.CN AN FRANCISco's Board of Super
visors will have a half-million
~ dollars, more to expend than was
estimated
The assessment rolls are completed
and show an increase of $4,000. 900 over
the amount on which the board esti-
mated its revenue for the ensuing year.
Hence the large increase in the amount
OF money that will come into the hands
of the Tax Collector. Expenses were
cut In many of the county departments
to meet the decreased income, and it
is apparent that the Supervisors will
experience considerable joy in cutting
the new pie that is so unexpectedly pro-
vided for them. and the administration.
The total of the assessment roll as
announced in the annual report is $685.
100000 Even allowing for delinquent
cies this will bring into the city treas
ury a surplus, as has already been
stated, of approximately 100000, and
will permit of some of the necessary
public improvements:
According to Assessor Dodge, the as
sessment' roll of this year showed a loss
of $149,00o,000, or decrease of more
than % per cent over the preceding
year. This has been largely due. he
stated, to the decreased values of real
estate in certain sections of the city,
and will necessitate complete revision
of property values for the purpose OF
assessment during the next twelve
months.
The loss on the roll by reason of the
destruction of buildings amounted to
s54,ooo,ooo.
The destruction ofrpersonal property
was even greater in comparative de-
gree. and amounted to ss4.5oo.ooo.'
eItis likely said the Assessor. that
our. rolls Will probably show many err
rors. but this has been entirely I'M
avoidable. We were fortunate in re-
storing the rolls in any manner in the
time allowed BY law we request an
property owners TO examine the rolls.
in order that they may ascertain
whether any error has been made either
in the description or the valuation of
their property. The books will be open
for one week at Mowry Hall for this
purpose.
During the last three weeks the AS
SCISSORS office has collected and paid
into the city treasury as taxes on un-
secured personal property $4,000. Poll
tax. collections amount to $ss.937.
The roll Is in eighty-one. volumes,
sixty of which are devoted to real .es-
tate, seventeen to personal property
and four to indexes.
The board will meet from day to day
a. board of equalization to pass on
the applications. The State Board of
Equalization has ordered the time ex-
tended for equalization of assessments
to Saturday. July IS. inclusive. The
Auditor will have until Saturday, Au-
gust IS, to revise the roll and report to
the State Controller thereon.

Denver Treasurer Dead.

Denver. - Charles w. Badgley.
county treasurer of Denver, died at his
home, 1870 Franklin street, Tuesday
night at S:45 o'clock from neuralgia of
the heart. His death was unexpected,
although he had been ailing for the
last ten days.
Mr. Badgley was president of the
local Dartmouth alumni and also was
affiliated with the University Club. He
came to Colorado first in 1876 and
operated in mining in Georgetown,
then boom town. He remained there
but short while and returned to Mil
waukee. In 1885 Mr.. Badgley came
back to this state and opened up a
mining and milling machinery busi-
ness.
He was leading member of the firm
of Badgley & Watkins, succeeded in
later years by c. w. Badgley & Co.
The business of the concern was
absorbed by the Mine & Smelter Sup
ply Company. In other lines of bust
ness Mr.. Badgley was heavily inter-
ested, including a flour milling con-
Germ at Longmont.

SAN FRANCISCO NEEDS.
They are Still Urgent and May Get
Worse.

Denver.-The Colorado end of the
relief work in San Francisco is going
! along smoothly and Coloradans are
| doing much towards bringing order out
of chaos. Mrs. IZetta George OF Den
yer, who has supervision over the Colo
rado work, writes the Denver Chamber
of Commerce under date of May 18th,
that she and other relief workers are
much in need of blankets and shoes.
She has been telegraphed to use her
own judgment in making purchases or
these articles.
This is her letter in full:
"The large box of women's and chill
dren's underwear arrived last evening
and has been greatly appreciated by
the poor receiving it to-day. The Den
yer Chamber of Commerce is certainly
doing a great work.
Every day brings a number of Colo
rado people to see me. Mr.. Ramsey
of Santa Rosa, has decided not to go to
Denver at present. 1t does seem as
though San Francisco people ought to
be all provided with clothing by this
time, but l find people every day need
ing it, and especially shoes and bed
ding.
Il spent this afternoon at Mrs.
Scott's, 305 Buchanan street. She is a
leading club and society woman here
and has opened her beautiful home as
a relief station. 1t was in this house
President Mckinley stayed when in
San Francisco. Mrs. Scott is devoting
every moment of her time to this work.
and is, as everyone else, discouraged
| at the lack of decentralization
even those who have lived here all
their lives, seem utterly at sea. So do
you wonder that l was so for week or
more?
"As 1 began this letter we had a
severe earthquake shock. You cannot
imagine the weirdness accompany
ing it.
ut was so severe that we all ran
quickly to the street.
''If San Francisco rebuilds it will be
a brave people who call it home.
How blest Denver is.
81 telegraphed this evening for some
blankets. Would you also be so kind
as to send some outing flannel? The
club women will make it up into gar
ments for the nurses of the city who
lost everything. These nurses were
coming 10 MTS. ScoCI residence ali
afternoon for clothing.
Everyone here thinks the hardest
times for San Francisco are yet to
come, but ere that time 1 trust there
will be more order in the relief work.
We are watching for the last car you
sent. 1t still takes much time to get
about the city, as few car lines are
operating.
81 am wondering If you get my tele-
grams and letters? do not get third
of those forwarded from my Office in
Denver. l have written to your COM
mittee several times a week.

Verdict of MansIauqhter.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Trinidad Wednesday says: Voluntary
manslaughter was the verdict rendered
by jury this evening against Arthur
Lemereaux. the fourteen-year-old boy,
who, with Raymond and Roy Robinson,
were tried for the murder of John Par
lapiano, an Italian rancher, near Hast
lngs, May 7th. The verdict of the jury
was surprise, as an acquittal was
confidently expected. The attorneys
for both sides agreed that the charge
against Roy Robinson, who is only
eight years of age, would be dismissed.
as there was nothing to show that he
took an active part In the killing of the
Italian.

rounded by Flames Stick
to Posts.

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 24.-Word has
been received from Port Duffn, a small
coast town some sixty miles east of
this city, Of the destruction by fire
Of the passenger steamer Strathcona,
owned by the Halifax & Canso Steam
ship company, bound from this port
for Canso and Guysborough.
That no lives were lost is due prin-
cipally to the heroism of the engi
neers and fremen who stuck to their
posts until the steamer was beached
landed. In less than an hour after the
Bleaching of the steamer she was burned
to the water g edge.
When the cry of fire was raised the
widest confusion prevailed. The pas
their night clothes, rushed on deck and
made dash for the lifeboats, but the
crew prevented serious panic. The
boats were not launched, but were made
ready for use in case the flames COM
pletely enveloped the steamer before
land could be reached.
While the Strathcona was driven to-
wards land at top speed, the sailors
tried to fight back the flames with
streams of water. The drift caused by
the steamers rapid progress, however,
famed the flames into greater fury and
in a short time the entire after portion
of the vessel was on fire.
Down in the engine room the engi-
neers and fremen stuck bravely to
their posts. altho the flames had begun
to surround them. Not until the keel of
the steamer grated on the reef mile
from the entrance Of the harbor did
they abandon their dangerous positions
and rush to the decks. Then the boats
were lowered and all of the passengers,
together with the thirteen members of
the crew, found safety on shore.
