plete the board granted a reduction
from s210,00O to 100000.
o. T. Johnson appeared before the
board to request that, owing to the fact
that his lots at the corner OF Fourth
and Broadway were but ninety feet
deep, while they were assessed the same
as the adjoining property, which is 1865
feet deep, that he be allowed a reduc-
ton. The board took $4,000 off the
roll.
Sheldon Borden appeared before the
board as the representative of the Los
Angeles-R Redondo railway to ask that
the assessment of $4,000 against the
franchise of the company be cancelled.
His reasons were that the place of
business of the corporation was Redon-
do Beach and not Los Angeles; that
the road owned no franchise in Los
Angeles but came into town as far as
the corner of Jefferson street and
way, and hence up town over the
tracks of the Los Angeles railway COM
pany. The board took the question
under advisement.
The assessment Of $4,000 against the
Grand View Presbyterian church was
cancelled as the representative of the
church showed that the building was
erected with church money and for
church purposes and was therefore not
subject to taxation.
Just before the board adjourned the
assessments against each of the follow
ing institutions was fixed at $100: The
Barlow sanitarium, the Salvation Army
and the Salvation Army rescue home.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-16

The city council, sitting as board of
equalization on the assessments as rem
dered by City Assessor Evan Lewis,
finished it's work late yesterday after
noon after weeks sessions and ad-
journed sine die.
The sessions of the board were
marked by the business methods en-
ployed and the rapidity with which
business was transacted. Councilman
Smith of the Fifth ward and known as
the business mems representative in
the council, was made chairman of the
board when it convened last Monday
and when adjournment took place
yesterday the citizens present took oc-
casiop to compliment the president
and members of the board on the sue
cess of their undertaking.
The assessment on the property in
the city as made by Assessor Lewis
foots up to about $165, 100000, clear
gain of over $31, ,OOO, 900 above last years
assessment. Considering the magni-
tude Of the work in hand and the vast
number Of objections were received,
and those considered well grounded and
sustained present a still smaller figure.
Altogether the board deducted about
$325,000 from the assessment as levied
This represents less than one-fifth OF
per cent of the aggregate, and also
indicates that the people considered
the assessment just and equitable
Many of those asking for reductions
had failed to file a statement with the
assessor of their property and so an
arbitrary assessment had to be made
based on the assessment last year.
Peculiar Errors
This system brought out some
was assessed $4,000 on Improvements
for house which was supposed to be
! standing on one of his lots, but he
managed to prove to the board that
the house had been moved away and
was no longer his property A clerical
error placed a $1,000 assessment on a
5000 lot and a second error allowed
the owner of the said lot a $4,000 re-
duction.
Throughout the sessions Of the board
the tendency of the councilmen was to
hold up the hands of the assessor in his
endeavors to levy a fair and equitable
assessment. Changes were made only
upon the recommendation Of the as
SCISSOR or when some good cause was
shown the board. Friday the coun-
eilmen refused to grant the petitions
from the banks which demanded that
the assessment be taken from their
franchises.
Yesterday the large land owners
asking for redress Jared better. Ex-
] Councilman Robert Todd appeared Al
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-16

attorney for H. w. Hellman to ask
reduction in the assessed value of
the H. w. Hellman property at Fourth
and Spring streets. The board took
the question under advisement until the
afternoon, when the request was grant
ed. Owing to the fact that the build
ing is a new structure, just completed
at the time of the assessment, it was
not considered fair to assess on the
full value and it was ordered changed
on the books from $4sO,00O to $42O,OOo A
$4,000 reduction was also allowed on
lot owned by Mr.. Hellman near the
corner of Tenth and Hill streets.
Assessment Reduced
Attorney Clarence Miller and Man
ager L. L. Elliott of the Merchants
Trust company appeared to ask that
the assessment on that company's fran
chise be reduced from 100000 to more
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-16

reasonable amount, as on the first Mon
day in March their building was not
complete and they had been in busi-
ness but one month. After considera-
ton the board reduced the assessment
on this section of the company's prop
erty to $4,000.
After the executive session in the af-
ternoon the board allowed Kaspare
Cohn a reduction of $4,000 in the as
sessment on his fiatiron building
standing at the intersection of Main,
Spring and Temple streets.
Former Mayor M. P. Snyder appeared
before the board and requested that the
assessment on the cash in the Co
Operative Savings bank be reduced
to $sS,000. He explained that his bank
was a young institution, and, with one
exception, had rendered the largest
statement of cash on hand of any bank
in the city, and that in making out this
statement the cashier had neglected to
subtract the unsecured debts of the
bank He also stated that the most of
this money was on deposit and subject
to check, and he did not think the bank
should pay more taxes than other and
much larger banks. The board agreed
with him and allowed him reduction
of $25,000.
Representatives of the Home and
Sunset Telephone companies vigorously
protested against the assessment Of
$50, 900 placed against each on account
of its franchise. This is practically an
increase of 100 per cent over last year,
and the corporation attorneys argued
that 1t was not just.
Assessor Lewis objected to any re-
duction being made, as he said he had
been most lenient with the corporations
in question and declared they should be
ashamed to protest. and really ought to
be charged 100000 instead of $150,00
The board took the question under ad-
visement and later granted a reduction
Of half what they asked, or $4,000
each.
Owing to the fact that the Lanker-
SHIN hotel property, at the corner of
Seventh and Broadway, was not and is
not at the present time entirely COM
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-16
Ward was the result.

If the railroad representatives ex-
pected to intimidate Ward they were
mistaken. The man who had the dis
tinction of levying a poll tax on Los
Angeles and actually collecting 1t, went
after the railway company in a way
which bids fair to bring out interest
ing developments when the other roads
enter protest.
Attorney Pope for the railway con-
tended that the assessment of 50, ,099,26S
upon the road was too heavy. He al
legged the road was not making any
money and had not paid any dividends.
He further alleged that even when i'm
provements were made it was neces-
sary to borrow the money.
And then Ward, who lives at Ocean
Park and therefore has daily knowl-
edge of the fight for passage to that
beautiful beach. arose in his wrath.
"This railroad talk is simply nauseat-
ing and disgusting" he, said. "I have
to ride on that line often enough to
know that a passenger has to fight to
get on the car. They have the biggest
freight, passenger and traffic trade of
any line in the city and often make
between $4,000 and $4,000 day. To
hear the attorneys talk about their
roads one would think the road was
about to be turned over to a receiver
as old junk"
The case was finally turned over to
the board and decision will be made
next week.

tives' desk at police headquarters at
10 o'clock last night H. Lyman, 1872
Beale street, gave this lucid description
Of how his horse and harness had mys-

as sign of my station as sign of the
Mathatma, did wear the white robe of
purity and around my brow bound the
snowy turban. And 10 on the second
day from his address did he start a
class on the floor below me and
visited unto his shrine, and he had not
the true symbols. Instead of the image
of the almighty Buddha, had he but an
image Of the Ganesha. The Buddha of
the elephant face. Also had he a
smaller image, but his shrine was not
a true shrine and was not much good
He didn't have enough candles.
"And behold, he came forth and
fairly staggered for there this child
stood before me in a new robe. The
blazing white of purity surrounded his
form and as a special treat for the
ladies did he wear gold fringe on the
hem of his garment.
Calls Him Naughty Child
"And 1 said to him, brother, forget
not the fate of that brother who broke
his vows. That man was torn soul from
body, beware and trifle not with me.
Thou clairmest to be reincarnation of
the mighty saint Ra-hula who died
1850 years ago. Beware, his name will
not save thee, thou naughty child.
"And then spake he forth in the
language of the poets, saying: 'Oh
father, 1 am not in India and therefore,
to h-n with all that ID num-
merry And the next day he left, leav-
ing for his alleged temple in New
Mexico and leaving only small note
of thanks for the money and jewels
he and his partners had received.
"And then a woman, fair of face and
bright of wit, came to me and she
said: % Swami, where is Ra-hula
Twelve hundred dollars of my hus-
bands money did I give him for the
teaching of the creed and as much
more of my Jewels And I answered
Sister, thou art it. Thou hast beer
didst Hast thou ever been in New
Mexico?' queried I, and she assented

shuddered.
"And thus was it for many days
women and men, but chiefly women
telling of their sacrifices to enrich Ra.
hula and of their gazing at stars t.
see their fortunes, but Ra-hula comes
not back and their money is as nothing
"And now have two visions. TIL,
one is of Ra-hula, the stain resembling
the hue of a Hindoo removed from hi
