DEEMED AN OUTRAGE.
MANY PROTESTS MADE AGAINST
THE TAX LEVY.
1t Is Considered to Be Extortionate-A
Democratic Auditor Needed Next
Year-What Citizens Think
of the Matter.

Every property-owner in this city, and
in every other incorporated city in this
county will have to pay 81 20 upon every
$1OO worth of taxable property he has in
Los Angeles county, to assist in sustain
ing the palatial government now hold
ing sway on court hill, in running an
other year.
Every ranch owner in the county will
have $1.45 to pay upon each 500 of the
assessed valuation of his ranch. To his
heavy burden, 25 cents is added in the
form of a road tax.
The rate OF 81. 20 and 81. .45 is phenom-
enally high, and is everywhere so re-
garded. About 40 business men were
interviewed by HERALD representative
yesterday, and not one could be found
who deemed that the rate fixed by the
board of supervisors was either Just,
equitable or reasonable.
Every merchant who yesterday raised
his voice in regard to the tax levy was
loud in his denunciation of the system
adopted by the county officers, whereby
it became necessary for them to employ
vast brigades of unnecessary clerks,
while the principals reveled in ease
their only effort being to figure on how
they could get another deputy.
AS to the 25 cents which has been
levied as road fund, every property
owner who was interviewed, and who
was affected by this tax, stated that he
would be perfectly willing to bear his
proportion of. the expense If he thought
that the money would be properly ex-
pended.
"But," said the gentleman, sit is
useless to give any money to the preeent
supervisors for any purpose. Where is
the money they have expended during
the past two years for roads, etc. !? It
has been so we'll placed that you cannot
trace dollar of it. In this respect it
very much resembles the coin that is
put out at primary election. No, in
deed, am not in favor of giving this
board of supervisors any of my money
to spend for roads or for any other pur-
pose."
Another strong protest was made on
all sides over the apportionment OF
funds as made by the board of super
visors aud county auditor. The belief
is general that the apportionment, as
printed in the HERALD yesterday, was
only made for the purpose of deceiving
the intelligent taxpayers. For instance,
$3.50. 900 is placed in the current expense
fund, and only $25. 900 in the salary
fund. 1t is easy for anybody to discern
why these two sums are SO dispropor-
tionate. 1t is for the purpose Of making
the taxpayer think that only the $25 900
of his money set aside for that purpose,
is to go for salaries. The facts are that
about $225, 1000 per annum is spent for
salaries in this county. 1t is impossible
to give exact figures, because no Demo-
crat has had sight Of the auditors books
since last they were doctored by Laute-
rio and a few other Republican officials.
It is about time, though, for change.
One Of the needs of the county is good
Democrat, competent and honest man,
in the auditors Office.
Toreturn, though, to the tax levy of
this year, as made by the board of su-
pervisors. 1t is outrageously high, and
is satisfactory to no one.

Yesterday morning the old case of w.
F. De Groot vs.. the city of Los Angeles
was finally tried and submitted to the
court. This is the case in which De
Groot is trying to get from the city
money he advanced to ex-Justice w. @.
Lockwood on one of his monthly salary
demands. He sold his demand for Sep
tember, 1890, for $l66 66, to De Groot.
When the latter attempted to collect,
Mayor Hazard shut down on it with one
of his most explicit vetoes. Lockwood
was very dilatory in making his month
ly statements to the city, and De Groot
found it very difficult matter to secure
any of the money advanced. Afterwards
Lockwood made tender of the money
he claimed was due the city, but it was
still held not to be sufficient. De Groot
sued the city for the full amount of the
demand, and the matter is now in the
hands of Judge Mckinley.
DIVORCE GRANTED.
Yesterday afternoon the divorce case
of Mrs. Ellen Dalton de Buxton We. Wal
ter de Buxton was tried before Judge
Wade, in department. three of the su-
perior court. The plaintiff and her ven
erable mother, Mrs. Dalton, were pres
ent, but the defendant was not. The
ground upon which the divorce was
port of the family. Mrs. de Buxton,
comely young matron, testified that she
had been married to the defendant in
1888, and that they had had five chill
dren. She said that her husband had
failed to support herself and children,
and that they had been obliged to de-
pend upon her mother for everything.
She also said that her husband was a
civil engineer, and very good one !;
that he made moneyvery easily, but had
his family.
Mrs. Dalton corroborated her daugh-
ter's testimony, and said that she had
had almost the entire care of her and
her children, and Mr.. Buxton as well.
In addition to that, he had received
from her and her daughter, at various
times, about $1,000 in money.
The court granted the decree upon
the showing, and gave the custody Of
the children to the wife, and ordered
that Mr.. de Buxton pay alimony in the
sum of $50 per month.
Court Notes.
Yesterday morning Judge Smith or
dered bench warrant to be issued for
the arrest OF Nicodemus Urquidee, who
has been out on $1,000 bail pending an
appeal to the supreme court. That trib-
unal having affirmed the judgment of
the superior court, in which he was con-
victed of burglary, the defendant will
now have his sentence OF imprisonment
in the penitentiary enforced.
Frank Morgan pleaded guilty
to burglary before Judge Smith,
and the court fixed the
crime as burglary in the first degree.
He was then sentenced to one year in
the penitentiary at San Quentin.
On motion of the district attorney the
charge of obtaining property under false
pretenses against E.. w. Gilbert, was
dismissed in department. one of the su-
