so much in evidence when the board is
divided on any question
Assessor Ward then explained that tne
preferred stock was valued at SSo'oo, Wi,ol
sum was bid for it on the Los Angeles
stock exchange March L. On that day inc
common stock stood at $74.50, and he salu
he considered the market Value OIL tne
stock fair basis for computation
He had then taken the aggregate Value
of the oomneny's stock and bonds divided
1t by half and substracted the value OF tne
tangible property. The remainder he con-
sidered the value of the franchise.
A. l.. Selig, general manager OF the Edl-
son company, was called to the stand ne
testified that the company had PAID diVi-
dends on only S40O0,O00 of the outstanding
preferred stock and that no dividend hsd
been paid on the common stock. lie ven
tured the opinion that If all OF the COM
mon stock had been offered for sale at the
stock exchange on the day Mr.. ward
quoted it would not have brought $I4.oO
q share.
On cross -examination he admitted that
Quitting the market with any stock would
result in a depreciation of its value, anu
even might cause stampede on that par
ticular stock.
Claim Franchise Unnecessary
Mr.. Selig claimed tnaJ franchise was
not necessary, under ruling OF the su-
preme court and many companies were
doing business similar to that of his COM
pany under a constitutional provision. he
declared the Edison company's franchlse
was not worth cents.
In summing up for the company, Attor-
ney George p. Adams said 1t was not true
that the preferred stock of the company
was worth SIS a share, and If Assessor
Ward thought it was the company would
sell him the whole 1000 shares in the
treasury for 81 share.
Ben Talks Back
There's a chance, Ben, to make half
million dollars" said Adams, turning to
the assessor.
Don't need the money, George" replied
Ward
mo, 1 always heard that Ben Ward
liked to fight better than anything else
He would rather worry along at $4,000
year than make half a million In bust
ness"
well, 1 can at least attend to my bust
ness, and that Is more than some others
1 know can do was Wards rejoinder,
causing a hearty laugh at the expense of
the irate attorney.
The matter was finally taken under ad-
visement and will be disposed of as rou
tine business

ASSESSMENT TOO
HIGH, THEY CLAIM
Edison Company Offers to Sell Its
Shares for Less Than the
Sum Fixed by the AS
SCISSOR

Equalization matters reached a critical
stage yesterday when the protest of the
Edison Electric company appeared before
the board and attempted to prove that
Assessor Wards figures were nearly a
million dollars too high.
The first clash came in the morning
when the assessor refused to state for the
edifcation of the attorney of the corpora
ton the source of. information upon
which he based his calculation.
Don't Have to, Says Ward
There Is not q word in the law to COM
pei the assessor to furnish the desired tes-
timony," said Mr.. Ward, land in defense
of my stand in this affair 1 contend that
the burden of proof that the assessment
is excessive is on the company"
When Hartley NJ Shaw, chief deputy
district attorney, was consulted he con-
firmed the assessors Interpretation of the
law, but added that the company could
call Mr.. Ward as a witness and the super
visors could decide whether he should an
swer all the questions put by the attor
neys.
IF the companies would not grant him
the courtesy of giving him the required in
formation at the time the assessments
were compiled it is up to them to prove
that the values he has placed on their
stocks and bonds is wrong" concluded
Deputy Shaw.
Assessor Called to Stand
Supervisor Eldridge moved that Mr..
Ward be called and required to answer the
questions. His motion was seconded by
Supervisor Wilson, and after a few mo-
ments of meditation Chairman Patterson
allowed the vote to be taken, himself vot-
ing for the motion, which carried by the
customary majority of one, that has been
