TRINITY COUNTY REDEMPTION FUND" Mr..
Bates has framed and caused The Assembly pas
sage of a bill authorizing the Board of Supcrvi-
sors to order special additional tax of one half
Of one per cent. on property in this county,
which, together with sixty per cent. of Foreign
Miners licenses, shall be set apart as /" Redcmp-
tiOn Fund"
The Legislator argues that Although the
rate OF taxation is less in this than in most other
counties, the debt being, also, comparatively
SMALL both must inevitably increase to oppressive
proportions If not provided against in time. lie
believes that by this provision Trinity county
will soon be enabled to pay cash for her expenses
and thus reduce The price at which public service
shall be performed. A similar act for Shasta
county differing only in that the whole of For
eign Miners licenses is so appropriated there's
declared to be satisfactory to tax payers. The
disparity is based on the fact that Shasta county
derives $1,000 from the sale of Foreign Miners
licenses, while Trinity receives over $4,000 from
the same source"
The bill is expected to pass the Senate; we
shall print it in the number succeeding.
