The immedinle problem of the tailrnnds his been adjusted. There will be no strike. The settlement has been fore"d. nn we said it would be forced, by public opinion xpres?ed through the medium of the liailrend Laber Beard. Neither side quit cold.

The settlement i therefore only partial. Beth groups are still at dagger' point. But there ought te be comfort for the gen eral public and reassurance for the future in the extraordinary moral victory achieved by the Federal Government through the Laber Beard.

The city's budget -makers, the Mayer nnd Council, will this enr make the usual ap propriation te the Sinking Fund. It will approximate X4.000.fl00. presumably. This is separate and apart from interest charges en the city's indebtedness. If this appropriation were eliminated from the budget estimete the tax rate for Ilt'Jl! would be reduced bv an additional twenty cents below the proposed llftv-cent reduction by Council : nn r.sesment for V.V22 of .51.4.-..

At pr-ent !t is estimated rhar there are etwee,, S4.000.000 and S.'.OOll.OOO in these excess surplus nsets in possession of the beard. The exact amount canner be dell-nifelj- seated because of rlie msteiy which envelops the handling of these millions. Te Ficvure a reduction of the ta rate as outlined it is enh necessnrv for Council in preparing th "uidget te reduce the ap propriation te the Sink.'ng Fund te an in in signifiennr amount, nt the same time direst ini; the CommisMeneis te utilize their excess surplus in lieu nf the apprepi inrien.

The disclosure of the frniids came about by incident, when an honest bookkeeper took charge of the accounts of an ngent of the gang who had been killed bv the over turning of n sleigh., The looting of the citj began in earnest with the passage of n new charter of the city in 170. It cost Tweed $1,000,000 te gel the charter through the Legislature. He would have paid mere if It had been neces san . The charter put the control of t'ie money of the citj in the linnds of a Beaid of Spe cial Audit.

This levy was raised te S." per cent after the new charter went into effect.
