ARK OWNERS REFUSE
TO PAY CITY TAXES
Alameda City Attorney Says
Treasurer Can Collect Money

ALAMEDA. June 5.-Ark owners
along the tidal canal have declared
that they are not going to pay taxes
into the city treasury of this city.
Assessor Croll said today that it may
be necessary to make a test case be-
fore he will be able to collect the
taxes.
City Attorney Simpson has given as
his opinion that the arks are taxable
by the city. In support of his con-
tention he points to the fact that while
they are on federal ground that ground
lies within the city limits.
At the last election many of the ark
owners registered and voted in this
city.

With the final reorganization of the
company's directorate. important moves
are looked for. not the least of which
