TAX RATE WILL BE SAME
AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS
City Auditors Department Issues
Statement for Benefit of
Property Owners

The city alditor's department has a
word of comfort for the Los Angeles
property owners who have been Won
dering with some anxiety what the
tax rate would be this year. This word
of comfort is that it will probably be
only the regular 81 rate that has been
charged in the past.
Although several millions of dollars
of owens river bonds have been sold
during the year and the interest on
these bonds must be paid, a way has
been found to pay this interest with
out putting it directly on the city tax
alton. Under new law passed by the
last legislature the Accent school tax
comes under tho jurisdiction of the
county and not the city. Even should
the city magnanimously offer to raise
this tax it would have to be first ap-
proved by the board of supervisors,
and it is not likely the city will do
any acrobatic stunts to increase the
taxation. With this IA cents elm
mated the interest and sinking fund
on the bonds can be we'll taken care of.
The interest will be further decreased
by the city's action in buying back
some of the bonds. with the money
that has accumulated in the sinking
fund. Negotiations for this repurchase
of the bonds are pending. The repur-
chase was approved by the council
several weeks ago.

Sugg visited the office of DR.. Elmer
Carter Friday and complained Oh
trouble of the heart. He was exam
ined by the physician and told that pe
was in good health with the exception
of a slight palpitation of the heart
Suge then asked the physician II the
malady was fatal and was told 1t was
not. The boy then stated that he had
an attack of the disease while in san
Francisco and fell unconscious in front
of the Call building. When he recovered
he consulted DIR. G.. w. Mckee OF san

that the malady from which ne was
suffering was fatal and that ne haq put

The fear that he might drop dead at
any moment preyed on the MIND Oh tne
lad and he became respondent, ana
Notwithstanding the statement of DR..
Carter that the malady was not fatal
Sugg went to a drug store and asked
for cyanide of potassium.
Drug Clerk Cautious
The drug clerk demurred at selling
the poison and Sugg declared he want
ed it to poison a large dog. and stated
he was in such fine health that he
would be crazy to want it to end ms
own life. Finally he obtained the pol
son and signed his own name TO the
poison register.
On leaving the drug store he met
Fred Bauman of S02 Central avenue.
The two chatted for while and then
Sugg suggested that they go to his
room at the Van Nuys hotel.
Bauman accompanied him to the
room and on entering the room Sugg
took the poison from his pocket and
placed 1t on a dresser with remark
that it was cough medicine. The two
friends talked for short time and
then Sugg made some remarks about
suicide He talked strangely and later
Bauman left the room, but after walk
ing short distance from the hotel be-
gan to suspect that probably Sugg
might end his life, returned to the hotel
and found Sugg had taken the poison
and was dead.

he met with about 80 of the cattle

his policy would be to give every
man "a square deal" He earnestly
advised the organization of advisory
boards among the cattle and sheep
men to look after the interests of
the two classes in the reserve. He
thought possibly the advisory board
for the sheep men should be made
up of one man from each district in
the reserve, while the cattle men
might have an advisory board in
each district. Mr.. Smell stated tha
