COUNTY TAX HIGHER
AS STATES Is CUT
Reductions of 28 to Nearly 40
Per Cent. Shown in Table
Issued at Albany.

Special Dispatch TO The New YORK HEnALp.
New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, Jan. 3.
The State tax charged against the
counties decreased from 2S.79 per cent.
in Kings to 39.9S per cent. in Hamilton
between the fiscal years of 1920 and
1921, according TO table given out
here to-day from the executive cham
her. At the same time the couGttsr 'sxes
of most of the counties have increased.
The table indicates that while the eg-
penditures of the State government have
been going downward under Gov. MIL
ler's strict adherence to the policy of
economy and efficiency, the counties for
the most part have been more extrava-
CANT than ever.
With these facts in mind Gov. Miller
In his annual message recommended an
investigation into the increasing cost of
local governments. He is convinced that
the cities and counties have not exer-
cised the economies they should since
the war.
With the general reduction in costs
he believes that with greater thrift and
more efticiene administration the county
expenditures should have started down
ward the same as those of the State.
BY his investigation he hopes to point
the way by which the localities can be
relieved of mounting budgets. resulting
from extravaganza and lack of up to
date methods of administration.
The table given out by the Governor
gives the State taxes imposed upon every
county of the State in 1920 and 1921.
Without exception it has been reduced.
In twenty y-nine counties the county taxes
for the two years are given as well as
The State taxes. All but four show an
increase in 1921 over 1920. The four
sn which the county taxes were reduced
arc Albany. Hamilton. Saratoga and
Warren. The increase in county taxes
in the other twenty-five range from /
per cent. in Nassau TO 76 per cent in
Delaware. The county taxes were not
given for any of the New York city
counties. The percentage of decrease in
State taxes in the five metropolitan
counties follow: Bronx, 35.04: Kings.
2S.7o; Queens, 35.9s; New York, 1915 !;
Richmond. $3.50.

News of the Real Estate World
LONG BEACH ON EVE OF
REMARKABLE GROWTH
1921 Auctions Brought Big All
Year Population.
sy LEWIS IL. MAY.

Long Beach has awakened from it's
apathy and within the last year due
to the big auction sales at which more
than three thousand lots were disposed
OF to individual purchasers, property
there is daily advancing in value. Hun
dreds of new homes have been con-
structed and the absorption of West
End into the village Of Long Beach has
created a population three times its
original size.
The eastern end, known as Lido. has
been taken over by n syndicate and will
be highly developed with hotels, pri-
vate homes and golf course. This
will practically complete the entire de-
velopment of Long Beach as seashore
watering resort.
The increase In all year population in
this section has caused the Nassau
Hotel to remain open all year to care
for the many applicants desirous OF
making this section their home.
The spring boom is now under way
in this section. Boardwalk lots are
being held as high as $1,000 apiece. On
Park street business lots range in price
from $500 to $4,000 each and private
home plots, restricted. are selling from
81, 600 to $1,000 a lot. The National Bank
OF Long Beach is having plans drawn
for a large structure on the Railroad
Plaza.
Plans are finished for two Boardwalk
hotels. and numerous apartments and
stores are being erected on Park street.
The new one million dollar steel bridge
is practically completed and will be in
use on May /, relieving the congestion
of auto traffic, one of the disadvantages
Long Beach has experienced in the past.
The extension of the incorporated viii
lage, taking in the West End and West
holme sections, has finally settled the
general restriction conditions in zoning
Long Beach for private use, business
purposes and bungalow development
This zoning in turn has stabilized VAL
ues. each district finding ready pur-
chasers for the class or construction in
which they are interested.

Can't See Dry Law Fail
Because of Violations

sIE VERY one admits that the
l. prohibition law is vio-
lated. l know of no law
that is not violated. If every citi-
zen would do his whole duty to his
fellow men we would need but few,
If any, laws TO carry on the work
of government. Criminal laws are
not made for the law abiding, but
for the lawless, and this class of
citizens will always break the law
as long as they see an opportunity
to do SO.
"No one on sober thought, how
ever, will insist that a law is a
failure simply because It is vio-
lated. The charge of wholesale
violations is unfounded. From a
speech by Wesley l.. Jones in the
United States Senate.

cides, according TO official reports of
the Post Office Department. with the
beginning of war time prohibition on
July /, 1919. Officials of the Depart
ment refuse 10 discuss the decline
from the standpoint of prohibition, but
point out that all postal business fell
off during the depression"
Then follow the figures for three
Government fiscal years. which end
June so. Here are the figures:

Now on the face of such table an
argument might be based that pro-
hibition has hurt the postal savings
system, srlt a study of the figures for
other years as well shows that there
is no logical basis for any prohibition
argument, pro or con, IN the records

other Luxuries Bought Freely.
Tax collections also show that in
many other so called luxury pur-
chascs the public has been buying at
increasing quantities under prohibi-
ton despite She general economic de-
preston recently.
Chewing gum tax collections in
creased IS per cent. in the prohibition
years 1920 and 1921, the official re-
ports of the Internal Revenue bureau
show. This means that the total pur-
chases of chewing gum largely In
creased unless the prices Of that COM
modify scared. In that case the in
djcation is not so clear that more bus
mess was done. Some varieties OF
chewing gum now are selling at pre-
war prices.
Decentralization tax collections also
increased on soft drinks and similar
beverages. The increase was IL per
cent. '-~m
Candy tax collections, however, de-
creased 1S per cent. in 1921 as COM
pared with 1920, the official reports
show.
Tennis rackets and sporting goods
tax collections Increased 40 per cent.
In 1921 compared with 1920. In the
two prohibition years, however, an
increase also was recorded. This in
crease was more than 100 per cent,
according to the official reports.
An increase OF 129 per cent. is shown
| in the tax collections on insurance,
including life, for 1921, in comparison
with 1920.
Tax collections on many other ar
ticIes, sales of which are presumed
to have been affected by prohibition,
show in the great majority of cases
marked increases, indicating to the
fair minded that at least a consider
able portion of the money being saved
through 20 per cent. of greater re-
duction in the consumption of intoxi-
| cants is being spent for such commod-
tiles. for theaters, moving pictures and
things of that sort.

RENTAL KEEPS COST UP.

High rental is one of the main rea-

out to the $1,000 members of the Ma
tional Association OF Credit Men by
J. II. Tregoe. secretary. He urges that
credit men in every part of the country
look into this situation. He states that
rentals must be pared, else prices can
not be brought down below living costs
and that landlords must be brought
into line with the rest OF the economic
factors.

other Banks show Gains.

When one turns to the reports OF
the mutual savings banks for the en-
tire country 1t is found that the situa-
ton is just exactly the reverse Of that
in the case of the postals savings
banks. Here are two years figures
from the office Of the Comptroller of
the Currency:
Year Deposit Deposits Average
1890. .9.445.s27 S5,1s6,S45,0Oo s549.14
1921. .9.619.26O 5,575,1S1,o0 579.59
These figures are for fiscal years,
ending June 80 in each case. The
mutual banks show gain of $685.
1886, while in exactly the same period
the postals savings banks show loss
Ill deposits OF $4,276.322.
Mutual savings banks are not in
every State. For this reason it is
interesting to take the figures on de-
posits in the "wettest" State, New
York, and the "dryest' State, Della
ware, for the last two years:

cent. greater than for the fiscal year
1919, which ended the day war time
prohibition went into effect.
IT is true that theater prices were
increased and thereby the total Of
the 10 per cent. tax. 1t Is also true
that there We're substantial gains
made in the business in pre-prohi-
bition days. Like so many economic
developments it is not possible accu-
rately to analyze the cause. The facts
must be taken for what they are
worth. The year ending June 80,
1921, was the biggest on record in
point of box office receipts.
The following table shows the total
of box Office receipts, motion picture
theaters included, for two periods, one
knogn as the pre-prohibition period,

prohibition went into effect, and the
other known as the post-prohibition
period:
