OAKLAND, Sept. "A successful full

so amateurs. composed of Elks and
their friends, who will present on the

ing staged by o. L. Jeancon. Among

ALAMEDA TAX RATE
MAY BE REDUCED

OAKLAND. Sept. s.-Alameda county
will be called upon to pay s27.342.s1
less to the state treasury for the fs-
cal year 1909-10 than last year. in
consequence of raising of assessments
in southern California by the state
board of equalization and the lowering
of the state tax rate.
The fact that the state tax rate was
reduced from AIS cents to 36.4 on the
s10o valuation will in all PROBABILITY
enable the board of supervisors to cut
the county tax rate considerably in spite
of the fact that s cents must be added
in Oakland township for the raising
OF high school taxes and the existing
uncertainty whether the county will
also assume the burden of levying an
cent taxation for the grammar
schools of the township.
Last year economies forced by Dis
trict Attorney Donahue and the grand
jury left a surplus of 100000 in the
county treasury and the payment of
sS5, 900 delinquent taxes by the water
company enabled the settlement of
outstanding claims which technicalities
of the law had delayed The fact that
the state board raised the assessment
for Alameda county 10 per cent will
cause a downward revision of the
rate.
