WALL STREET

NEW YORK, Sept. %. U.Pl - A
program for desertion of Wall
street by security markets, in pro-
test against new city taxes, grew
towards completion today.
A New Jersey stock exchange was
under formation to be handled by

HULSE STATES
LAW DESIGNED
AS EMERGENCY

Urging that valley property own
ers prepare to take advantage of
the provisions approved by the leg
islature on payment of tax delin-
quencies, Senator Ben Hulse today
emphasized that this is strictly an
emergency measure and owners OF
delinquent property should not
overlook it.
The law provides that current
taxes for the year must be paid.
Delinquency may then be paid over
a 10 year period at 7 per cent an
nually, interest being 7 per cent
from July l, 1882. During the period
delinquency is being paid, current
taxes must be paid in order to get
the benefit of the new law.
Many property owners through
out the state are preparing to take
advantage of the new law Sena-
tor Hulse said, land this includes
quite a few in Imperial Valley.
Others, however, may overlook the
offer the state has made them and
if they fail to take advantage of it
they will be doing themselves an
injury"
Mont j. Reid, county tax collec-
tor, explained that the delinquency
tax payment provision becomes ef-
fective in November.
