If a taxpayer can not point to anything wrong or improper in the budget, then any criticism of the tax rate is.both unjust and mean- ingless. However, I consider that it is the duty of the mayor to study the liast, present and prospective-ex- penditures in an effort to bring the tax rate well below the thirty dollar mark under normal conditions. Charter Amendments. In my message one year ago I stat- ed that I would present, at the prop- er time, some amendments to the charter that were, necessary in my opinion. I kept my promise, and I prepared amendments and caused them to bo submitted to the state legislature. The preparation of those amendments involved an enormous amount of work as I examined ncar- U^en an abnormal situation must be j '>' every charter in the state and some met, and a combination of deficien- w > o u t t h e 8late - Although strong ries and insufficient appropriations j 8 J objections were made to them the presented, and for which others arc i amendments passed a Republican as- responsible, such state of condition | semb , Iy a n d a Democratic sonate Should be fearlessly and bravely unanimously. They were not adopt- able delay, and the inconvenience of waiting in all kinds of weather'and other ill effects therefrom. After a careful consideration of all the facts, I am of the opinion that the city would be justified in expending" 0 lts share of the cost of the elimination of The great question is, of course, what method should be pursued. One method would be to depress the l railroad tracks below the street level. A second method would be to depress j Broadway beneath "the railroad j tracks! A third way would be to ele- j vale Broadway over the railroad tracks. I am in favor of the first method suggested -of depressing' the railroad tracks, considering it from a munlcl-, pal standpoint, but not fr6m an en-J glneering standpoint. In connection : | with this method, the necessity of the! Ulster & Delaware railroad to de-j press Its tracks would also have to f be considered. If its tracks were de-i pressed, it would also eliminate the' Chester street, Foxhall avenue,! O'Reilly street, Prince street, Grand j street, Cornell street, O'Neil street and Downs street grade crossings. If thls-method was determined upon by the Public Service Commission, the West Shore railroad would have to:those mornings and commence to lower its tracks at a court at 10 o'clock, short distance above where It crosses O'Reilly street, a distance of a mile from Broadway. ant Bernard W.

i ship was suulc by a mine or a Ger-' man submarine.": [ ' The Formidable is the twentieth [big ship lost by England since the war" broke out.
The Formidable was a sister.ship of the Irresistible and the implicable. She was built iu 1898 and carried tho following armaments:
Four 12-inch guns In pairs in turre ts , fore and aft;- 12 6-inch guns in casements; 16 S-tnch guns (12 pounders);. 6. 3-pounders; two machine guns find torpedo tubes...

In the budget. If a taxpayer can not point to anything wrong or improper in the budget, then any criticism of the tax rate is.both unjust and meaningless. However, I consider that it is the duty of the mayor to study the liast, present and prospective-expenditures in an effort to bring the tax rate well below the thirty dollar mark under normal conditions.
Charter Amendments. In my message one year ago I stat
ed that I would present, at the proper time, some amendments to the charter that were, necessary in my opinion. I kept my promise, and I prepared amendments and caused them to bo submitted to the state legislature. The preparation of those amendments involved an enormous amount of work as I examined ncar-
U^en an abnormal situation must be j '>' every charter in the state and some met, and a combination of deficien- w> o u t t h e 8 l a t e - Although strong ries and insufficient appropriations j 8 J objections were made to them the presented, and for which others arc i amendments passed a Republican as-responsible, such state of condition | s e m b , I y a n d a Democratic sonate Should be fearlessly and bravely unanimously. They were not adopt-
able delay, and the inconvenience of waiting in all kinds of weather'and other ill effects therefrom. After a careful consideration of all the facts, I am of the opinion that the city would be justified in expending"0lts share of the cost of the elimination of
The great question is, of course, what method should be pursued. One method would be to depress the l railroad tracks below the street level. A second method would be to depress j Broadway beneath " t h e railroad j tracks! A third way would be to ele- j vale Broadway over the railroad tracks.
I am in favor of the first method suggested -of depressing' the railroad tracks, considering it from a munlcl-, pal standpoint, but not fr6m an en-J glneering standpoint. In connection:| with this method, the necessity of the! Ulster & Delaware railroad to de-j press Its tracks would also have to f be considered. If its tracks were de-i pressed, it would also eliminate the ' Chester street, Foxhall avenue,! O'Reilly street, Prince street, Grand j street, Cornell street, O'Neil street and Downs street grade crossings. If thls-method was determined upon by the Public Service Commission, the West Shore railroad would have to:those mornings and commence to lower its tracks at a court at 10 o'clock, short distance above where It crosses O'Reilly street, a distance of a mile from Broadway.

The immediate conclusion reached, was that'German submarines had again becomo. busy in .retaiiation for the Christmas, raid of the British against Cuxhaven. .'••'-.The Formidable has been attached •to the home fleet and has been used both for patrol duty and to guard transports plying between English arid French ports. . • <.
