City sales tax pull rejected by California board
The State Board of Equalization refused to collect for Los Angeles a proposed one cent local sales tax citing potential administrative chaos and a two tier system that would clash with state rules. Mayor Yorty urged the board to take over collection to cut costs. Separately, Kenneth Ryder, a 26 year old salesman from Hawthorne, died after his car drifted off the San Diego Freeway and struck a guard rail near 120th Street.
