COURT IGHTTARDY
REPLIES M'ANENY
Acting Mayor Says Prcnder-
CAST Has Waited Too Long
With Protest.
CALLS STAND QUIBBLING

Acting Mayor McAneny accuses Comp
troller Prendergast OF quibbling in the
n tra-admipJstration controversy over
the prospective cost Of the new county
court house and site. This charge
comes not harshly from Mr.. McAneny,
Tor he acquits the Comptroller OF in
,cntionally trying to give a wrong i'm
preston OF tho facts. All tho same he
says that his friend bubbles.
The acting Mayor issued a reply yes
terday to the statement from the Comp
%troller. printed on Monday. in which
the total court house outlay was set
down az more than s25. O00. 900.
Mr.. McAneny doesn't see why Mr..
Prendergast should be fighting the court
house at this late day. The decision,
he says. is a closed Incident" The
site Is selected beyond recall. most %
1t is already paid for. the building plans
have been approved by all the RESPONSE
BILE agencies n "A lot OF money has been
spent or preliminary work. The only
question left open in the past year
was that OF shifting the site and ac-
quiring more land. and for this Mr..
Prcndergast voted. along with the other
members OF the Board OF Estimate.
"rhis detail OF the plan,' says Mr..
McAneny, could of course have been
changed later had the majority OF the
board not retained their conviction that
II would be very poor business to change
IL. The main plan was bound to stand.
II Mr.. Prendergast. after this plan has
become an accomplished fact. regrets his
own action in approving II. | Of course
have perfect respect for his new opin-
ion but as the plan itself could not he
given up without the repeal OF the court
house act. and as the Legislature has
neither repealed the act nor has been
asked to do so, | am hound to admit
that | do not quite see the point of Mr..
Prendergasts present suggestions"
Mr.. McAneny sticks to his estimate
that the cost Of the building and
site will be between 81. 900. 900 and
$4,000. 900.
THE higher total that the Comptroller
nov uses he says, rs made up through
adding to tho items OF immediate cost
about $4,000, 900 OF the interest the city
will pay upon Its investment. together
with sl.500.000 for the equipment and
furnishing Of the building and 1000, 900
for possible extras These, however.
are items that neither the Board of Esti-
mate nor the Comptroller had previously
counted in. Charges for interest follow
naturally In any city work financed
through bond issues. In citing the fig
urcs that he does tho Comptroller IL
moderate. and might quite as reasonably
have included the interest for the full
term OF the bonds, either issued or 10 be
issued. That would have added some
millions more" .

JudGe Canen's Letter.


William D.. Guthrie read a letter from
ex-Chie Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen of the
Court OF Appeals urging the retention
or the present exemptions. Judge Cullen,
Mr.. Guthrie and Judge Daniel r. Ken
nefck represented the Roman Catholic
churches and educational and charitable
institutions.
Mr.. Guthrie argued against taxing
church property. declaring that the
money invested in churches Is irrevoc-
ably consecrsted In the service of hu-
manity."
Religion is part OF the common law
OF the whole country" said Mr.. Guth-
rte. Every State exempts church prop
erty. n the Federal Government has
provided similar exemptions In the bis
trict OF Columbia"
Mr.. Guthrie questioned that any
churches are dying and attacked the
statement made by Mr.. Bolger that the
Presbyterian Church Of Elmira Is dying.
The exemption per annum for
churches In New York is about So cents
a person, Mr.. Guthrie said. For edu-
cational institutions It is Ii cents a
person.
The public service now rendered by
the Roman Catholic parochial schools, In
consideration of which they are allowed
an annual exemption OF $4,000, would

Hears a storm Of Protests
Against It.
ONLY THREE ADVOCATES

showered upon the members OF the Con-
stitutional Convention during the last
few days in protest against the proposed
amendment prohibiting the exemption
from taxation Of the property Of re-
ligious, charitable and educational In
stitutions.
This sentiment cr~ystallized tonight at

fore the conventions taxation committee
upon the amendment Of James l.. Nixon,

which would compel this class of prop
crty to pay taxes.
While there were only three appear
ances In favor OF the amendment. there
were dozens OF prominent citizens from
all parts of the State on hand In oppo-
s'tlon.
A bill taxing such property was re-
ported favorably In the state Assembly
last winter, but such a Storm OF protest
was aroused that Speaker Sweet had II

Failure Predicted.

II was apparent at the conclusion OF
the hearing tonight that the amend
ment will never be reported from the
taxation committee and that the plan
to tax this property will fail.
Those who appeared in favor OF the
amendment were James +. Morton II
the American Secular Union. John w.
Slacer, representing the mems clubs OF
tile Protestant churches In Buffalo. and
T. ]. Bolger OF Elmlra.
Mr.. Bolger declared that when. the
localities in the state were In the
process OF development years x II
might have been all right TO help the
churches along through exemptions from
taxation. He said that this necessity
no longer existed.
Mr.. Slacer thought the churches
should be self-supporting and he saw no
reason why al unbehever should he
taxed TO support churches. In his opin-
ion this was unconstitutional He de-
clared that II a hospital was not self
supporting. the public Mt large should
not be compelled to pay for Its bad
cement.
Mr.. Slacer also said that many sec
tartan Institutions were used for manu-
featuring purposes and hat this repre-
sented unfair competition with concerns
which are forced to pay their taxes.
He cited instances to show that the
present exemption laws are abused. de-

then sold II after ten years, a parcel
going to the United States ment.
This represented unfair competition

Found In a Glacier.

Sir Martin Conway has recently told
this story of finding a lost ak In the
Alps: Zurbiggen. one of the cele-
brated mountain climbers of the
world, In scaling a peak of Les An
glaises, nea Chamounix, accidentally
let his ak fall near the summit of the
peak. 1t fell some thousands of feet.
In the normal course of things 1t was
buried in snow and swallowed up In
the glacier, being covered deeper and
deeper each year, and at the same
time being carried slowly downward
as the ice flowed on. Seven or eight
years afterward Hon. c. G. Bruce and
Harkbir, a Sepoy chief, in descending
a peak of the Alps just as night was
falling, and a great barred
the way, being unable to ind the
bridge over it. cut a path down to
t. bottom. where Harkbir stepped on
an ak which had M. 2. Zurbiggen's mi
tials on the handle. There could be
n mistake as to the identity of the
ak, as Harkbir had seen 1t and used
it before.
