| Whereas, BY the unusual and unprecedented large

storage in the various grain centers of California
something like 100000 tons OF wheat awaiting ship
ment to the foreign markets and whereas, the
greater part of this grain is storage within the
corporate limits OF several cities and towns, and I'M
der the circumstances cannot be removed before the
first day OF March next ensuing, and therefore. in
addition TO the State and county tax, under the ex
listing laws it will be subject to municipal taxation
by the authorities Of the cities wherein it is stored
thereby subjecting the owners to extra and oner
tax not Just in equity or principle and one that
promises to result in great injury both to indvidu
ais and the municipalities concerned, for the reason
that the grain in question really in course
of transportation to market and while in storage is
only awaiting opportune time for shipment to its
final destination and the levy of the above men
toned municipal tax al this time may possibly
cause forced sales and the throwing the market
OF larger lot gram, breaking down the present
low prices resulting IN loss to the producing com
munty OF this State amounting in the aggregate to
millions of dollars and inuring to the benefit of
