MANY MORE TO EXAMINE

The second meeting of the Board OF
tion was held last night in the board
room at the City Hall. State Control
Ter Colgan was present at the hear
ing.
Mr.. Swinnerton, on behalf of the
Sierra Investment Company, claimed
that $273,000 was too great an assess
ment. He said that $165,0Oo was fair
valuation. He claimed that the prop
erty had an old building on it and to
sell the land would necessitate the
tearing down of the building. Con-
troller Colgan raised the question OF
valuation as regards the $4,000 the in
surance companies carried on the
building. Assessor Dodge objected to
taking an insurance company's valu-
alton, as the law guides the Assessor S
office while the insurance companies
may take any risks they wish.
The application of William F. Bur
bank on behalf of the Pacific Union
Club for a reduction of the assessment
on that property from $4,000 was
denied.
There remains great number Of ap-
plications still to be disposed of and
the board adjourned till 2:3O this after
noon.

tions, denials and holdovers made by
