FROM the sau Francisco Chronicle
Senator William Sharon appeared next
on the list. He was assessed for s., 00O,.
900 on the Palace Hotel building, and
desired reduction OF 81, 900, 900. The
Senator was sworn and stated that The
hotel was not paying nor would il pay
for seven or eight months. He could mo-
possibly sell it for S2,000,o00, and as i
had been great improvement to the city
he considered that the assessment shoulC
be reduced. He was a very large tax
payer, paying taxes on over S4,O04,0O(
worth Of property. The hotel would moi
pay five per cent per year on 81 ,00Q, 900
It was assessed last year for 81, 100000
He added that he does not receive dol
lar from the hotel.
Mr.. Strother-What did 1t COST
Senator Sharon-Well, il cost about
S5,0O0,O 900, but we had 10 pay SIG for
brick which now sell for $l1, and we had
to 20 very deep for q foundation.
The Senator was then excused, and q
discussion ensued upon the application,
the majority OF the Supervisors present
being In favor Of the reduction.
