SHAVING TAX WARRANTS
is AGAIN PRACTlCED
CITY AUDITOR GIVES WARNING
TO PROPERTY OWNERS
Books Are Accessible to the Public
and No One Need oign Releases
for oVerpaid Taxes, as Rebates
When Due Are Free

City Auditor Schwaebe has found
that the practice of shaving tax war;
rants by irresponsible persons is being
revived and has issued a warming to
all property owners to present their
claims for overpaid taxes to the city
auditors office in person or run the
risk of being cheated.
The books Of the city auditor are ac-
cessible to ALL as they are public prop
erty and INSCRIPTIONS persons take ad-
vantage Of this fact to learn to whom
oVerpaid taxes are due.
With long list they go forth and
with plausible stories frequently sue
ceed In inducing their victims to sign
releases on these taxes, for small
sums.
These releases, which are in the ma
ture of a demand on the city auditor
for the full amount of the oVerpaid
taxes, are presented and collected, Mr..
Schwaebe having no alternative but to
pay them ON demand,

adjoining property, all of which is
owned by the Southern Pacific.
Railroad Offers Nothing

The railroad has not offered the city
anything for this portion of Fifth
street. and as property owners east of
Alameda street will have to use either
Fourth or Sixth street as thorough
fares to get around the big depot, they
believe they are entitled to a stipu-
lated passageway through the new
depot.
These property owners presented their
side of the case to the board of public
works and the board declared that be-
fore it would agree to the abandonment
of this street the Southern Pacific must
guarantee a passage.
The railroad agreed that such a pas
sage would be constructed, but refused
to place the agreement in writing,
claiming that such an act on it's part
would throw a cloud on its title to
the property
The property owners insist on being
assured that the Southern Pacific will
not close up the passageway at it's
option and politely threaten that unless
the agreement is put in writing there
will be no big depot, if they can pre-
vent it, and the Arcade itself will be
cut in two.

WILL CUT THE
ARCADE IN TWO
PROPERTY OWNERS PRESENT
POLITE ULTIMATUM
Southern Pacific Must Give Written
Assurance of Furnishing Passage
way Through New Depot or
Take Consequences

No passageway for pedestrians
through the new depot, no depot, at
least at Fifth street and Central avenue,
is the determined attitude that owners
of property east of the Arcade station
have assumed.
Yesterday several wealthy and inlu-
entail business men, headed by F. G.
Callkins, president of the Merchants
Ice & Cold Storage company, who own
large property interests east of Ala
media street in the neighborhood of
Fifth'street, consulted with other prop
erty owners in the same district, with
the result that an attorney was engaged
who will present to the council at it's
session Monday afternoon polite ulti-
matum.
This is to the effect that if the coun-
ell does not insist that the Southern
Pacific puts in writing an agreement
to construct passageway for pedes-
trians through the new depot it pro-
poses to build on Fifth street. fronting
Central avenue, these same property
owners will begin proceedings for the
opening of Fifth street from Central
avenue to Alameda street.
Would Bsect Arcade
By opening Fifth street between these
two points the old Arcade station
would be cut directly in two.
II a majority of frontage owners i'm
the assessment district should decide
that Fifth street must be opened, the
board of public works and the city
council would have no recourse but to
open the street in spite of the vigor
with which the Southern Pacific would
protest.
Should the property owners feel COM
PEELED 10 take this course to preserve
their rights II would be a hard blow to
the Southern Pacific. This railroad
company has recently purchased all
the frontage ON Fifth street between
Central avenue and the Arcade station
for the expressed purpose of building
a magnificent new depot.
The Southern Pacific has appeared
before the board of public works,
through it's attorney, Judge j, w, Nc
Kinley and asked that Fifth street
from Central avenue to the Arcade de-
pot be abandoned and revert to the
