San Francisco, July s.-For several days
thousands Of teachers from all parts Of the
country have arrived here for the Central
Education Association Convention, which
was formally opened to-day. 1t is esti-
mated that sixty thousand visitors have
come 10 San Francisco within three days.
ARRANGEMENTS for extending hospitality
here were well made. and all the delegates
were presented with flowers on their ar
rival. The system Of caring for the dele
gates at the hotels and lodging houses was
also very effective. The housing Of this
large number of strangers demonstrates
the work that has been done here since
the big fire i'm the building of hotels.
Assessor Dodge has completed the assess
ynent roll Of San Francisco and the total
IS S544 e00. 900, the largest on record. Under
ordinary circumstances this big roll would
reduce individual taxes, but as SIS
10000 will be lost 10 the city because Of a
new provision of the law that taxes on
corporate property go to the state instead
OF 10 the city the taxes will be higher this
year than last. The city tax rate has been
fixed at 81 on the hundred, but 10 this must
be added a six-cent tax for the Panama
