The necessity for keeping Barre's tax
rate at $3.50 on the dollar Of the grand
lst is explained BY the fact that the
sinking fund needs an additional five
cent tax in order to make the total fund
sufficient to meet the bond issue Of $75,-
900, which is payable during the present
year. After the present year, it should
Be possible 70 reduce the apportionment
fer the sinking fund and consequently
aiuee the total tax rate. On January

have accrued in the intervening time
without the demand for added appropri-
ations for that department So for the
present it is necessary to keep the tax
rate the same as last year.

MAN DISAPPEARS
FROM HIS HOTEL
WEALTHY RANCHER OF GALA
BASAS Is MISSING
LEAVES PERSONAL EFFECTS IN
ROOM AT HosTELRY
Police and Sheriff Conduct Search for
Farmer, but Cannot Find Any
Trace to His Where-
abouts

The failure of Joseph Smith, A
wealthy rancher of Calabasas. to return
to his quarters at the st. Elmo hotel,
543 Main street, after an absence of
three days. was communicated to the
sheriff's office yesterday and a search
for the missing man was Immediately
begun. Smith came to Los Angeles
from Calabasas last week, putting up
at the St. Elmo. He left the hotel Mon
day night and did not return.
Suspicion that something was wrong
was aroused by the fact that Smith left
his effects in his room. There Is no
telephone connection between Los An
geles and Smiths home, and the officers
are awaiting reply to letter sent to
his wife yesterday inquiring if he has
returned to the ranch.
Deputy Sheriff Wood telephoned
Sheriff Hammel at Santa Monica early
in the afternoon, notifying him of
Smiths disappearance and asking him
to investigate a rumor that an uniden-
titled man had been seen wandering
about the country four miles from Saw
telle The sheriff returned to the city
last night and said ne had learned moth
ing concerning Smiths whereabouts.
The disappearance of Smith calls to
mind the mysterious vanishing of
George w. Nash about two years ago.
Nash was a resident of Santa Monica
and owned a large ranch adjoining
Smiths property at Calabasas. Moth
ing regarding Nash's whereabouts was
ever discovered, and he was legally de-
clared dead some time ago when his
wife was appointed Administrative of
his estate.
