BANKS COMPLAIN OF ASSESSMENTS, Claim Their Property Has Been Too Highly Valued. BUSINESS WILL SUFFER, For Banks Will Have to Get the Extra Taxes Out of the People. DUNN'S INTERESTING FIGURES Show a Wonderful Deficiency in the Assessments of the Large Corporations. The Supervisors met yesterday morning @s a Board of Equalization, with Taylor in the chair. There were present also, King, Benjamin, Scally, Morgenstern, Dimond, ‘Wagner, Hughes and Dunker. Representatives from the local banks fold their tales of woe to the board and prayed for reductions in their assessments. Various pleas were made—the money as- sessed was out of the State, or if it was dn the banks it belonged to somebody else. The absurdity of supposing that the taxpayers will ultimately benefit to any | extent by raising the assessments of the banks was unwittingly shown by one of the bank representatives when he declared i that the banks would have to make good | the extra taxes they had t> pay by charg- ing the people bigher interest. | v The Mutual Electric Light Company petitioned to have the $50,000 for franchise | assessed against it stricken from the roll | on the ground that the company actually had no iranchise or special privileges, having been formed regularly under the laws of the State. The assessment of the Market-street Railway Company was tc have come up for consideration, but no representative of the company was present, owing to Clerk | Russell’s failure to notify the corporation. Andy Clunie, who wants the company’s assessment raised from $4,000,000 to $18,- | 000,000, was all ready. Thomas I. Bergin appeared before the board to that $1,434,257 be stricken irom the Nevada Bank’s assessment of 030,616 on the ground that the property | in question was not in this State on the | first Monday in March, 1896, but was in | ‘Wisconsin and illinois. The protest of the California Safe De- | posit and Trust Company was next ‘taken | up. Attorney Booth, representing the com- | pany, claimed that the assessment of the company’s vaults as personal property for $50,000 was illegal because the vaults were a part of the building, Moreover, $91,906 | of the total assessment of $469,704 was out of the State on the first Monday in March, deposited in various Eastern banks. William S. Woods, representing the National Bank, Crocker - Woolworth wanted the bank’s entire personal prop- erty assessment stricken out because it | was assessed to the bank and not to the | shareholders.” Sidney V. Smith, appearing in behalf of the Bank of British Columbia, wished the bank’s assessment of $2.155,250 to be re- duced by $1,475,760, which the bank owed to bona fide residents of the State. A large portion of the money assessed, Smith declared, was money belonging to other branches of the banks and merely hapgenea to be in the bank for a few days at the time of assessment. The money, not being used by the bank, should, he ergued, not be taxed. Incidentally Mr. Smith made a protest against the raising of the assessments of the banks of the City. If the present high | assessments are allowed to stand, he de- | clared, a number of the banks will have to | suspend. ‘‘Besides,” he said, ‘it will in- jure the people, for, of course, when the anks have to pay lf\ore taxes they must get their money back from the people. The business community is, therefore, in danger.” A strong delegation from the Pacific | Coast Savings Society appeared to protest | against an assessment of $65,000, which | they did not have, and which, even if they did_have it, they would owe to their de- positors. The corporation was practically a building and loan association, and the excessive assessment would work a great bardship. Vincent Neale and Wendell Easton both declared that the original statement they had filed was true and just, and wished to have it left uncbanged. he matter was taken under advisement. This afternoon at 1 'o'clock the protests of some sixty or seventy small property- owners will be heard, and on Friday sev- eral other banks will be given a hearing. Attorney Clunie will argue for the raising of the raflroaa _company’s assessment on Baturday morning at 11, and in the after- noon the Grand Jury’s report on the As- sessor's valuations will be considered. Owing to'the rush of business the board will be unable to complete its labors this week, 50 aresolution was passed yesterday requesting of the State Board twenty days’ additional time in which to-hear protests. Foreman Maskey of the Grand Fury has submitted the following interesting com- munication to the Board of Equalizers in ggg;;d to the assessments made by Mr. iebe : To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors, acf- ing as the Board of Equalization, in the City and County of San Francisco — GENTLEMEN: The | Grand Jury of the City and County of San Francisco, having made investigation in the matter of the assessmentsof the property of some of the principsl corvorations doing busi- ness in this City, herewith most respectfully present to you the report of the same. Mem.—*“All property shall be assessed for its full cash value, or what it would be taken in exchange for & solvent deb This must be the valuation on the first Mon- day in March. Valuecan be arrived at by evi- dence; that is to say, merket value obtainable by noting the latest sales, rents, incomes and other indications of value applied to all prop- erty. le)n to realestate we find in San Francisco and other counties of the State the assessors have most generally arrived at value in the way specified aboye, and we presume 1o cover the contingency of forced sales which foreclosure or forced exchange create have adopted a rule which they follow after all of the above evi- dence has been obtained of assessing property for 50 or.60 per cent. This rule when general works equally for all and is just in consequence anda seems 1o follow the law as strictiy as required because the ex- perience of real estate buyers and sellers at the time of ?ruent consideration—viz. March 2, 1896—will not urhold a price above 50 or 60 per cent forced realization. We cannot, therefore, discover any injustice to_any citizen in a general adaptation of this rule, which custom has made, and we believe law would equitably uphoid, and it is assess- ing property nearly as practical for its full value or what it would be taken in exchange for a solvent debt. Corporations — Their saleable conditions being about the same, we see No reason in not following the sbove rule in erriving at their proper valuation. Take as evidence the market value of the stock on the first Mondey of March. Add the market of nds, if any are issued, 50 per cent of the total being the assessable value of the com- pany, us the law directs, this kind of property must be assessed separately as personal prop- eriy and real estaie, the remainder being the yaiue of the franchise. By ecomparing Mr. Biebe’s estimate with th accompanying mem- orands, it will be seen that in assessing corpora- tions he has not foliowed the sbove rule, but bas made a class assessment not equal, as the burdenof taxation would rest unduly | $4,975,000 bonds (6's) af THE FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1896. ully sub- .

Quite a num- ber of items, or rather omissions of items, will probable be inquirea into. For in- stance, the Market-street Company failed to include in its assessment list any cables, which other roads are, assessed for at the rate of §2500 apiece. This and many other similar matters will probably be thoroughly investigated.

DOCTORS ARE EORRIFED. Fire and Police Departments and Chinese Consul to Co-operate. MANY DISEASED DAIRY COWS. More Than Half of the Swiss-Alpine Milk Ranch Herd Aie to Be Killed. The Board of Health has decided, from its inspection of Chinatown a few days ago, that that quarter is in need of a thorough and immediate cleaning and fumigatior. if the public health is to be vreserved and the danger of some terrible epidemic entirely obviated. The quarter was in better condition when the members of the board visited it than it ever was before or since, owing to the fact that an inspection was ex- pected, but even at that the officials saw enough to horrify them and produce a feeling of fear for the public safety. The matter came up at a meeting of the board yesterday and Dr. Lovelace made a strong plea for the immediate attention of the board. He stated that it would re- quire the co-operation of the police and fire departments as well as the Chinese Consul to make the cleaning thorough and asked permission 6f the board to ad- dress them on the subject. He was author- ized to send the following communica- tion: 8N Fraxcisco, July 15, 1896. Dennis Sullivan Esq., Chief of the Fire Depart- ment, San Francisco, Cal.—DEAR SIR: The Board of Health of this City desires the co-operation of the Police and Fire Departments in the abatement of the nuisance in “Chinatown,” 80 called, that at this season of the year threatens to engender contagious diseases, and with this view desires a conierence at the office of the Board of Health in the New City Hall with yourself, the Chief of Police and the Chinese Consul et the earliest opportunity.

Receiver Cox Appeal Richard T. Cox, receiver of the First Na- tional Bank of Arlington, Or., filea .a writ of error in the Circuit Court of Appeals yester- day in the sction against J. L. Robinson brought in the District Court of Washington to recover $3,883 28, and which was decided in the latter’s favor. It seems that prior to the failure of the Arlington bank it secured judgment against one N. Cecil of Gilliam County, Or., for the amount named above. Robinson stepped in and assumed the debt, thus releasing Cecil’s property. Shortly after this the bank went under, and the recefver brought suit to recover the amount named in the old Cecil claim, and for which Robinson had become responsible. The latter offset the | claim of the bank by one against it,and in the District Court of Washington won out, Receiver Cox now files & writ of error, al- leging, first, insufficiency of evidence to justify the verdict, and, second, that the verdict is against the law. ASKS A BIc RECUCTION, The Market-Street Railway Says Its Assessment Is Too High. The Board of Equalizaticn Is Asked to Cut Off Over Three Millions. The Market-street Railway Company sent a protest to the Board of Equalization yesterday against the valuation placed on its property by the Assessor. Mr. Siebe placed a valuation of $4.245700 on the holdings of the corporation, of which $2,500,000 was on its franchise and $1,745,- 700 on personal property, including the road itself. The petition asks that the assessmernt be reduced by $3,061,900, and is in part as follows: Your petitioner avers that the valnation fixed by said Assessor, mearly £30,000 per mile, is excessive and out of proportion to the cash value of said property, as it is under our | statutes made and provided, inasmuch as your { petitione: owns the iron ties and fastenings only of said railways having no title to the roadway and roadbed, which are on and a part of the public streets and the property of the City and County of San Francisco. The cash value of said property on the first Monday of March last did not_exceed the following amounts, to wit: 51 138-100 miles of single track, operated by electric railway, $511,300; twelve miles not operated by eleciric railway, $120,000; 5-100 miles, operated by cabie raiiway, $£552,500. The franchise is claimed by the com- pany to be of nominal value and to be covered by the valuation placed on-the personal property of'the corporation, were men! much!
