Mccarthy Plans Read. justment of Every Par. eel of Real Estate In The Entire City
Grand List Will Be Materi- ally Boosted Without Greatly Affecting Those Now Paying Taxes.

| Assessor Edward A. Mccarthy Is
 planning an adjustment of asse ssments
 on every piece of land in the city
 through which he expects to place on
 the books a total of s7,o00.O0o in property valuations that hitherto
 have been untouched.
 A material increase in the grand | list will result from this canvass, al- 1 though those now paying taxes will not be greatly increased in any fn- stance. and in some cases will have their assessments reduced
 Land Long Neglected. While the assessors books have been fairly complete as regards houses and buildings, the lands upon which there are no structures have been neglected, perusal of the books in- dicates, and in this way millions of dollars worth of property has had no tax paid thereon.
 In few instances where there is wide expanse of land under develop- ment, the entire tract has been listed as farm lands and comparatively lit- tie has been paid in taxes. The as- sessor proposes to list these places as building lots and assess accordingly. In many cases stretches of land have been found that have never appeared on the books in the assessors office.
 Results By January 1.
 Assessor Mccarthy will endeavor to devote sufficient time and energy to this new canvass to bring in every piece of property within the city lim- its to its proper classification. By January l, 1928, he feels that several millions in untaXed property will have been listed.
 MT. Mccarthy, who took the chair- manship of, the board of assessors only last week, felt the need of thor ough canvass of land throughout the city long before he became connected with the board. For 4 years he was connected with the engineering de- partment, being assistant engineer at the time of his retirement. On many occasions. while making surveys in which it was necessary to have the names of owners of properties af- fected, the books in the assessors off, flee were consulted. and it was found almost invariably that building lots, especially in isolated sections o, the city, had not been listed. {
 The realty valuation board is N forming base for land assessmA in the various sections of the cj adaptation of which will be reco' . mended to the assessors. Under this system, every piece of land will have its value adjusted and while there will be a few reductions, in the main the values will be increased.

In Return Soviets Must Agree to Main Points Set Forth In Allied Memorandum
Lloyd George and Schanzer Make Strong Appeal, Offering to Aid in Recon structi0n Work.

Genoa, May 8. - (By Associated Press) - Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain and Foreign Minister Schanzer of Italy. addressed today a strong appeal to the Russian repre- sentatives at the conference here urg- ing them to accept the allied memo randum in its main points and prom ising Russia an international loan, with the understanding that the lead ing countries would thus provide funds for the reconstruction of Rus sia-
 The allies would claim the right to make sure, however, that the money loaned was actually invested in the work of reconstruction.
 Want 35 Times as Much
 It was asserted that altogether the proposed loan would amount to 300,- 100000 gold francs. It has been de- clared that the Russians were asking for 5000, 100000 gold rubles or 25 times as much as the allied offer.
 Although the Italian parliament is in session Premier Facta returned to Genoa from Rome today accompanied by the minister of finance and the minister of labor called here by the gravity of the conference situation.
 Meets Tchitcherin
 Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Russia was the first delegate Signor Tacta saw. The premier in his conver- sation with the head of the Russian delegation emphasized the necessity for all Europe. but more particularly for Russia that the conference prove successful. He asked that the greatest effort be made by the Russian delega- tion to find such compromise as would be acceptable to all.
 Ieninc's Orders
 M. Tchitcherin 1t was learned, has received instructions from Premier Lenine which are reported to embody an emphatic order not to accept clause of the allied memorandum, which forbids bolshevistic propaganda abroad, virtually restricts Russia to her present boundaries and asks Rus- sian neutrality between the Turks and the Greeks.
 Lenine's contention is reported to be that this clause infringes upon Russian sovereignty, attempts to pre- vent Bessarabia from effecting a re- union with the Ukraine and seeks to interfere with the friendly relations with the Turkish Nationalist govern ment of Mustapha Kennel Pasha es- tablished by the Angora treaty.
 CriticiZes France The Russian delegation had previ- ously issued a statement denouncing | the efforts it alleged France and | Belgium had made to wreck the con- ference. The statement called atten- ton to the fact that these powers which were predicting that Russia 8 refusal to accept the memorandum would break the conference up, had i not themselves signed the memoran- lum.
