DISTASTEFUL SYNURA
BANiSHED, SAYS HAYES
Oily Bug Can NeUer Come
Back, Commissioner Adds.

The days of cucumber water are done
and synura. every billion of him. is
gone.
That was the announcement yesterday
by Nicholas j. Hayes, Commissioner OF
Water Supply, Gas and Electricity. and
he expects the water which the city will
receive within the next day or two to
bear out his announcement. Further
with a new chlorination plant which Mr.
Hayes expects to have in operation In
about ten days, he does not think that
synura or any other sort of water bug
can get the jump on him again.
"The Catskiil water now entering Hill
view reservoir, which is the distributing
reservoir for this system, has no tas''
or odor and contains no synura," st.-d
Mr. Hayes.
During the last week the synura
rapidly increased in numbers in the east
basin of the Ashokan reservoir, which is
the storage reservoir in the Catskills,
and decreased in the west basin. On
Friday the drawing of water from the
cast basin was discontinued and the
water taken from the west basin. The
daily examination shows that the west
basin water as drawn contained from
zero to ten units Of synura per cubic
| centimeter, and these few units have
been destroyed by the introduction OF
| copper sulphate into the water at the
Ashokan head works.
with the enlarged Kensico chiorina-
tion plant available the department be-
licves that any unpleasant taste or odor
which may develop in the future in the
Catslill water due to microscopic or
ganism may be promptly eliminated"

Old methods OF taxing corporations
and real estate have resulted in com
plcXity and must be remodeled. the
Davenport Committee on Taxation
and Retrenchment told the Legisla-
ture to-day in outlining its construc-
tive program.
What is left of the personal prop
crty tax should be abandoned, the
committee states; startling inequali-
ties" exist in the tax resting on pub
lie utilities: the system OF taxing
banks and other financial institutions
produces unfair results. The COM
mittee proposes a new gross net" tax
TO be levied again corporations and a
graduated tax on unincorporated busi-
I1esses.
Even the special franchise tax is
TO be abandoned in remodeling COM
pletely TIE system of obtaining taxes
from corporations and institutions,
To bring this about will require con-
stitutional amendment.

Every class of public utility pays
heavier taxes than either manufacture
ing companies or financial institutions

question of public utility taxation must

tenn OF taxing these corporations in the
State Is a chaos of intricacy and COM
plexity. The grossest inequalities come
to light. Many of the companies, par
ticularly some OF the electric railway
companies which are bound by fixed
low rate Of fare, have been literally
taxed into bankruptcy. Based on net
income the business taxes on electric
railways are nearly four times as great
as the corresponding taxes on manufac-
turing corporations. II local real estate
taxes are taken into account electric
railways pay over 3s per cent. of their
net income in taxes. This is nearly five
times the tax paid altogether by manu-
featuring companies.
"A fair BUSINESS tax must be as broad
as business itself. and the incorporated
business entities which prosper under
the support and protection of the en-
vironment OF 4 free and stable govern
ment should pay their fair share of the
burden which the State finds 1t neces-
sary to impose upon business. The COM
nitto recommends a reasonable tax
Upon the net income above $4,000 of
unincorporated business.
The present charges on motor vehi-
cles in the State arc low as compared
with those imposed by other Eastern
States. 1t Is fair to ask the users or the
roads to pay larger share than they
row contribute toward road costs. The
motor truck should be asked to con-
tribute directly toward meeting this cost
by the payment of more reasonable IL
censc fees. which at the present time
are admittedly inadequate.
"The gasoline tax is coming to be
recognized by public opinion and by the
wiser heads within the motor vehicle
industry itself as perhaps the most sat
isfactory measure of the use OF the high
ways. The committee recommends that
