Attorney Lane and in all likelihood the
Board of Supervisors will at next Mon
days meeting refer the disputed point
to Lane for his written opinion thereon.
Dodge also points to the fact that in 1892,
when the State board raised San Fran
cisco's assessment 10 per cent, the raise
was entered in red Ink in the column re-
served for the State tax and the city s
rate was collected on the lower valuation
as returned by the Assessor.
1.-THE whole difficulty" says Assessor
Dodge appears to be that San Fran
cisco is the only county which nxes the
city tax levy before the State levy Is
adopted. The charter requires that the
city rate be adopted on the last Monday
in June The State law provides that the
levy for city and State purposes shall be
made on the third Monday in september
If the latter course were followed the
city would fix the rate so that no more
money than is required for the expenses
of the city government could be collected
in taxes"
If the Board of Supervisors in declaring
the combined city and State rates on the
third Monday Of September to comply
with the State law has the power to so
reduce the rate of 1.076 that only the ap-
preparation in the budget will be collected
on the increased valuation then one val
uation could be used. This Is another
point for legal Interpretation by the City
Attorney, that is, as to whether the rate
can be reduced so as not to compel prop
erty owners to pay in S1,200,000 to the city
treasury which the city never intended
should be done.

The finest contour of a female face the

now known, is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the

burrowing are called dandrun. To cure
dsndruf permanently. then, and to stop
falling hair. that germ must be killed.

AFFECTS STATE TAX ONLY.

Assessor Dodge also consulted with City
Attorney Lane and both officials agreed
that the raise of the State Board of
Equalization, should it stand, will affect
the State tax only and the city rate will
be based on the lower valuation as re-
turned by Assessor Dodge. Dodge and
Secretary Colgan of the State Board of
Equalization agreed that such would be
the case. Dodge's valuation was $47,-
641. 64S, which was raised by the Board of
Equalization to $545, S55 1924.
Should the increased valuation be ac-
cepted for both city and State purposes
it will mean the collection of additional
taxes on $11S,213,676, the amount of the
increase, which at $1.076 on the 800 as
sessed valuation will result in putting
about 81, 200.0 600 in the city treasury. for
which absolutely no provision was made
in the budget adopted last June by the
Board of Supervisors.
From investigations so far pursued by
Auditor Baehr that official is of the opin-
ion, however, that but one valuation
should be entered on the assessment roll.
Baehr points to a Supreme Court
decision in the case of f. ]. Baldwin
against the Tax Collector of Los
Angeles County to recover illegal taxes,
which recites that the State Board
of Equaliza ton has power to increase
or lower the assessment roll of a county
so as to affect taxes for county purposes.
and further that the manifest intention
of the law is that when the State board
raised the total value of the assessment
roll Of Los Angeles County 1t was done
for all taxable purposes as we'll for cOun-
~ as for State
