Seventy tidy bundles of bad
news for Monroe county residents
who have filed homestead eXemp-

The letters, which will go out

eligible for tax relief, while others
have been found to have been
getting homestead exemption

Several were revealed to have
been getting homestead exemp-

Death Toll In Earthquake
In Mexico Will Run Into
Thousands; Great Damage
tBy Associated PressS

tBy Associated PressS
MEXICO CITY. April l6.-
Rescuers worked al top speed to-
day here and along Mexico's west
coast in an effort to save hun
dreds of persons believed TO be
trapped in wreckage left by yes
terdaY's disastrous earthquake.
Property loss in Mexico City is
expected to run to more than
100000, but smaller cities along
the Pacific coast, many of which
are cut off from all but radio COM
munication, are believed to have
been the worst sufferers.
Observers feel the death toll
will run into thousands by the
time rescue work is complete.
Communities in the region
near Acapulco and Tecpan, about
1870 miles southwest of the CAPT
tai, were completely wiped out in
the earthquake and erupting vol
canoes, which started forest fires
with their lava, are believed to
have caused many more deaths.
Railroad officials said land
slides in many parts of the noun
famous southwestern section had
broken up transportation facili-
ties.
In Mexico City. hundreds of
firemen, soldiers and police
fought for six hours to extinguish
d conflagration which destroyed
an entire city block.
The first quake occurred at
about noon and was the most seri-
Gus of the several which shook
Mexico during the day.
