Compared with the foregoing, it will

plan of financing the $3.50, 900, 900 es-
timated cost of running the city for
1922 is adopted there will be a drop

rate, six in Brooklyn, ten in the
Bronx, eleven in Queens and nine in
Richmond.
THE effect of the bill now being
considered at Albany" explained the
Comptroller to-day, lis to sprca d
county charges over the city at
large"
If the Craig bill is not passed the
tax rates in the five bOroughs will be
reduced approximately five points.
"The necessity for this bill is en-
phasized by the decision of Judge May
in Brooklyn in the Tiernan case" the
Comptroller said. "Whcn the 1922
budget for Richmond County was
sent to tho Board of Aldermen by the
Board of Estimate it contained pro-
visions for Judge Tiernan's services
as county Judge. The items for
county expenses are mandatory and
the Board of Aldermen is forbidden
by the charter to reduce the budget.
Notwithstanding that provision the
Board of Aldermen struck out one of
the items in Richmond County and a
large part of those in the Bronx.
Judge May, in granting the man
damus applied for by Judge Tiernan,
according to the Law Journal this
morning, has held, in effect, that the
action of the Board Of Aldermen was
a nullity.
There are three things that can
not be taken from the budget by the
Board Of Aldermen. They are the
state tax, appropriations for the prin-
cipal and interest on the State debt
and appropriations for county govern
