Untermeyer stated that the city will

hints at further cuts in the wages
of teachers, engineers, etc.

city dropped over 103 day laborers
from the payrolls, the salaries OF

of $17,500 a year, and $4,000 a year.

servers commented openly on the fact
that the Tammany lawyers have al
ready admitted that the proposed
taxes on brokerage firms and utility
incomes are only a temporary blind
behind which the city can go for
ward with its increased taxes on
water and the application of the
sales tax.
The gestures Of taxing the rich,
will also be used to cover up the plans
for further wage cuts in the payrolls
of the civil service employees, it was
said.
Consumers VIII Pay Utility Tax
Lawyers pointed out that the pro-
posed tax on brokerage firms be
fought for a long time in the courts,
and can be easily evaded, even if
passed. They also showed that the
taxes on utility incomes, either will
be killed in the courts, or else ultim-
ately passed on to the consumers.
In addition, many of the largest
city utilities are exempt from all
further taxes by the terms of their
franchises.
In contrast to all the obstacles
