that a noticeable GOODNESS" between the
Austrian embassy d Con5tant1nopie and
the porte had resulted from the highland

sina toward the agent at that port of the
Austrian Lloyd Steamship Company, Il
merchant named Braz7afolii. 1t appears
that he first incurred Turkish suspicion of

cheap passages by the Austrian Lloyd
Steamship Company's vessels: Last month
the Turkish authorities expelled him from
Mersina.
The Austrian government protested.
wnereupon the porte allowed Brazzafolli
to return to Mersina. When he came to
land the local Turkish officials matreated
him; not content with that they also in

The Yosemite Road.
TDixon Tribune.1

For some time past the Record I'm
ion" has devoted considerable space to
good roads, correctly advocating them
as important factors in State develop
ment. It's advocacy of the good roads
system has been of no small value to
the State of California. 1t is now la
boring to secure the construction of a
good permanent highway through the
territory of the forest reserve of the
Government and into the Yosemite Val
ley, that should be free to all the peo-
pie, af1ording economic and compara-
lively easy access to that greatest and
most attractive Of our natural Won
ders. 1t is proposed that the road
shall he constructed and maintained
by the Federal Government, and should
not be the result of the purchase of any
of the existing roads as has been sug-
gested to Congress. In order that the
subject may be properly presented at
the approaching session of Congress,
the Record Union" urges our citi-
zens TO an expression of the need by
petition indorsed by all who believe
that such a road should be built and
maintained by the Government.

STATE TAX RATE 81 CENTS.
FIXED YESTERDAY BY THE
STATE EQUALIZERS.
SacFamento's Assessment Roll Re-
duced Ten Per Cent-Other
Counties Reduced.

The State tax rate for 1897 has been
fixed at 81 cents on each $100 worth
OF assessable property.
The State Board Of Equalization
made a squirt yesterday and finished
Its labors, SO far as the tax levy Tor
1897 is concerned.
AS soon as the members got down
to business the question of making re
ductions on the rolls of interior coun-
ties other than those which were re-
duced at Wednesdays session was
taken up, and it was found that Beam
er and MorehOuse had labored faith
fully and well for an equitable assess
ment for Sacramento County, as com
pared with that of San Francisco.
A delegation from the local Cham
ber Of Commerce was to have ap-
peared before the board during the
afternoon for the purpose OF present
ing arguments why Sacramentos as
sessment roll ought to be reduced ~
per cent. but Assessor Berkey did not
believe in long waits. He was on hand
when the meeting opened and at the
mention Of Sacramento County he was
wide awake. In a brief, terse style
he put in his plea for a reduction in the
county roll, and when he sat down the
board was ready to settle the matter.
There We're no long-winded argu-
ments. and on a simple motion that
SacramentO's roll be reduced 10 per
cent. the Secretary called the roll and
four ayes were recorded, they being
Morehouse, Beamer. Arnold and Col
gan, against the single, stolid no OF
Equalizer Chesebrough, who was loyal
to san Francisco to the bitter end.
So it happens that for the next few
days Assessor Berkey and his deputies
viii be busy remodeling Sacramento
rolls to conform TO the reduction made
by the State Board.
The Auditors return for Sacramento
County fixed the assessable valuation
of all property, exclusive of railroads
at So 800. 1876, and from this amount
less money and solvent credits-the re-
duction viii be made In other words

mento County property at about S31,-
000,000
Then the equalizers passed on to 9TH
er counties, and motion succeeded mo-
tion in rapid succession until the rolls
of the following counties were reduced
II per cent: Inyo, Lake. Modoc, Sierra
and Placer
The afternoon session, while short,
was strictly business, and in the end
the tax levy for 1897 was fixed, the rate
on all property, including railroads, be-
ing ol cents on each 500.
The total of the rolls returned by
the Auditors of the several counties
in the State was 81, 132, 14S, 1S1. The
total reduction made by the State
Board of Equalization was $685. .995,-
694. This amount, together with the
usual > per cent. allowed for delin-
quent taxes and university mortgages.
being subtracted from the returns, and
the amount of railroad valuations be-
ing added thereto, fixes the amount of
assessable property in the State at
1,077 ,407 .232
The amount of funds necessary to
run the State Government for the en-
suing year, as figured by the last Leg
islature, is $5010,000, and it will take,
on the equalized assessments. just 40
cents on each 500 to raise the sum.
To this amount must be added the
per cent. tax for the university tax OF
California, which brings the State rate
up to II cents.
The rate was fixed by Governor
Budd and the last Legislature at 42.3
cents, and their estimate fell short a
trifie less than 8 cents.
