Tax Rate Jumped When Mr Smith became Major in Jinuary, 1016, the city tax rate was $1. It had been jumped three times since then, and is now $2.15 on every $100 of assessed realty The Smith administration, without doubt, was the costliest ever in power In Philadelphia. The retiring Jlayor is the lat to serve under the iiullitt bill, isKdwin II. l'itler was the first. A comparison of the expenditures of the Filler administration, 1887 to 1801, 'hows that the city's annual expendi tures under Mayor Smith were cjunil mple those under Mayor Fitler. The steady growth of the city since that time does not soften the compari son, for the reason that the Smith ex penditures leaped far above those of his immediate predecessor, the lnte Hudolph Blinlcnburg. In tho first year of the Smith admin istration the excess of per capita ex penses over receipts leaped to 54.75, a mult which led to the floating of enor mous bond issues, giving the expiring toinistratiou a record in that respect jd'lnioi8?52.41.C "CCSS S 54,"' a Tinoiesaie creation of jobs saddled farther expenses on the city.

Information brought out dur ing the last twenty-four hours, today led authorities investigating the killing of J. Stanley Brown, ten days ngo, to give serious consideration to the theory that robbery and not jealousy was the motive. It has been definitely established that Brown a few weeks before his death withdrew from a Detroit trust com- nanv $12,000 iu stocks and bonds and 5.i(M) in cash. Ao record of what dis position he made of thesc has been located. The belief is expressed that he converted tho securities into cash nnd carried it iu a belt, which he is known to have worn. The belt has never Been located. In lesuming the secret investigation lie hegan yesterday, Alexander J. Groes beck, attorney general of Miehienn. an nounced today mat every taxicab driver in Mount Clemens will be summoned for examination. Others to be called, late today, ate Mrs, Cecil Beatrice Vester, held on a warrant ehnrging her with killing Brown; Miss Gladys Sum mit, a chum of Mrs. Vester, and Lloyd Pievost, cousin of the slain man's widow The preliminary examination of Mrs. Vester on the murder charge, set for this morning, has been indefinitely post poned. It was stated this morning that Ben Sorenson, a Camp Custer soldier, who Mrs. Vester declares can substan tiate her story that she was in Battle Creek at the time of Brown's death, will univc here lnte today.
