SACRAMENTO, June 11.—At a time when the nation has with generosity been making appropriations to relleve the stricken city of San Francisco the representatives of Sacramento, Oroville and two other towns have placed them- selves on record in the Assembly as op- posed to any legisiation in aid of the first city of the State.

FOWLER, Esq., Chairman Special Committee of the Board of Trustees ot The New-York Life Insurance Company, New York City. ‘We have audited the books and aceounts of the New-York Life Insurance Company, both at its Home Office and its principal Domestic and Foreign Branches, for the year ending December 31st, 1905, and have prepared therefrom the fol- lowing Balance Sheet and Insurance Aceount. We have verified all the Assets of the Company and after providing sufficient Reserves for possible losses find that on December 31st, 1905, the total Assets amounted to $438,788,015 .39, and are fully worth that sum. We have tested the clerical accuracy of the Insurance Reserve as certified by the Aectnary of the Company, which amounts te $379,151,063.70, and exceeds that required by the Insurance Department of the State of New York by the sum of $7,201,720.00 ; and having made a provision of $5,589,755.00 for all other Liabilities, we find that there was on De"mhq 31st, 59 to 6. The first spaaker to oppose the meas- | ure was Gans of Red Bluff, who toak | the stand that while some of the State| offices should be in San Francisco the majority ought to be kept at the State| capital, where, he maintained, their du-| equired their service. He said| s ne reason for the erection | State building in the city, as for| many years past the State has been able | to do without such a building. Gans| further said that at this time, when the | State has been called upqn to meet such | extraordinary expenditures it could not| afford to allow San Francisco the| \mount named in the appropriation for | the erection of a building commensu- | ate with the dignity of the State. He said that the men with Rastern capital | :ave expressed sufficient confidence in he future of San Francisco and that H 1905, a balance of $54,047,176.29 available for Dividends on Participating Policies (including Deferred Dividend Policies at the end of their several accumulation Periods), and for Contingencies. This balance exceeds that claimed by the Company in its Annual Report for 1905. ! The general administration of the Company is well organized, its management is sound, its business methods and system of collecting premiums are effective and economical, and its books and records are well and acourately kept. And WE HEREBY CERTIFY that the following Balance Sheei correctly sets forth the true financial eondition of the Company at December 31st, 1905, and that the accompanying Insurance Account for the period deseribed therein is eorreet.

Adjournment until 8 o'clock was then taken. Assessor Dodge of San Francisco ar- rived here this afternoon armed with a bill drawn by Garret McEnerney of the greatest importance to Ban Francisco. This bill permits the Assessor of the metropolis to assess the unsecured per- sonalty of the city on the basis of the roil of the last fiscal vear and to cor- rect the various assessments on proof of error. In other words, it vests the | Assessor with equalization powers. “While the fact is not | known,” said Mr. Dodge this evening, “we are in possession of records that will enable us to reconstruct a com- Klna record. The Tax Collecter saved is records relating to realty and per- sonalty secured by realty. and in the basement of the City Hall stubs. have been found carrying the record of the unsecured personaity. Upon these rec- ords we will have the nsw personalty roll, which will enable us to place ahout $5,000,600 more on the record than would otherwise be possible. Of course there generallyment te-day an amendment providing that the charter amendments made by the cities must be ratified by three-fifths of the voters of the cities was added and in this shape the measures passed. Jones of San Francisco began the debate on the final passage of the bill. At the conclusion of his remarks he was opposed by Dorsey, who insisted thet the measure as it came from the Senate gave too much latitude te the citles. o Hartman of San Francisco, who has been much interested in the welfare of the bill that is of first importance to his city, hurriedly whispered to Cogh- lan, who then presented the amend- providing for a three-fitths ratification by the voters which was first suggested by Hartman. As a compromise measure it was a success and practically Insured its passage, These who opposed the measure were: Amerige of Fullerton, Burge of Merced, Busick of Sacramento, Cleve- land of Watsonville, Cror eta~ luma, Devlin of 3“1:?:"'%‘0::;' ":x Bakersfleld.
