have 4 home Of your own-a home built as you've
always dreamed ahome should be-a home you've
planned and designed and decorated whichisex-
aety in accordance with the wishes and needs Of
your family.
Do you know that it does not cost any more to
build than to rent? Practically the same amount
ofmoney you pay out each month for rent-or even
less will build youa home and entirely pay for it
Where is the sense in paying for the privilege Of
living III home when ucould just as easily osOu
that home?
Build nowl Nothing is to Be gained BY waiting
Authorities concede that building costs today are
somewhat above normal, but they also state that
costs cannot be lower until some future time as yet
unforeseen. AS against this, rents higher today
than ever before, % you actually losing mOuey
every day you delay.
Renters arc being turned ont 81 their homes
every dayonly to move to another rented house,
where they have no assurance that they will moi
later be told to move on.
Have 4 home Of YOUR OWN, even if you can

Tale of Bounding
Realty Values
Greene Street Fee and Lease
Values Move Up Quickly
in Short Time

Lorenzo I. Jones has leased tn. five
story building at 81 Greene Street for
the next ten years at total rental
OF $4,000. The deal, which was ar
ranged by the Charles F. Noyes Com
pany, is interesting in view of the fact
that several profits have been taken
through the purchase and resale of
the property in the last six weeks, and
th.t the rental to be paid for the prop
erty until 1929 gives it value equal
to twice what it was purchased for on
December 20 last by Richard S. Elliott.
Mr.. Elliott paid $4,000 for the prop
erty, held it two weeks and resold it
through the Moves Company to Mr..
Jones for $23,500 Although this was
a substantial advance Mr.. Jones could
have resold the property at profit of
$4,000, and in cash. On advice he re-
fused the offer. Apparently he was
wise in doing so in view of yesterdays
transaction, which stamps the value of
the property at $4,000. Mr.. Noyes
made the statement that the building is
worth that much alone The Columbus
Polish Company is the lessee
The deal indicates that profits are
not always to be found in prominent
locations; that in the forgotten Sec
tons lies fortunes perhaps as great, in
view of the amount invested, as will
be found in the moro prominent sec
tons of the city.

Initial Step for
Revision of the
Tax Law Taken
Presentation of Preliminary
Draft of New Tax Meas
ure Accepted in Light Of
Progress; Many Favor 1t

The preliminary draft of law,
which may be the basis of a revision
of the New York tax law, was pre-
sented last week to the joint legis-
lative committee on taxation, Senator
Frederick NJ. Davenport, chairman, by
the Advisory Council of Real Estate
interests, represented by Chairman
Alfred E. Marling, Walter Lindner as
counsel, Samuel II. Beach president,
and Charles A. Miller, counsel of the
State Savings Banks Association, and
Lee Day Woodwork, secretary.
The bill is also before the tax com
mittees of the State Tax Associations;
the State Conference of Mayors and
its subcommittee; the New York
City Mayors Committee on Taxation
and Mortgage Loans, and many tax
payer and commercial bodies. all of
which are interested in providing the
Empire State with a more adequate
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-02-16

and equitable tax law and the cor
rection of the we'll recognized dangers
in the present confiscatory tax bur
den on realty.
The bill provides for a moderate
tax on personal incomes, for broad
business tax and for a distribution
of future tax levies upon the broad
base thereby created. Eighty per cent
of the new taxes would be returned
to the locality where accruing.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, presented a bill to pro-
vide for tax on unincorporated bus
inesses.
On Wednesday, the joint legislative
committee heard William j. Walljn,
chairman Of the committee of taxation
Of the state conference of mayors, who
gave detailed statement on fiscal
needs of municipalities. He also men
toned the faults of fixed tax rate
at LIS on realty as being an arbitrary
curtailment of expense; deficit financ-
ing or demands for new social ser
vice hereafter being made Of the state
in place of the locality.
He approved Of q local tax on bust
ness incomes. and strongly approved
Of personal income tax rather than
Of various increases in indirect taxes
as previously advocated by the State
Controller. Secretary William P.
Capes gave facts collected by the Mu-
nicipal Reference Bureau.

lature that no time should be lost in
passing the measure.
The exchange is the frst real estate
Lody to favor the land settlement bin.
Mr. Doolittle. president. said that the
movement to the farm would be greater
than to the lots during the next ten
years. and that he would not mind if
ms property was farm land instead of
lots.
H. S. Fullerton, head of the Farming
dale Agricultural Experimental Sta
ton, said that he was sure that the
movement to the farm would be very
noticeable in the next few years. He
has spent much time among the sol
diers at Camp Upton. and he made the
statement that out of a group of 2,00C
two-thirds of the men signed slips that
the factory. and it was the farm that
they were headed for.
He said that the soldier had come to
me realization of the fnct that as good
a living can be secured out of the
farm as out of any other occupation

q low interest rate; with provision for
financially aiding actual settlers in
eGuipping farms and for supplying
expert advice and direction. and also
assistance in selling products raised.
The committee also favored an encr-
getic propaganda for the passage of the
proposed law. not only because of the
opportunity it will give the discharged
soldiers and others seeking to earn a
living from the land. but also because
of its great economic benefits and the
social and political welfare Of the state
and nation.
Senator Blacks measure is most gem
eral in its scope and does not refer
to the service features which were
brought out by the Long Island real
estate men, who have reason to know
the value Of the things which they
urge.
The committee will journey to AL
bany shortly to impress on the Legis-

BURNS BUDGET:
STAND UNFAIR,
MAYOR DECLARES
New City Court May Be Basis
Of Trouble, Says Walton,

Allegations OF unfairness in the
budget opinion of County Attorney
Robert Burns yesterday, were made
this morning by Mayor Walton. The
city executive said that he had not
been officially informed >tha, County
Assessor James Beatty had refused to
spread the proposed budget on .he
tax rolls, or that Burns had ruled the
budget should go before the excise
board. However Walton said he was
inclined to believe that the reports
were authentic.
Walton intimates that Burns has
lined up with the opposition on the
budget question on account Of the in
s,allation Of the new municipal court.
Burns opposed the new court de-
spite the fact that the state law made
il imperative" Mayor Walton said,
"He said At the time that il would
cut into the county court revenues TO
the tune OF between 5000 and $4,000
q year. The fac, that he j. a member
Of the excise board may be used
against the maintenance OF the court
as well as other city departments pro-
vided in my own department. II

mus proceedings However until am

BOND ELECTION
WILL CosT'CI7Y
AReuT $1,000
Expenditure Means Only One
Election This Year.

The special 100000 bond election
on July Is will COS, approximately
$500, it developed this morning at a
conference between Mayor Walton
and II. G. Oliver, secretary OF the
county election board. This leans
that no other special election can be
held this year, as the total appropria-
ton for election, was only 5000.
Oliver, upon request Of the mavor.
will name the election officials and
direct the election. The city clerk
will prepare the ballots. II is unlikely
that more than 600 will be printed in
view OF the predicted light vote
Oliver said that the total vote will
probably not exceed $500.
In addition to the eight proposed
bond issues. three charter amendments
will be included on the ballots. This
will entail a much increased volume
OF printing as each amendment mus:
be set forth in full
