facts and figures to show that Alameda
county is paying too much for the pub
fishing Of the list of delinquent tax
payers, c. Leidecker of Fruitvale came
to this mornings meeting of that
board of supervisors only to learn that
because of the way the advertising
rate was fixed last year by the super
yisors he will have no chance TO make
a lower bid this year The old rates
will obtain.

to publish the delinquent tax list for
so cents description, whereas the old
rate was S1.57. His proposition was
not accepted. and the supervisors re-
tanned the old rate, giving as their
reason that the service of notifying the
public. was done better than Leidecker
could do it with his publication. The
same rate was fixed for the coming
year.
This was on August 2. The rate will
be in force until August 2 of this year.
In the meantime the delinquent tax
list, as furnished by the county tax COL
lector, must be printed by June 8, and
