CITY or NEW YORK
MAY SEEK DIVORCE

NEW YORK, Jan. EFF the move.
ment set on foot here this week IL
carried through new star will be
added to the national flag within the
next year or two. The proposal does
not look 10 the admission Of Alaska
to the Union as might be supposed,
hut 10 the creation Of the state Of
Manhattan with boundaries practical.
" the same as those Of Greater New
York, except that the whole Of Long
Island would be included instead Of
only a part as nj present The plan
is being pushed In all seriousness and
a bill for accomplishing this purpose
has been introduced In the state leg
stature. Before the new state can
become an actually the proposal for
it's creation must be voted upon by
the people Of the city and those Of
the state and their action, il favor
able, would have to be ratified by the
Preidnt and Congress. While there
seems little doubt that the citizens
81 the metropolitan district would
vote for divorce from the rest Of
the state, il is doubtful IL the resi-
dents Of "up-state" would consent
.ines the state derives two-thirds or
more Of It's revenues from various
taxes contributed by the city. IL is
pointed out by those behind the
new movement that the state Of Man
haitian would be the richest in the
country and that only two Others
would have a larger population. The
cost of running the city is at present
sl9O 100000 and win soon pass the
500, 600, 900 mark which Of course Is
in excess Of the governmental en-
penses Of any Of the states. The new
commonwealth would make good
showing In other respects than those
of wealth and population too, for it's
annual output In manufactures would
he nearly sl,5oo,o0o,ooo and it's com
meree would amount to nearly w.,
600. O00, 900, or more than half that OF
the whole nation. Incidentally Tam
many Hall is in favor Of the new
plan as most Of its troubles rs a
political organization come from re-
volts originating in other parts OF the
state.
