old SOLDIER WILL
DEFEND ARK HOME
John Palmer Does Not Fear AS
SCISSORS Who Would
Gust Him

ALAMEDA, July 14-Believing
firmly that he has right to his little
ark home on the San Leandro bay shore
at the east end of the city, and holding
that the strip of land upon which his
humble domici1e rests is federal land,
John Palmer, a veteran of the civil
war, refuses to pay personal property
tax on his ark dwelling and also defies
the assessors or any of their deputies
to remove him from the premises or to
take possession of his houseboat.
Palmer asserts that his personal
property does not exceed 500 in value
and is, therefore, exempt from taxation.
He contends that his ark is fixed to
the land upon which it rests and is.
therefore, real property. He holds that
the land is owned by the United States
government and is, therefore, exempt
from taxation.
Palmer has served County Assessor
Dalton and City Assessor Croll with
copies of his protest against their
efforts to collect taxes upon what he
alleges is government land.

The labor tax is collected by the Bel

enforce the payment Of the tax.
These soldiers are selected from
