he said when In port was that he had
not been forced out of the service but
mat his RESIGNATION had been given OF
his own free will when he realized that
his statement was something which he
could not ask the Government to stand
back Of
Mr.. Williams explained the mystery
OF his recent whereabouts. It having been
said some time ago that he was held
aboard an Italian liner by relating that
he reached Holland by crossing through
Germany. In Germany he said, nnan-
cial conditions were excellent. and In
travelling about he was much surprised
TO discover no signs Of financial depres-
sion.
while the former Minister talked quite
IA bit about the war. II was evident that

ton and his own relations with the Gov
comments there.

II was Just as In the United States In the
days of 40 on the frontier when every

The taxes last year were in New York

l.S4 Queens, $50, and Richmond, 100.
The Board of Estimate added items
amounting to s4jOO0O to the tentative
budget submitted by the subcommittee.
The largest of these added Items will

rate UP slightly. That is the sum OF
$4,000. which will provide part time for
200 employees of the Dock Department,
who would have been discharged in jan
uary I II the plans of the sub-commit-
tee had been fulfilled. The sum written
into the budget will give them all some

Nised to absorb them In other city de-
partments.
one OF the big cuts made by the
board in full was $2.OS7.0 out of the
sum Of $4,000 which II had been
planned to raise to cover deficiencies In
taxes. The cut is admittedly manipula-
ton Mayor Mitchell said that In view
~ the times of stress and high rate of
taxes this had been done to keep the
taxes down as far as possible. The
amount eliminated represents taxes which
are not legally collectible just yet.
But II will have to be raised some year.
The second large item showing a de-
crease IL the amount to be included in
the debt service for the redemption of
special revenue bonds. The cut is $500.

revenue bonds which had been issued
for that part of the maintenance of the
Public Service Commission which can
be charged. under the terms OF the dual
subway contracts, to cost Of construction.

this charge. This also Is manipulation,

and Gov. Glynn hotly resented what he

of the foreign affairs committee with the
New York legislative committee.
Representative Bartholdt took the gov
