before the board and ratory flowed in
torrents, for the attorneys hoped to
bring about deep cuts especially in the
franchises. Some OF them declared
their franChi es We're worthless and
asked that they be assessed at a sma
sum. Only the one cut for the gas
company was allowed however, and
that was but 100000, leaving a
franchise assessment on these corpora
tions of So, 900 900, as against $24SO,CJ

The city council, by the dollars and
cents method yesterday denieC that it
is a corporation owned body. AS a
board of equalization the city council
refused to bulge one inch in favor of
the corporations and refused to lower
the city assessors figures of more than
5000, 900, 900 except by the mere bagatelle
of 1921 425.
This little reduction will make a diff
ference of less than $4,000 in the total
revenue of the city from taxes, and this
amount represents practically nothing
compared to the millions it will have to
spend on city improvements.
Although every public utility corpora
tion doing business in the city of Los
Angeles made vigorous protests. espe-
cfally on their franchises, the Los An
gcles Gas and Electric company was
the only one that received reduction
at all or the franchise. anu that was
because the city assessor has assessed
the gas franchise of this company at
s350OOO and the electric franchise at
$3.50. 900, the same amount that was
charged every other electric company
for its franchise. The gas -canchise
was reduced to $250,000.
Corporation Lawyers Astounded
The outcome of the deliberations OF
the board of equalization which was
held in executive session yesterday
morning was a surprise to every one,
and to no one more than the corpora
tiors whose requests for lower assess
ment on their franchise were totally
ignored by the board.
Dock Houghton was granted the
privilege of making the motions for the
board, and as the protests were called
off by the clerk and Houghton's stem
torian voice constantly reiterated,
Move the reduction be not allowed y
the representatives of the corporations
who had gathered i. the lobby to learn
the results slowly and painfully arose
from their seats and left the room, the
uncomprehending stares in their eyes
telling more plainly than words that
the action of the board which has a
reputation of being owned body and
soul by the corporations, was past their
understanding.
The question of franchises was the
hardest one the board had TO consider
City Assessor Lewis had advanced the
franchises of all the public utility cor
porations to high figure over that of
last year, some of them as much as
100 per cent. His figures for these
franchises showed $4,000,0O0.
