SEEKS ADVICE
ON TAX RAISE
Board Asks Legal Opin-
ion as to Action Of
Equalizers.
Experts Will Continue Inves-
tigation of County Clerks
Records.

The Board of Supervisors yesterday re-
quested the City Attorney for an opinion
as to whether the raise made by the State
Board of Equalization applies to the val
uation upon which the ctty's tax rate OF
$1.076 is based. The resolution on the sub
ject which was adopted follows:
Whereas. The State Board of Equalization
did upon September 10, 1908 increase the as
sessment roll of the county Of San Francisco
by raising the same 30 per cent; and
Whereas, This Board OF Supervisors did
for city and county purposes upon assess
ment roll OF S422. 0OO. coo; therefore. be it
Resolved, That the City Attorney is hereby
requested to inform this board whether not
the raise as levied by the State Board of
Equalization affects the assessment roll Of
this city fixed by this board on July 8. 1908.
so far it applies to city purposes.
Auditor Baehr put a force of clerks to
work entering the raise on the assess
ment books, but says that it applies so
far only to the State tax. Baehr. how
ever, is of the opinion that the raise af-
fects the city's levy, but will await the
opinion of the City Attorney before en-
tering the valuation for the city's tax
rate on the rolls Assessor Dodge is of
the contrary opinion, and points to a pre-
cedent in 1892 when the raise of 10 per
cent was made to\apply only to the valu-
alton for the State tax, the lower valua-
ton as returned by the Assessor being
USED 10 calculate the city taxation.
The resolution authorizing the Hassell

sity fund to defray the expenses of the
work was passed to print.
The resolution authorizing the payment
of $40 to ]. ]. Hassell and his employees
for expert services in the County Clerks
Office was finally passed.
The United Railroads was requested to

ceipts of 1915, ,296 Y on various branches.
Grades were ordered changed at certain

mont avenues and Congress, Tennessee,

Will BUILp BRIDGE.

The railroad company thereupon made the
following proposal: That in lieu of the con
struction of the proposed viaduct and the en-
trance to the market places. 1t would con-
tribute the sum of $4,000 toward the con-
struction Of a bridge across Channel street
from Third to Kentucky the remainder OF the
cost of construction of said bridge to be borne
by the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Rail
said company with this board'' and also
THAT said company would dedicate or con-
vey to the city for street purposes a strip OF
land twenty feet in width adjacent TO and
widening Fourth and Kentucky streets. cut
from such property said railroad compa nv
owns along the northeasterly line of Fourth
street southerly from Channel street and
along the easterly line OF Kentucky street
thus making a roadway 100 feet wide along
said streets.
Your committee after due deliberation has
deemed IL advisable to recommend the ac-
ceptance of said propositions in lieu of the
recommendations herein stated. believing that
the widening. of Fourth and Kentucky streets
would relieve the congestion to traffic that
may hereafter occur.
A proposition made by the company to pur-
chase the said market places under the pro-
visions of an act of the legislature. making

by your committee. 1t being not considered to
be for the best interests of the city.

Your committee deems it proper to express
its high appreciation of the work performed
by the engineering department of the Board
Of Public Works. and more particularly to
c. F. Grunsky. City Engineer. whose ability
and devotion to rublic interest have enabled
your committee to arrive at solution Of the
difficult problem. PRESENTED to it in the con-
sderation of the proposed franchise.
I'm view of the protests filed here"
said Supervisor Curtis, II am not pre-
pared to recommend the passage of the
franchise in its present form. 1 will say
that the changes exacted by City Engi-
neer Grunsky in the original ordinance
will cost the railroad company more than
$3.50, 600 We, however, feel that the COM
mercial interests of this city demand that
this franchise be granted 1t is only
within the last week that the railroad
company evinced any willingness to grant
any concession in the matter of the fran
chise and if there is any delay the final
passage of the grant will not be in the
hands of this board"
AGREES TO TWELVE TRACKS.
1--WE will agree to be limited to twelve
tracks on Sixteenth street" said Jere
Burke of the Southern Pacific Company
land widen the street by ten feet. If we
are compelled to fan out our tracks be-
yond Sixteenth street one-fffth of our ter
minal facilities will be lost for car stor-
age purposes.
Attorney Reed asked the board to limit
the tracks on Sixteenth street to two. but
Burke said the company would not con-
sent to such a condition. Replying to
question of Brandenstein as to whether
the company would open Seventeenth
street, Burke said the company would
not under any circumstances relinquish
any rights to Seventeenth street.
Braunhart moved that the ordinance
granting the franchise be amended so
that the tracks on Sixteenth street be
limited to twelve and that the agreement
Of the company to widen Sixteenth street
by ten feet be incorporated in the ordi-
nance Brandenstein wanted the board to
hold a special meeting to consider the
question.
Reed vigorously objected to the twelve
track proposition, saying it would be i'm
possible for heavy teams to cross them.
Booth said he would vote against the
ordinance in it's present shape and de-
sired to hear from the City Attorney as
to the possibility of opening Seventeenth
street.
1.-THE objections made by Mr.. Reed
should receive consideration" said Bran
denstein. He says that these tracks will
shut out traffic on Sixteenth street. The
objections have not been met by Mr..
Burke of the Southern Pacific Company"
1--WE want a highway to the water
front" said Reed. 1--WE can pass two
tracks, but we cannot pass twelve"
