recruiting representative for Mon

Since 1947 when the Air Force

City Fathers Move To Call For
Bids On Tax axAppraisal Here
Cost Estimated
AT $3O-4O,OOO
For The Survey

The city commission voted last
night to call for bids on an inde-
pendent appraisal of the city's
tax roll at a special meeting last
night.
The suggestion was advanced
by Commissioner Paul R. Roberts,
who asked that the commission
contact at least three appraisers
and get their bids.
Reason for the appraisal, Rob-
ertS said, is "to equalize the rolls
and gain more revenue for the
city"
Moved Call For Bids
Roberts acted as mayor protein
at last nights session in the alb
Sence of Mayor c. B. Harvey, who
is in Havana.
He stepped down, however, and
moved for the call for bids. The
commission approved it unani-
mously.
Cost of the survey was estimat-
ed during last nights meeting as
from between 30 and 4O-thousand
dollars. Roberts, however, said
that he didn't think it would cost
that much.
!. Commissioner Louis Carbonell
said that hes would insist that a
local firm be given the job, if pos
sible. But during the discussion,
it was brought out that it is doubt
full if the commission will be able
to obtain the services of a reg
istered appraiser without going
out of town.
Roberts also asked that City
Manager Victor Lang consider
placing a provision in the budget
to pay for the appraisal.
Purpose of last nights meeting
was to air a tentative budget pre-
pared by the city manager.
The commission also decided
to hold meeting of the Equali-
zation Board to consider the tax
roll next Monday night.
They have not been able to
meet to date for lack of a quorum

Child Tells OF
OF Her Parents

LOS ANGELES IA little girl,
her thrice-broken left arm still in
a cast, her lips misshapen and her
front teeth miSsings says that for
two years she was beaten by her
mother and stepfather.
Although stunted by malnutrition,
crippled by three broken vertebrae
and partly blind, Celia Sanchez, 9.
told her graphic story calmly.
Already on trial for mayhem,
felonious assault and assault with
a deadly weapon is Mrs. Trinidad
Sanchez Vera, 28, the mother. And
after Celia testified, the Stepfather
was arrested.
Joe Cruz Vera, 43, was jailed in
lieu of $10,0OO bond on four counts
OF telonlous assault and one of
child molestation. He had testi-
ned the day before blaming the
Dealings on his wife and saving
ne was afraid to tell authorities
because he had served a prison
term for rape.
Grvesoms Story
At times as Celia told her story.
weeping spectators arose and left
the courtroom. She told of her
arms being twisted until they broke
and then twisted again; of being
nit with shoes, forks and knives
until she bled; of being forced to
eat hot chilli peppers; of having
her hands held under scalding
water.
First she told of beatings she
SAID were given by her mother.
Inen she said of her stepfather:.
HE threw a knife at me once. II
LANDED in my back. Another time
ne threw knife at me and it cut
my lip"
She testified he once broke her
arm by stomping on it, injured
