THREE CAUSES FOR DECRE. These decreases are due to three general causee—court decisions, com- Promises out of court and lowered as- sessments by the State Board of Tax Commissioners. New York City’s tax Fevenue from use of its streets by coporations grows less, instead of more, as the privileges grow more valuable. A climax has been reached in the cases of B. R. T., New York Central and Brookiyn Union Gas companies, because of a difference of dpinion be- tween municipal officinis in New York over accepting a compromise out of court of pending suits involving fran- chise taxes of 1910, 1911 and 1912. It is understood in Albany that Mayor Mitchell has declined to ap- prove of the terms as arranged by his Corporation Counsel. The Attorney General is reported to have taken the stand that he will not countenance any compromise unless it is signed by the three leading officials of the city— Mayor, Comptroller and Corporation Counsel. Conferences are now on be- tween law officers of State and city to reach an agreement. SEES NEED FOR REFOR!ING TAX ADMINISTRATION. In this complication and tne large amount of litigation over franchise taxes, Gov. Whitman sees opportun- ity to demonstrate the necessity of reform of the State's tax administra- tion, It adds a strong argument in favor of his bill to reorganize the present system. Comptroller Travis and his political allies in patronage are continuing op- position to the Governor's plan of centralizing authority in a new State Tax They cautiously announce, however, that they will not make an open fight, but having had their say and declared their attitude, they will let the Legis- lature es, WILLIAMS MAY INS MAY RESIGN AS STATE E ENGINEER Issues Statement eal Bagg He Is Con- sidering Returning to Ohio to Accept Profitable Offer.

He was en- gineer of the Dupont road througn - | Delaware, and now has alluring offers of complete control over large pro- jects in Ohio, Gov. Whitman said Williams had not communicated with him and he knew nothing of the possible loss of one of the leading State officials. The private offer which Engineer Williams has under consideration comes from a group of rich men in Northern Ohio headed by Dan R, Hanna, son of the late Senator Mark Hanna, who has a large country es- tate at Ravenna, near Cleveland. Hanna first organized the Portage County Improvement Association, which built roads and many other + | improvements around Ravenna, most- ly at his own expense, (SEES EN New Progressive State Commiitee- man.

The police hope to recover most of the stolen machines. Assistant District Attorney Deuel to- day said the confessions indicated that the gang consisted of five persons, who stole low priced cars and disposed of them through hotel, garage and saloon keepers, principally in Maine, Mass- achusetts and Connecticut.
