IS NEW YORK CITY eANkRuPr.r

A city. like an individual or a
private corporation. can become a
bankrupt, writes Senator William NJ
Bennett. of the 18th Senate District or
New York State. in the October
Strand Magazine. Insolvency Is no
more OF a respector OF a government
than IL is OF a person or an organizza-
ton Of any description. Doubtless
many persons would be surprised 10
hear the statement MADE that the
greatest city In the United States. the
second city in the world. is a bank
rupt. Yet such is the startling fact.
New York city is a bankrupt. ms
city, in population larger than any
State in the Union except the State OF
Pennsylvania. and exceeding in popu-
lation many of the smaller govern
ments OF the world, has a gross funa-
ed debt OF 1857 10000 and an an
nual budget OF 5000. 100000.
The income of the city of New YORK
Is derived mainly from a direct tax on
real property which will amount TINS
year 10 over 10000 900. The bal
ance Of its budget is derived from
various fund revenues. such as dock
leases. water rents. licenses. interest
on investments OF the sinking fund. IN
terest on bank balances and many
other smaller items.
The real estate tax Is levied on an
assessed valuation of $500 900 900. In
other words. that amount is what tne
ground and buildings in New YORK
city have been estimated TO be worth.
This valuation, Il is the belief OF com
petent real estate men. Is now largely
IN excess OF the real value OF the
ctty's real estate. While business was
good and real estate flourishing. prop
erty owners paid their taxes without
murmuring. but now that the business
conditions are changed, there Is a de.

or its power to enforce any judgment

LESSONS FOR OUR NAVY
Efficient Ashps and High Speed Submarine Constitute Two
Urgent Needs
BY CHARLES p. STEINMETZ
Consulting Engineer General Electric COMPANY.
By CHARLES p. STEINMETZ.
Consulting Engineer. General Electric Company


The purpose Of the navy is TO
defend the eountryjs- coasts. TO
protect IT'S commerce on the
oceans. 10 drive the enemy com.
merce. from :he seas. and to at.
tack its coasts. While England
has by Tar the largest navy. so
large indeed ss to make IL hope
less for any other country 10
match IL. II has in this war JAILED
in all its duties. except in driving
the enemy's commerce from the
seas. IL has rot protected Eng
lands coasts, for German battle
cruisers, submarines and aircraft
have again and again raided Eng
land. IL is not able to protect
Engiand's commerce.. every day
brings its list OF destroyed SHIPS.
No attacks have been made on
the German coast: no material re-
suits come from the attacks on
the Belgian coast: the attempt at
forcing the Dardanelles has been
disastrous failure. and the task
has been turned over to the and
ing army.
This is an important lesson to
our country. because the failure is
not due to ,neificiency OF ma
terial on personnel. but is the re-
suit of the development OF air
Graft and submarines The for
mer laid the. country open to
hostile raids. The latter forced the
oattleships TO hide in inland har-
bors and pun the merchant marine
az the enemy's mercy.
Aircraft. especially the big Ger
man dirigtbles., have apparently
not yet done as much as expected.
though az present we have no
means to get the facts. So far
the conclusion seems warranted
that II Is very difficult and almost
impossible for aeroplanes or guns
TO attack and destroy the big
dirigibles: but there seems 10 be
some defect which has not vet
been overcome and limits their
effectiveness. II may be sus-
pected that this is the inflam-
inability OF the gas filling the
balloons. which results in dangers
OF operation not yet eliminated.
The submarine has proved It's
effectiveness beyond expectations.
and shown itself the most destruc-
i've OF all the new weapons. its
limitations thus far are low speed
and moderate cruising radius. By
ITS present low speed. the sub
marine can hunt only slower ships.
but must lie in waiting for fast
ships. However. the nrst steam
ships were slower still than the
present submarines; end. con
sidering that the submarine tor
pedo Is faster than any ship. the
