THOSE ASSESSMENTS.
Expert Dunn Before the Finance
Committee.

The Finance Committee Of the Board Of
Supervisors held another session yesterday
morning to hear more of the charges Of
false assessments made by Horace Dunn,
expert of the late Grand Jury, against
Assessor Siebe.
One of the firms alleged to have been
been falsely assessed was Whittier. Fuller
& Co. William F. Fuller, the junior part
ner informed the committee that on March
], 1891, the firm had $40, coo worth Of mer-
chandise, but 100000 Of it was transient
and 100000 in unbToken packages. 1t also
had 1888 in cash and $4,000 in accounts.
Mr.. Fuller said that the firm had not refused
to make a sworn statement to the Assessor.
but further stated that 1t had never been
required Of it, preferring rather than swear
to the value of assets to be assessed arb-
trariy, feeling assured that if Overassessed
it could have redress from the Board Of
Equalization.
Chief Deputy Assessor HerZer stated that
the firms assessment had been raised from
STA, 900 10 100000 because it would not
make sworn statement, and the reason
given for its refusal was because the firm
was 10 so much litigation.
Mr.. Fuller said that he had told the
Assessor that the firm had 100000 outside
this city, and il was that information on
which the Assessor based his statement
made in defense of Dunn's charges
Dunn asked Mr.. Fuller to explain how it
was that the appraisers put at 81, 1884 600
the value of his fathers estate. which rep
rcsents three-eighths of the firm Mr.. Fuller
replied that he did not know. He added,
however, that Mr.. Whittier had offeIe
Sl,264,0OO for that interest, and that he
(FuleD subsequently purchased it for
81, 4O0C coo. He thought the good will of the
firm worth at least S500,000
All questions asked by Mr.. Dunn were
answered by Mr.. Fuller and the Deputy
Assessor. On motion of Supervisor ia ckson
the investigation was closed and the case
taken under advisement.
