The reason as stated in the Mayor’s published! letter is that Mr. Muller has failed to pay the taxes promptly on his’ Staten Island property. | For seventéen years Mr. Muller was the Democratic boss of Staten’ Island until he took~ sides with Charles F. Murphy in the difference between Murphy and McClellan. At the last primaries he was de- peated by Charles J. McCormack, who was thereupon appointed deputy wander Water Commissioner O’Brien. Suppose that “Nick” Muller had deserted Murphy and gone over to/ (McClellan, would the unpaid taxes have kept him from holding his job "weTax Commissioner? | Suppose that instead of not paying his taxes Mr. Muller had sold the, ity rotten hose and then failed to make his guarantee good when the hose | “burst, Would he have been removed or appointed. Deputy Water Com-| missioner, like M. Francis Loughman? There were due the city on Jan. 1 $102,834,327.64 unelected | taxes, sufficient if collected to build subways through every borough in New York. | Why does not Mayor McClellan apply similar vigorous methods to! other delinquent taxpayers? Why does he not push the collection of the taxes from the public service corporations and force the payment of at least part of the $47,348,499 of overdue personal taxes? This removal of Muller proves one thing, and that fs that Mayor McClellan can be vigorous when he wishes. Why should not the other members of the Board of Estimate become vigorous and effective and pass the subway over the Mayor’s head? At last week's meeting Bor- ough Presidents Coler and Crom- well cast the only votes in favor of immediate subway construction. What are the other members of the Board of Estimate afraid of? Borough President Ahearn was removed by the Governor and he continues in office only through lack of the vigorous prosecution of his de facto title. A Queens County Grand Jury in the recent Kissena Park investigation summoned Borough President Bermel before it, He refused to answer questions there on the ground that it might incriminate and degrade him. The foreman of the Grand Jury laid the facts before the Governor. Borough President Haffen, of the Bronx, presided over the local board when the Hunt’s Point Park, which was assessed at $4,300, was bought for $252,118.17. Of the ninety-seven city lots in this park seventy-five are under water, some of them forty feet deep. Maybe these Borough Presidents are afraid that if they do not vote against subways something will happen to them. What are McGowan and Metz afraid of, though? has a business of his own. Neither is dependent upon pol hood, Both have the reputation of being honest men. They votes apiece, which, with make nine.

When I am chaperoning I aiways take a book and Bo off in a quiet spot so I won't bother or annoy the young people I'm looking after. So I sat on a bench in the waiting room reading a magasine while Clara And hef fiance hurried out to where the trains come and leave trom.” “What for?” esked Gir.

Mrs. Jarr hesitated. ‘Well, you see," she said, “they go to one gate to catch @ train, and then the young man throws his arms around the young lady and | Says Good-by, darling, write soon!" and then he kisses her, and she kisses him. | jAnd often the gateman will let him through to the train, but even !f he don't, after they have kissed good-by the young man will say, sut this isn't my train, how foolish of me!’ And the girl will say, ‘That must ve your train four gates down, dear!’ Then they go to the gate away below and kiss good-by agaln, and find out It isn’t his train: and they can go over to the other building and do It all over again, and come back, and the girl can pretend that SHE !s taking the train. Oh, I know young couples that not only go to the Grand Central to kiss each other good-by, but who take in all the depots.” “Great scheme, that!” said Mr. Jarr, “and ‘f your day off as chaperon has done you so much good, how about letting me out to hom! to-night? I need recreation, too.” “You stay right home and keep me company, or take me out somewhere if you must go out!" said Mra.
