City's Hardest and Longest
Conflagration Is Due to
Burn Out Tonight.

A tank of acetylene caught fire at Q
o'clock last night in the Greenpoint re-
finery OF Some & Fleming, subsidiary
Of the Standard OIL Company, and the
sky above Long Island City was again
blanketed with rolling clouds of acrid
smoke.
Deputy Fire Chief Patrick Maher said
1t was the twenty-sixth tank that had
gone UP since the fire started Saturday
and unless something unforeseen hap
pened 1t would be the last The other
tanks in the twenty acre yard have been
drained of their contents. The oil Is
burning itself out in pools and rivulets
that have peen damned with sand by
the firemen to prevent the fire spread
ing further. 1t probably will be entirely
extinguished by tomorrow night.
Fire Commissioner brennan looked
over the smoking ruins last night and
pronounced 1t the worst fire New York
mas ever had In the sense that 1t was
the hardest to fight and lasted longest
No one was killed or seriously injured
although there were hundreds of narrow
escapes. About 400 persons were slign,-
ly injured, mostly firemen or plant en-
ployees, who were blistered when they
were caught in the path of heat waves
from the exploding tanks.
A naphtha tank exploded yesterday
morning and thirty persons were
scorched, including Lieut.. Phelps, Red
Cross girl, who was serving coffee ano
sandwiches to the tired fire fighter .

TAX VALUES RAISED

Cantor Predicts 1920 Rate
VIII Not Be Advanced.

Jacob A. Cantor. president OF the Tax
Department. said yesterday he expected
that the city tax rate for 1890 would be
L. higher than last years, but he did
not think 1t would be any lower be-
cause of increased demand. His de-
partment, he said. was increasing the
taxes of all rent proiteers to meet the
increased valuation placed on the prop
erty by the owners themselves. z
aside from the marked increase in
real estate valuations said Mr.. Cam
tor, 1.-THE city's. income will be consider
ably augmented by the new State in
come tax and strict enforcement of the
personal property tax law. The city's
share of the income tax is estimated at
approximately S12,o00.O00 for 1920. But
for these new sources Of revenue the
tax rate for 1920 certainly would ex-
coed L at for this year"
