Inflation of City Budgets Fueled by Private Capital
Edward R. Boynton, new head of the American Real Estate Company, cites over 750000 spent by four private firms on Bronx improvements along Westchester Avenue and Southern Boulevard as a sign of rapid growth including five story rental properties near a subway. The Bureau of Municipal Research analyzes Board of Education figures for 1907–1909, arguing equalizing up inflates salaries and payrolls, making 1909 budgets appear larger than actual needs. The report highlights shifting payrolls and June base figures used to justify higher budgets while stressing taxpayer awareness of inflated baselines. The Greater New York Taxpayers Conference plans to press the Board of Education for explanations of budget deviations.
