260 TAX RATE PREDICTED FOR 1920 WITH BUDGET SET BY BOARD AT $273, 689,485 —— Loss by Prohibition and Gain| by Income Tax Uncertain Feature. SLASHES BIG MADE. But Total Budget Still Exceeds That of 1919 by ™ ; $25,664,050. The best guess hig is that the 1920 tax rate will be about $2.60 per hyndred. Some city officials, who ex- pect from $15,000,000 to $18,000,000 from the State income tax, say the rate will not be more than five or ten points higher than last year. It is impossible to more than guess at the new rate because, though the final budget has been passed by the Board of Estimate, the Board of Al- dermen may make further reductions! in the next twonty days, and the amount to come from the income tax, and the amount to be lost through Prohibition, are uncertain The Board of Estimate adopted a final budget last night without wait- Ing for it to be printed so it could] be signed, which was a violation of precedent. It fixed the 1920 expenses of New York City to be raised by tax- ation at $273,689,485.13. This is $25,664,- 050.35 more than the 1919 budget and $43,529,144.98 less than the tentative budget which the samo board ap- proved a little more than two weeks ago. “I don't believe,” said Mayor Hy- lan, as-the board completed its work, “that the people of,the city will find! much fault with the budget we have| Passed here to-day. 1 was dissatis- fied with the proposed budget, but I, have no fault to find with this.” Comptroller Craig said: “The tax rate will be all right when We come to it. will be, but I will guarantee that it won't go up seventy points in the next seventy years.” The final budget was adopted with the proviso that the appropriations for salaries in the public schools should not become available until the Board pf Education had submitted its! schedules and they had been ap- proved. Mayor Hylan promised that if the Comptroller found unreason- able increases he would recommend to the Aldermen that they be stricken from the budget, During the discussion Borough President Connolly made the flat charge that Comptroller Craig had placed nearly $40,000,000 in the un- precedented original budget so he might have the credit of proposing to strike it out, » Comptroller retorted that the s items had been put in by nt of the Committee on Fi- and Budget. “These were put in by the Comp- troller,” returned Connolly. “Desist!" said Mr. Craig. “I don't care where he is or who he is that says it, it isn’t so.” Lonnolly repeated his statement, bringing from the Comptroller a re- tort in which he referred to the Queens Borough President as a “baby » cuts made yesterday were all in appropriations for the Board of Raucation, being divided as follows: Request, Granted $36,000.00 §29,000.C9 24,560.00 15,000.00 | « 5,000.00 2,500.00 up: ipites and equinment.-., 1,930,641,37 1,630,641.37 es and 168,595.87 20,595.87 Motor vehicle ‘nipples 9,217.40 6,500.0 Motor vehicles and equip: i f 18.90 4,000.00 uiturai“eoute, eu lies, equipment an rontingencies 2,570.00 a Hire of motor whicles 4'500:00 2,500.00 This aggregates $510,906.40 in de uctions, which, added to the slashes e in the Board of Education esti- 37,577,000, This means the budget of running the chools during 1920 will be $4,250,000 more than in 9.

FIFTH AVE. HOMES ON OLD PROMISE Joe Novotny, With 21 Year Prison Sentence, Gives Self Up in Effort to Go Straight. Joe Novatny, burglar, selected last homes of the wealthy on Fifth Avenue in the up- night for a visit to the per sixties, The drizzle and the rain helped his mission, for he thought the police would be less vigilant. The burglar was well equipped, physically, for work, but what was the use? Of his thirty-nine years, he had spent twenty-one in Sing Sing and Dannemora and way stations. He had come out of Dannemora only last May after a five-year sentence for burglary, Then he had taken an oath to “go straight,” and had tried it. He learned to be a tailor in the prison workshop and got a job, But the job didn’t last, followed him and he lost place after place. So he packed up his old burglar kit and went up the avenue to give the once over to the re: dence of Thomas Fortune Ryan and other multi-millionaires, The burglar then thought of his His record oath, but tried to shake it off.
