SUPERVISORS CUT 20 CENTS
OFF EACH $1O0
PROPERTY OWNERS WILL HAVE
TO PAY MORE EXPENSE
Levy for School Purposes Is Trimmed

Superintendent Makes Vlg-
orous Protest

State and county tax rate for the
year 1909-1O was reduced by the board
of supervisors yesterday from Sl.l0 10
80 cents on each $100 property Vaiua-
ton as fixed by the solid three OF
the state board of equalization, ana
even at this low figure property own
ers will be compelled to pay more
taxes, owing to the equalizers' action
than under the old rate.
To bring the rate down 15 cents
slashes were made in all directions by
County Auditor Dow and his chlet
deputy, Clarence Mallard, who sub
mitted their figures to the board at
Its moFning session.
A protest was heard from Mark KEEP
pei, county superintendent of schools,
who declared the proposed reductlon
in the levy for schools from 22 cents
under the old valuations to 1S cents
under the valuation fixed by the state
board would practically bankrupt
schools in many portions of the county.
Three years ago." said Mr. Keppel,
there was an agitation for increased
salaries for teachers in the city school,
and to meet this it was necessary to
increase salaries of county teachers
The board agreed to allow $100 add1-
tional for each county teacher and
similar action was taken last year.
Now I find the board has cut off this
amount, and to make it up and not
violate the contracts which we already
have entered into 1t will be necessary
to raise the levy from 1S to 16 cents"
Raise Rate one-Half Cent
The board finally agreed to raise the
rate for this purpose to 151A cents.
Added to the rate of 80 cents in Los
Angeles city there will be 18 cents
special school tax, and similar taxes
will also be added in other places in
the county. Fifty-five cents will be
added in the county, outside incorpo-
rated cities, for the road tax, a reduc-
ton of cents on each $1O0 valuation.
