AT s Wants a Lower Assessment Used in Figuring Mu- nic'pal Levy. O Verbal notification was received yester- day in the Tax Collector's .and Auditor's offices that the Hibernia Bank will to- day bring mandamus proceedings in the Supreme Court to enjoin Auditor Baehr from carrying out on the assessment books the new tax rate of 8.4 cents for city purposes, based on the increased val- uation of $540,000,000 as fixed by the State Board of Equalization. The papers in the case have already been prepared by the attorneys of the bank. The mandamus proceedings will be sup- plemented by a petition of the banking corporation that Auditor Baehr be cited to show cause why he should not carry out two valuations on the roll instead of one, The bank declares that the legal course that should be followed is to figure the taxes for munieipal purposes at $L.0T6, the rate adopted last June by the Board of Supervisors based on the assessment valuation of $422,000,000, as returned by Assessor Dodge. The State tax rate of 56.1 cents on every $100 of assessed valuation, the bank claims, should be calculated on the assess- ment roll of $540,000,000, as fixed by the State Board of Equalization. It is said that the mortgages held by the bank will be invalidated in the event that the new city tax rate of 8i.4 cents is | figured instead of the old rate of $1.076 as fixed by the Board of Supervisors last June, according to charter requirements. One peculiar feature about the bank taking the initiative in the matter Is that under the new rate banking concerns and holders of mortgages would have to pay some §75,000 less in taxes because the mortgages, Nevertheles based on the as is regarded to be the only légal rate. It is expected that tne Supreme Court will give an early decision on the point involved, The injunction -will result in stopping the work of carrying out the taxes on the roll by the Auditor, who will prob- ably be compelled to ask for an extension of time from the second Monday in Qc- tober, when he is required to turn the books over to the Tax Collector. —_—— PURSE SNATCHERS ARE IDENTIFIED BY VICTIM Miss Figuera Recognizes Robbers, ‘Who Will Now Be Charged With Grand Larceny.
