THE SAN FRANCISCO CALIL, FRIDAY, 1897. LY 30 WERE N0t GIVEN THER DENANDS Supervisors Refuse to Re- duce the Corporations’ Assessments. BANKS WERE NOT INCREASED. An Effort to Fix the Value of Railroad Franchises Headed Off. THE ASSESSOR'S FIGURES ADOPTED. Mayor Phelan Announces That the| Total Reduction Amounts to | Only $100,000. Yesterday was the last day allowed the Board .of Supervisors, sitting as a Board of Equalization, to determine the justneas ©f.the assessments made by the Assessor, and - the larger portion of the time was spent ‘in "discussing the advisability of raising the valuation piaced on the prop- erty.of the large corporations and banks. The committee on assessments, consist- | ing.of Supervisors Dodge, Lackmann and Citnton, ‘presented a resoluiion which the members claimed would settie the gues- uion of the value of the franchises that P:ave been a bone of contention ali throngh the session.

C. A. CLINTON, WASHINGTON DODGE, JOHN LACKMANN. Dr. Dodge said he thought this would give the City nearer what is due it from the corporations than is received under the ~present system of assessments. It would add about $13,000,000 to the valua- tion of the City’s property and equalize | the assessments paid by the big concerns and the small property-owners, “I believe corporations fail to pay their just dues to the City,” said Dr. Dodge, ‘and while I am not a corporation-hater by any mezns I desire to see them do | iheif duty by the City government. “I know that in many cases the repre- sentatives of corporations do not believe | the.concerns for which they appear pay fsxes on the full value of their holdings. They are paid to head off raises and se- cute. reductions if they cun, and they do | what they are paid for. “To my mind it is plain that the cor- porations deliberately misreprasent the value of their holdings in order to escape taxation, and it is our duty to see that the burdens of small holders who pay on 80 per cent of the value of their property are | lightened by making those who own millions’of property pay a just amount of taxes.” _ Superyisor Smith said he objected to | such'..a measure on the ground that it would end in litigation with the company, and that if the City lost the case it might | resultin the taxes being lost. | Mayor Phelan said he believed the fran- chises of the various corporations were the most y&luable part of their property, and he-was satisfied that the franchise of the Market-street Company was worth $9,000,- 000 instead of $2,500,000, as fixed by the Assessar. i When the matter finally came to a de- | tion on the table was lost by a vote of 8| n\q; Supervisor Britt offered a resolution | A% B0t that the assessments of the corporations as made by the Assessor be acopted by the board.

An Unknown Young Man’s Body Found Near Harrison-Street Wharf. A young man was seen at half-past8 o'clock yesterday morning falling from the end of Harrison-street wharf by a stevedore named Kelly. The body was found at a quarter of 3 o’clock in the after- noon by P. Hogan of 9 Natoma street. Coroner Hawkins took charge of the re- mains., The deceased was about 25 or 30 yearsold, smooth shaved and with dark hair. Thke clothing was a dark-brown sack coat and vest, gray pants with black checks, negligee shirt and black necktie. Late last night the remains were ide tified by Henry Konche of 118 Second street as those of his son George. The young man was 19 years old and subject to fits.

The Question of Salaries Will Bring Up a Big Fight, Directors Head and Derham Talk Plain on the Subject of Combine. “Itis a division for principle against spoils. There’s no politics in it,” said School Director Head yesterday when talking about the way things were being run by the Board of Education. By wspoils” he did not mean the usual ac- ceptation of the term, but patronage that comes from a combination of a majority of a body in power to make appoint- ments. “If the people desire to see the work- ings of the Solid Nine in all its glory all they have to do is to attend a meeting of the board,” he said. ‘“Anybody who was there last night could see it to perfec- tion, and if he could read between tne lines he could see who instigated the whole thing. If it conld be put down to politics it would be different, but i1t is not the case. Take the instance of the ap- pointment of F. G. Huskey from the sub- stitute list to be vice-principal of the Hearst Grammar School. [f that wasn’t a clear case of favoritism I never saw one, Here isa man who has come to the City a suanger, and he gets one of the best po- sitions without even passing through the probationary period. 1t was on a par with the appointment of Mrs. Butler two weeks ago. Of course, as that lady is the sister of Dr. Drucker, a member of the board, that makes a difference. If such appointments are to be made i% means that the teachers—the sons and daughters of the people who pay taxes here—are to have little incentive to do good work in hoves of being advanced. 4Of course, the way they have got the committees arranged it is impossible for those of us who are desirous of seeing that the best results are obtained to do anything. We are not counted in at all, and all we can do 18 to make our protests in the open-board meetings. The claring manner in which high-handed proceed- ings were induiged in last night was so plain that all those who were visiting the | meeting not only saw it but showed 1t in a dozen ways when the controversy was hottest. “The whole thing is a scheme on the part of certain directors to make excuses for the dismissal ot teachers in order that they may have piaces for their firiends. I think the thing is an outrage and if the member of the Solid Nine who gave it out for publication had known what a boomerang it was going to be he would not have been so quick to give it up. The queer part of 1t is that now that they see the effect of the publication of the list they are trying to put it on my shoulders, when the fact is I knew notning of the list until 1 read it in the papers. “‘The next scheme now is to raise the salaries of certain favorites of directors who are 1n the combine, and that is_the reason they were so anxious to head me off iast night. The matter will come up Saturday night, and then it will be seen that there is a scheme in it. I am glad the newspapers have taken the matter up and are giving the methods of the majority of the boaid an airing. 1tis time that the people knew exactly what was being done with their schools.” Director Derbam was loth to talk, as he said he could not hope to compete with the Solid Nine in the matter of per- sonalities. He said: *I think the publi- cation of the list of criticisms was an out- rage on the teachers. Itis a shame that it shouid have been made public in the manner selected, for it gave the teachers no chance/to defend themselves, and in many cases Was & Zross injustice. “It was on a par with the appointment of Huskey to the vice-principalship of the Hearst Grammar. There was a man who was not a citizen, who had not complied with the requirements of the board and about whom we know nothing. He comes in here and takes one of the best places, while those teachers who have been work- ing for the good of the department are relegated to the rear in order that a friend of somebody may get a fat position. It does not deal fairly with the people who pay our school taxes. Tneir children are brought up as teachers ana receive good educations, yet when they have worked hard they are held back and the best places are ziven to strangers. Why, the whole thing was so plain that even the president o! the board had to leave his seat wher it came to discuss- ing the question, and one of the members of the Sulid Nine went back 6n the rest of them, a< he could not stand such rank in- justice. Those of us who are desirous of standing for principle can do nothing. Our hands are tied, not only in the board meetings, but in committees. We are simply left out. *‘There is evidently too much executive excuse given last night when an inquiry was made. We were told that committee meetings were considered as being in ex- ecutive session. I think the board should do nothing that the people may not know all about, and surely the committee meet- ings should not be secret.’” The meeting called for Saturday even- ing bids fair to open much of the actions of the Solid Nine to the public, and there will be more than usual interest taken 1n the proceecings of that evening. Director Head wilt be prepared to venti- late any scheme ihat may show its head, and he will be backea by Directors Der- ham and Armer, and between them they will make it very interesting for the com- bine. PERJURY IS CHARGED. Lawrence S. Megginson Arrested on the Complaint of J. F. Turner, Real Estate Agent. Lawrence S. Megginson, a dealer in mining stocks,was arre ted Wedne-dn'y on a warrant charging him with perjury, issued by Judge Daingerfield. The complaining witness is J. F. Tur- ner, the real estate agent, who has been recently before the courts on charges of grand larceny and forgery. Megginson testified for the prosecution in two of the cases against Turner, in one of which Tur- ner was convicted, but was given a new trial. Turner alleges that Megginson’s testimony in that case was false, hence the issuance of the warrant for his srrest. Meg-inson was releasea on his own recognizince by Judge Seawell. He says he has no fear of the result of the trial and will bave no difficuliy in proving his innocence. He believes he has been ar- rested to prevent him from testifying against Turner, whese case comes up be- fore Judge Cook on August 3. He also referred to the fact that there is a charge of perjury pending against Tur- ner growing ou. of his testimony in. the former trial, and Lizzie O'Donnell, Tur- ner’s typewriter, is jointly c.arged with him. W, WACDONALD ELECTED President of the National Re- publican League of This City. Alex Truman and George Morse Lock Horns on Civil Service Rules. The annual meeting of the Natioanl Republican League of San Francisco was held last evening in Judge Hebbard’s courtroom in the new City Hall. Tirey L. Ford, the president, called the meeting to order, announcing that the business in hand was the election of officers for the ensuing year. Z. U. Dodge nominatea Colonel William Macdonald for president and there bein: no nominations the nom inee was elected by acclamation. Colonel Macdonsald ina brief speech thanked his fellow Republi- cans for the honor bestowed upon him and promised to perform his duties to the best of his ability. On motion of Albert E. Castle a vote of thanks was extended to the modest and re- tiring president, T. L. Ford. The latter acknowledged the compliment ina brief speech. Georye Stone placed in nomination for secretary Z. U. Dodge, saying that the nominee was a young man who had ex- hibited qualities of energy and capacity at, the National convention in Detroit that commanded the notice of the assembled delegates, After Colonel Stone's eulogy Mr. Dodge was elected without opposi- tion. Senator Wolf nominated Albert E. Castle for treasurer, and Colonel Castle was promptly re-elected. The selection of vice-presidents, one from each Senatorial district, was next in order, and the following selections were made: Tweunty-eighth District, Vaughn Morgan; Twenty-ninth to Thirty-third districts, passed; Thirty-fourth District, E. B. Griffiths; Thirty- fifth District, passed; Thirty-sixth Distri W. C. Johnsou; Thirty-seventh District, Ed- ward Donnelly; Thirty-eighth District, Aiex Truman; T ninth District. Arthur Me- Guerrin; Fortieth District, Emile Beuer; Forty-first District, E. M. Galvin; Forty-second District, W. 8. Duval; Forty-third District, John Lackman; Forty-fourth District, Henry S. Martin; Forty-fitth District, Edward Hol- land. A finance committee composed of the following members was electea: A. E. Castle, J. M. Litcafield, Dan T. Cole, J. C. Currier, G. B. Morse, George Stons, T. L. Ford and H. A. Steffens. The meeting was attended by fifty or more members of the league, and among them were H. C. Firebaugh, Alexander Truman, 8. W. Backus, George Stene, C. W. Manwaring, Thomas H. Rush, C. T. Mastelier, J. C. Currier, Gsorge H. Pippy, E. B. Griffiths and D. E. Miles. Alex Truman sought to get in a resolu- tion against civil service reform as Grover Cleveland interpreted it. Mr. Truman observed that the Republican workers were walking the streets while the Demo- crats were holding the offices under a Re- publican administration, and that the Califernia Republicans in Congress were doing nothing in the matter. George Morse, who was recently ap- pointed to u fine job in the Federal court, said, “This is not the time to discuss a motion or a subject of this kind. Colonel George Stone remuarked that a resolution covering the subject was adopted by the Detroit Convention of Re- publican Clubs. This eunded the discussion, and the league adjourned to meet at the call of business. You noticed that that was the | President Macdonald. NEW TO-DAY. Slaughter Sale of Dry Goods!
