that which resulted so disastrously
in 1921.
Then came March. storming in
with its snow and sleet. Back went
the buds to sleep again. just as they
should at this time of year. The
fruit growers then breathed long,
deep sigh OF relief. The weather
gave them just what they needed.
The peril OF another frost blight on
their crops is at least temporarily
ayerted
With continued retarIation OF
blossom time until the late frost dan
ger is passed there is every prospect
OF bumper 1922 fruit crops in this
section OF the country. The trees
are more vigorous because of the rest
they got last year They have grown
in size and increased in strength.
The crust Of snow and sleet on their
trunks and branches has kept the
sap back near their roots. This is
what IS required TO prevent untimely
expenditure of their strength and un-
timely development Of their buds and
blossoms. The fruit crop of 1922 is
not yet secure. but March's frosty
advent has saved it from one peril.

COL, ,507, compared with a budget OF
s345.53O,039 for 1921, which was the
largest budget up to that year. The
amount of money which must be col
lected in taxes this year TO supple
ment other receipts by the city is
estimated at sss6.000,oo0 by the
Comptroller. This item makes no
provision Tor contingencies; even so,
this $3.50, 1000. 900 in taxes equals the
amount collected in 1921.
The joker in this scheme TO make
New Workers believe they are going
to pay smaller taxes is the assessed
values on which the tax rate is based.
To enable the Hylan administration
TO Keep within the law and still fix
q tax levy high enough to raise the
money for its spendings thia years
valuations of real and personal prop
critics for purposes of taxation are
fixed at $lo,46o, ,59s.SS0, and on this
amount the tax rate OF 2.I4 will
yield the $2S6, 6,00o,90o needed to meet
the budget. Last years valuations
were $1o.iS6,207,279. IL this years
tax requirements were collected on
the property valuation Of 1921 the
tax rate would be above $50, the
highest average rate for all the
counties in the history of the city.

Central Park West.
A Resident Objects TO Proposals to
Remove Tracks and Trees.

To THE NEw York Herald: In re-
gard to Central Park West Rossiter
johnson advocates widening the avenue
and says there is no use for the half
grown trees along the line OF the curb"
next to the park. He therefore sug-
gests their removal.
Why stop there? Why not remove
good chunk OF the park. and in fact
in the course Of time remove the entire
park. because 1t would be very nice
place to put up buildings, filling it up
solidly from Fifty-ninth street to 10th
street? There are certainly great
many half grown trees in the park and
they could be removed along with the
full grown ones.
Not content with removing tracks
from Central Park West, Mr.. Ottinger
wants TO take them away from -Amster-
dam avenue also. Is 1t his idea to run
double decker cars under the elevated
railroad on Columbus avenue to take
care Of the crowds, or would he propose
making 1t four track trolley street?
Assuming that both these gentlemen
have the interests OF the public at heart.

Improvement or present conditions am
reminded OF the quotation Save me

UPRoAR AT HEIFETz CONCERT.
Crowd So Large Many Force Their
Way Into Hall.

The fourth violin recital OF Jascha
Heifetz in Carnegie Hall yesterday
afternoon took place under conditions
approaching the sensational. The crowd
of those unable at the last to gain ad-
mission thronged the outer lobby with
evident hopes. and finally small por-
ton of it took the law into its own
hands, and forcing it's way through the
closed doors at the right Of the music
entrance, made dash for the inside of
the hall and into the crowd which
already packed the standing room space.
Forces belonging to the management,
with detectives, were quickly on the
scene and the music loving invaders
both men and women--were sought out
and removed from the hall. but not with
out bodily struggle on the part of
some of the men.
1t all happened just after Mr.. Heifetz
had left the stage following a perform
ance OF Charlier's transcription OF the
"Chaconne," by Vitali, and hence with
out disturbance to the artist The vio-
linist's other selections were Lalo's
symphony Espagnol" Bach's "Air on
the G String the Auer arrangement
of Haydn's ''Vivace," an air from Rim
sky -Korsakov's Coo DOR, Wieniaw-
skis "Tarantelle" and the "Palpiti'' of
Paganini.
Mr.. Heifetz was in splendid form and
in the expression of feeling he reached
some loftier heights than is his wont.
The audience overfiowed onto the stage.

A Frosty Blessing.

Let those persons who are disposed
to make grouching comment on the
wntry debut or March take second
thought on the subject. Let them
consider the balmy weather OF a year
ago and what that balmy weather
did to American fruit crops.
Premature high temperature I'm
1921 brought forth the buds aud ex.
posed them in their tenderness 10 the
late frosts that almost inevitably fol.
low spring OF unreasonable warmth.
Apples, peaches. plums. pears and
all the luscious family OF berries
we're frozen stiff in their cradles.
The 1921 shortage in these important
varieties or food was the most severe
in years. Here in New York and in
ell the adjacent States such fruit as
we got had TO come from points far
distant. Prices climbed skyward. TO
many they we're prohibitivc.
During February Of this year there
were periods OF warm, almost sum

uneasiness among fruit growers. TEN
pcratures up in the seventies were
recorded. Grass began to take a dis

feel like joining him in the new
party move. Certainly the letter is
no indication that the Premier will
try to conciliate the recalcitrant
members of the coalition simply to
win their support.
In the light Of the past the rumor
that the Premier intends to resign
and that his letter was intended to
pave the way is not convincing. He
has never shown himself gutter
On the contrary. he always has been
eager to join issue with his oppo-
nents. The only reason for paying
any attention at all to the rumor
that LLoYB GEORGE might resign Is
the fact that it originated with the
Pan Mall Gazette, London news
paper reputed to be we'll informed
with regard TO the political plans of
LLOYD GEORGE. He might, however,
resign as leader OF the coalition and
throw down the glove to his foes.
The plight OF LLOYD GEoReE is not
nearly as gloomy as it is pictured by
his opponents. Sir GEORGE YoUNGER's 5
recent bluff was called by LLOYD
GEORGE. and YouN NIGER was Obliged to
admit his weakness. The Premiers
star still outshines all others; with
out a strong leader there would be no
chance for any of the other British
leaders to win against him if he chose
to head a Nationalist combination
recruited from among the liberals of
all existing political groups. Even
AsoUtTu, nominal leader OF the OPP
position, who is making at least one
or two speeches a week in the House
of Commons, Goes not. except at long
intervals, say anything that has
enough OF the ring of battle in it to
get into the newspapers.
1t is not the Premier who looks
upon the deserting members of the
coalition and exclaims "Et tn, Brute"
Despite the approach of the eighth
year of his power and the fifth year
OF his political rule, LLOYD GEORGE
still swings his fists in the air and
strikes terror in the hearts OF his
foes.

BAUER Ann CAsALs RECITAL.

Harold Bauer, pianist, and Pablo
Casals, violoneellist. gave a joint recital
at Town Hall yesterday afternoon when
they played together an all Beethoven
program. These famous artists have
been heard here frequently in past
years in joint entertainments, but not
within the most recent seasons. The
occasion was evidently one of rejoicing
that they had again chosen to appear
together. Their audience filed the
hall and their various offerings were
received with delight. The program as
announced was changed. The sonata
listed as the second number. in G minor,
opus 5, No. 2, was played as the first
number in place of the sonata In r
major, opus 8, No l, and for the second
number was substituted the major
sonata opus 102, No. l. The remaining
works, the Variations on a Theme by
Mozart" and the sonata In @ minor,
opus 5, No. 2, were given as listed.
The compositions furnished admirable
variety in showing how the master COM
posed for the two instruments and in
their interpretations the two players de-
serve only highest praise for their
beauty OF tone, finish of technic and
artistic vision In plan Of conception.

Too Much to Ask of a Child.

A European writer, RUDOLPH RE-
the human animal. He is now look
ing for a small tropical island, rich
in fruits and small game. On this
island he and his scientific colleagues
purpose to turn loose half dozen
boy and girl babies. Concealed from
the infant the students will see what
the young of the species can do when
il is left to it's own resources. The
watchers will take notes and make
motion pictures.
Such is the plan. OF course it Will
fail unless the children are well be-
yond the toddlipg stage. A child
brought up after the fashion that
has prevailed for thousands Of years
is unlikely to thrive On berries and
other foods that grow within its
reach. At the end OF two days the
plying spectators will be leaving
milk for their subjects.
Mr.. REoUADT's idea is not new.
More than twenty years ago, in a
short story called "Primordial." the
late MORGAN ROBERTSON caused boy
and q girl. each aged about three
years, to be cast ashore on opposite
sides OF a lonely island. The boys
struggle for existence, his pursuit OF
food, his discovery OF fire and, at the
end. his meeting with the other cast
away, made literary classic. Every
reader was thrilled: few believed.
It's too late. Mr.. REoUADr. Civili-
zation has led us so far from nature
that there is no way for the infant
to wander back. OF all the mammals
the child is the only one that cannot
find for itself even its mothers
breast.

A casual hearer would conclude that
