Scared Into Hidfng-More Increases.
So far as the board OF equalization has
been able 10 learn. IL is not az all fashion
able at present 70 belong to the .Ano'' or
live on the hill occupied by that select
set Yesterday afternoon the board ad-
tourned about O'Clock ana took walk
through that portion OF the city. AL OF
the members had heard so much about
Dr.. Ramsey's lawn that they wanted to
see IL
Another thing the board has noticed of
late and that is that no one appears before
II wearing diamonds. Henry Thurman
was there yesterday and. when Mr.. Hea-
ton asked him about his diamonds. Mr..
Thurman said his wife wore the dia-
rnonds. not him. He did not know howmuch
they were worth either. and when Mr.
Heaton asked him IL Mrs. Thurman would
sell them for 500. Mr.. Thurman said he
did not know. He suggested that Mr.
Heaton go and see her about ii, but Mr.
Heaton said he was a member of an equal
ization board, not an assessor. The board
has evidently become tired of those petit
TONERS who simply appear and ask for a
reduction on general principles. and does
not pay much attention 10 such cases.
The personal assessment OF the San
Francisco shoe store was raised from
s1e.eo 10 $4,000 instead of 81. 900 as pro-
vided in the notice. Manager Brown OBJ
ing placed at sii000. claiming the stock
would not stand ii. He said that on April
], 1895. the stock inv0iced 200, cost price
and would have market value of sl3,0eo
He thought l. A. Treen's shoe stock was
heavier than his by p per cent.
