tended to apply only to steam railroads,
and that In consequence the assessing Of
street railroads, even though they oper-
ate in two or more counties, must remain
in the hands of the respective County
Assessors.
Mayor Phelan's fears were aroused on
this subject by the dangerous proximity
of the Market-street Railway Company s
tracks to the San Mateo County line.
They now extend to within about one
thousand feet of the boundary between
that county and San Francisco. The
Mayor is apprehensive that this thousand
feet may be bridged, and that the line
may even be extended so as to lap over
into the neighboring county, thus, accord
ing to the present condition of things,
taking the power of assessing the entire
railway system of that corporation from
San Francisco's Assessor and giving it
to the State Board of Equalization. With
the very small interest that some of the
counties represented on the Board of
Equalization have in street railroads of
any; kind, it is feared that San Francisco
would be a great sufferer from the appre-
hended change. The ideas of some of the
members of the Board of Equalization as
to the value of the Market-street Rail-
way Company's property might fall far
short of that of the local Assessor.
Should the Market-street Company ex-
tend its lines by ever so few feet into San
Mateo County, this action would, accord
ing to the prevailing Interpretation of the
constitution, give jurisdiction to the State
Board of Equalization.
It is we'll known that about a year ago
the Market-street Railway Company con-
templated asking for a franchise to ex-
tend it's cars to the San Mateo County
line. but no application was made to the
Supervisors, and nothing has been heard
of the proposition since.

"HROUGH the fundamentally of an
apparently insignificant resolution
passed by the Supervisors last Mon
4 day an issue of the greatest i'm.
portance to the taxpayers Of this city was
submitted to the City and County Attor-
ney. 1t involved the question of who had
the right to assess. electric or other street
car lines operated in more than one coun-
fv-whether the County Assessors of the
different counties in which such road was
operated or the State Board of EQualiza-
ton.
The resolution in question asked the
City and County Attorney. to pass upon
the issue In relation to the San AIateo and
San Francisco Electric Railroad. whose line
extends from this county into that of San
Mateo, and which is now assessed by the
State Board of Equalization. 1t is known,
however, that the inspiration for the in
PRODUCTION of the resolution came from
the fear that the same question might
soon have to be decided in reference to
the Market Street Railway Company, and
not from any great desire to secure con-
troll of the assessment for the: San Mateo
and San Francisco. line for the Assessor
of this city and county.

following provision. under. the head of
revenue and taxation: :: '.-..

Mr. Watt replied that Stockton no doubt
was entitled to recognition, but the Val

He thought the shops now at bakersfield,
Fresno and Stockton were sufficient for
present purposes and for some time to
come. However, he would lay the case
before the Santa Fe officials, who no
doubt would favorably consider the rep

FROM HERO TO BURGLAR.
John Allen, an ex-Soldier, Arrested
for Breaking Into a Cigar-Store.

John Allen, an ex-soldier, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Policeman MORT
arity and booked at the City Prison on a
charge of burglary. He claims to have
been a member of the Twenty-third In
fantry and to have been shot in the head
and leg at Manila in July last. He was
confined in the hospital there, and last
month was discharged, owing to disa-
bility.
Early yesterday morning H. Goldwater
of 211 Fourth street, who had been play
ing poker in club rooms in the rear of
Albert H. Rademakers cigar store, IT'S
Market street, saw the shadow of man
behind the counter in the store. He went
inside and caught hold of the man. who
proved to be Allen. Goldwater was
threatened with death if he attempted to
hold Allen, and, as there was no police
man in sight, he let him go.
Yesterday afternoon Goldwater notified
Captain Spillane that the burglar was
lowering around the place again and
Policeman Moriarity was sent to arrest
him. Allen does not deny that he went
into the cigar store by climbing over the
iron railing, but thinks he is all right, as
he did not steal anything. He had been
ten years in the army.

NELSON DINGLEY, of Maine,
leader of the floor of the Republi-
can side of the house of represen-
tatives and representing the second
congressional district of Maine,
died at Washington Friday from
heart failure due to extreme weak
ness resulting from pneumonia.
In speaking of Mr.. Dingley's death
Senator Hale said: SIN the present
condition of political affairs Gov.
Dingley's death is a great national
loss. In all questions relating to
finances, to the revenues of the
country and the adjustment of the
fiscal questions Mr.. Dingley was
above all others and authority.
It is difficult to say who can take
his place. He had the confidence
of his associates in the house, the
confidence of the senate, the con.
fdence of the president and the
confidence of the entire country,
Maine will especially lament him.
Early and late he had devoted him
self to the interests of the state
and without distinction of party,
all believed in his fealty, integrity
and fidelity.

by all who look to the future for

confined to very brief period inn
