The election for the S195.00A park and lnrlneratory bonds will be held Wednesdsy and the 1250.600 school bond election has been set for May 1. The Chamber of Commerce has issued a statement on the possible changes the bonds will bring In the lax Isvy.

Among other things the Chamber says: The preeent tax rata of the city of Berkeley la fl.M on 10 valuation. In fixing the tax rat for th coming year It will be necessary to levy only 11 cent Instead of 19 cents to pay the Interest and sinking fund on the present municipal Indebtedness, saving cents. Therefore If the proposed bond Issue for were not carried the tax rate for the coming year would be only 92 cents. To pay Interest and sinking fund on the proposed Increase In th bonded Indebtedness to purchase park, atte and an Incinerator It will not be necessary to levy more than cents for the first year. This would make the tax rat 9J cents, which, with the Increased Indebtedness, will be less than It was last year.

Aa the assessed valuation and the principal Is paid off the tax rats necessary to pay interest ana principal Becomes less ana tese. Taxes on Bonds. "For the Incinerating site cents will be necessary, and for the park sites 4 cents oh 1 1 0O valuation. The total bonded Indebtedness' of the town Berkeley at the present time Is f38.4SS. The total bonded Indebtedness of the school district, which Includes some territory outside of the town limits Is making a total bonded debt of This bonded Indebtedness compares very favorably with the bonded Indebtedness of other cities with practically the same population afid assessed valuation.

F. C. 6tvens, 1-itory l-room soots sU of Apgax troot, 132 last wast BERKELEY, April 25 Following the example of the banks, the local buildln and loan associations print statements this week that they have resumed loaning. For the present these loans will be confined to actual builders. Hince the beginning of March there ha.t besn a decided tendency for people to return their savings funds to the barks and at the present time the banks are receiving much more money than is going out.

The result Is apparent in the gradual lessening of difficulty In getting money either on commercial paper or on property and the banker and brokers say that the month of June will see a still greater Improvement. A favorable Indication is the scarcity of houses for rent. Throughout the recent financial flurry rents and prices In Berkeley maintained their level and the demand for houses showed no falling off. Ninety Permits Issued. With the coming of spring this demand has increaaed until there is re ill a dearth of all kinds of buildings.

Ilulld-ers say that this condition must result lu a marked Increase In the building business. The records for the month fhus far show about SO permits Issued, the majority of them for houses of th middle class. The new St. John' Church, which will be erected on the west side of College avenue, looking up Qarber street, will be rushed towards completion by the contractors. According to the terms of the contract signed yesterday the building must be ready for occupancy In thirty-five working days.

It will cost 6C0J and seat about 45 people. The style will be an adaptation of the mission architecture. According to the reports of the deputy oounty assessors now engaged In making the appraisements for the coming year, the west port lor of Berkeley is unusually prosperous. In two days over 11040 in poll taxes was collected Among manufacturing establishments. Factories Are Busy.

All the factories are working and some of them with a bigger payroll than ever before. In the cottage district the demand far exceed the supply. The Increase In population and Industrial establishments Indicates that West Berkeley haa become a permanent manufacturing center. Houses are springing up all along San Pablo, avenue beyond the county line. The Oakland Traction Company reports that the passenger traffic on tha car Into this region has doubled within two years.

The Importance of this region was shown the fight made by the people against the location of the dumps along the water front.
