MAY CONF|SCATE
Ex-KA|SER LAND
Flight on to Deprive Former Ger.
man Emperor Of Fortune

By The Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 3:-The fight to
deprive the former emperor of his
properties and fortune began in
earnest Monday when the motion of
majority socialists of the diet to re-
fer the issue to the national assem-
bly, precipitated an acrimonious de-
bate. The majority socialists We'd
with Independents in denunciation of
the former ruler in an effort to de
feat the proposed settlement by ac-
comprising the conf1scation of the
eX-emperor's possessions. This would
be done through constitutional
amendment, voting the ex-kaiser u
fixed sum for his maintenance.
Deputy Graef, a majority socialist,
declared the ex-ruler had failed to
live up to the historic precedents of
his race. He had not died at the
head of his troops: He chose in
stead a midnight flight to Holland
where he is now saving wood.
The deputy expressed doubt as to
whether the former emperor had
subscribed to war loans, while his
claim that he had been the guardian
of peace was disapproVed by his con-
tinuous rafting Of the sword as pro-
clamation of the mailed fist.
The democrats and the clericals
Joined IN voting for the governments
measure providing that the settle
ment be referred to the committee of
Judiciary. This committee now takes
the bill under advisement and con-
f~erences are expected to last many
weeks.
The motion of the majority social
lists providing for action at the ma
tional assembly has been temporarily

ANNUAL FINANCE
REPORT READY
Comptroller MOrgensOn 10 Con-
fer with State Commissioner

y new accounting procedure is being
worked in h Office of the city comp
~troller here to meet the requirements
of the present finance avs OF the
state. In addition. Improvements in
the mannc in which the various de-
partments of the city make their re-
ports to the comptroller have been
made, thus securing greater c~oordina-
ton and efficiency \in handling the
citys accounting.
One of the state finance laws is that
a statement of finances for one fiscal
year shall have been submitted to
the commissioner of municipal ac-
counts On or before March /, of the
next year. The city's 1919 financial
statement has beer completed and IS
now in the hands of the printer.
The andersen, by a resolution re-
Gently passed, authorized the comp
troller to have the commissioner of
municipal accounts go owe the Sys-
tenn of accounting now adopted here
and approve it If it comes up to the
standards required by the new law.
Owing to h fact that under the
old system of accounting used in the
city years ago, Comptroller Olaf J.
Morgenson states, 1t has been difficult
to make up the report as called for
in the state requirements. This has
been done, however, and several new
innovations in the conduct Of The
city's finances have been instituted
by him. A uniform payroll system is
now in working order in which Is
department is held responsible for the
distribution of payroll checks.
A cost system in which tae various
unit costs are being worked out, has
been installed by the comptroller, so
that at the end of the year it may be
known just what the cost of maintain
ing each department amounted to.
This is not called for In the state
banking laws and is only subsidiary
to the other accounts.
The city's financial statement for
the 1919 fiscal year showed antici-
pated revenues of $1S8,30S.65, while
the total realized was $176,SS5.26.
The deficit showed the report was
$~6.203.30. Although the city lost $3S,-
600 in liquor licenses, this was made
up in other ways by miscellaneous
revenues not anticipated. amounting
to $~5,343.79, and additional taxes of
$8.025.25.
The report shows that an unex-
pended balance of S11,490.49 remain
ed in the surplus revenue account
while other incomes amounting to ST.
517.79 also go to the surplus revenue
account. The taxes RENTED or de-
Quoted, which are to be taken out,
amount to $12,455.76. The net sur
plus for 1919, shown in the report is
~S13,721.54. The business done by the
city during h past yea amounted
to 81 079, 60S.26, according to the re-
port The balance in the general
treasury at the close of the fiscal year
was S156.549. IS.

The entire length of the Hudson
river is 300 miles. From Troy to the
mouth Of the river in New York bay,
a distance of $50 miles, the river is
tidal, owing to the low grade of its
bed. by which the ocean tide is able
to back up. 1t is this lower tidal
navigable portion of the Hudson that
is Of so much Importance, and, of
course. the water is salt. 1t is regarded
as really an estuary Of the sea. Above
Albany and Troy the river is q small
stream, and to its source the water
is fresh.
