TAX BOARD HIT
AS USURPER IN
BUDGET HEARING
Members Had No Right to
Slash Levy, Contention
of Attorneys.

Usurpation of powers inherent
only in the legislature or in a city
council, was charged against the
state tax board today by Edward
knight, corporation counsel, and
James E. Deery, ciSty attorney, in
their oral argument to make perma-
nent the temporary injunction to
halt the county auditor and treas
urer from putting into affect the
reduced levy fixed by the board.
Following the argument by both
sides, Judge John Kern of superior
court one took the question under
sdvisement. Pending decision. the
temporary restraining order will re-
main in force.
The state tax board slashed the
proposed city tax rate from $1O8 to
$l.O6 and the city has asked that
the county auditor and treasurer be
inundated to restore their rate.
Claim Full Powers
Louis Ewbank; special counsel;
High D. Merrifield, deputy attorney
general, and Harvey Grabill, county
attorney, countered with the aSgu-
ment that the courts have held that
the functions of limitation of taxes
can be assigned to any board desig-
mated by the legislature, and there
fore tn etax board has full powers
to order reduction in the rate.
Deery protested that the tax
board has reduced specific items in
the budget and that the board thus
acted in legislative capacity which
is unconstitutional.
Power Is Limited
Knight added that the tax board
has in reality only the power to
correct errors in mathematical cal
culations and that in attempting to
reduce thel evy. it is usurping a
perrogative not conferred upon it.
I'm fact, the board is attempting
to do indirectly what it can not do
directly" he said.
He pointed out that just as a
legislature fixes the state budget
and appropriations, so does the city
council do the same for the mu-
nicipality, When this is done, it
is a legislative function and the tax
board has no more right to cut the
appropriations fixed by the leglis-
lature.

of Constance Bennett, motion pic

marriage license, today considered
it likely that Mayor James Walker
of New York would be best man at

Mayor Walker will arrive in San

is a close friend of the couple there
apparently are well-founded rumors
that he would stand beside them at
the altar.
In that event the wedding will
