TAX SALE OF HOME
A SECRET 40 YEARS
Mrs. George Weeks Of Corona
Notified in 1916 of an
Action in 1871.

The oldest case OF all in the tax sale
investigation was encountered yesterday
by Commissioner of Accounts David
Hirschfield. who is cooperating with the
Mayors Committee on Taxation.
Mrs. George Weeks of Cambridge
street. Corona, testified that land on
which her home stands had been owned
by her family since 1884, and taxes paid
every year. Her father, before buying,
had the title searched back TO 1871. And
10! Mrs, Weeks was notified by the
County OF Queens in 1916 that the lots
had been sold in 1916 for the unpaid
taxes OF s1s3 for the year 1871. due
what was then the village OF West
Flushing.
Mrs. Title Your1nan Of 16 Aston ave-
nue.. Crotona, testified that adjoining lots
which she and her husband bought from
the mother of Mrs Weeks were sold by
the county at the same time as part of
the same parcel. Murray Horrowitz
bought the lien on both properties and
assigned II to Dora Pines. and in order
to recover 1t and clear her title Mrs.
Yourman had to pay 800 to the agent
OF the buyer, Theodore I. Schwartzmsn
of 1S9 Montague street. Brooklyn.
sohwartzman ASSURED her. she testified.
that she was getting Off cheaply.
Another witness, Gerald 8. Griffin of
West 2l5th street and Park Terrace.
Manhattan. said that without notice to
him from the tax Office his property at
50h Norfolk street was sold last jan
nunry for a tax OF s340.25. He said
that Schwartzman. as representative OF
Abram Altman, the buyer. demanded
500 for his own services in addition TO
the amount OF the back tax and assess
ments. the whole amounting to S469.
Griffin paid It
Altman as a tax sale buyer and
Schwartzman as his agent, also figured
in the story of Miss Ella L. Phillips OF
40S Vanderbilt avenue. Brooklyn. She
said that TO her amazement she had
learned that her two lots in Freeport
L. l., which she thought unencumbered,
were sold in 1915 to Altman for $2.66
apiece, the amount of back tax. For
redemption Schwartzman demanded 500,
Miss Phillips said, and when she threat
ened to tell the story to the Mayors
| committee he laughed and said no one
on earth could tell him what to charge
for his services.
Commissioner Hirschfeld telephoned
to Schwartzman. who begged to be ex-
cused from attending the hearing be-
cause his wife was H.

GUESTS HELP THEMSEL YES
AS PLAZA WATERS QUIT
Officers in Uniform Assist, While Women Find Novelty
of Self-service at Improvised Table Is
Delightful"

Perhaps the idea that New York will
try anything once. and succeed in the
trying, never dawned upon 200 or more
walters and cooks who deliberated for
a long time yesterday and then de-
cided to go out on strike at Just the
moment the tea rooms at the Plaza
Hotel were beginning to take on the
usual o'clock atmosphere of activ-
ity.
As the walters and cooks filed Taught
lily out of the rear doors after being
told that the management would not
even entertain their demands for so
per cent. increase In pay the Plaza's
smart patrons were arriving. to be met
among the tea tables by anxious manag-
ers, assistant managers and converted
clerks who told them that, really. there
was practically no one to serve the 5
o'clock delicacies.
The situation was serious for only
the briefest moment. however. many
OF the women who sat unserved at the
tables were escorted by officers In uni
form and had just completed the war
time task OF serving sinkers, candy. soup
and multitudinous other things in the
canteens spread over the city Tor the
hungry doughboy. Almost before the
strikers had moved three blocks south
in Fifth avenue. an improvlsed service
table had been set up In the Plaza din
ting rooms and the novelty of self-service
for the first time in the history OF a
big New York hotel had been trans
ferred from Park Row.
In more than one instance officers,
some of them wearing American uni
forms and others the uniforms of va
rioua allied armies. did the serving.
Two OF the young women who helped
themselves announced the idea was per
