LOWER TAX RATE
MAY Be LEVIED
FINANCE COMMITTEE MAY so
RECOMMEND
ARE TRIMMING ESTIMATES
Revenue insufficient for Requirements
Of Departments and knotty Prob
lem Is Being Considered In
Executive Sessions

Members Of the finance committee of
the council have begun work in earnest
on the problem Of making both ends
meet in the revenue and expenses of the
city government.
Several executive sessions of the
committee were held yesterday in the
council committee rooms and in City
Auditor schwaebe's office, during
which the heads of several of the de-
partments were called in.
While the members of the committee
decline to talk, their report will be
ready for the council next Monday and
will be made public at that time. 1t is
expected this report will not only con-
tain the allowances to each depart
ment, but also a recommendation re-
garding the tax rate for the coming
year.
1t is generally believed throughout
the city hall that the rate will be re-
duced ten or fifteen cents this year, de-
spite the fact that the city is in need
of funds. The rate prescribed by the
charter Of one dollar on every 500 of
taxable property will bring in a reve &.
nue. of about $1,57O. 900, or $27OOOO more
than last year.
Trimming Is Necessary
Aside from taxes the city has a reve-
nue. of $1,2OO.O00 derived from licenses,
water and other sources. OF this $780,
900 comes from the water department
and this year that department will
have to use the entire sum to take
care of bond payments and extensions
in the system. This leaves but $500, 900
to add to the $3.50, 900, making a total
estimated revenue of $1,870,000, out of
which the charter says the general
running expenses of the city must be
paid.
According to estimates of the heads
of departments it should cost about
SO, 100000 to run the city during the
coming year. They cannot be allowed
this amount and how to cut the ap-
portionments and make the total just
half what the heads of these depart
ments ask is the question that is wor-
rying the council. The trimming must
be done so as to do the least harm
and, if possible in such way that the
city's business will not suffer
For the past two years money OBJ
| tanned from bond taxes has been used
| to defray the general expenses of the
city, but this is contrary to the char
ter and the Legislators say it must
| cease. So it is made certain that, re-
gardless of the tax rate, the city must
get along on $1,S7O,OOO for general ex-
penses.

WIDOW BEGINS FIGHT
FOR HUSBANDS ESTATE

The first step in what promises to
be a long and bitter legal battle for
the possession of the Louis Riviere es-
tate was taken yesterday when Mrs.
Louis Riviere, the widow asked that
action in probating the will be taken
Friday.
The matter will be heard before
Judge Wilbur in department two of the
superior court and three claims have
already been entered.
Louis Riviere died July T. leaving an
estate valued at over $4,000, consisting
principally of a twenty-eight-ac
ranch near the southwest corner of
Jefferson street and Western avenue.
His only heirs were his wife, to whom
he had been married five years, two Of
her children by former marriage and
a brother and sister. Immediately pre-
told his wife he had willed all his prop
erty to her and appointed her adminis-
tratrix. He further ordered her to
draw $1,000 from his account in the bank
and place it to her credit.
When a will in the wife's favor was
looked for the only one that could be
found was in the possession of Fritz
Bachman, who asserted he had been
appointed administrator. This will
gave all the property to the wife. An
other will of former date was found
which gave half the property to the
wife and the remainder to the brother
John.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-17

contract extending over twenty years
was made by which the Western Union
Oil company agreed to pay Careaga or
his heirs one-tenth of the sum realized
by them on the product of the land.
The company now has thirty wells in
only $40 acres, while the remainder of
the property is said to contain vast
petroleum resources. The company
now delivers $4,000 barrels of oil a
month and is under contract, supposed
ly with the Standard, to furnish that
company 100000 barrels within the
next two years. The legal game is
we'll worth the candle.
"Careaga died at Santa Barbara in
April 1908, his demise taking place so
suddenly that his last wish to make a
will was not granted him. Immediate
ly the heirs became at outs as to the
disposition of the property. They re-
fused to recognize Eloisa as their full
sister, although the father had never
shown any other disposition than to
place them on an equality with her.
Carried to Courts
There was no disposition on the part
of Mrs. de Sammann to bring the ques-
ton into the courts, but this she did
only when she saw no other alterna-
tive"
One of the unusual features of the
case is that of the discovery of an i'm
portant witness, whom the plaintiff has
sought since the suit was entered,
nearly two years ago. His residence
was sought throughout the state, but
the search met with failure. He was
found a month ago, his residence for
some time being within block of the
De Sammann home. By a mistake in
the Los Angeles directory in the inter-
change of initials his identity was eff
fectually hidden. De Sammann and
the man who is to be of such impor-
tance to the plaintiff met frequently
on the street car, where through con-
versation the identity of the long lost
witness was made known.

ALLEGES HER HUSBAND
BELONGS TO ANOTHER
Woman Seeks Divorce Because George
W. Peaehy Has wife From Whom
He Is Not Legally Separated

Mrs. Alice M. Peachy filed suit yes
terday for the annulment of her mar
riage to George w. Peachy, alleging
that her husband had never been
divorced from former wife.
While the charge is practically that
of bigamy no criminal prosecution can
be had, as the woman refuses to ap-
pear against her husband and asserts
that an allulment of the marriage is all
she desires.
The couple we're married in San
Diego February IA, 1902, and have two
children Alice and Juanita. Mrs
Peachy alleges that she recently
learned that her husband had not been
divorced from his first wife, Helen
Peachy.
She asks the custody of the two chill
dren and an alimony allowance.

TRADE PROSPECTS.
Reports From All Leading Cities Are
Fairly Satisfactory.

NEW YORK, February 3.-Branch offices
of r. G. Dun G. Co., at all leading cities of
the United States. report business pro-
weather disturbances that are expected at
this season. Practically every section, ex-
cept the south, has improved steadily, but
the effort to hold back cotton has seriously
checked all branches of business in that
part of the country.
At Philadelphia. carpet mills report
fewer orders; mills and mines are busy at
ter than year ago at Pittsburg, and
manufacturers busy, but labor troubles in
building lines threaten, and retail business
improves.
Caution retards operations on account of
cotton prices at Charleston; tendency to
hold cotton delays trade at Atlanta; grain
exports are large at New Orleans but re-
tail trade is only fair; trade in wearing ap-
parel at st. Louis has improved; cold
weather has retarded wholesale trade at
Kansas City; clothing manufacturers at
Cleveland have large orders for spring de-
livery: wholesale dry goods are more active
at Cincinnati; factories are running full
time; weather interferes with distribution
and outdoor work at Chicago, packing
houses are very busy and manufacturing
lines well engaged: business is active and
the outlook favorable at st. Paul; season.
able weather stimulates the movement of
merchandise at Minneapolis; Improvement
in retail trade at Milwaukee was checked
by the cold; the wool clip is selling at
good prices at Portland Greg; grain char
ters to the united kingdom are the lowest
