ASSESSOR DODGE CALLS
McELVAINE TO ACCOUNT

declares that wherever such ad-
vances were put into effect the
assessment was raised on all sur
rounding property.
Dodge repudiates the insinuation
that he had inside information" as
TO the intentions of the board, and
regrets" that MeElvaine did not
see fit TO make his statements be-
fore the board while it was in ses-
sion in San Francisco, instead of
reserving them for publication
through the Los Angeles newspa-
pers. In Los Angeles, McEIvaine,
after praising the fairness of the
southern assessors, is quoted as
saying:
In San Francisco the appraisers
were asked to set the value upon
certain pieces of property there.
This was done. Then, by a peculiar
coincidence, the county assessments
on those particular pieces of prop
erty were raised. although the val
allowed to remain the same as in
the past. This indicates that the
assessor of San Francisco kept him
self informed"
Dodge denies that any parcels of
property have been increased In
valuation without an according in
crease of valuation on surrounding
property, shows how every increase
has been determined upon added
value of the property in question,
and denies absolutely that he had
any information regarding the
pieces that were to be selected for
investigation by the state board of
equalization. He declares that he
is willing to bring proof of his as
sertions before the state board il
McElvaine will put his insinuations
in the shape of formal charges.

BREEZY SESSION
OF THE BOARD IS
HOT WITH DISPUTES

Los ANGELES, Aug. Sl.-The early
part Of the days hearing of the state
board Of equalization was bitter in
the extreme. The state board had
asked the local realty beard some time
go to prepare valuations on selected
properties. The realty men decided
that the work could not be done in the
two or three months allowed. The
state board then employed three sp-
praisers-Eimer Harpham, a civil en-
Eineer; W. A. Varcoe. a real estate
dealer Of Los Angeles. and Henry Hart.
appraiser for a local bank. These men
returned three separate sets of valu-
auons- Harpham and Narcoe were
very high and Hart exceedingly low.
The state board asked them to con-
slider the matter in conference to see
Il they could reach common estimates.
They met and signed a report showing
valuations near the top figures.
Ten members OF the real estate
board also met and agreed on figures
slightly above those fixed by Hart.
During the noon hour President Will
liam Garland of the realty board Wis
tied Hart's home and brought back an
affidavit, in which Hart said that his
lower estimates were correct. The aff-
davit continued:
ANY compromise or raise in those
figures was prompted solely by an
earnest request fro-n the members of
the state board Of equalization that 1
compromise get toget er with and
sta-ad with the distorted ard extremely
high apprafsements son the same prop
erty by two other appraisers. Against
my viii, best judgment and protest l
submitted TO such a compromise and
which ! now regret"
The reading Of the affidavit By Gar
land precipitated an immediate uproar.
I want TO say that's absolutely
5slsei" shouted Chairman Brown to the
state board.
NO such representations were made
70 Mr.. Hart"
His colleagues in the board and the
two appraisers also denounced the
statement as false.
Equalizer McElvaine took violent ex-
Ception to a report OF one of the ap-
praisers placing a valuation of $500. 900
on the plant of the Los Angeles Times
Major McGinnis had that done" Nc
Elvsin cried out.
Major McGinnis is the tax agent OF
The Santa Fe, and McElwaine says he
wants to raise assessments in Los An
Eeles to tighten the burden of the rail-
roads
The state board left for the north
tonight TO hold further hearings in

Assessor Washington Dodge has
addressed to Chairman Alexander
Brown of the state board of equal
ization an open letter in answer to
an interview given by Jeff McEl-
vaine, southern member of the board,
TO a Los Angeles newspaper. Dodge
not only defends himself against
insinuations directed against him by
McElvaine, but challenges the latter
to put his charges in such form
that they may be answered in an
open session of the board.
In his interview, McElvaine stated
that by "a peculiar coincidence the
assessments on certain pieces of
San Francisco realty were raised
by Dodge after these pieces had
been selected by the state board of
equalization for investigation, and
added that the increase was made
on these particular parcels with
out a corresponding increase on
surrounding property.
Dodge calls attention in his let
ter TO the fact that when. his list
of appraisements was READ last
week before the board of equaliza-
tion. McElvaine remained silent.
The opport snity-was given at that
time for Interrogation regarding
the San Francisco county assess
ments. but no question was raised
relative to any of the local assess
ments.
In his answer to yNIcElvaine's in
terv;ew. Dodge denounces as false
the statement that he might have
received information as to the par
ticular parcels OF property with
