} ) | L ESTATE MEN ‘OPPOSE CRAIGBILL on Measure Giving City a One Tax Rate. Mayor Hylan to-day gave hearing on Comptroller Craig's bill, Whieh alms to legalize the 1922 bud- get by distributing county charges over the city at Jarm: in order t keep the budget within the consti- tutional tax Mmit. If the Mayor #Mgns the Craig bill before March 1, when the 1922 tax rate must under the law become effective, New York City will have one tax rate of $2.74. If the Mayor doesn't sign there will be five tax rates, for each borough, as hitherto Stewart Browne, representing the ‘United Real Estate Owners’ Associa- tion, and Edward P. Doyle, represent- ing the New York Real Estate Board, appeared against the Craig bill. Browne said his organization was opposed to the measure for several Feasons. One was that he understood the Comptroller introduced without the consent or knowledge of the other members of the Board, the Mayor included. H ‘that the bill was unnecessary because, as he explained, under the mandamus proceedings obtained by him, the Board of Estimate and the Board of Aldermen have the right to reopen! the budget and make corrections up to March 1. There still is nothing to hinder the two boards from meeting right sway and restoring all mandatory iloms they extracted from the Bronx and Richmond County budgets, Mr Browne concluded. The entire amount of the reduction, he explained, we Jess than $300,000 and could readily be adjusted without resort to the Craig measures. one “I read somewhere that Judge May | decided that the action of the Board of Aldermen was not in accordanc with the law," said the Mayor. “If that {is true, all I can suy js lew he refers to isn't a good luw. “I contend that the Constitution of the State comes before mandator islation. The Constitution states distinctly that the city must not eed a certain amount of money in its eatimated cost of runnrg the goveru- ment. Along comes the Legislature with mandatory legislation increasing the amount above the constitutiobul limit. If Judge May says we must Pay mandatory increases, even though ‘ur action is in violation of the Con- stitution, then I say his decision is Rot good law." Mr. Doyle opposed she Craig bili Because he said it would cover the tad effects of mandatory legislation pd spread it over the entife city, thereby depriving taxpayers of the opportunity to study what is being accomplished at Albany. The Mayor didn't indicate whether he would sign or veto the bill. oats Eadie Re HE WOULDN’T MARRY HER, GIRL TAKES POISON ‘Tries Suicide om Street Because \ He Loved Business More.
