TOTAL CONSIDERATION.
POSSIBLE BY RULING
Decision of Revenue Commissioner
Has Important Bearing
on Realty.

A recent ruling of the commissioner
of internal revenue with regard to the
war tax stamps to be affixed to con-
veyances makes it possible for any
one to ascertain approximately "ha'
the true consideration was in trans
ferS of real estate. providing the con-
veyauce has been properly stamped.
A former ruling was that when the
consideration is part cash and balance
purchase money mortgage the tax was
based on the cash paid alone. Ihe ne"
ruling is that the tax must be based
on the full amount of the considera-
ton. without deduCting the amount Oh
the mortgage, unless the deed SHOWS
on its face that the purchase none!
mortgage is part of the consideration.
The usual recital in the trust deed
or mortgage will not answer the pur
pose. This ruling does not AFFECT the
situation where land is subject TO a
mortgage before and at the time "f
sale. only the equity being taxed
Since deeds transferring property
must carry stamps to the 1uil alhoullt
of the consideration, unless theV Snow

part of the consideration and name
the amount of such mortgage py as
certaining the amount OF the stamps
mate amount of the consideration can
be computed. The war tax on such pa
pers is at the rate of 80 cents 1or
every $500 or part thereof. Thus the
amount of the consideration may be
known up to within 5000 OF the
amount.
Where property is transferred sub
ject to an existing trust the amount
Of such trust is matter of record
and may be obtained at the office OF
the recorder OF deeds. Thus by adding
the amount of the existing trust to
that of a purchase money mortgage.
if there is one, and computing the
cash consideration by the number of
stamps affixed to the deed. the total
consideration may be approximately
obtained.
While the law provides a penalty for
understanding conveyances, there is
no penalty for overStampinS so that
any one wishing to make 1T appear
that he paid a greater amount for a
piece of property than was actually
the case may accomplish this end at
the cost of few dollars worth of
war tax stamps.

SchIeindl is also alleged to nave given

featuring war supplies in this coun-
try, and also the amounts of money

Of the allies. SchleindI wns taken to

decker were held in $50.00o and $50. 600

they were arraigned before him on
charges of conspiring to destroy the

TWENTY SEVEN
VETOES UPHELD;
NO PARTY SPLIT
Republicans of Common coun-
Gil Work Smoothly and DEM
ocrats Unite to Oppose.

Twenty-seVen vetoes by the mayor
were sustained by the Common Coun-
Gil last night. when the two political
machines worked so smoothly thar
not a break occurred.
Before the meeting the mayor
cracked the whip and brought the
wavering Republicans into line and
the Democrats acted quite the same,
for they consistently attempted to
override the vetoes, especially as to
salary raises.
AS a result of the vetoes the four
teen building inspectors did not re-
ceive their increases Of from $1,000 to
81. 800 and Charles NJ. Doughty. assist
ant overseer of the poor, failed to re-
ceive his raise of 81 900 to s1,500.
In a letter which accompanied
each of the salary vetoes the mayor
said that until such time as COM
plete survey and readjustment of sal
aries is made be win not approve any
increases which under the present
system are made promiscuously and
without proper judgment and consid-
Grafton. With this declaration of his
position as to salary increases the
pending action of the committee on
salary adjustment to recommend inr
creases amounting 70 about $4,000 to
employees of various city departments
has little opportunity Of going
through.
The mayor also vetoed two bills of
$50 each submitted by John Schweik-
hardt and Frederick Summers, clerks
In the city clerks office, who were
compensated for service by the build
ing committee. In his letter which
accompanied the vetoed resolution the
mayor said he was of the opinion
that, inasmuch as this work was part
of the duty of the city clerk and
connected with his Office, he did not
see why these clerks should receive
extra compensation.

resolution the action of the spe-
cial committee of the Committee

which Democrats and Republicans
alike, representing every section of
the city, put the stamp of their Of
fetal approval upon the Broad and

Former City Counsel James r. Nu-
gent, at the committee meeting, said

site upon which such building should
be constructed the premises situate Ut

CITY HOSPITAL
CONDITIONS At
ACUTE STAGE
Disclosures Made by Account
ants Bring Hurried Call for
Committee Meeting.

Disclosures Of findings at the City
Hospital were made yesterday and
Thursday TO members of the hospital
committee of the Board of Health
by William r. Allen and John Nc
Quade. employed by the board TO m
vestigate the accounting system and
general physical conditions at the
City Hospital, that will result in a
special meeting of the hospital COM
Tnittee in the near future Announce
ment of his intention TO call the meet
ing was made today by DR. c. F.
Webner. chairman of the hospital
committee, and the indications are
that some interesting data will be
presented.
The disclosures were made to Dr.
Webner, who spent part of Thursday
with Mr.. Allen at the hospital, and
to Commissioners Iittleton Kirlpaf
rick and Thomas J. Callan, who
spent most of yesterday afternoon
with Messrs. Alien and McQuade at
the hospital
DR.. Webner stated today he had
been Informed by Mr.. Allen OF the
nature and extent of the discoveries,
but that he was uncertain about the
exact time the meeting will be
called for.
II know what they've found OUT
he said, -but we can't get together
on it yet. for we want to find out
more,
A reporter asked Mr.. Allen what he
had told the commissioners, when
the conference had ended yesterday
afternoon.
Il can't say anethihg now was
the reply You'd better ask them"
He ran out to call the commission
ers. Mr.. kirkpatrick and Mr.. Calian
insisted that there was nothing to
their visit excepting an informal trip
about the institution with the in
vestigators. to learn the nature of
the changes the latter anticipated
lecommending. They refused abso-
lutely to make further comment on
their visit.
1t was learned that they spent a
great deal OF time in the supply re-
eeiving room and ,storereote, where
ali the food, etc. pNfcf<5sed for the
Institution Is receivsL
Concerning this department of the
hospital Mr.. Allen made 4 statement
to the committee on the night he ap-
peared before It as an applicant for
the contract TO Investigate the insti-
tuition. "As things are now he said,
.syou have no way of knowing wheth-
er or not $500 worth OF supplies are
paid for and $500 worth received
He declared he could install system
that would protect the hospital from
everything excepting. OF course. dis
honesty In the form Of collusion.
Mr.. Allen insisted on that night. IF
/ take this work 1 will wash no dirty
linen" It is understood, however,
that since he went to the City Hos
pital a week ago to begin his exami-
nation of the accounting system he
has informed the various health COM
missioneps with whom he has talked
that coming in contact with conditions
intimated in that phrase has proven
inescapable.
