it was an interesting picture. \ tax
payer likes TO know what is done with
his dollar. He is also interested in how
many dollars he must give up. A tax
payer is interested in knowing how
many cents Of his dollar go for educa.
ton, police and fire and health and
sanitation, and he is also interested in
knowing how much of those things he
gets for his dollar. The average Dis
trict taxpayer believes that the Dis
trict government is more efficient
than most other municipal govern
ments, and that he gels more public
service for his dollar than most other

To Explore Sargasso.

The wooden ship Arcturus will

New York's Budget.

New York is a big town. It glories
in it's size. its millions OF population,
It's vast concentration Of wealth, its
congestion, its problems of transporta.
ton. its bigness in every respect. Just
now, however, it Is amazed by the
bigness OF its budget. According to
the latest figures, the cost Of running G
the city for 1925 will be close upon
$400, 000, 900. and that does not account
for the virtually assured increases, in
ciGent TO further development. AT the
same time the Board OF Estimate is
ures. Estimates have way of
shrinking in the first stage Of appro-
pr;ation and then Of increasing in the
final stage.
But whether the ultimate amount is
s40O, ,000, 900 or only $3.50, 900 900, it
will stand as a stupendous sum to
spend on municipal maintenance. II
the population Of Greater New York
is 5000 900. as the latest available
estimates indicate, at the lower figure
it costs close upon $50 q head to run
things. At the higher figure it costs
close upon SO for each Greater New
Yorker.
The average New Yorker will prob
ably say that 1t is worth SO a year
to be New Yorker. But there are
some who feel doubtless that the rate
