Ko Property Tax
Levy in County
No county property tax will
be levied during the coming
fiscal year, the county budget
committee decided yesterday.
As a result, the county will
operate without a tax- base
during the year.
Committe members said the
action "bowed to the will of
the people" who defeated a
measure on the May primarya
election ballot which sought
to establish a permanent coun
ty tax base of $652,386.68.
Under the state constitu
tion, taxes must be levied at
least once every three years
to preserve the tax base, un
less a Dermanent base has
been established.
No Tax Levied
' With no tax levied during
1958-59, the base automatical
ly will disappear, in as much
as no tax will have ben lev-
iH within the past three
years? Lack of a tax base will
require n election in order
for the county to levy fny t
in the future.

for the 1955-56 levy which

Precarious Truce

Charles de Gaulle today with
a demand for an end to all
political parties i n France

ty committee movement is
going to be extended through
out the French mainland.
The move by the rebel gen
erals and extremist European
settlers in North Africa this
morning threatened to tear
apart the precarious ruce
that now exists between Parig
and Algiers.
It was a direct challenge
to De Gaulle's authority and
showejd that the Algerian dis
sidents were on the move
again. It was a complete de
fiance of De Gaulle's request
last week that the public
safety committees refrain
from political activity. .

William Doernbach, Mace

an area in the Valley Center
subdivision plat from re
stricted single family to light
industrial. The area involved
s southeast of the intersection
of North Pacific highway and
Mace rd.'. Doernbach stated
that the original plat was re
stricted as to minimum build
ing costs, setback lines and
other requirements. , He re
quested that the area be re
zoned to . single family. ' -
Doernbach challenged the
legality of. changing the zon
ing of an area in which the
original plat requires certain
restrictions. , ' '
Cty Attorney Roy Bashaw
said that legally the city, with
its zoning powers, can change
the -area to light industrial and
not enforce the restrictions.
Doernbach -added that as pri
vate individuals, they could
request and obtain from the
court an injunction against
anyone who attempted to
build a structure other than a
family residence in the area
even if the city zoned the area
for light industrial. The city
attorney agreed with Doern
bach. Against Change
Several residents in the Val
ley Center subdivision spoke
against the change in zoning
of this area.
Also, heard regarding the
Berrydale area zoning was a
request by Llyod Neilson who
owns two acres of land along
North Pacific highway near

zoning, as set up by the com
mission, cut his property in
half, part for light industrial
and part residential. He re
quested that it all be zoned
light industrial. The commis
sion set a public hearing on
the request.
Also on the agenda were
several subdivision plats sub
mitted for tentative approval.
The areas included the Crest
brook, D. L. Pickell, Spring
brook and Rosedale subdivi
sions. A special hearing will
be held for the Crestbrook
subdivision. The Pickell sub
division plat was tentatively
approved with the exception

were the Bel Air Heights sub
division submitted by Archie
