Fixed Instead of Present

FAVORS SEPARATE TAX
ONE COMPLETE BUDGET

Borough President Henry Fl. Curran.
republican, Coalition candidate for the
Mayoralty nomination, took up the
school problem in a speech last night,
suggesting a separate school tax and
financial independence for the school
system as the remedy for the deplor-
able conditions revealed again by the
registration of pupils for the term just
opening.
This speech was given at the Kings
County Republican Club, Senator Lock-
woods organization, at 202 Patchen
avenue, Brooklyn. Mr.. Curran spoke
also at the Queens County Republican
Club, Jamaica avenue and Eleventh
avenue, Long Island City; the Forest
Hills Republican Club, an open air
meeting at Station square, Forest
Hills; the Republican Club of the
Eighteenth and Twenty-third Assem-
bly, districts, f. J. III. Kracke's or
ganization, 2421 Church avenue. and
the Twenty-second Assembly District
Republican Club, Leader Jacob A. Liv-
ingston's organization, at 236 Barley
street.
The Borough President turned a
trick on one Of his opponents, County
Judge Haskell. at the Livingston Club.
The Judge entered while Mr.. Curran
was speaking and received some ap-
pIause as he sat down. Mr.. Curran inn
mediately invited him to the platform
and there was much more applause
as they shook hands. Then came a
shout from the rear Of the room,
"Hurrah for the next Mayor"
Instantly Mr.. Curran smiled, bowed,
and said: II thank you"
Holding up his hand to still the
laughter, he added:
''I'll be the next Mayor. look for
ward to the day after the primaries.
when ! will receive so many Of those
congratulatory notes. Of the kind which
Judge Haskell knows how to write so
we'll"
Instead of a minimum of 40 mills
which the city Is required to levy In
taxes for education, Mr.. Curran sug-
gested In his speech maximum of 10
mills, giving the Board of Education
complete control OF its budget up to this
amount.
In the school budget. he said should
be included all current educational ex-
penses and interest and amortization on
the city debt for the school buildings,
30 that the whole story of the cost of
education may be told in one budget
and people may know at once just what
they are paying. The separate school
tax. to make this cost still more visible.
would be collected In November accord
ing to his plan. the rest Of the city taxes
in May.
The speaker called attention TO the
results of division Of responsibility be-
tween the Board of Education and the
Board of Estimate.
The three main divisions. current ex-
penses including salaries. repairs and
supplies. and capital expenditure for new
schools, have all suffered grievousIy as
a result of the lack of System and i'm
proper handling. he declared.

Chairman Meyer Surprised.

Senator Meyer was surprised when
word was received that the City Cham
berlain would not testify except at a
public hearing. The Senator said his
understanding was that the subpoena
called for the production OF papers and
records. and not for the personal ap-
pearance OF the official. 1t was stated
later. however. that the subpoena was
one of the batch of twenty-nine sent
out to heals OF all departments in the
Hylan administration requesting the
appearance on Monday afternoon next TO
give data and information regarding
the purchase and use of city automobiles.

Inquisitors Get Complaint of

in Another State.

Charles A. Winter, general inspector
OF the Department of Markets. was
removed from Office last Tuesday. ac-
cording to belated and reluctant ad-
mission made yesterday by Commits
sioner Edwin J. o'Malley and his as
sistants
Winter was suspended pending
charges two weeks ago after witnesses
had testified before the Meyer COM
mittee to having paid money to him
to obtain stano privileges in Washing
ton Market. On the day fixed by Com
missioner O'Malley for the hearing Of
charges Winter appeared with counsel
and requested adjournment until after
his case had been presented to the
Grand Jury and the results of. the
criminal action determined.
There appeared to be some doubt re-
gariing just what action was taken
subsequently. 1t was stated at Com
missioner O'Ma.ley's office that Winters
request was granted. but that imme-
diately thereafter summary removal
was directed.
Announced by McGrath.
John McGrath. secretary OF the de-
partment. announced that the Com
missioner had ordered Winters removal
and that the general inspector had dis
continued all connection with the city
government regardless OF what Is done
at the District Attorneys office. Formal
announcement of Winters removal was
made several days ago, 1t was stated at
O'Malley's office. but If 30 no one In City
Hall heard Of II until yesterday Re-
quest was made later that no mention
be made OF 1t for the present. Why
secrecy was maintained was not
explained.
Winters name was given many times
by witnesses during the investigation of
the Department OF Markets as the
official in the Department OF Markets
who had demanded money from persons
wishing stand permits In Washington
Market. Christian HasIob, a retail
dealer. testified he paid $3.50 to Winter
In cash to get his permit.
Philip Berolzhemer. City Chamber
lain. sent word yesterday TO the Meyer
committee that he would not appear in
answer to a subpoena to be sworn before
subcommittee unless assured that
three members OF the committee would
sit and the hearing be open to the
public. At his Office the Information
was given that Mr.. Berolzheimer had
been subpoenaed to appear at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon.

The Constant Plague.

Great excitement and activity
is caused every so often by the an
nouncement of an outbreak of bu-
bonic plague, cholera or typhus
fever in one of our seaports. A
few lives are lost and the excite
ment quiets down but the author
tiles are constantly on the alert.
Another disease that does hun
dreds of times as much damage
and havoc in the low areas of the
southwestern states and in the
southern half of the United States
is Malaria.
Itmay be termed the constant
plague" for it is always present.
1t does not cause directly a great
many deaths but indirectly it con-
tributes annually to many thous-
ands of fatalities, and each case of
illness causes great loss of labor
and efficiency, besides being an ex-
pense to the patient. 1t is like
wise the greatest cause of indus
trial inefficiency.
If you don't want malaria don t
let a mosquito bite you. Malaria
is contracted only through the
bite of mosquito, the "Anophe-
les"
Man infects the mosquito and
in turn the mosquito infects man.
Malaria is due to a germ which
lies in the blood cells of the human
body. 1t is so small that it re-
quires a very powerful microscope
to see it.
The malaria mosquito does most
of its biting at dusk or twilight,
less frequently during darkness

and it is necessary to keep the
house thoroughly screened. AS
these mosquitoes breed by deposit
ing eggs in standing water, all such
pools should be drained if possible,
or, if not, a small amount of kero-
sene oil should be poured on the
surface to destroy the larvae. A
certain type of minnows placed in
the water will eat the mosquito
