BURDFN ZOE THE CITY.

II will couDel San Francisco alone to pay as
State taxes an increase of over $3.50. GOO. All
taxpayers in this city may now expect, owinS
to this action OF the board, to pay more than
they did last year as taxes. Our total tax rate
will be about the same as last year-S1 OF for
city and county and SO for State. making our
rate for this year 81 GO per 500. But the
assessed value of all property for State taxa
tion has been raised. thus increasing our taxes
This action of the board is a encouragement
to me personally. BY IL much OF the reHef to
certain real estate and buildings, which l had
hoped to afford by just reductions in valuations
and by properly assessing other classes OF prop
erty has been made impossible.
e one point which few taxpayers understand,
is that this raise in valuation applies only TO
the assessment for state purposes at the state
rate The valuation for city and county pur-
noses remains the same as that. fixed by me,
an which our local rate of 81 0I, as fixed by
oIr Board of Supervisors in July, will be col

have maid to the state taxes 81 SIS, 200;
In conclusion let me mention significant
circumstance, which may or may not snow the
value of any evidence presented by san FRAN

board The state rate had the valuations re-
turned by County Assessors been allowed TO
stand would have been GO cents. several
