Progress Made in Some Sec
tions of the City.

Assessor SlcU0 lieu UlS duuuoA AopOA'
with the Board Of Supervisors yesterday.
In this he says:
The real estate assessment roll. con-
tanned in fifty-four volumes. amounts to
$276, 9S2, 515. of which S194. 278 800 was the
assessment against land and $50, 703, 10 was
the assessment on improvements. In ad-
dition to the above / also delivered one
volume containing assessment for the pay
ment of principal and interest on Dupont
street bonds. four volumes of real estate
indexes. and fifty-tour bock-books of maps
of all the lands and subdivisions of real
estate within the city and county of San
Francisco. The real estate assessment roll
shows decrease from last year Of S4,201.-
655 on land and an increase OF $780, $50
on improvements Deducting the sum OF
1887, 1O2 increase of personal property
from the decrease In the real estate we find
a net decrease of S54S,87 on real and per-
sOnal property from last year, the entire
assessme mt last year having been S346 $780,
Sl6 as compared to S346. PSI 943 for 1898.
} The increase in new buildings over and
above reduction made on old buildings is
So, 265, $50. The number Of new buildings
completed between the first Monday IN
March. 1892, and of 1898 compare favorably
with 1892. The decrease in assessment
value of these buildings in 1928 is largely
owing to the low price OF materials aud
the decreased cost OF mill work which en-
tiers into the construction of modern build
ings. The number of new and unfinished
houses on the first Monday in March OF
this year is fully up to that of 1892, and.
with few notable exceptions, equal to any
erected in the past. These buildings when
completed will add considerably to the
assessment roll of 1894. Real estate values

the progress and stability OF our

notably in acre property and in outside
districts where streets are not graded. and
where rapid means of communication are
wanting. has declined, com parativey few
sales are being made. and in justice to a
large class Of such property-owners in those
districts, a reduction in the assessment, in
accordance with the decrease in values,
has been made.
have been divided into homestead lots and
SUCH land to the extent OF $3.50, 900 low for
the first time appears as homestead prop
cry, thereby increasing the total of that
class over 1892. though a reduction of
S175. 900 was actually made. as against the
assessment of this class for the previous
year.
