DECREASED AssEssMENTs.-Mr. c.
h. Callahan, commissioner of revenue,
has completed the apprasement of the
real and personal property of the city.
As heretofore stated the assessment is
less in 1899 than it was in 1898, when
IL summed up about $5,05O,O00. The
depreciation will bring the value this
year below 100000 and upon this
basis the finance committee will report
lis estimates for taxation. The loss
has been mainly upon personal proper
ty aud the striking from the assessment
books of the rolling stock of the Wash
ington Southern Railway, which prop
erty is not now assessed in this city.

REFUSE
TO PAY ASSESSMENTS
Affairs of the Union Bank Are
as Badly Tangled as
Ever

SAN JOSE, June 27.-The SO per share
assessment levied by the directors of the
Union Savings Bank became due yester-
day. Up to that time but one person, II.
J. Wallace, had paid the assessment. A
few days ago he paid 5000 in on twenty
shares This looks rather discouraging
to depositors.
At yesterdays meeting of the directors
it was decided to bring suit against all
the stockholders to collect this assess
ment. The latter have till July Is to pay
up. Attorneys Hatch and Rea were in
against the delinquent stockholders and
to file the suits Immediately after that
date.
Yesterdays meeting of the directors
broke up in a wrangle. President Rea
and his colleagues are not working to-
gether. Rea has adopted a clever way
of trying to rid the board of Directors
Jones. Stock. Callisch and Eaton. The
latter four are inclined to fight the as
sion at the meeting, drew $50 out of his
pocket and paid the $40 assessment on the
share he represents as trustee for a minor
son, and asked that the balance be APP
piled on the 800 assessment due on the
ten shares Director Simpson represents
for son. Rea also proposes to pay
something on Director Dunlop's assess
ment The fact that the other four direct
ors are going to fight the assessment
and President Rea is playing smooth
little game to unseat them
1t is estimated that not over 20 per cent
of 900 the $40 per share assessment
ought to bring In can be collected and
then only after hard legal battles
