ASSESSMENT
MAY Be RAISED
The South of the Park
District Is Under
Fire.
EQUALIzERS DISAGREE.
The State Board Objects to the
Reduction of Thirty Per
Cent.
sIEBE STANDS TO HIS GUNS.
Changes In Valuations Declared to Be
Legal, and Broderick Has Not
Yst Decided.
sIEBE STANDS TO HIS GUNS.

There is prospect that the property
owners in the district south of the park
will be disappointed regarding the 80 per
cent horizontal reduction made IN the
valuation of their holdings by the County
Board of Equalization.
While tie board was in session about
15O protests were received, stating that
the Assessor had placed the valuations
altogether too high and asking the board
to reduce them.
Deputy Assessor Herzer appeared before
the board and stated that the Assessor had
discovered that he had made mistake in
the valuation and that he would be per-
fectly willing, in fact requested a reduc-
ton OF 80 per cent.
The property involved carries a valua-
tion of nearly $780, 900, so that the reduc-
ton cuts quite a figure in the City's
revenue.
ing communication regarding the reduc-
ton from the State Board of EQUALIZATION
yesterday:
Hon. William Broderick, auditor, San Fran
cisco, Cdt.-DEAR SIR: The State Board of
equalization respectfully calls your attention
to a recent action of the Board of Supervisors,
acting as Board OF Equalization for the City
and County of San Francisco, in which they
mace horizontal reduction OF value OF prop
erty in certain district, and which they con-
slider an illegal act OF said board under sections
1874 and 1878 OF the Political Code.
The Supreme Court of this State has decided,
and we quote 81 California, page "a, and A
California, page GIG, that the auditor is to
disregard any illegal action of the county
board, and if you feel satisfied as to the ille-
gality of such action it is the opinion of this
board that 1t is your duty 10 disregard said
changes on the Assessment books. You might
consult with your City and County Attorney
IN regard TO the matter. Respectfully yours,
CHARLES Nj. COGLAN,
Clerk State Board of Equalization.
Owing to the strain of the work of the
Election Commission Mr.. Frederick has
not yet been able to look into the matter
but will give it his attention at an early
date.
The Assessors Office will fight any
| change in south of the park assessments.
Deputy Herzer said Yesterday that the
reduction asked by Mr.. Slebe had only
been requested after careful investigation
and that The Assessor had acted clearly
within his legal right in asking the re.
duction.
the fact that 150 property-owners had
asked for an equalization made the con.
sideration of the matter legal and gave
the board the right to equalize the entire
district.

RESCINDED THEIR ACTION
Supervisors Make Amends to
the Members of the Finance
Committee.
Municipal Appropriations Will Not
Be Considered Except in the
Regular Way.

The majority in the Board of super
visors took the back track yesterday on
the question of fixing the municipal ap.
preparation for the coming fiscal year and
made amends for the insult offered the
Finance Committee on Monday last.
At the request of a number of the mem
bers the Mayor called special meeting
and eight representatives of the various
wards showed up when Mr.. Sutro raped
for order. The absentees were Messrs.
King, Dimond, Taylor and Hobbs.
When the meeting had been called
together Supervisor Hughes, who was not
present when Supervisor Wagner's insult
to the Finance Committee was indorsed
by a majority of the mem bers, arose and
explained the reason for the meeting. He
stated that the previous action of the
board had evidently been taken under q
misapprehension, and that it was a
palpable insult to the Finance Committee
that should be apologiZed for and reme-
died at the earliest opportunity.
He said that in former years resolutions
had been passed calling meetings of the
committee of the whole to meet with the
Finance Committee to fix the appropri-
atoms, but that no effort had been made
to usurp the functions of the Finance Com
mittee, the idea being to allow the various
Supervisors to gain an idea of the appro-
priations so that they could act intelli-
gently when the Finance Committee,
which had worked up. all of the necessary
figures, reported.
In the present case the reading of the
resolution had been altogether mislead-
ing and probably not what its author
really intended. He moved that the reso-
luton be rescinded. When the matter
was put to vote there were no dissenting
voices, and the matter stands as though
the committee of the whole had never been
called

burn Of the Populist national executive
committee, arrived here unexpectedly last
evening from Thomson and Atlanta Ga.
where he and Committeeman IL, w. Reed
had been in conference with Mr.. Watson,
Populist vice presidential nominee.
1t is stated on good authority that Mr.

form Of an ultimatum two or three prop
ositions from Mr.. Watson looking TO the
latters recognition on the fusion ticket in
the different states The two were in con-
ference late last night, but nothing was
given out.
In discussing Watson's attitude Mr..
Washburn said;
"In the present campaign Mr., Watson
appreciates the necessity Of making such
arrangements as will unite the silver
forces. He wants Bryan elected and Nc
Kinley defeated, but to accomplish this he
thinks there must be an honorable union
of forces rather than a surrender, and that
his party must be recognized in this fight
