JAMES M CuR/Xy Decrmber 3,

The Editor, The Christmas Basket Fund, The Boston American, Boston, Mass.

My dear 3ir:--

It is a very great pleasure to continue the annual contribution of 1.00. to the Christmas Basket Fund.

The City of Boston at Christmas in 1.130 was the only large city in America in which, notwithstanding unemploment conditions, every needy family was supplied with A Christmas dinner.

If every individual who is at work or An a position to aid will contribute somsthing, regardless of how small or large the amount, it will be possible to maintain At Christmas 1231 the standard that was established at Christmas 1930.

The opportunity of bringing even a small measure or comfort into hearts that are saddened should be taken advantage of by everyone and it is my sincere wish that the fund raised this year may be the largest in the history of your splendid newspaper since this year the needs are greater then ever previously known.

lirorely yours,

Mayor.

Differenc'es of opinion exist between the leaders of the Building Trade?

It was said by the labor leader.i that every union mechanic exCept members of the carpenters' union, responded to the strike order which was necesaere ins" falai failuza fthe contractors to pay tne prevailing I wages.

Lawyer Attacks Statements in Abatement Case

Harold S. Davis of the law firm of Storey, Thorndike, Pahner & Dodge, who represented the property owners at 17-21 Hanover street at the recent tax, abatement proceedings before the board of tax appeals, takes issue with Corpora- tion Counsel Samuel Silverman concerning the valuation of the property and its sale in a statement issued last night. "I have no desire to go into the merits of the controversy between the mayor and the Boston Real Estate Exchange j as to valuation of Boston real estate, generally," said Mr. Davis. "Certain of the statements with reference to the sale of the Hanover street property made by the corporation counsel are, however, so utterly unwarranted, especially as regards the imputations which he casts upon the good faith of Mr. Dowling (John C. L. Dowling), that It would not be right to let them go unchallenged." He cites that the Hanover street property on April 1, 1930, was owned by five individuals as tenants in common, who in November, 1930, filed with the assessors an application for amendment, setting the value of the property at that time as $75,000. This was done on advice of Mr. Davis, he said, ''not because of any lack of confidence that a much lower valuation could be shown If the matter came to trial, but by way of indicating a figure which the owners would be willing to accept as a compromise in order to avoid trouble and expense of a protracted controversy." He points out thqt one of the owners, , who had half interest, died in January )f this year and Dr. Dowling was appointed administrator of her estate. The only sworn statement by Mr. Dowl- ing as to valuation of the property was in his inventory of the estate filed with the probate court in which he set the value of her interest in the estate at 116,000, Davis says. Mr. Silverman, in insinuating the iale of the property was made for some ulterior motive, is equivalent, Dr. Davis MR.

Today the full text is able for all business men and taxpayers to read. In asking four days ago."When can it be told?" we urged that open and frank publication was the only sound I course for the protection of Boston's Liminess against wasteful administration. Mayor Curley deserves commendation for now following that course, instead of seeking to prolong the specious protection given by mystery. His honor has gone further, and has admitted that the criticisms made by the Finance COMMISSiOn are largely justified. Its recommendations for reform; he declares his purpose to order adopted without delay. The city of Boston will, :at once confer with the best possible, pur- experts in order to reconstruct its chasing department along the lines of a soundly conducted business. Everyone , knows the great values and savings the which have been made possible for State of Massachusetts through the modern and capable business management of the Commonwealth's purchas- Com- ing office conducted by the State mission on Administration and Finance. There is no reason why City Hall's sn- nual expenditure of millions of dollars for goods and supplies cannot be equally well administered.
