DODGE’S FICURE IS ACCEPTED § Equalizatmn Board Adopts the . Official Returns on' San Franmsco Assessment | ROLL GRE iTLY RI‘;D[ CED By the Estimate- a .mn ‘of Nearly $35,000.000 'Will - Be Realized to the City e it = " speclal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMF NTO; Aug i—By Jority w~ote, which was later made unanimous, the State Board of Equali- zation this afternoon resolved to pass the assessment of San Francisco City {and County as returned by Assessor Dodge. Although mémbers of the board in “conversation expressed themselves in a way to indicate that the assess- ment of San Francisco will not be dis- turbed, 'nevertheless as a body the board-was careful to say that Assessor Dodge might after all be called before .it to explain some features of his as- sessment and that to-day's action should not be taken as final. The total assessment of San Fran- | cisco this year ‘as made by, Assessor Dodge {s $511,000,414. Assessor Dodge's @ return lagt year was $427,452,110, or $83, 548,304 less than this year's assessme It .was sghown by. Assessor Dodge statement that he had increased his as- sessment of real estate $100,394,441 over. last year’s figures, althotigh lowering his assessment on improvements from last year's figures by $10,660,470. " The State Board of Equalization last year arbitrarily faised last year's total assessment 30 per cent, or to the sum of $545,855,324, so if, as appears likely from m-days action, Dodge's assess- ment is acceptable it means that San | Frdncisco this year.will get off with an assessment $34,854,910. less than the as- sessment forced upon it by.‘'the State - board last vear. 5 The various members declare they cannot now raise San Francisco’s totel even to what it was last year without putting an unjust burden on the own- ers of real estate, whose valuation Dodge has already put so high. The sentiment of the dissenting members of MNhe board was expressed by Beamer in | the remark: “Not a member of this| board would have voted to-day to raise | San Francisco’'s assessment in view of | Dodge's action. But we want him here | rioration.” Although-he criticized Dodge's assess- ment Mattison voted with Alford and| Brown against citing San Francisco to appear, while Beamer and Co]gan voted to cite it. The vote was afterw: unanimous against citing. The board to-day raised’the assess- .ment on the railroads in the State from | '$64,180,566" to $69,669,566, or an increase of '$5,480,566. The San Pedro, Los An- geles and Salt. Lake Railroad, a new line, was assessed for the firét time at | $920,160..
