OPINIONS DIFFER ON
TAX LAW VALIDITY
City and County Attorneys
Clash Over Statute

OAKLAND. Aug. So-An opinion
directly at variance with that submit
ted by City Attorney Stetson regard
ing the duty of the board of supervis-
ors in the levying of taxes to main
tain grammar schools of incorporated
towns was filed by Deputy District
Attorney Clark today.
Stetson had held that the law enact
ed by the late session of the legisla-
ture, when it was stated that the SUI
pervisors may levy the tax, was
mandatory.
Clark gave as his opinion that may
is in no sense mandatory. Decisions
by the supreme court of the state upon
the Interpretation of the word may
were cited by Clark to support his con-
tentions.
This leaves the matter as much, in
doubt as at any time since the exist
ence of the law became generally
known. The question will be thrashed
out in committee of the whole. The
supervisors have acknowledged that
the levying of tax 10 support the high
school was obligatory, but have re-
fused to accept responsibility for COL
lecting taxes of the grammar schools
under the construction of the law fur
nished by the district attorneys office.

COUNTY MAY AID
IN CHARITY WORK
Supervisors Consider Repaying
Cash Outlay of Associated
Charities

OAKLAND, Aug. 30.-An annual cash
allowance of $4,000 for the relief OF
distress by the board of supervisors
was asked by the Associated Charities
today. A report containing records
of cases relieved, of Investigations con-
Quoted and the amount expended in
relieving worthy cases was filed with
the request
Rev. Charles r. Brown. pastor of the
First Congregational church. spoke ap-
provingly of the work of the organiza-
ton. The clergyman held that the
activities were conducted with mini
mum of expense and of mistakes and
that restoration of independence to
applicants was never lost sight of.
Instead of relying on private subscrip-
tions. Rev. Mr. Brown urged the cash
allowance by the board as a measure
which would greatly facilitate the work
and would enable the organization to
go ahead with confidence in it's re-
sources and thorough knowledge of
funds available at all times.
James p. Taylor and Wilbur Walker
followed in advocating the allowance.
The report showed that the total ex-
penditures of last year were S3,20S.31,
with $40 new cases, 155 old cases re-
opened and 1913 continued cases where
relief was given.
District Attorney Donahue will re-
port on the legal side of the proposed
allowance and the sense of the board
was that the organization should be
reimbursed after making payments and
submitting reports Action will be
taken at the next meeting.
