FIX GERMAN TAX LEVY
Total Taxable Property 1850
Billion Paper Marks.
Seventy Per Cent of the Aggregate 10
Given as Real and Personal Prop
erty-13 Billions Held by the
Poorest Glasses.

Berlin.-The total taxable property
held by the German people amounts
to 1850 milliards paper marks, accord
ing to estimate made by Reconstruc-
ton In its current issue. Seventy per
cent of the aggregate is given as per-
sonal and real property, IL per cent
as town property, IA per cent rural, 2
per cent mining, and 8 per cent as
goods, ships, metallic currency, etc.
(Milliard equals the American bill
lion)
The average of prewar estimates on
German-owned private property, the
periodical states, works out at $50 mil
lizards gold marks, from which amount
the following deductions should be
made:
Thirty milliards gold marks in state
property belonging to the empire, in
dividual states and local authorities,
such as railways, canals, forests, etc.
13 milliards of property held by the
poorest classes which escapes taxation,
and further, sum amounting to about
20 per cent of the total which either

lions for economic reasons or manages
to evade taxation. This amounts to
about 65 milliards gold marks
Deducting these 1O8 milliards from
the prewar average of estimates,
balance of 222 milliards remains From
this total, however, Reconstruction
states, the following sums must be de-

loss on capital invested abroad; 25
mllliards loss of territory, and 10 mil
lizards surrendered to the entente in
railways, ships, etc.
The sum left after taking off these
90 milliards in losses, the publication
sets roundly at 100 milliards gold
marks. In converting gold into paper
marks, it states, the following index

When the various categories of prop
erty are multiplied by these figures
their values in paper marks are de-
termined. According to this calcula-
ton, the average depreciation index
figure is To- thus giving l $50 milliards |
paper marks as equivalent to 100 mil
iards in gold.

FLEES MAN; LEAPS TO DEATH
Pursued by Man With Horsewhip
Frightened Woman Jumps From
Fourth Story Window.

New YOrk-Screams and the crack
Of horsewhip brought tenants in the
vicinity Of 271 West Twenty-seventh
street from their homes just In time
to see a young woman leap madly to
her death from the fourth story OF the
building.
All that the neighbors knew about
this woman was that her name was
Mae LeamOn and that she lived in
furnished room on the second floor.
About 7 80 o'clock they heard her cry
out and then raise her voice to sharp
scream as loud reports like the crack
Of a heavy whip were heard. Then
the neighbors saw a man chase her
to the roof, whence she jumped down
to the third-f1oor landing of the fire
escape.
After her went the man, and she
frantically scrambled up to the top of
an attic window on the fourth floor
Those who had rushed to the street
yelled to her not to jump. Help was
coming, for they saw Patrolman Fred
erick RObenstein of the West Thirtieth
street station running toward them.
Some said that he shouted, "Wait a
second-I'll be right up to help you"
Perhaps the patrolman was too far
away for the woman to hear him or
possibly she was so wild with fear that
words were meaningless to her She
jumped.

A letter from the Wildwood Lions
Club evoked much surprise and merri-
ment. 1t ran as follows:
"At a recent meeting of the Lions
Club the following slogan was unani-
mously adopted by the club as an ap-
propriate motto to be placed on the
city standpipe, located at the corner of
Maple avenue and the railroad: Wild
wood Welcomes the World"
Fearing that someone might be
tempted to steal their thunder the pre-
caution was taken to state that:
"This idea originated in the Lions
Club and is considered by it's members
as a great and courteous booster, that
may be accomplished at a nominal ex-
pense to the city,"

So obsessed were the Lions with this
odd notion that they went so far as to
suggest that the letters be white and be
painted on two sections of the huge
pipe. Directions we're given also as
to how the letters of the slogan should
be delineated. The Commissioners
we're too much stunned, doubtless, to
take immediate action on such a
proposition; so they ordered the letter
to be received and filed and the matter
referred to the water department. Be-
fore making any serious recommended
lions in regard to this sensational sug-
gestion, the superintendent will likely
consult the standpipe itself to see what
it may think about being placed in the
billboard class.

The second October meeting of the
held last Tuesday afternoon, the 10th,
the Mayor presiding with his accus-
toned ease. No financial report was
submitted this week. The tax col
lector stated that at the next meet
ing a report of the receipts in the tax
department and in the water depart
ment would be given for the first week
of the present month.
The weekly report of the chief of
police stated that six arrests had been
made the week before for breaking
and entering. 1t is presumed that this
report had reference to the alleged
robberies said to have been committed
at a boardwalk store or stores.
A petition, bearing four signatures,
was laid before the Commissioners.
1t read, in part, as below:
I'VE, the undersigned, being tax
payers and wner of lots and parcels
of land, lying between Schellenger and
Montgomery avenues and between At
lantic and Beach avenues, and the
signers hereto, owning in excess of
81 per cent of the land lying within
the territory above described, and
the same being in an unimproved
state and inaccessible during the
greater part of the year by reason of
there being no streets or sidewalks,
we, therefore, file this petition and re-
quest that you pass an ordinance for
the grading and %gravelling of the
streets and for the construction of
curbs and sidewalks in the area named,
the costs of which improvements
shall be assessed against the abutting
property owners"
