real ESTATE
BOOSTERS CAUSE
OF Tempest
BY Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19.-The
state board of equalization has is
sued a statement giving reasons for
the raising of the Los Angeles coun-
ty assessment 40 per cent. The
statement declares that the agitation
which followed was a tempest in a
teapot" and was stirred up by ten
derfoot real estate boosters. The
statement recites evidence, and also
gives specific cases, showing that
the county assessment is less than
40 per cent of actual value. 1t re-
capitulates the probate sales and
transfers, small sales, railways and
hotels, all of which show less than
40 per cent of their actual valua-
ton, which is much lower figure
than that at which similar proper
ties are assessed in other counties.
The statement is signed by the
chairman of the board, Alex Brown

drunkard, and she herself was born
