Seeks to Prevent Corporation Escaping Payment of Taxes. Assessor Dodge submitted a resolution yesterday to the Board of Supervisors di- recting the Tax Collector and Recorder to cancel the tax sale whereby a lot at Pine and Broderick streets, owned by Wells, Fargo & Co., valued at $3000, was sci= to the State in 1897 for delinquent | taxes amounting to $13,00 The resolution states that the property has been irregu-| larly as: or to reassess and enter the un- | collected taxes upon the assessment book of 1902 to be collected as other taxes en- | tered thereon. In a communication Dodge explains how { Welis, Fargo & Co. has attempted to; avoid paying a large amount in taxes by the petty subterfuge of selling to the State a small piece of real estate. The communication says: It appears that the ussessment made in 1896 amount of taxes due on said assessment. As a resuit of this fact the taxes have never been | paid. After a thorough investigation of this| matter I a satisfled that there is a provision in the general law by which these back taxes can be o cted.

Saloonmen Consent to Sub- mit Ordinance to Vote of People. The Board of Supervisors yesterday dodged the proposal to increase the retail liquor license to $200 per year and de- cided to take no action, but to leave the point to be settled by a popular vote. | Supervisor Connor, who has constituted himself the champion of the Increase, weakened at the supreme moment of in- troducing an ordinance on the subject. | Many retail liquor dealers were present to protest against raising the license, and arguments were presented by seveal al- toueys. When the debate began Connor ex- pressea himselt as wiling Lo witnaraw ‘“li proceedings I the issue would De Suo mitled to the electors at the November election. He saia {nere was not a city in the Lmted States tnat did not pay the expenses of the rolice Department. J. L. Huriey of' the San krancisco Protective Asscaiation said tne retall grocers aid not object to submitting tne question to the people. BT n that case,” said Connor, “I will withdraw. 'U'he special levy will rais. $000,00, which will come out of the pock- ets ot taxpayers. \Wny, one-nalf ot the hiquor deasers would vote for $ov licensc. received with “This last remark was cries of No! No!” A. Ruef, attorney for the California Li- quor Dealers’ Assoclation and Brewers' Protective Association, said his clients Were pertectly wiliing to submit the ques- tion to a popular vote. Ruef said that liguor dealers paid more than their just proportion of taxes and would pay the secial tax for schools and hospital with vod_grace. 3 e ““Why should this one particular (rads be taxed to the verge of suppression, asked Ruef, “in_the guise of raising a You are willing to sacri- tice a thousand small liquor dealers be- cause some of the larger dealers are sat- isfied to pay the increased license. If it is 4 question of determining whether we shall have saloons, 1 am willing that the people should pass upon it. Consider the Wholesale liquor dealers or the large breweries in imposing an increased license and do not put all the burden on the smalil dealer. You would not get much additional revenue by raising the license, considering the suppression of the many small saloons.” LEGALITY OF ORDINANCE. Braurhart stated that a Supreme Court decision held that the submission of an ordinance to the people is unconstitutional and that if the ordinance were so-adopted the liquor interests would attack its le- gality. In reply, Ruef sald that the prop- osition made by Connor to submit the ordinance to the peopie had come with surprising suddenness, but he did not think that such a proceeding would be illegal under the charter. Braunhart said that after the terms of the ordinance had been decided upon and had been adopted Ly the people he desired to Know if the law would be accepted in good faith by the liquor dealers. Ruef replied that he thought it would be. “If something is not done by this board,” sald Connor, “the people will take the initiative and vote for an ordinance to raise the license. 1 am here to protect the small liquor dealers, and we do not want the liquor men to submit the ordi- nance. KEastern cities have license taxes rgely in excess of the rate in effect here. The improvement -clubs ure interesting themselves in this matter and one of them has even submitted an ordinance on the subject.” Supervisor Eggers explained that the $800 license in New York City was paid not by the small dealer, who was finan- clally unable to pay it, but by the big breweries and wholesale liquor dealers. D’Ancona said that the board has the right to raise the liquor license if it deems it advisable. “A sudden raise in the license is cer- tainly a radical change in policy,” said D’'Ancona, *“and before so deing we should be sure that we have the moral support of the majority of the people. If we are in need of more money to run the city government we should certainly ascertain the will of the people as to the manner in which it should be raised.” WANTS WHOLESALERS TAXED. Alpers thought that the wholesalers should be taxed in order to increase the revenue, and deprecated the recommenda- tion of the Police Commission that drug stores selling liquors pay a license of $ per quarter. Alpers said $15 per quar- ter would not be too much. “I have always felt that the liquor deal- ers are not ing their just propor tion of taxes,” sald Rev. F. M. Larkin, pastor of Grace M. E. Church, “for 73 por cent of the crimes and the cost of the Police Department is due to sa- loons. 1 rise to suggest that the ques- tion be put to a popular vote. 1 would be willing to agitate the subject, @nd be- lieve that public education would mean a restriction of the saloon trade.” * Attorney Nagle sald that the churches should not be heard on the subject, as they do not pay taxes. Dr. Larkin up- held that members of his congregation paid more taxes than all saloons com- bined. Police Commissioner Hutton said that the wholesale liquor dealers and fruit stores selling liquors In excess of a quart were not under. the jurisdiction of the Police Commission. J. T. Hurley said that there are 2900 liquor stores paying internal revenue licenses, but which pay license. Hurley said if these paid e there would be plenty of money for the Police Department. Ruef said that the ralsing of the license would drive out 1000 saloons, so that the necessity for an increased police force if it is true that this necessity is caused by saloons. Ruef said that he could produce $1,000,000 fronr in- terested parties if the saloons would be | restricted to 2000, with a license tax of | 8200 per year, as the business would be more concentrated with the lesser num- berl of sa]!‘;m?s. “I wou avor a tax on every bai of whisky or barrel of beer,” sa.lg Rl‘;:a? “which would be a graduated tax on the amount of business done; but this is not possible under tne charter. If you want to raise $120,000 for 100 more police- men put a tax of $500 per year on the breweries, of which there are forty, and a tax of $500 on wholesale liquor dealers, { and you will have vour $120,000. The brew- eries will willingly pay this license.” “This discussion has drifted from the business to the moral side,” said Super- visor Boxton. ‘“We need the money, and some one told us that the saloon-keep- ers were the easlest to get it out of.” —_— Says Moore Was Boisterous. A. W. Moore, commander of the Union Washington street, was arrested yester- day morning on a warrant charging him with disturbing the peace. The complain- | ing witness is Bert A. Chapman, a roomer at the army headquarters. He alleges that Moore, while laboring under Blrgng excitement vesterday morning, raised a | disturbance in the place, tried to choke his wife, and when Chapman interfers to vprotect her struck him. Moore w:‘s’ released on $10 cash bail.

SUPERVI0RS ADOPT BUDGET Increase Many Salaries and Leave Little for Improvements, Fix Tax Rate at $1.2262 on ~Each $100 of Assessed Valuation. P C AR The Board of Supervisors; after an all- day session, passed to print last night the ordinance fixing the budget of expendi- tures for the municipal government for the next fiscal year. The tax rate was fired at §1 0762 on every $100 assessed valu ation, including the appropriation for the parks, which is outside the dollar limit. Irciuding the special levy of 15 cents for new schools and a new hospital, the total tax rate for city purposes will be $1 2262 per $100. The State tax will be in the neighborhood of 50 cents, so the grand total rate will be in round numbers $1 75 | per $100 valuation. The budget provides for increased laries for a number of positions and as a consequence but little | was left for permanent improvements. In fact an increased assessment roll is re- lied on to provide for urgent work om streets and sewers. At the afternoon session School Director Rencovieri urged that the board appro- priate $45,000 in addition to the $1,220,000 decided upon, as there would be a $45,000 shortage in the school fund next year. Brandenstein said the Supervisors desired the Noe Valley school to be built out of the special levy for schools. Roncovieri replied that the Board of Education in- tended to build the school out of this year's surplus, g Chief of Police Wittman pleaded for an appropriation to pay one additional cap- tain, four additional lMeutenants, seven additioral sergeants, ten additional cor- porals, and 600 patrolmen, or sixty-nine in addition to the number recommended by the Finance Committee. J. Leo Park; secretary of the Board of Public Works, made an eloquent plea that the salaries of several émployes be raised, which would necessitate the allowing of $1140 in addition to $24,180 allowed for the maintenance of the main office. Commis- sioner Manson declared that the abolition of the position of Chief Heath of the Bureau of Streets and Deputy A. J. Don-- van would seriously crppie that depart- ment. Manson sald the duties of the two places could not be performed by the Commissioners without neglecting consid- crable executive work. WOULD ABOLISH POSITION. Commissioner Casey. would not say whether or not he could perform the duties of the Chief of the Bureau of Streets in addition to his own. Casey said that if the money was not provided the Commissioners would certainly do the work. Supervisor Wilson thought that if Casey could fill the position another Cem- missioner could do the work of the Super- intendent of Bulldings and a large saving could be effected. Casey said certainly insist that his colleagues do more work. Casey also objected to item- izing the expenditures of the Board of Works and denied that the board is top- heavy as regards heads of bureaus and employes. Manson sald if he were given charge of the strects he could do as he pleased without fear of being discharged. The board then took up the budget, item by item, and no objection was made until the appropriation for $275,000 for pub- lic lighting w: reached, when Wilson 000 be set aside, but with- Brandenstein ohjected to $28,800 belng allowed for Recorder's copy- ists, and his motion that $26,000 be appro- priated was carried. Supervisor Loughrey urged that $26,000 additional be allowed for firemen, so they could get one day off in ten, but the item was not allowed. Supervisor Wilson’s motion that the item for the Bureau of Streets be restored from $15,600 to §20,100, which would make pessible the retention of Street Superin- tendent Heath and Office Deputy Dono- van, was lost. McClellan’s motion that the amount be fixed at $17,700, which al- lows the retention of Donovan but en- compasses the dismissal of Heath, was carried. On Bent’s motion the Health Board was allowed $300 additional, with a recom- mendation that the salary of two dairy inspectors be increased from $75 to $30 per month. Alpers’ motion that $6000 allowed the Bureau of Engineering for making private lot surveys be eliminated was lost. PETITION IS DENIED. S. H. Kent made a plea, supplemented by Supervisor Comte, for the payment of $2000 to the Park Panhandle Commission- ers, but the item was stricken out. The sum of $5000 was ordered to be paid to Martens and Coffey out of such fund as the board may hereafter designate. Braunhart's motion that $12,000 be set aside out of the school fund for a chil- dren’s playground north of Market street was withdrawn after Wilson opposed it. The board recommended that the Park Commission expend $1500 to improve Co- lumbia square. Assessor Dodge informed the board that the assessment roll will slightly exceed that of last year, when it was $413,000,00), in spite of the fact that there would be a loss of $6,000,000 on national bank stock and several millions le$s on reduced as- sessments on old improvements. Dodge thought the actual tax collections would be made on $405,000,000. Wilson made a plea for the opening of if more | work were imposed upon him he should | BOLD THIEVES EMPTY A TILL Daylight Raid Made on| Montgomery-Street Cigar-Store.

L e e e e Duncan street, but Brandenstein said that | as it would benefit tne property owners they should assess themselves for the im- | provement. D’Ancona urged that Larkin street be repaved. Boxton's motion that the Police Depart- ment be allowed one captain, four lieu- tenants and ten patrolmen, at a cost of $21,860, was adopted, with the under- standing that the money be taken from the taxes collected in excess of a $405,000,- | (00 valuation. Brandenstein’s motion that | orf 385,152 still remaining unappropriated the sum of §54,152 be set aside for new sewers and $46,000 for the repaving of ac- cepted streets was adopted, with the pro- viso that $1140 of the sewer appropriation be added to the appropriaton of the | Boara of Works to raise salaries in the general office. The Board of Woarks was uuthorized to expend whatever surplus there may be above an assessed valuation of $405,000,000. Owing to lack of funds the ordinance appropriating $36,000 for open-air free con- certs was withdrawn. BUDGET AS ADOPTED.
