TAX RATE TO BE
Lowered GREATLY
Berkeley Council to Lop Of
From 4 to 5 Cents From
Present 90 Cent Levy

BERKELEY. Aug. 22-The city
council, which will set the tax rate
next Tuesday, will lop off or cents
from the 80 cents rate now collected.
surplus of money in the treasury,
the coin in the cash basis fund, and
the general all around healthy condi-
ton of the city's finances are given as
reasons why the tax rate will be low
cred to % or "a cents.
With the reduction of the tax rate
Will come a reduction of assessments
in various portions of the city. Only
in a few instances will there be an
increase, and in some cases the de-
crease will reach 10 per cent. In gen
eral there will be reduction of about
s per cent throughout the city.
Both Mayor Beverly Hodghead and
r. A. Berry commissioner of finance
and revenue, in their recent annual re-
ports, urged that the tax rate be low
cred from to s cents. Berry also
urged that the assessment roll be re-
duced. as the property values here
have been more or less inflated by the
influx of pople to this city as a result
of the San Francisco fire. To restore
normal conditions Berry believes that
a reduced assessment roll is marked
necessity.
The city council will meet Aug. 80
at $50 o'clock to fix the assessment
tax for the year, and the new ordi-
nance will go into effect for 191O-11.
