TO ASK STATE FOR

SUPERVISOR WILL APPEAL TO

Chairman o. w. Lonedon VIII Pre-

As an outcome of the recent trouble

Longdon of the board is preparing tc
| journey north next month to the meet.
ing of the state board Of equalization
and put in a petition from this county
for horizontal cut of .25 per cent on
all assessments.
The proposition to request the cut
was entered at the meeting of the
board yesterday, and in view of the
strenuous times of the equalization pc
riod, the members were only too glad
TO find some way to settle the difficulty.
According to a statement made by
member yesterday afternoon the
work of Assessor Ben Ward is not left
out of consideration nor do the super
visors consider him wrong in his esti-
mates.
The trouble, according to the board,
rests with the state, in that Los An
geles is taxed far higher in proportion
to its population than any other county
in the state, and it is to relieve this
condition that action is taken.
Former Attempt Failed
Three years ago clash occurred be-
tween the local board and the tax
payers. Some sort of relief from the
heavy assessment was attempted at
that time and a delegation attended
the meeting of the state board with a
strong petition for reduction.
The reduction was denied, but the
levy on the other counties was raised
slightly in order to even up conditions
little.
When the last meeting of the super
visors of Los Angeles county occurred,
and not only the big corporation law
yers but representatives from firms of
all classes applied for reduction, the
board considered a horizontal cut as
quick means of relief, but the men,
bers were informed by the district at
torney that such action could be taken
only by the state board of equalization.

Louisiana outside of New Orleans ha!
been reported in the last two or three
days.
It Is generally believed here thai
when the present sickness passes New
Orleans will not seek to regain the fruit
trade which has now been diverted tc
Mobile, unless the fruit companies are
willing to submit to regulations which
will make impossible the introduction
of fever. 1t is almost universally the
opinion that, important as this trade
has become, it is not sufficiently profit
able for the city to run again the risk
of recurrence of the present eX
perience.
Much distress is beginning to appear
among the italian population growing
out of the practical expulsion of the
fruit business from Louisiana on ac-
count of the quarantines and relief
work, and is one of the tasks which

Italians, out of employment. The
average Italian here has half dozen

that many to feed the head of the
family cannot long remain in idleness
without appealing to public charity.
Under the circumstances these Italians,
who are not in the fever district, are
asking that they be given employment

address all Italians in the city YER
bally and by circular asking them to

Several thousand dollars have been
