ALARM FELT OVER
DIRECT STATE TAX
Mayor Tells Real Estate Men
20 Per Cent. Would BE
Saddled on City.
MIGHT MEAN $4,000. 900

Mayor Mitchell told 1000 members Of
the Real Estate Board of New York
at their nineteenth annual dinner last
night at the Waldorf Astoria that the
greatest alarm felt by the Board Of
Estimate in regard to the 1918 tax
budget was due to the prospect OF a
direct state tax that would saddle on
this city approximately 20 per cent OF
"A tax variously estimated at from t15,-
900. 900 to $4,000. 900.
III the city were left to itself" said
the Mayor, we would not need higher
budget than this year or a higher tax
rate. The alarm in making up the 1916
budget is over the prospect OF direct
state tax. II it were not for that pos
sibillty I do not think there would be
any serious question about the financing
of New York In 1916.
The direct State tax has been esti-
mated at from S22, OOO. 900 to Slb.0O0. 600,
of which New York city would have to
pay about 20 per cent. There II the
real problem in making up the budget
for next year, and 1t is my opinion that
the people of New York city should take
more interest In the State budget for
that very reason
Comptroller PrenderRast, who fol-
lowed the Mayor, struck more opti-
mistiC note for the real estate men
who have been looking for that ray OF
hope In facing Mr.. Mitchell and declar-
ing that the people OF the city seem
to be unduly disturbed by the possibility
of an enormous State tax"

No eItabIc Figures.

Az far as he has been able to de-
termine, Mr.. prendergast said. there
are no reliable figures or estimates on
which the possibility OF such tax is
predicated. the only justification for
the vast figure OF f22.OOO.OO0" being
found in the deficit in the present APP
preparations fort he completion OF the
barge canal.
In this regard Mr. Prendergast said he
could see no reason why the State
should abruptly depart from the custom
of paying for the canal in fifty year
bonds 1t IL not a partisan question.
he said, and the people should see that
such tax bill does not pass the Leg
islature. The city. he added. N in no
position to assume the burden of 20
per cent OF such a tax II should have
10 per cent. voice In such policy He
believes reductions in the city tax
budget must come by changes in the
city and borough departments, which
he thinks can be done or the city must
find new sources Of income
Mayor Mitchell accounted for the net
Increase in the 1914 budget in three
ways-!ncreases in the Department of
Education, increases In the amount OF
uncollort able Saxe=, and Increase in
the debt service due TO the 500. 00O.-
600 war loan negotiated in the early
fall. He said, hooking toward 1916,
that the city has only S70,000,000 OF
probable expenditures under the di-
rect control Of the Board OF Estimate
from which to pr7une for reductions
and that out of that he hoped to cut
about $4,000 900 to S7.OOO,0OO by eff
recting better type or educational
administration. probably and by re
ducing the amount Of uncollectabla

Crown Princes Indiscretion.

The writer quotes an unnamed Coun-
tess as telling about the Crown Princes
trip to Egypt and India in 1910. The
original plan for the tour had included
China, Japan and Russia, but Asiatic
plague caused a change in the pro-
gramme
The Crown Princes trip, according to
the Countess, was undertaken as spy
In India and Egypt with instructions Ito
ascertain the state of feeling among ma
tive rulers toward Great Britains han
cling OF affairs in the Far and Near
East"
The reports given out of the Crown
Princes progress, the writer continues,
were very satisfactory for while, al
most more so than the German Emperor
and his advisers had dared to hone
But at last whispers Of two distressing
scandals were waited home by an IN
wind"
The first OF these, according to the
writer came while the Crown Prince
was enjoying the hospitality OF a high
native dignltary. THE thing was hushad
up for shame's sake, even ny the British
who fiercey resented the insult but the
story reached the Kaiser's ears through
a man employed 20 send a secret cipher
account of the Princes actions, good or
bad, exactly as they had been COM
mitted.
This unfortunate man was forced 70
report therefore, that his Imperial High
ness had abused his dark hosts hospi-
tality by attempting to visit a lady Of
the harem, Her willingness was not
thought to justify the enterprise when II
was found out only just in time to save
the Crown Prince from a fate which
would certainly have overtaken a less
sacred parsonage" The Countess's in
formant an army man, said that one or
more British officers had sacrificed them
selves In some way "as scapegoats to
save the royal culprit."

COST OF PAVING
APPROXIMATE ESTIMATES GIVEN

TEND IMPROVEMENTS TO
CITY LIMITS.

The paving question, which has
practically ceased TO be a question, at
least so far as this city's first strip
of street surfacing is concerned, has
been given impetus by persons own
ing property on Egan avenue, north
of the Normal school grounds, who
have asked that the pavement extend
clear through to the city limits.
At the outset it was intended to
obtain paving from Third street
north to Seventh street or possibly
to Eighth street. With that object as
their goal, John A. Johnson and
Frank c. Smith, representing the
Merchants association, last week
started the circulation of two consent
petitions, one providing for pavement
to Seventh street and the other for
terminating the work at Eighth
street
Then came holders of realty north
of Eighth street, who also wanted a
modern street. They asked that the
paving be extended to the Normal
school grounds at Tenth street. Mr..
Johnson and Mr.. Smith added third

and which would probably have been
