May 21. —Priceless docu ments. for which historians have search ed for many years, have been found, cov ered w+fh dust, in a drawer full of an cient Christmas tree ornaments at St. .1 nines Lutheran ('hnrch, 7,‘ird Street and j Madison Avenue.

Jus tus 1* a.ckner. “The first clergyman to be regularly ordained in the Western World.” Many other historic records of the Lutheran Church in the Colonial period were found with Justus Falckuer’s or dination papers. According to'Rev. Wm. I F. Sunday. l*h. D., pastor of St. James Church, no adequate explanation has been reached as to how they came to be placed in the drawer, but it is assumed That some one not knowing their value put them there shortly after the erection of the present St. James, about 35 years ago. The last prior record of the ex istence of several of the documents was when Rev. Wm. Berkemneyer, on tak ing charge of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church at Broadway and Rector Street in 172.*. listed them as part of the papers of that church. l)r. Sunday has had the papers placed in a vault, and a historical committee is at work appraising the effect of the find upon the known history of the Co lonial period.

"This five per cent, reduction,” con tinued the governor, “should therefore be applied to your biennial and quar terly estimates now called for. For example, if your total appropriation for the fiscal year 1925-26 is SIOO,OOO. you will deduct five per cent., or $5,000, leav ing a net balance of $95,000 upon which you will base the bi#inial estimate and also the allotment request for the first quarter.” Going further intocdetails, the gover nor. in his statement, , said : “The following summary will indicate the method of arriving at the pro rata reduction: “First—The total appropriations for ,the fiscal year of 1925-26. of $12,937,362. less total interest, sinking funds and bond redemptions of $2,866,844, leaves $10,070,518. “Second—The total estimated reve nues (as revised) for the fiscal year 1925- 26. less total interest, sinking funds and bond redemptions of $2,866,844, aggre gate $9,558,844 as the net amount avail able for pro rata distribution. “Third—The total revenue available of $9,558,844 divided by the total net ap propriations of $10,070,518 equals ap proximately 95 per cent, which will bo available as of July 1. 1925. “To apply this to your own case, it will be necessary in tiie light of the latest returns and estimates, for you to reduce your, appropriation only 5 per cent .instead of 7 per cent, as originally estimated. This per centage will be subject to subsequent increase or de crease as determined by revenue during the year; but on the estimate herewith submitted, you will apply a reduction of 5 per cent.” In conclusion, the governor asked the earnest co-operation of departments, in stitutions and agencies and urged the heads of these to help expedite the filing of estimates.
