It is not altogether improbable that the
State Board OF Equalization may spring
some surprises at its meeting next Tues
day Last night the members could not
a gree regarding the raising Of the assess
ments OF various counties but there were
always three votes TO raise Alameda or
II per cent. When Mr.. Beamer positively
objected 10 having any county in his dis
trict raised. Messrs. Lou Brown and To-
land refused 10 vote to raise any Of the
counties. and there the matter was left.
Next Tuesday the State board Will hold
its final meeting. one Of the Equalizers
says that the assessments OF certain
counties may be reconsidered, and that if
this be done Alameda will certainly be
one Of these counties.
The Equalizers seemed TO be Of the opin-
ion that Alameda should be subjected TO a
small raise in order 20 equalze It with
san Francisco, which has been raised
many millions. The opinion prevailed that
Alameda, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Men
dOcinO, Glenn and d few other counties
should be raised but while some members
other members districts. they objected
to such a procedure in their own This
failure 10 agree resulted in all counties
not already passed upon being left at
their Assessors figures.
A comparison of the assessments OF Ala
media with other counties brought out
the most valuable property is assessed FOR
1920 q front foot. The most valuable prop
erty in Oakland reaches $1l00 per front
foot, and experts declare that. If any
thing, a comparison Of values favors Sac
ramento Compared with Los Angeles,
Alameda shows almost as much improve
ment during the past two years.
Chief Deputy Assessor Robinson, who
appeared before the State board, says he
does not believe any effort viii be made
ito increase this county. When l heard
some Of the figures Of other counties,
says Mr.. Robinson, II was surprised, and
now I believe that much of the property
OF Alameda County is still over-assessed.
There is no property in the city of Oak
land more valuable than the very best
property in Sacramento, and yet we have
several blocks OF property assessed nearly
double the amount assessed by Sacra-
menCO. This is surely not right. and there
IS need or a change somewhere l think
Alameda : assessment is as fair as any
assessment could be. We have taken into
consideration everything that could help
Us in arriving at intelligent values, and
have not depended upon any particular
mortgage or deed OF trust or considera-
ton in a deed or appraisement- We have
paid attention TO all these, and also 20 the
earning capacity Of properties, and have
no hesitation in saying that no Assessors
Office could have acted more justly or
more imparTially.'
