us TAX RATE
AND RENT RISE,
M'ANENY'S FEAR
Citv Threatened, He De-
clares, by $lS,OOO,O 900
Direct Levy.
STATEMENT FOLLOWS
TALK WITH MAYOR
Extra Burden of 20 Per Cent
Prompts Him to Add 5 Points
TO His Estimate.

The city will have tax rate OF
o15 in 1915. which will result IN a
ce,oyal raise in rents II the Legs
is,ure masses an Sls.O00.000 direct tax
mill. according to George McAheu!'
President of the Board of Aldermen.
After another conference yesterda!
with Mayor Mitchell on the tax sltua-
tion Mr.. McAneny issued statement;
This is FIVE points higher than MT
NcAneny put the 1915 rate two OF
three DAYS ago. The present average
rate for the city is l.S9, ana IL was
70 last wear. This would amount TO
an increase Of thirty-fve points "i'h'h
two years.
Controller Prendergast was present
81. tho conference with the Mayor. but
nod nothing 10 say on the matter at the
time The Mayor said he did not care
10 speculate on next years tax rate.
Wr McAneny declared there was no
ypeculation about has figures. but tha'
thew were the cold facts. His state
ment follows: n,o
IF the Legislature passes All Sls,-
OOO 600 direct tax bill, and the Gov
ernor signs II, the effect Will be TO
drive the city tax rate for 1916 70
figure even higher than had at hrst
been supposed In its agreement 10
carry part Of the cost OF permanent
improvements IN the tax budget, the
CITY has already accepted an obligation
that will add materially to the ordinary
levy for annual maintenance purposes.
"Our present estimate is that the
additional burden of 20 per cent Of the
direct state tax proposed will carry
next Years rate nearer 10 2.l0 than the
2.1O / suggested few days ago.
eft is just as well to keep in mind
this very practical result Of the pur-
posed use of the States taxing power
as the talk at Albany proceeds.
"A city tax rate averaging 2:l5 IN
1916 viii represent an advance Of about
th.rty-fvc points IN two years. It IS
only natural 70 expect that some ma
tcral advance I'm rents would follow.
There viii. Of course, remain the al
tentative Of cutting down the services
the city is now giving N its various
departments. but from what ever angle
the situation is viewed, the passage Of
the direct tax proposed must seriously
effect the interests of the city.
81 am by no means an alarmlst, but
these are aspects Of the question that
the representatives Of the city IN the
Legislature are bound to keep in view

COUNSEL TO EXPLAIN
WHY DUNN HIDES
LAWYER Will Satisfy Court OF
Appeals That Tammany
Leader Is III, He Says.

The whereabouts of Bart Dunn, the
former Tammany leader and contractor,
indicted for conspiracy TO defraud the
state in road contracts in Rockland
County, will be explained TO the Court
of Appeals to-day.
Louis Marshall. of Guggenheim, I'm
termyer & Marshall. attorneys for
Dunn, said yesterday he would satisfy
the Court of Appeals and tell it where
his client was. Technically Dunn has
been a fugitive from justice since his
conviction was upheld by the Appellate
Division in December, 1914. Three
weeks later his bail. amounting to
was forfeited and bench warrant is
sued for his arrest
Dunn has been i'll and unable TO pre-
sent himself for arrest, Mr.. Marshall
will tell the court. When a new trial
was moved for recently il was opposed
by District Attorney Gagan of Rock
land County, who contended that as
Dunn was a fugitive from justice he
could not appeal from IA decision. The
Court of Appeals gave counsel for the
contractor until to-day TO tell where he
was, to file statement OF his mental
and physical condition and TO say when
Dunn would surrender himself Other
wise his argument for new trial would
not be entertained
Mr.. Marshall would not state yester-
day whether the rumor that Dunn has
been seriously i'll in a sanatorium near
summit, n. j.. was true. lie said he
was satisfied, however, that his expla-
nation TO the Court of Appeals would
be satisfactory and that the court
would give a further hearing to Dunns
appeal from his sentence to ten months
on Blackwell's Island on April 26, the
date set for the argument.

Heirs Of Isaac Brokaw. who won a

by Brokaw's son-in-law, Carl Fischer
Hanson, disbarred lawyer. at New York
City the other day, turned the tables
upon him yesterday and pressed a
counter suit for S22 1000 before Justice
Mills in the Supreme Court
They alleged, through Counsellor
Howard Taylor, that the former hus-
band of Elvirs Brokaw McNair owed
the estate on notes he had given 10
their father Howard Brokaw was
called 10 the stand 70 testify in sup
port of their suit. which was set up
rs counter claim 10 Hansen in answer
to his lost action for money he alleged
was due for legal services. Hansen :
former wife. Mrs. McNair, was an in
terested spectator.
Hansen's defence will be, il is IN
derstood. that the loans were made 10
his wife by her father and subsequent
ly paid back. The jury Is the same one
that heard Hansen's suit. The case
will probably 20 TO the jury By noon
