POMONA, Oct. 1.-Mr. F. K. Adams,
president of the board of education in
this city, kindly gave the HERALD re-
porter the following pointers in regard
to the school tax levy. Hesaid in part :
"The people do not seem to understand
why Pomona's school tax rate appar-
emily is 90 much higher this year than
/ last, but it is co conduct our schools for
year and half, instead of one year,
as heretofore.
"The facts of the case are these
Last years rate was 20 per cent, levied
by our city councillor one years school
purposes, or from July to July. This
year, by new law, the levy was made
by the board of supervisors. The law
which called for the change also makes
the year from January to January, so
the demand this year was for sufficient
means to conduct the schools for 18
months, instead of one year, or from
last July through December, 1898.
cat last years rate of 20 per cent, our
tax for these IL months would be 80 per
cent; but the HERALD. in it's report of
the board of supervisors apportionment
of taxes, states the rate Is 35 per cent.
The figure must have gotten in by
mistske-a typographical error; for 35
per cent would result in $6576 instead OF
$500, as needed.
ABOUT the 10 per cent rate, aside
from the special tax of 30 per cent do
not know; that 10 per cent may be the
sinking fund for the bond. In making
our demand we advised with our city
attorney. and also District Attorney
McLachlan, on account of that maxim,
BE cure you are right, and then go
matter, and l know the facts OF the
CASE"
NOTES.
Rev. c. F. Loops bay horse had just
been harnessed to the, phaeton this
morning, when another horse came
bounding out of the stable toward him /;
this was too much for the bay, and he
started on a trot down Geary street,
which would not have resulted in any
damage to the buggy had he not turned
off into Main street, near Aston's under
taking parlors. The old Holt avenue
car tracks caused the buggy to overturn.
The horse began to run then, and
smashed it pretty badly, attracting a
large crowd.
