EDUCATIONAL COSTS
MAY BURDEN REALTY
Great Need for Local Econ
on,y, Says Board Member.

A member of the budget committee of
the Real Estate Board of New York calls
attention to serious condition applying
to New York city taxpayers. He says:
"The statement made by the Comp
troller recently as to the budget appro-
,Jfiations for school purposes is startling
in It's significance.
''The Comptroller said the recent de-
cision and orders of the State Depart
ment OF Education tended to show con-
clusively that education is a State and
not local function. II this view is sus-
tanned by the courts 1t would mean that
the amount spent annually for educa-
tionsl uses could not be estimated in the
sum allowed by the Constitution for
local purposes.
'Tn other words the city in its budget
must place the appropriation for educa-
ton with other State charges like the
direct State tax for instance. The per
cent. limit of taxation placed by the Con-
stitution for local purposes would then
have added TO II the debt service and the
State charges. and a tax rate of per
cent. more could be legally imposed and
collected.
For a number OF years the Real Es-
tate Board OF New York has been calling
attention to the drift toward the con-
stitutional limit Of taxation and for two
sessions OF the Legislature has been
urging a fixed tax rate on real estate.
Such a bill was defeated in the 1918
Legislature and was passed at the 1919
session. but was vetoed by the Mayor.

The development OF upper Fifth ave-

a colony of civic institutions, as has
been suggested by the Fifth Avenue As

tion yesterday when Douglas L. ELL

property on Park avenue at Sixty

chased the uninproved Fifth avenue

tanstitution. The two deals involved q
little more than e2.ooo.ooo.
Aside from the amount involved the
deals have an added significance because
they portend the gradual elimination of
Lenox Hill and the reclamation of that
section for high-class residences. Doug

syndicate which, when the hospital
moves. will restrict the site to residences

Prices in the block fronts above Mt

practically cleared the market of all
