LOWER TAX RATE $150 IF ALBANY WILL AID; HIRSCH'S PREDICTION committees appointed to discover additional sources of city filed reports, We intend to embody revenue relieve rate have our recommendations the form of bills and introduce them into the Legislature. 1f the Legislature co-operates with us, I predict that the tax rate on real estate will be reduced to lower." This is the statement made by Nathan Hirsch, chairman of the Mayor's Committee on Taxation and the Investigation of Mortgage Loans, whose sub-committee on Additional Sources of Revenue has just submitted eleven important recommendations designed to lighten the burden on real estate, chief among which is the proposal to abolish the personal property tax and substitute in its stead a city tax on incomes simthe Federal income tax. told that many have been inclined to regard this proposal as a chimerical one, Mr. Hirsch pledged his interviewer that it was not. He and the other members of his committee, he declared, have received every assurance that the tax is a practicable one and levied, providing the State gives the municipality power to do so.

Under the provisions of such a tax, he declared, the city would take in from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000 a year or more. The tentative recommendation made by the committee proposes a tax of one-fourth of 1 per cent. on the incomes of all married persons amounting to $1,200, and one-half of 1 per cent. on the incomes of all unmarried persons, amounting to $1,200 up to one per cent. on the incomes of persons, amounting to $10,000 up to $20,000, and 2 per cent.

on the incomes of persons amounting to 000 upward. The personal property tax, the chairman of the Mayor's Committee asserted, has become practically a dead letter and is becoming more SO each year. There are too many ways of evading it and it is imperative to find something to take its place. Concerning the attack made on William Randolph Hearst, a member of his committee, by the Brooklyn Board of Real Estate Brokers, who sent a committee to the City Hall Wednesday afternoon to demand of the Mayor that he demand Mr. Hearst's resignation from the committee, on the ground that one of his newspapers had contained an article discouraging investments in mortgages during the war, Mr.

Hirsch expressed his conviction that the article in question did not express Mr. Hearst's views on the subject and was published without his personal knowledge. The views expressed in it, he declared, were entirely at variance to those expressed by Mr. Hearst before the committee. "Mr.

Hearst's attitude with regard to real estate investment has tirely consistent throughout his entire association with this committee," declared Mr. Hirsch. "At all times he has been a firm believer in the integrity and stability of real estate investments, and so far as I know he still maintains the same conviction." The chairman of the Mayor's Committee is himself a big real estate owner, paying $25.000 in taxes to the city yearly on his holdings. Although not a professional real estate man (he is a cotton goods merchant) he has supreme confidence in the future of real estate. "Considering the increase in the cost of every commodity, I do not think that the expense of handling real estate has increased disproportionately," he declared.

"In fact. its cost has increased much less than commodities in my own line, for instance. I have unshaken confidence in the future of real estate in this city." FOR KINDERGARTEN WORK The necessity of supplying kindergartens for the 6,000 refugee children in France was discussed yesterday by Miss Fanniebelle Curtis, director of the kindergartens of public schools, in an address to women in Memorial Hall of the Y. W. C.

A. Miss Curtis has had charge of the kindergartens in this city for eighteen years, during which time she has taken care of more than 30,000 children. In company with Miss Mary Moore Orr she made a tour of devastated France. The Board of Education has granted Miss Curtis a leave of absence until September, and she expects to leave again for France, taking with her a kindergarten unit. The drive to raise funds for the establishing of these kindergartens was started last May by the International Kindergarten Union, and during last February two kindergartens were established in France, with Miss Margaret C.

Holmes and Miss Sophie Brady, two Brooklyn young women, in charge. The union is endeavoring to raise $50,000 before June 1, which will permit of the erection of twenty kindergartens; at the present time they have a fund of $18,000. JR. O.U.A.M.

The following suggestions are made: "Review of the moral and spiritual principles to which we stand committed by the war, also a declaration of its loyaity to the great moral aims of our nation in this struggle as they have been set forth by the President and of its determination to make all sacrifices needful to achieve these aims." It is also suggested that in all churches there should be read the names on the honor rolls of the Church and the President's proclamation concerning Memorial Day and that prayer should be offered for all those in any branch of the country's service for the Allied Nations.

G. CALDWELL, Flatbush 4532. 546 East 17th st, Brooklyn, SAFE BREAKER GETS $10 W.S.S. AND $3 Burglar Rifles Office of President Meyer of Diamond Workers' Protective Union. JUST MISSED $500 IN CASH.

Money Had Been in Safe Saturday, but Mr. Meyer Took it Home, A safe-breaking burglar, who apparently knew his business, broke open the safe in the office of President Andries Meyer of the Diamond Workers Protective Union, on the third floor of the old Assembly building at 323 Washington street, for many years the Brooklyn Postoffice building, some time yesterday or early this morning and took all that was valuable in the safe. He did not get much for his trouble, for Mr. Meyer reported to the police today that the thief carried off about $10 in war saving stamps and $3 in cash. Mr.

Meyer had $500 in the safe on Saturday, but he took the money home with him. Three years ago the same place was visited by a burglar, who got $500 from the safe and made a mess of the job. The burglar of last night was careful not to make too much noise, and was tender with the safe. He knew its internal mechanism and simply bored a little hole in the front door with a bit, which cut the metal like cheese, and punched in the master bolt, paying no attention to the combination. The little hole he bored was scarcely noticeable.

He smashed the cash box with a hammer and got the $13 worth of loot from that. Mr. Meyer left the office door open on Saturday night when he went away, for he expected the cleaners to come in and mop up the floors. He was not worrying much about the safe. This morning when he came in he found that the clock in the office had been removed from its place and had stopped.

The office window, leading to the roof of the adioining building, was open, and lying on the gravel and tar was the cash box, smashed and battered. Mr. Meyer reported the burglary to the police of the Adams street station, and Captain Coleman and Detective Cunningham made an investigation. The thief had left no fingerprints on the safe, giving conclusive evidence that he knew his business.
