Stanislavs Sutter Tehama The State Board of Equalization met to- night and it was expected by some of the members that the matter of citing coun- ties to show cause why their assessments should not be.Increased would be deter- mined. . State Controller Colgan was in favor of accepting the figures reported by the var!- ous Auditors to the State Board. Equal- izer Toland was in favor of the board adopting a _motion not to cite any of the counties, which would give the Assessors an opportunity to fi:“ their reasons why their assessments should not be increased before the tax rate is fixed. During a discussion between Equalizers Beamer and L. H. Brown on the subject Beamer said that the assessment rolls of the counties are not as equal as they shouid be and that they would never be so as long as the hoard continues in its present policy. He sald that if the board Bccepts just what the Assessors bring in the rolls of the_different counties twill never be equal. He said that San Fran- ciseo’s roll, as compared with the rolls of forty other counties, was a shame- faced proposition. State Controller Colgan changed his motion to agree with the views of Toland, bt before a vote was taken Beamer moved that the board take a recess un- dl 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, which revailed. pAfler the board had adjourned Equal- jzer L. H. Brown said that the amount necessary to be sed for the present fiscal year would be $5.520,997 and that the tax levy would probably amount to about 47.8 cents on the $100 and 2 cents for the State University.
