The report showed that i4s, $50 motor

The decrease in the amount collect

taxes is approximately the same as
shown IN the last annual report of this

collected from this source is. In my
opinion, far less than the amount which
should b. collected from business licenses
in this city. As has been brought TO
the attention Of the Commissioners by
this Office in previous reports, this Is
due IN large measure 70 the fact that
the law unoer which the majority Of

MANY FAMILIES ARE .SUCCo.RED AT SACRAMENTO
Red Cross Taking Car. of Destitute of Recent Sac
 ramento Flood

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24- Nearly 200 families who are in need of emergency or permanent help have registered at the Red Cross disaster relief headquarters in North Sacramento. Inyestiga- tions made since the flood waters subsided have shown that many of the homes will not be fit to live in again without extensive repairs-floors are sagging and foundations are crumbling.
 Due to the length of time the water stood in the houses the damage was greater than is ordi- narily caused by overflow waters Many of the families are not only unable to replace their furnishings and bedding, but have no funds with which to make necessary re- pairs. In such instances repairs will be financed from Red Cross relief funds. Contributions from Sacramento, North Sacramento and the surrounding territory at this date total nearly $11,000.00. In addition, the National Red Cross has made an appropriation of S500.00.
 In re-establishing families in their homes the Red Cross is is- suing disbursing orders to the To- cal merchants, who will provide the necessary household furnish ings, sending the bill to the Red Cross. In cases where repairs are needed, two reputable contractors examine the building and the con- tract goes to the lowest bidder, who will be paid by the Red Cross. A number of the houses inundated were being purchased by the families living in them. Red Cross workers are clearing all records with the Title Com pany to ascertain the obligations of these purchasers. a
 Miss Margaret Edgin, who re- gently resigned her position as executive secretary of Benton County Chapter, Oregon, has join ed the staff of disaster workers, which now consists of Douglas Moore, assistant manager of the Pacific Branch, Miss Eva Hance, director of Junior Red Cross, Miss Naomi Stutzman, and Miss Aleta Brownlee. This staff is working in cooperation with a. committee composed of the Mayor and the City Council of North Sacramento. It is hoped that all families will be re-established in their homes before the end of April.
