The State Board Of Equalization
Asked to Allow an Extension of
Time for the Purpose.

The Board Of Supervisors was engaged
all yesterday afternoon as a Board of
Equalization in hearing applications for
red uctions in assessments.
Upon Clinton's motion, Clerk Russell
was instructed to ask the State Board OF
Equalization for an extension of ten days
time in which to hear the statements Of
banks and corporations who will be cited
to appear and show cause why their as
sessments should not be raised.
Attorney 7. ID. Riordan made plea for
a reduction upon the property OF the
Kong Chow Beneficial Society and others

to be old and had greatly deprecated in
value and that the income from it is small.
Deputy Assessor Briggs said that there
was no doubt that the property had de-
creased in value, but said that If reduc-
tion was made every property-owner in
Chinatown would be c.amoring for re-
ductions. The petition was denied.
