"The personal property tax IS max

York"
This announcement was made yester-
day by Isaac y. Seligman. banker and
chairman Of the municipal tax com
mittee Of the Chamber OF Commerce
while testfying before the joint leg
islative committee which is investigat-
ing the operation of state tax laws.
MIR. Seligman criticised the personal
property tax hsrshiy and proposed in
stead the imposition OF an income tax
for the state and city.
"No other state imposes such con-
fscatory laws" the banker remarked.
"Such "A law works toward a lowering

city and one-fourth upon the state.

M'ANENY FIGHTS
TO SAVE SALARIES
He Takes Stand with Borough
Presidents Against Mayor on
Reductions This Year.

President McAneny OF the Board OF
Aldermen opposed the standardization
Of salaries this year at a special meet
ing Of the budget committee OF the
Board Of Estimate yesterday afternoon.
Mayor Mitchell. who attended the meet
ing, which lasted several hours. firmly
adhered 10 his position that in view Of
the financial condition of the city 1T
would be necessary 70 put the stand
ardization plan in operation "a extern
sively as possible this year. Controller
Prendergast has all along advocated
this work, and vigorously argued in
favor Of il, while Borough Presidents
Mathewson and Pounds took sides with
President McAncny. No final decision
was reached.
On this showing il would look highly
probable that the Board OF Estimate, IN
finally passing on the budget, might
override the subcommittee. which has
almost uniformly adopted the salary
cuts recommended by the Bureau Of
Standards. Borough Presidents Marks
and Connolly are opposed to the salary
reductions. and it is believed that Pres
ident Van Name, of Richmond, will
stand with them. The Mayor ana lhe
Controller have only six of the SIX
teen votes in the Board Of Estimate.
Il was decided that thereafter the
Budget Committee of the Board Of
Estimate would sit with the sub-com-
mittee when hearing reports OF the
examiners on contemplated slashes IN
salaries. This will make it unneces-
sary to hear appeals from the YER
diets Of the subcommittee.
Estimates place the saving that
would be made if the recommendations
on reductions Of the Bureau of stand
ards were adopted at about SiOO'ooO a
year.
The executive meeting Of the budget
committee followed a session with the
ub-committee, which has been engaged
in passing upon the cuts recommended
by the Bureau of Standards. Several
members of the board expressed the
opinion that the subcommittee had IN
some cases gone too far in reductions;
The subcommittee last night heard
protests on cuts in the budget Of the
