TAXES HIGHER FOR |

PORTERVILLE, Cal P.) —This city has just had a most unusually “shady” deal in taxation. The board of equalization reduced the assessed valuation of all property on the east side of Main Street by 20 per cent. The reason was that property on the west side the street is considered more valuable than that on the east side because he sun shines on the latter while the west side is more shady and attracts more customers to stores there.

FIRE LOSSES IN

Figure Cut in Half This Year: Insurance Rates Pared 15 Cents.

|far this year is the lowest since it became a metropolitan city, Fire Chief Kennedy announced today. | At the same time, he made a plea for local residents to “keep it low” | for the rest of the year. : | Up to Sept. 20, the City’s fire loss [this year was only $198,000, half the (loss. for the same period last year, and sharply under the annual losses |of $400,000 to $600,000 for the last [eight years, | The City’s fire losses for the years [1931 to 1937 inclusive, he reported, [amounted to $3.318.078, compared to $7.536.955 for the preceding seven- | year period, a reduction of $4,218,877. Insurance Rates Cut The reduction in losses has cut fire insurance rates on Indianapolis homes from 70 to 53 cents per $100 of insurance, he continued, “resulting in a saving to taxpayers

large enough te pay the salaries of |

lall the firemen in the city. His records also reveal a sharp drop in the number of fires during the last seven-year period, compared to the preceding seven-year period. First-alarm fires fell from 28.272 to 24.214; second-alarm, from [108 to 78: third-alarm, from eight to two, and there were no fourthalarm fires here from 1931 to 1937.
