Poverty of San Francisco.

A glance at the personal property roll of
San Francisco, says the Chronicle
Of that city, is calculated to i'm
press one with the idea that the community
is an aggregation of impov erished institutions
and individuals. The shrinkape Of values
which has been brought to the notice of
the assessor and his deputies is, to say the
least, alarming. In exact numbers the re-
duction in the personal property assessment
roll for lSsl-s2 is s32, ,7s9, 400. Accustomed
as California property owners are to the talk
about millions. an apparent loss to the COM
munity of nearly tbrty-tbree millions worth
of property is enough to make the most phil
osophic pioneer unusually thoughtful. Going
more freely into statistics, it appears that the
personal property assessment Of 1880 was
$37 ,947, ,074 The assessment of the follow
ing year was ss7 ,596, 900, and for 1882
was S55. 1872, 1928. The excess Of the assess
ment of lSs0-sl over that of 1880 was.
therefore. $40 94S 1926, while the excess Of
the assessment of 1882 over that Of 1879
so is only sl7, ,254.
In other words, it appears that the COM
munity Is to-day poorer by nearly thirty-three
million dollars than it was two years ago.
The wave of depression seems to have
swamped the fortunes Of all classes, but par
ticularly has it proved disastrous to the fnan-
cial giants. Millionaires whose treasure
vaults were supposed to have been impervi-
ous to any inuDdation of misfortune have ap-
parenily been reduced to ptiable condition
of impecuniosity. Great corporations that
were lifted on political stills above the reach
Of even the law have come tumbling down in
the food and been rolled up on the strands
of poverty, mere shadows Of what they once
