ASSESSMENT Up TO
60 PER CENT MARK
Real Estate Board Prepares Re-
port on San Francisco's
Taxable Valuation
Reliable Data That Will Be Sub
mitted to the State Board
of Equalization

San Francisco is already assessed for
60 per cent of it's realty value for pur-
poses of taxation. This is the con-
clusion that has been reached by the
San Francisco real estate board. Facts
that are conclusive will be submitted
by the board, through the proper
source, to the state board of equaliza-
tion. The real estate board has been
engaged busily and effectively in col
lating data and preparing a showing
that have weight To bring the facts
out clearly the city has been divided
into six districts, which are described
as follows: Western addition, west Of
Fillmore street; Western addition to
Larkin street, including the west line
of Fillmore street; Richmond and sun
set districts; Mission district; the 90
varas; the 100 varas
A. L. Harrigan is chairman of the
joint committee of the real estate
board that has been investigating. and
he is also chairman of the committee
on the Western addition district west
of Fillmore street. With him are
Shainwald, Buckbee & Co., Burnham &
March company, and Abrahamson Bros.
& Co. The other districts are repre-
sented by the following: Western ad-
dition west OF Larkin street,. w.
Wright & Co., Landry c. Babin COM
pany, Guy T. Wayman; Richmond and
Sunset-William de Wolf, George c..
Belvel, Oscar Heyman, and Hoag &
Lansdale; Mission district-Charles T.
Spader, d. Coffin, Davidson, Ashton &
Gardiner; 50-varas-Frank Won Rhein.
William Magee, A. c. Boardman. J. II.
Speck; 100 varas-F. r. de Lisee A. j.
Rich, Josiah n. Howell and Phil Kerner.
The method of investigating re-
garding the real values of the realty
in these several districts and descrip-
tions of holdings has been simple and
direct. The actual prices received for
properties that have been sold and that
can be considered as fairly representa-
tive of values have been ascertained,
and it is from these returns that the
fact appears to be luminous that the
60 per cent Of assessment that is the
aim of the state board of equalization
as reported, has actually been reached
in this city.
The work of investigation has been
proceeding several weeks. A committee
composed of Messrs. A. l.. Harrigan.
James G. Jones, William de Wolf.
Charles T. Spader. Frank Won Rhein
and F. F. de Lisle is engaged in per-
fecting the report to be submitted A
session was held yesterday. It is pos
sible that the work will be completed
today. Such is the expectation. A
great deal of interest has been mani
tested in the investigation. Much
testimony has been heard, and all
available records have been scanned
carefully.

PLEAD FOR VOTES
FOR PHI. MCCARTHY
Ardent Supporters and Candi-
date Himself Address IngIe-
side Union Labor Club
Present Administration Accused
OF Entering Conspiracy to
Lower Wage Scale

Aided by Andrew Gala gher, Michael
Casey and half a dozen other leaders
OF organized labor, p. H. Mccarthy
pleaded for support last night before
the lngleside union labor club. He at
tucked the incumbent government, and
used the points brought out to emphar.
size what he declared the workingmaI
should have and would possess were his
candidacy crowned with success Nc
Carthy dwelt chiefly upon what he as
serted was the present subservient po-
siuon OF the union labor man in San
Francisco. and the reasons for that al
legged condition.
Times are hard in San Francisco
now, Mccarthy said, and the reason
for it the businessmen long ago dis
covered II is because the workmen
Of the city are not receiving the wages
they formerly were granted and be-
cause so many of them are and have
been out Of work. When workmen
were receiving a living wage you
heard no talk OF dullness, for then
money was in circulation. The work
ingman was really living. He was
getting the things Of life to which he
is entitled.
SAYS WAGES WERE LOWERED
But the persons in power lowered
his wage. The businessmen them
selves did this, the merchant did it
and the city government did it. And
when the $3.50, 600 or $500 600 in wages
that formerly went through the chan
nels OF trade was stopped the mer-
chants bvery soon found that they were
not as prosperous as before. They
wondered then how they could ever
have dreamed that the workingman
was getting an extortionate wage.
IF am elected wages will so back
to their past figures. I will make San
Francisco the city it was-a city in
which decent, hard working and God
fearing people will be proud TO live"
Andrew Gallagher stated, in a terse
address. that he was mounting a public
platform for the first time in his life
to denounce the present administration,
10 declare that 1t had ridden into power
on the backs OF the people, and TO
urge the workingmen TO stand by the
union labor ticket throughout.
SCORE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION
Michael Casey also attacked the
present regime. and pleaded for Nc
Carthy's election.
John A. Kelly. a candidate for super
visor; H. NJ Alexander, candidate for
treasurer: Robert Knowles, the ice
man." candidate for supervisor. and
John Sullivan. candidate for police
Judge. also indorsed Mccarthy, and
asked for their respective nominations.
s T Arnold presided over the meet
ing. which was held in Mohawk hall,
and H. F. Anderson acted as secretary.
