WHITMAN FAHSTO SHIELD
Acting Mayor Chides Governor for Allowing the Plac-
ing of a Needless Burden of State Taxes Upon
City-Stil Hopes for Relief.

In a statement expressing his dlsap-
pointment over the signing BY the Gov
ernor OF the $4,000 900 direct tax bill
after the vetoing Of only $780, 900 OF
the Legislatures appropriations, Acting
Mayor McAneny said yesterday:
81 do not know what the officials at
Albany will say to their business friends
when this nearly twenty million dollar
tax sends the city rate u? seventeen or
eighteen points. What. In fact, can they
say to the property owner who Is forced
to choose between raising rents or los
ing money on his investment? Thinking
men are agreed that when the present
period of readJustment due TO the world
wal is over this country is apt to enter
a period of unparalleled industrial pros
perity but. until this readjustment is
completed. business. great and small.
must be tided over the time of waiting.
Instead Of devising new burdens for
business to bear II should be the duty
OF government to tighten present
burdens. II would be difficult to Justify
the increases made in this years state
taxes In ordinary times. With the war
devastating Europe and with business
conditions in the State everywhere ur-
settled such "A tax certainly cannot he
defended"
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-05-26
Rcproaches Gov. whitman.

Mr.. McAneny said that the city's as
sumption II It's sI3.O 900 share of the
tax would he little short OF "A calamity.
lie continued:
81 appreciate that the Governor has
been beset from every side to approve
the bills that go to make the unprece-
dented total of s63. 900. 900. That he has
been disposed TO disa gree with the judy
ment OF the Legislature IL shown in
some degree through his veto Of f2,500.-
900. To those who have represented the
city In the matter he has been always
courteous but in reaching his decision
to stop where he did In the cutting
process n in signing the tax bill In
the full amount In which 1t was passed.
he has given the city's taxpayers a
heavy burden to bear next year"
Mr.. McAneny gave figures showing
that increases OF slI.0S7.422 over the
appropriations OF the 1914 Legislature
are still loft in the bills which the
Governor has signed. The general APP
preparation bill is s32.SSs,6sS. ag inst
s30.276,5iS for the year 1914. an In
crease OF s2.6l2.i40. The supply bill.
which was s2.20l.I Sc last year, has risen
to sb.211 .920. an increase Of s3.056, t3S.

In addition the Governor signed sre-
cial bills appropriat!nC $50 600 for the

The Governor also continues 10 as
sumo that an additional 81. 1000. 900 must

direct revenues FOR the year ending on

The figures show that the greater
increases are not in the allowances made
for the current cost Of government. hut
in the so-called special or other unusual
items. The appropriations for sinking

THE other Increases coming IN n

believe that the fact has been ainrly
established that IN the main they are
unneccssary-ccrtain.y In a year like
this.
There was also sonc apparent mis-
understanding abou, my suggestion
that legislative authority for a direct
tax to cover the 5000. 900 required for
sinking fund purposes was not rcces-
sary. In pointing out that the tax FOR
this purpose could he collected, II neces-

portant fact that the Constitutional

direct tax no doub, have influence
