SIGNALS TO GOVERN TRAFFIC IN OTHER STREETS Harriss Plans Simultaneous Movement Between 23d and 59th Streets, Spectal Deputy Police Commis- sioner John A. Harriss is putting the finishing touches on plans which will soon compel all nerth and southbound traffic between 2% and |S9th Streets and the East and North Rivers to move simultaneously with the signals which now govern traffic on, Fifth Avenue, The usual red, lwhite and Breen signals will be in- {stalled on tho Sixth Avenue ele- vated structure se that motoriata and pedestrians approaching” Sixth | Avenue from the east and west can govern themselves, The magnitude of this system in such that Commissioner Harriss has been compelled to hold many confer- énces with large business houses and theatre managers focated in thé “roaring fortl@®” to enable him and his corps of traffic advisers to visualize the proper functioning of this system, “The trafilc situation in this city te one of our greatest problems,” satd Commissioner Harriss to-day. “It ts not a question of sufficient regula- tions, but of getting more meh to en- force the existing la The trac force should be Increased 2,000 men. In Londoh there are 25,000 officers |who are able to handle trafic. “The Police Department should have complete supervision of all au- tomobile licenses.

While the Board of Estimate {s using axes on the budget—each member of the board directing his axe at every department but his own—in an effort to squeeze the proposed ordinary expenses of Gov- ernment’ for 1921 into the percentage boundartes fixed by , New York City rent payers should, in justice to themselves, figure out just how the burden of taxation affects them as individuals, “The process ts simple.» The Evening World has shown thet a scandalous percentage of the expenges. of Government goes Into the item of personal service— salaries and wages. The personal service ftem In the 1921 budget shows an inérease over the similar item in the budget of 1917 of $73,765,923, From this should be deducted the $9,000,000, approximately, which the city wi receive from the State to be applied to the payment of salaries to school teachers. The net increa’e is, in round numbers, $64,000,000. Under the law the city fs restricted to the collection for taxation purposes to be applied to the ordinary expenses of Government of 2 per cent. of the assessed valuation of taxable property. In 1921 this will amount to approximately $210,000,000. Of this $210,000,000, $64,000,00 represents the Increase in salartes and wages over 1917. Or 64-210ths of the amount to be raised under the 2 per cent. limit will go for Increased wages and salaries, For computation purposes the increase In wages and salaries In four years amounts to 30 per cent, of the $210,000,000, The courts have fixed 10 per cent. as a reasonable return for a landlord on the assessed valuation of his property. On this basis a tenant paying $1,200 a year rent is giving, up to his landlord 10 per cent. of an assessed valuation of $12,000, On that $12,000 the landlord s—for ordinary expenses of Gov- ernment alone—tin taxation the 2 per cent. fixed by law. His taxes for the $12,000 of valuation used by the $1,200 a year tenant amount to 2 per cent. of $12,000, or $240; of courke he passes that along to the tenant. Of the $240 a year, 20 per cent. or $72 goes Into the Increase in salaries and wages shown in the budget of 1921 over the budget of 1917. ‘The tenant pays his rent at the rate of $100 monthly, Each month he pays one-tweifth of $72, or $6, for his share of the boost In the cost of jobs in 1921, The $100/a month tenant ts sclected because the figure lends itself to percentage computation, With this figure as a basis any rent payer can figure what percentage of his own outlay for rent goes into the pockets of elty employees* who | come into the service of the elty since 1917 or have had their wages or salaries increased since 1917, For instance, the $200 a month rent payer contributes $12 a month as his share of the increase in the city payroll and tho $50 a month tenant gives up $3 a month. Out of the amount paid by the 425 a month tenant $1.50 goes Into taxbs to make good the $64,000,000 payroll boost in four years, ve TRAVIS INQUIRY | Autos KILL 2, INJURE 22 TO END TO-DAY | ps0 seeders Comptroller S Still Refuses to Tell of ay 3,500 im Court Fine Automobiles Killed two persons and | (injured twenty-two in Manhattan and | His Deals—Court to Rule on the Bronx yesterday.
