Hiram E. Bryan, consultant for the Citizens City Planning and Housing Council, warned yesterday. The present and immediate future state of Rochester's finances, he told the Engineering Society at a Sagamore luncheon, prohibit the spending of any appreciable sum for capital improvements, such as would be undertaken in a post-war planning or any other kind of a planning program, if the cost is to he a direct or indirect charge on Rochester's property holders.

Further Conclusions Bryan. former assistant city engineer, also offered these further conclusions: 1. Real property owners of Rochester cannot continue to pay $40 prr $1,000 on the assessed value of their real estate for city and crunty government. 2. Assessed values of Rochester realty are too high and should be reduced to conform with market values.

3. The tax rate for real property in this1 city is too high and shoul.i be lowered materially to prevent further decentralization, or movement to suburban towns. Bryar advocated an immediate legislative program that would enable the city to participate in other revenues. These, he suggested, thould be earmarked for direct reduction of city government costs and services to the taxpayer, rather than having such additional revenue si go to additional upending. Included In nuch a legislative program, he suggested, might a law Riving the city power to regain home relief moneys when the economic status of recipients had improved to a point where this would be feasible.

Bryan ruled out a. sales tax, local countywide, as means of raising rw revenue, and declared both errloyer and employe oppose a payroll tax. He favored: Wants State Tax Boost 1.

3. State maintenance and construction of bridges within city limits. 4. Revision of tax exemptions taxes on acquisitions made by tax free organizations frozen at the level at which, they stood when acquired. "All of these proposals," Bryan said, "are supplementary to anything so far considered to reduce municipal debt and are urged for the sole purpose of reducing the tex bill cf the city taxpayer, so that in all fairness and equity, city realty can become as desirable and as profitable to own from a tax standpoint as any suburban area."

HOLC Requests Continuation for Planned 8 Years Washington CP) Resnondinc- Ai DM SAL L-J OF USED SEWING MACHINES Seen Losing Washington rfiTV The whole question of Italian internal politics has come up for review in London and Washington and there would be no surprise here if King Victor Emanuel were on the way out. Thus far there has been no official" announcement to that effect. When President Roosevelt was asked yesterday for comment on reports that the "Administration was "about to give up" on the King, he replied that the Administration is as firmly determined as ever that the Italians shall decide for themselves whether they want Victor Emanuel or anybody else as their ruler. Secretary of State Hull also was asked whether he could make any statement on the situation, but replied there was nothing he could say which would be helpful at this time.

In general, however, the American government is believed to have come around to a position where it will not stand In the way when and if the time comes for the King to step down. Opponents of Allied Italian policy have charged the State Department with helping maintain the King in power, but to whatever extent this may have been true in the past, it is understood not to be true any longer.
