ONLY ONE COMPANY HEARD.
Yesterdays Inquiry by the State Board
Of Equalization.
San Francisco and San Mateo Rail-
road Not a Money-Making
Concern.

The State Board Of Equalization lis
tened yesterday to the arguments of
William Clayton, Secretary Of the San
Francisco and San Mateo Railway
Company, who asked for reduction
frow $15O,OOO, the 1895 assessment of
the road, it's franchises, tracks and
cars, and that it be assessed at $42, ,947.
The company claims that the fran
chise Of the road has never been prof
liable since it began to run, the money
expended being much in excess Of the
income derived the charter limiting
the fare to five cents for single fare
in each county, The roadbed was
poorly constructed in the first place,
the rails are light and the ties poor.
1t also claims that the average life
Of such equipments is about five years,
and that in the three years and three
months it has used up 80 per cent. of
it's efficiency, and that only 40 per
cent. Of the original cost, or $1,000
mile, Is all it is worth. The car bodies
are badly strained and the motor ma
chinery is antiquated and much re-
duced in value.
The road fell into receivers hands
and was sold to the highest bidder, re-
alizing 100000. This, Mr.. Clayton
claims was due to the fact that the
only bidders were parties who each
owned a part of the bonds, and that
their object in running up the price was
in order to make one or the other pay
a larger percentage on the bonds
owned by them. The sale included the
power house. In 1895 the State Board
of Equalization assessed the track,
cars and franchises for $150,000 and
the power-house and Improvements
at S64, $50, a total Of $214, $50, or Il
per cent. on the price realized at the
sale, which the road claims is more
than it would have brought under
other circumstances, and that $4,000
would have been the amount received
otherwise The road, 1t Is claimed,
has not only never earned interest on
it's capital, but has lost S1.OOO.00O to it's
projectors. The life Of the roadbed,
moreover, being five years, the rails
and poles, it is claimed, will all have
to be pulled up next year and sold for
junk and even the assessment asked
by the company is therefore too high.
Mr. Clayton answered a number of
questions relating to the property and
went into some details of receipts and
expenditures.
The North Pacific Coast, Pacific
Coast and Pajaro Valley Railroads
had been notified that the board would
listen to them yesterday, but they did
not appear, being possibly satisfied
with their assessments.
