reduction if it found that the property there
had been over-valued in the assessment. To
make a reduction in such q case is an au-
thorlty conferred by law. The reduction hav-
ing been within the power of the board you
have no power to disregard the act; you must
obey it.
The case of People VS.. Ashbrry, above cited,
at page 61S reads as follows: "It may be ad-
mitted that if the alteration appearing to
have been made by the board be one within,
or which might, under any conceivable CIR
Gums tances, be within the power and author
ity of the board to make upon the assessment
roll, it would be the duty of the Auditor to
observe it in making the duplicate taxbook for
the use of the Collector. Thus, an order of the
board increasing or reducing the valuation OF
property borne upon the assessment book,
being the determination of a complaint made
in regard to the Assessors value OF the prop
erty, under sections 3673 and 1914 OF the act,
could not be properly disregarded by the Ludl-
tor in subsequently making the copy OF the
book, or adding up the valuations thereon.

THE REDUCTION INDORSE Ed
The City and County Attorney on
South of the Park
Taxes.
Horizontal Cut of Thirty Per Cent on
That District Declared
TO Be Legal.

City and County Attorney Creswell
rendered an important opinion yesterday
in the matter of the south of the Park as
sessments that were lowered by the Board
of Supervisors sitting as Board of Equali-
cation. The State Board of Equaliza-
tion objected to the reduction and Auditor
Broderick asked the opinion on the
matter.
The opinion which sustains the local
board is as follows:
William BroderSck, Esq, auditor OF the City
and County Of San FrGnciSco-DEAR SIR: have
been requested by the Judiciary Committee of
the Board OF Supervisors TO give you my opin-
ion of the LEGALITY of the action of the Board
of SUPERVISORS in red uclng the assessed value
of the property south of the park upon the ap-
plication of the Assessor, acting in behalf of
himself and the property-owners, so as to make
it conform to its true value and to equalize
the assessments of property on the assessment
book" Accompanying this request was let
ter addressed 10 you from the clerk of the
State Board of Equalization calling your at
Iention to the action OF The Board Of Super
visors in making the reduction.
Section 3672, Political Code, requires the
Board of Supervisors OF each county to meet
as a Board OF Equalization on the first Monday
OF July in each year, and to continue in ses-
sion not later than the third Monday in July.
The roll as equalized has been turned over to
you as Auditor and the Board of Equalization
cannot now make any changes in it.
The legality of the act of the BOARD in the
matter under consideration can only be de.
termined by court of competent jurisdiction
in an action commenced 10 test that question.
In the case of the People VS.. Ashbury, A.
CAL 6l9, tis held TO be your duty TO disre-
gard any order or proceeding OF the board by
which IL assumes an authority not conferred
upon it by law. In that case the Board of
Equalization hsd not attempted TO equaiize
an assessment as it was bound in law to do,
but endeavored to cancel or strike out an
assessment which IL had no power to do.
The board reduced the assessment in the
district south of the park. In equalizing the
roll it was the duty OF the board TO make the

that pulled him through and put him
in. Everything went on smooth and
all right for the first few months, but
by-and-by Dave took to race horses and
fghtin chickens, and whisky and cards
and the like of that. He went on from
bad to worse, and more and more of
it, till it was plum disgrace and scan

time was out by gracious the people had

dogs and died the natural death of a
ruint man.

man." says Uncle Jack, as he took the
knucllles of his left hand and mopped
out the salt water which by this time
had backed up in his eyes, "but I'll be

A Wonderful Old Man,

Twin wonder to me. Old man Jack Beas-

the flesh and he never has voted but
oncst in his life.

private opinion in regards to politics.
"I was a youngster then and didn't have
no better sense, but had hand in the
ruination of one good man, and prom
ised myself if l only got forgiveness for
that never would cast another vote
so help me God, and l neyerhave.
