HOW CITY LEGISLATORS MAY | CUT DOWN THE CITY BUDGET. By presenting a militant opposition appropriation bills amounting to about $8,000,000, intended obviousiy to saddle « load of taxation on the rest of the State for the benefit of rural communities—of New York City carries approximately 10 per cent—the legislators from this city will be in position to lift a bur- den of approximately $5,600,000 from the olty budget of noxt year.

Through the Evening World the peo- ple of the olty know more about the methods by which appropriations are passed through the Legisiature than they ever knew before. followa that the legislators from this city are going to pay considerable at- tention to the rights of the peopie who elected them. Heretofore a number of the men elected to the Legislature from the city have played their party first and their home city second, Some of the city mombers of the Legislature voted last spring for the unnecessary They gave the ex- couse, such as it was, that, although it had been sbown that the city’s share would be close to $14,000,000 and men well posted in the finances of the State had denounced the bill as vicious, they had to party ‘eaters because they knew nothing atout the situation them- Therefore, it ‘elieve their ‘The statement of an Assemblyman or a Senator that he didn’t know what he was voting about will not be ao- cepted in the future.

It will be argued that the city should pay its Proportionate whare of the taxes of the State, The olty is willing to do ao, but it ts tired of paying more than its share, For instance, it ts quite certain that there will be introduced im the next session of the Logisiature a bill ap- propriating $1,800,000 for county roads. All this money is spent on roads out- side New York City, which pays for ite own roads and does not ask up- State for penny of help. New York City legislatora should inaist that the counties benefited pay this $1,800,000. Along the same line, tho legisiators from New York City should tntro- duce and fight for an amendment to the highway Inws which would ex- empt New York City from paying any expended annually for the repair and maintenance of Btate and county highways. Not a foot of the high- Ways included in the appropriation lea within the borders of the city. ‘This is particularly vicious legisla- tion, as it applies to the city, because the Btate appropriated $100,000,000 by bond issue for the construction of State roads, presumably of a durable type. During the past year the High- way Commission has authorized the |conatruction of many miles of high- Ways up-State of such a type that they cannot last more than @ year or two. The result is that these roads will continual repairs to be paid for from it il by taxation. In other words the polley, if carried out, will call upon this city to pay each year 70 per cent. of the cost of keeping bed up-State Toads in repair. City logisiators should keep an eye on the appropriation of $1,000,000 for normal or training schools situated outside New York City. This city maintains ite own normal schools and has been paying 70 per cent. of the cost of up-State normal schools be- sides, It does not seem unreasonable to ask that if the State ip to pay Such an appropriation would Iift $1,000,000 out of the city’s budget.

The State pays nothing toward the expense of running similar schools in the city. If the State would, in fairness, after ap- Propriating $1,000,000 for up-State special schools, appropriate a like amount for New York City special educational budget would be lightened by No doubt no legislator from this city will ever again have the nerve to vote for State appropriations for creeks and bridges solely designed for the benefit of up-State communities, These communities should pay for their own local improvements, just as the City of New York does. The last | 7 Legislature gave away $500,000 to fa- vored up-State localities.
