"ed a meetin.� held in the office of the County kssessor, for the purpose of discussing Section_ 3627 -A of the Political Code of the State of Cali`_'ornia as amended at the 1927 Session of the State Legislature, which said Section as amended apparently t .kes away from municipalities the revenr_e formerly derived from the taxation_ of notes, stocks, bonds, solvent credits, etc., and requires that taxes collected on such items shall be deposited in the General Fund of the County and must be taxed at a fixed rate of 1.45; of the full cash value instead of being assessed at 70 of the full value and applyinE the local tax rates on such assessments. He stwtea that at the meeting, it was brought out that the amendment was passed under the theory that it cured defects in the existing law, which defects were brouth.t out in a recent Federal case, but that in the opinion of the Covrty Counsel, the amendment did not cure such defects and in the opinion of said County Counsel, is unconstitutional. Uso that the County Counsel proposes to test the validity of the amendment.by bringing an action in the Supreme Court of the State of California, and that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court had agreed to place the same on calendar for immediate hearing, so that a decision in the matter might be had pr -or to N.arch 1st, 1928. He reported further that it was brouClit out at the meeting that the amended law seriously affects the revenues of a number of the municipalities of the County and that said cities may-join in a manner to be determined by the legal representatives of the respective cities, in the action to be filed by the County Counsel of the County of Los Angeles and that the City attorney of the City of Pasadena had been designated as the attorney to prepare such briefs as may be necessary.
