The strike was declared in behalf of more than 500 members of the association by the executive committee of the unit and will not be called off, according to the announcement, until the water rates are again decreased. The strike was considered several weeks ago when the bill authorizing the water tax was first suggested by the city administration and its financial advisers, Under the decision of the executive committee, the home owners are pledged to refuse to pay any taxes to the city, including levies on real estate. According to the civic workers they feel it is unfair for the city officials to additional taxes on property owners who, they assert, are already burdened and unable in many cases to meet their present financial obligations.

It is pointed out by the association members the first taxes due the city fall in November and unless the water tax is dropped they will not pay any of the levies. In communication to Mayor O. 'Brien the taxpayers declare they will seek the support of other home owners and residents in other sections of Brooklyn and New York City at large. It is the belief of the association, of which N. A.

Sahadi is president, that they can force the Mayor to reverse himself on the water tax if they can gain the a aid and support of other civic groups and workers.
