warm Thompson worker during
spring campaign last year and her
work as Investigator was without
pay and understood to be in line with
her wish for city cleanup.

to the morals CONN yesterday. She
says it's no use to uncover any raw
stuff and try to get laws enforced if
reports are going to be choked off or
lost in departments so that no re-
suits come.
Capt. Morgan Collins has Hotel
Morrison in his district and is sup
posed to know about places where
women drink with men at 4 o'clock
in the morning. He was notified by
Hanna in several reports of what was
going on, He did nothing. Hanna's
report to Chief Healey in effect asks
why Capt. Collins blinks his eyes at
what goes on in Harry Moir's place.
Moir is member of Illinois Man
ufactuFers' assn. He was prosecuted
by State Factory Inspector Nelson
last year on charges of obstructing
inspectors. He is a member of Res
taurant Keepers assn and was ac-
tive against the mattresses union.

city. the committee states that tho TAX
rate will rise higher and that unless
tho tar base IL broadcned real estate
cannot bear the full weight; and "
plan il not devised TO relieve real es-
tpte sorious consequences may ensue.
To substantiate this statement quota
tons are given from the Testimonies OF
Alfred +. Marling, Stewart Browne ana
William NJ. Grsve, who we're on the
committee formed by tho advisory
council 20 represent real estate inter-
e,ts at the hearings. Unless sourceo
OF revenue outside Of the personal
property tax are devised, the commit
toe feels that an increase OF the tax
rate would constitute nothing short OF
confiscation for real estate owners. In
summarizing the situation as II affects
real estate, the committee concludes
with the following words:
"Our single tax friends are fond or
talking of certain well known wealthy
New York families and give the i'm
preston that most of New York real
estate is monopolized b. few rch
holders. II is greatly 10 be regretted
that they have created false impress
sion by centring public attention not
upon the normal condition, but upon
the unusual and abnormal.
"a careful examination OF the real
estate situation, not only IN the state
AT large. but In New York City itself,
will disclose surprising number OF
small holders of real estate who de-
pend on the income from this property
for a living. In many instances the
head Of the family before dying has

property would BIZ sufficient to take

which those who owned the property

of the small salaried man who desires
to own his own home is even more
serious; in fact, the high rates con-
stitute positive deterrent TO home

Mrs. Thomas Morgan fur-ciad and
attired in the latest fashion, told the

dence as "shanty'; that the city also
differed from Mr.. Lessler, inasmuch
"a the award for the property was over

Mrs. Mary Schirmer, who owns prop
erty on the corner Of Broad and Riker

calling her house "shanty. She said
the city had awarded her $500, and
said she had been offered more money
for her property. She agreed with Mrs.
Morgan that the proposed new pro-
ceeding would result in increased
assessments TO the residents in the
neck Of the bottle" and vicinity. She
said that at present the assessments
