RS The Assessor Upheld in His Contro- versy With Warehouseman Over Latter’s Refusal to Testify. ovegeged The Supervisors met yesterday after- noon as a Board of Equalization, and among a large number of small assess- ments acted upon three of considerable importance. The assessment of the fran- chise of the Alaska Packers' Assoclation was left unchanged at 360,000 The Equit- able Gas Light Company’s franchise was cut from §100,000 to $20,000. The arbitrary assessment of $10.000 on the Ploneer and Lombard warehouses was sustained by the board. By its action In allowing Assessor Dodge's assessment in the Alaska Pack- ers’ Association to stand the board went on record in favor of the Assessor's pol- icy of compeliing intangible forms of property to bear a larger proportion of the burden of taxation. The Packers' As- sociation has given warning_ that it may be compelled to leave San Francisco and | make Seattle its distributing point and | place of business, and Supervisor Comte argued that taxing the franchises of pri- vate corporations would drive trade away | from San Francisco, but nine of the eleven Supervisors present approved As- sessor Dodge's policy. Henry F. Fortmann, president of the as. sociation, was present to give testimony {and W. H. Chickering to make the argu- | ment. Former Mayor Pond, one of the chief stockholders, was also present, but did not testify. Fortmann testified that the association makes purchases annually —of $1,500,000 worth of goods produced in California and | employs 5000 men. It makes San Fran- | cisco its distributing point for the world. | For this year the total taxes will be over $43.000. President Fortmann called atten- | tion to the fact that of its two principal competitors the franchise of ome is as- sessed at $5000 and the other at §2500. He §ald his company had expressed its will- ingness to pay laxes on a franchise as- nt_of .$50,000. #his 1s the inevitable conflict that “This arises,” sald Assessor Dodge, “when It | fs Proposed to tax intangible forms of property that is highly remunerative. The Question is whether real estate and r- sonal property are to bear the brun of taxation or whether other forms shall bear their share.” ‘Assessor Dodge had prepared state- ments of the financial condition of the Packers' Association, showing that the annual dividends of $) per share amount- ed to $432,000. The tax on the franchise assessment of $600,000, a little over 35000, Would amount to but eighteen cents per share annually. In Alaska the company ays taxes amounting to $33,924, which at 160 per $100 equals the.tax on $2.081.250. The market value of the assoclation { stock at $116 is $5,676,000, go that there is $3,094,750 of stock value on which no tax | is'paid anywhere. If, to be more fair, the | paid up value of stock, $3,120,000, is taken, there is still $1,038,750 on which no tax is paid. : ‘Attorney Chickering protested that the corporation’s taxes this year In Alaska, Washington and California would aggre- gate $43,000, which would equal a fair tax Tate on the paid-up value of its stock, the only fair basis of computation. After argument at length, the board took the assessment under consideration. “Jt must be remembered,” Supervisor Comte said, “that such assessment may | drive away capital. We are trying to build ' up our trade and make San Francisco a great city, and It would be wise for us to be careful in taxing franchises of private corporations heavily. I move that | We reduce this assessment to $250.000.” Supervisor Connor gaid it ought to be raised to $1,000000. After further discus- | sion the board voted to let the $600,000 | assessment stand, Supervisors Booth, Connor, Curtis, D’Ancona, Dwyer, Adams, | Braunhart, McCarthy and xeed voting aye and Comte and Jennings no. Charles L. Ackerman appeared for the Equitable Gas Light Company and asked | that the assessment of its franchise be reduced from $100,00. He said that the company had not yet paid a dollar in div- | idends. Its recelws were now about $2000 | per month. and the company was putting that and $i0.000 or $12,000 each mont | into extending the plant. If earnin | capacity was to be considered'a $100, more franchise assessment was much too high. In answer to a query, Attorney Acker- man sald his corporation would consider $20,000 a fair assessment. Assessor Dodge agreed that his assessment had been too high. Supervisor Reed sald the company had kept faith with the city and was en- deavoring to give the people dollar gas and that it ought to receive fair treat- ment in the matter of assessment. The board voted to reduce the assessment to | $20,000. | TA. B. calawell, owner of the Pioneer and | Lombard warehouses, asked to have the | arbitrary assessment of $10,000 on his busl- ness reduced, claiming that he had given testimony to Assessor Dodge, and that the { assessment was not legally an arbitrary one, hence was subject to reduction by the board. Caldwell is the warchouseman who gave partial testimony, but refused to give information as to’the merchants who had goods in his warehouses or as to | the value and nature of those goods. Al- though it was supposed that he had Chi- nese merchandise valued at $2.000,000 in s {wo warehouses, he swore that at noon on the first Monday in March he had no solvent credits—that not a dollar was due him from any of the merchants. Assessor Dodge brought suit befcre Ji tice Barry to enforce the penalty of § against Caldwell for refusing to testify before.the Assessor, but the suit was lost on a technicality. | “I am convinced,” Assessor Dodge said to the board, ‘“‘that this is only a test case. If this man is allowed to establish his point in refusing to let us know the value of the goods in his warehouses and the names of the merchants who own the goods, so that we can discover his solvent credits, next year all warehousemen wiil follow sult and millions of dollars will be lost from the assessment rolls. If my enalty of an arbitrary assessment is up- Peld e and the rest of them will testify next year, as in the past, The petition was denfed and the assess. ment of $10,000 stands. The assessment of $15.000 against C. A. ‘Warren of Warren & Malley was can- celed, Assessor Dodge agreelng that solvent credits from the Falr estate to that_amount were offeet by liabllities to the San Francisco Bridge Company. For N. K. Masten an assessment of $1550 on Lake Tahoe Railway stock was canceled, the corporation being domestic and its stock non-assessable. A large number of petitions for reduc- tions of assessments in small amount were acted upon. The board will meet again this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock to continue the work of equalization.
