Tho rent-payer thus far has manlfontod only slight interest In a budget for 1921, which Is $70,000,000 In excean of the budget for 1920.

JuU at thla time, whon rentals have mounted to an oppressive figure, tho city is preparing to expend $343,000,000 as the cost of Gov ernment and pass up $38,000,000 In addition to the Legislature, which will formulate legislation by authority of which the taxpayers will eventually be mulcted of that amount too. In ordor to be able to raise more money to spend the City Gov ernment has raised the assessed valuation of real estate for purpoios of taxation in 1021 in the City of New York to (10,238,000,310.

For taxaUon purposes in 1921 this house is Tnlued at $1,180,000.

On a valuation of $1,150,000 at a taxation rate of $2.88 per $100, which Is approximately what the rato will be In 1921, tho landlord will pay In tax re to the city the sum of $32,775, WHICH HE WILL COLLECT FROM THE TT.XASTS. His Increase in taxation for the yoar 1921 will amount to $0,315. This sum, dlvidod pro rata among the anvnnty-two tenant, will take from each tho sum of $129 for the year or, practically, $11 a month. The rentals In thin house avenge $1,800 a year.
