The high cost of living has in
creased the cost of government so
that taxes in Chicago, payable next
spring, will take jump of not less
than 40 per cent over the actual taxes
paid in 1921.
The 40 per cent increase is the min
imum that can be figured, with all the
tax levies actually made, except that
Of the Lincoln Park district
The estimated figures for Lincoln
Park indicate an increase in North
Town and Lake View that probab bly,
will exceed 45 per cent and possibly
may get past so per cent increase
In the South Town, the Town of
Lake and all over the west side and
northwest side, the tax levies already
reported to the county clerk, as fixed,
have shown increase of more than 40
per cent over last years actual tax.
AS an example of what this increase
means, the owner of a $4,000 property
in the North Town of the Town of
Lake View paid an actual tax of S88. 8.35
in 1921. In 1922, in April, he will
have to pay approximately $12O on
the same property.

BUY EMBASSIES
Provision for Credit Against
Purchase Price is Made
in Consular Bill
$15O,OOO is
LIMIT FIXED

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 26.-
Congress has given It's approval to
plans for obtaining homes for Amer
lean Ambassadors, Ministers and
Consuls in all the principal cities
Of the world.
The House yesterday. by a vote OF
2O4 to 121. approved amendments
of the Senate to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill for this
purpose. For years there hns been
an unsuccessful movement in Con-
gress for the purchase of homes for
American diplomatic representatives
so that men of moderate means
would accept important posts in the
foreign service of the country.
One of the unique means for OBJ
tanning sites for American diplo-
matte buildings is a provision in the
appropriation bill that the United
States will deduct from the indebt-
ednoss Of any foreign nation tho
cost of a site or building. a fight
was made on this provision in the
House on the grounds that such ac-
ton would belittle the United States.
but this view was not shared by the
majority. The belief was that sew
eral governments have land or build
ings which they would be willing
to cede TO the United States for
diplomatic building with the value
Of the same deducted from that
country's Indebtedness. The limit
OF value OF the property which may
be thus accepted was fixed at $780,
O0O
The diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bill also carries a pro-
vision giving to the President the
| right to accept unconditionally gifts
OF land buildings, furniture or fur
niShings for the use Of diplomatic
and consular officers. This would
obviate the necessity OF passing leg
islation when an embassy residence
is offered the government. A bill
authorizing the President to accept
the J. p. Morgan home. IS and IA
Princes Gate. London. as a resi-
dence for the American ambassador
has been pending in Congress for
nearly three years, because the
/ President had no authority to re-
ceive it, Such acceptance is pro-
vsded in the diplomatic and consul
lar appropriation bill. while $780,
900 is appropriated for the pur-
chase Of a home for the Ambassa-
dor to France.
The House agreed upon the Sen
ate amendment to the provision
accepting the Morgan home.
The bill appropriates 100000 fol
the cash purchase during the mex
fiscal year of diplomatic buildings
and grounds in fourteen cities othel
than London and Paris, and ther
authorizes their acquisition either by
cash purchase or by credit on th'
foreign debt accounts, with th'
provision that no one property ac
quired shall cost more than $3.50,
600.
The belief is that several proper
ties to be acquired viii be value'
