As usual when the weather is very cold there was a marked increase in the number of fires yesterday. The firemen were kept busy responding to alarms. There were twenty-three from midnight on Friday until 9 o'clock last night. Some of the fires were due to plumbers or householders thawing out frozen water pipes, and some were due to overheated furnaces or oil stoves. None was serious.

Commissioner of Accounts Leonard M. Wallstcin yesterday submitted a report to Mayor MUchel. calling attention to the fact that no taxes have ever been paid on the Atlantic Basin property between India Wharf and Clinton Wharf, although the taxes which have accrued on the assessments on this property since 1903 now amount to more than $400,000 with interest. Mr. Wallstein says that the basin is the property of the New York Dock Company.

The dock company officials, however, deny that they have title to tho land under water, which comprises the basin. Furthermore, they assert that the basin was improperly assessed as Brooklyn property, when legally it Is part of the Borough of Manhattan and should have been assessed as Manhattan property. Physically the land is within the bulkhead line of the Brooklyn water front. In his report Commissioner Wallstein recommends that legislation be passed making the basin a legal as well as a physical part of the Brooklyn water front, so it may be assessed as Brooklyn property, and also urges that the Corporation Counsel be instructed to determine the city cannot bring suit for the $400,000 taxes which have never been paid. Officials of the company insist that the basin Is a public highway and even though its docks and piers WIN PRIZES IN JUNIOR EAGLE THRIFT CONTEST The following boys and girls are the prize winners in the Junior Eagle Thrift Contest: First prize Ethel Pouch Geis.

Second prize Walter F. Dantz-scher. Third prize Phillip Geis. Tho contest was conducted for the purpose of teaching boys and girls to save their money instead of spending it foolishly, and also to aid them to help Uncle Sam in borrowing tho money to finance tho war for democracy. Those boys and girls who were able to purchase only a small amount of stamps will not be unrewarded.

Five credits will be awarded for every $1 in stamps purchased. Besides this, the money they have saved Is theirs, although they have given it to their country, and it will be returned to them with Interest in five years. DEATHS SMITH On December 28. 1917. in New York City, ELOUISE P.

It is expected the borough will attain its full quota of 100,000 members.

In addition to tho sum received through memberships, $1 5,000 in donations has been turned in and $50,000 worth of Hed Cross Christmas seals have been sold, tho receipts from which go to tho fund for the prevention and cure of tuberculosis. All the large organizations and Institutions of the borough have given almost unlimited co-operation. In the public schools, more than 22,000 members were enrolled. The list of business organizations, 100 per cent, of whose employees tend officers have joined the Red Cross, includes tho Kresge Ten-Cent Stores, Austin Nichols the Burt Khoe Company, W. Woolworth, the Blyn Shoe Company, Montgomery- Ward the American Can Company, G.

IJ. Williams the New York Telephone Company and the Fire and I'ollce departments. Two hundred membership booths were distributed throughout the city and. there were 500 volunteers in addition to many paid workers. Among those who assisted the drivo especially are Kear Admiral Usher, the Merchants and Manufacturers Association of Bush Terminal, the Masonic lodges, many churches and their auxiliary organizations, the Boy Scouts the Y.

M. C. A. and the Y. W.

C. and all the stores and banks. This national campaign has placed the Red Cross in a position to carry out, to a great extent, Its object, namely: to care for our sailors and soldiers on duty wherever and whenever relief is, needed; to shorten the war by strengthening the morals of the allied peoples and armies, and to lay a foundation for a permanent peace. To this end $20,600,000 has been already appropriated for use in France. The lied Cross has fifty fully equipped base hospitals and forty-five ambulance companies, twelve of which are already located in France.

They have eight naval station hospital units, one ambulance ship, which was a special donation; four mobile laboratory units, 4,000 trained nurses, 2,000 of whom are working in Ku-rope, and 2,000 doing teaching and committee work in this country. One of the most important functions of the Red Cross, from now on, will be to care for American prisoners in Germany. This work is most important, because of the German policy of giving to the prisoners of war food inadequate to keep men in good health. Although the National campaign ends this week there is still need of more members and donations of money. There Is also demand for many more knitted sweaters and muf- Deutsche Zeitung captions its report! Cemetery.

"In addition, the city has in other relations succeeded In removing all question as to the validity or regularity of assessments by applying to the legislature for and obtaining curative acts. It does not seem improbable that the Legislature would, if requested, have enacted a statute amending the charter so as clearly to define the boundaries between tho boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn beyond every reasonable doubt, with the result of validating the assessments in question." Commissioner Wallstein's was begun following a request by-Tax Commissioner Shipley to Mayor Mltehel to have all the facts and circumstances connected with the assessments on the Atlantic Basin and the cancellation of the taxes on the property examined and investigated. PLANS FOR REBUILDING WAR-RAVAGED BELGIUM Washington, December 29 Speedy rehabilitation of Belgium's economic structure after the war is being planned by prominent Belgians, now in France, according to cable dispatches received at the Belgian legation here. Representatives of the commercial, industrial and laboring interests of Belgium recently gathered in Paris under the leadership of M.

Hymans, King Albelt's minister of economic affairs, to discuss means for restoring tho industrial machine crippled by the German invasion. Arrangements were discussed for rebuilding the machinery ruthlessly destroyed by the Kaiser's troops, for obtaining sufficient quantities of raw materials, and for assembling and placing on a sound basis the nation's shattered finances. The movement, said the dispatches, has the united support of the labor element. Entente at Brest-Ldtovsk, and other Pan-German organs exhibit dissatisfaction to the highest degree. The newspapers of the Left nrei hopeful in their comment, but, not sanguine.

Theodor Wolff, editor the Berlin Tageblatt, utters a against over optimism. 1 ha rest i press maintains a reserved altituU' arc inclosed by and tend to inclose the basin, it has no greater title to the basin than it has to any other water highway used by its boats. The com-panv has paid all its taxes on the pier's and warehouses surrounding the basin itself, its otllfcials state, although the assessments on these arc believed to be excessive. Company rrotrertctl Irvy. Mr.

Wallstein states in his report that the basis "is unique in that it is the only large body of land under water within tho City of New York comprised in one ownership 'or control." Prior to 1903 it was not assessed for taxation, but then its value was appraised as $840,000. The company protested this assessment on the ground that the basin was owned bv the State and so exempt from taxation. On April 29, 1903, there was an opinion from the Corporation Counsel that "while it was possible that the premises in question were not owned by the Dock Company, they were not owned by the State and were not exempt from taxation as State property," Mr. Wallstein states. In December, 1909, the company renewed its plea for the repeal of the assessments and a new opinion iwas sought from the Corporation Counsel by the Tax Board.

"In reply thereto a draft opinion was prepared in the Law Department to the effect that the title was in the New York Doc Company and not as claimed by it In the State," Mr. Wallstein states. "Neither this draft opinion nor any other was ever forwarded to the Tax Department, the then Corporation Counsel having directed, on April 27, 1910, that tho opinion be held in abeyance until the matter was pushed by the company. The Tax Department appears to have madc.no further effort to secure tho opinion which it requested but continued to place a substantial annual assessment upon the basin until 1915." Mr. Wallstein then states that in settling a dispute over the tentative assessments on all the dock company's property in 1911 and 1913, the company secured reductions in tho assessments on property on which it was paying taxes by consenting to increases In the assessment, on the Basin, on which it was not paylnK taxes and on which it claimed it should not pay taxes.

Call It Manhattan Property. In October, 1912, the city brought proceedings foreclose the tax lier on tho Basin for unpaid taxes amounting to $102,514 with Interest. As its defense to this action the company asserted that the property was Manhattan property and as such improperly assessed as Brooklyn realty. On April 2, 1913, the Acting Corporation Counsel advised the Controller that "the points thus taken by the defendants are sound, that the premises are within the Borough of Manhattan and tho County of New York" and that the taxes had been improperly assessed, Mr. Wallstcin reports.

The Acting Corporation Counsel also recommended the cancellation of tho taxes and the discontinuance of tho city's suit.

ners. The next step In the development of the membership of the American Red Cross will be to encourage tho enrollment of the 840,000 public school children of Greater New York in the Red Cross Junior Department. Many schools have already been enrolled. A check for $62,719.66, representing the entire gross receipts of the horse show held in Madison Square Garden, from November 12 to 17 was received yesterday by the New York County Chapter from James McLean, president of the National Horse Show Association. This is the largest contribution the chapter has ever received from any benefit.

More than 20,000,000 members in the Nation at large and more than 50,000 In Manhattan alone was the score In the Nation-wide Red Cross membership drive last night. Manhattan went over the hnjf-million top by a narrow margin. Actual figures have not yet been compiled. STOPS ARMY EXECUTIONS Washington, Decembei' 29 President Wilson has prohibited the execution of any more American soldlors except in General Pershing's forces abroad before the sentences of the courts martial have been received in Washington. Heretofore this has not been necessary in war time, but the President has made tho rule that it may be made doubly sure that no Injustice Is done.

Thirteen negro soldiers of th.e Twenty-fourth Infantry were recently executed for rioting at Houston, without review at Washington. No fault has been found in the verdict of the court or their sentence, but it has been felt advisable to have death penalties reviewed by the War Department before execution. WOni.

Wallstcin states. "It will be noted that the cancellation of taxes and liens made pursuant to the Corporation Counsel's opinion in 1913 applied not only to the taxes for 1903 to 1908 inclusive, which amounted with interest to $102,514.77. and which were involved in litigation at that time, but that in addition it applied to further taxes amounting to about $100,000 with interest, for the years 1903 to 1912 inclusivcwhlch were not In litigation. "The legal position taken in that opinion, namely, that the assessments were invalid for the reason, as stated, that the property lay in the Borough of Manhattan as defined by the charter and not in the borough of Brooklyn, in which borough it had been assessed may be sound. Such study as I have been able to make of that question, however, convinces me that It is far from being free of doubt as a technical proposition of law, while as a matter of common sense it seems absurd to maintain that land under water within the bulkhead line on the Brooklyn shore is notwithstanding located within the boundaries of the Borough of Manhattan for purposes of taxation.
