Ii will show many marked changes in oullying districts, where for years property has been assessed for much more than the owners thought just. Uniform reductions made under the new assessment cover an area embracing three-quarters of the property in the city and county. districts comprising this area are all homestead tracts and incMde Richmond, property south of the park, South San Francisco, Horner's addition and from Thirtieth street down to the county line. Certain sections of down-town busine: property, where rent values have been steadily declining, have been reduced in the aggregate $800,000. This total reduc- offset by the increase In' the valuation of certain real estate.on the chief thorough- fares and in the best business sections, where the valuation has been consider- ably less than in other portions of the city in proportion to the selling price. It is estimated, however, that the tax on all real estate, whether the valuation has been lessened or increased, will be decreased. This is owing to the fact that the great increase in the assessment roll will result in a lower tax rate. An in- spection of the tax roll shows that the increase in the personal property rolls has been made through increased assess- ments on the personal property of quasi- public corporations, as well as through arge additlons brought about through :i creased assessments on capltalists and money lenders. It is also estimated that from $5,000,000 to $10,000.000 will be added to the rolls by increased assessments of mercantile and business houses, assessed last year considerably below the assess- ment on others in the same business. —_—— In the Divorce Court.
