghost of man
killed by tiger rides on the head
OF the beast that slew him to warn
him of Of danger and to guide him
to new victims. 1t is declared
that God provides for the tigers
daily wants to the amount, Of 7
rupee day-that is to say, if the
tiger kills calf worth rupees he
will not be allowed another victim
for five days.
Eating the flesh of a tiger is
suppose to give one great courage
and alertness, but the whiskers
must first be singed off the beast
or his spirit will haunt the man
who fed off him. and he is likely
to be turned into a tiger in the
next world.
The following incident really &C.
Cured in a small Indian village in
the interior: One of the villagers
was unfortunately killed by tiger.
The police investigated the acct
dental death and rendered this
verdict; "Pandu died of a tiger
eating him. There was no other
cause OF death. Nothing was left
of him save his bones and some
fingers, which probably belonged
to either the right or left hand. p"
