ASSESSING ORANGE TREES. San Bernardino Supervisors Before the j State Equalizers. Trials and Tribulations of Orange Growers--Don't Want Their Assessment Raised. Tho State Board of Equalisation spent all of yesterday afternoon hoaring the arguments uf the Supervisors of San Bernardino County against the proposed raising of that county's assessment-roll. The southern Supervisors tame well prepared for the occasion. They not only were opposed to having their assess ment raised, but wanted it reduced, far below \\ hat their own Assessor had placed it. They claimed that his figures wereail excessive—that is, those which had refer ence to the valuation of orange trees. Whether ur not their arguments will have any effect on the Btate Board in prevent ing the proposed raise would be hard to Hay, but, judging from what uiie of the (State Equalizers said.it is a safe guess that San bernardino County's assessment "will not bo reduced. THAT CAUCUS. When the me. ting was called to order Chairman Morehouse evinced a desire to know something about the meeting of southern Supervisors, held recently, at which ii was agreed that San Bernar dino's assessment was too high, and a general redaction was decided upon. .1. N. Victor, ("haii-man ofthe Hoard of Supervisors of San Bernardino, was the lirst to address the board. Hesaid he de sired to state as a preliminary that the re cent joint meeting held in Los Angeles of the different Boards ofSupervisors ofthe south was a mere caucus, with reference to the assessment of fruit trees. Tho Los Angeles people had nocomplaintto make, but the San Bernardino people felt that they had been discriminated against. Four-year-old fruit trees had been as- Bessedatf] 25 in San Bernardino, while just on the other sido ofthe line, in Los Angeles, tiny had not been assessed at all. Mr. Victor assured tlie members that he was not finding fault -with the State Board—they were not infringing on the board's powers. "Did you haye1 any idea that you were infringing on the board's powers, or that the bond was discriminating against you?'" asked Mr. Morehouse. "No," w as the reply. "The fact ofthe matter -was," continued Mr. Morehouse, "the board considered that you were infringing on tho law." WILLING TO RAISE THE OTHERS. Mr. Victor said that everything was in formal ai that caucus. It was generally agreed though, that San Bernardino's assessment of orange trees was too high, and should be reduced, while the other four neighboring counties should be raised. The average rate of assessment of trees waa $5 for a five-acre orchard, and the effect of tiie discrimination was to cause orchardists to move across the line. "To save $5 a year?" asked Mr. Swan. "Yea, that's the effect," replied Mr. Victor. He said the general feeling should be to encourage people to plant more orange trees, instead of discouraging them. The a-sesscd valuation in San Bernardino was a speculative value. He said, he and the people of the south felt that their trees, like the crop- of thi 1 north, should not be assessed at all. Mr. Beamer of the Equalizing Board said thai personally he was in hearty sympathy with the remarks of Mr. Victor, and waa in a position to feel the force of his argument. Bat tbe Board of "Equalization bad to operate under a Jaw, which it did not make, and there w;is no help for it—the law bad to be i utorced. Mr. Morehouse asked Mr. Victor if, at the caucus ofSupervisors, the actual Bell ing values <>t tiie trees unci land formed a I .i-is of tlie discussion. Mr. Victor said it was talked of, but tbe general agreement was that the assess ment in San Bernardino was too high, and a schedule of reductions was adopted. The farmers were invited to come in and ask for reductions, and it was agreed that the other counties should be raised —and tiiese counties acquiesced. A COMPETENT OFFICIAL. Mr. Morehouse said that Assessor John- Bon "i San Bernardino had been in office a number of years ami thoroughly under stood his business. He did not see bow tlie As-—isor could bave made so many mistakes—if they were mistakes—as tiie southern Supervisors set forth. Mr. Victor then branched oil' into a lengthy dissertation on the trials and trib ulations of tiie orange-grower. He de dared tbat even to the present day orange culture in tbe south was of an experi mental nature. At lirst tbev bad tried to gr<>w their fruit in tlie lowlands, b it through experience learned that tlie t'<>..t hills were the proper place for them. All tliis took time,and cost a great deal of money and labor. He could not seethe iustice in assessing tiie trees at all, much assessing them for more than they were worth. i Mr. Morehouse said tbat the San Ber- i nardino Supervisors bad made serious charges against their Assessor, and be! wanted a distinct understanding about ! the matter. He wanted to know whether the board operated on tlie actual selling values . if the hind and trees, or simply on its own schedule. Mr. Victor could not answer the ques tion di recti v. He said the board consid i the values entirely Bpeculative,and in adopting its schedule figured on what insidered was just and fair, when compared with tiie assessments in oth< r and adjoining oounl K>_] [OKE VI KW -. Collector Kendall, who lives on the Ontario tract, was the next witness. Stated that while San Bernardino was iunty in tlie State, it was in a large degree a desert county. Thewi of it that wa- tillable was located in a 1 basin. A sm.. an non would throvi a ball across all ofthe land upon whicb the tiou bad been made. That district was largely watered by. irrigating ditches. In the Ontario tract, as in other ' .•■ watel'-plpes :l ;;,l ditch_fl v appurtenant to the Land. After tiie land ;s assessed he did nut consider .t fair that the ditches should be assessed. The ditches made a portion of tlie value ofthe Land, an i be considered it a double assess ment t" assess them both, baud without water was j>r;i. tieally Worthless. The them part of the stato was different from the northern part. Mr. Kendall then produced tne affi dai • ous persona in San Bernar dino County who considered the as atas it ii"v stands, corrected by thi su; .: e.s a Co mty Board of Equalization),^ fair and just. I persons wei c no! particular about ba . th.c valuations further reduced, but were Op|> •» ..-t d. Oneofth so atlidavits was from a man who had been assessed at the 1,400 per acre for his orcbai >tions by .\!r. Morehouse, bowever, developed the tet that this orchard was in the city limits ot Riverside, and was in _oi quell. ■ <;. .:s a toy. n lot. Mr. Kendall then read the affidavit of B. C. Sbepl -■:. who owns a few acres on t : ;et. This man bad been - li;- land, and bis trees wei . .. i 7.">. OR< Q IKlUisTs' THBOBIKS. rconsiderabi talk and reading of affidavits, Mr. Morehouse remarked that affidavits sb uld not, as a rule, be given much c. >n by the'l ■ ause y or. bardist had his own peculiar ideas ami thi Ol iea as to how be should be assessed, and no two of tbexn agreed pt that their orange trees should not -. ssed a; all. Mr. Kendali informed tbe board that the assessment of San Bernardino, as : \ the < loonty Board, • vrasSper cent, greater than it was last ihe < unty Board rednced the ent. ,inning he s. ;.! te- hai with the latter had informed him that orange treos in that county were only assessed at fifty cents. "I'm Mr. Secretary, what day do we hear the Santa Clara Supervisors?" asked Mr. Morehouse, turning to Secretary Coglan. and jotting down something in his note-book. The Secretary furnished the desired in formation, and then Gh W. (iarcelon, another of the southern Supervisors, was sworn. Mr. ('arcelon assured tho State Hoard that Assessor Johnson's figures were altogether too high. He then told of all the trouble an orehardist had in raising oranges, particularly the nursery men. When the trees were two years old they were only worth five cents. "Then," said Mr. Swan, "do I under stand that after two years of trials and tribulations you have a tree worth five cents for the purposes of taxation ?" Tin; Supervisor did not reply. "Well, now," said Mr. Swan, "we have been trying right along to get some of you folks to set a price unon tho trees, but it seems that we cannot succeed." Mr. Gareelon branched off on the dif ference between good and bad trees, but did not elucidate matters much. Several other Supervisors went over the samo ground covered by the others, and then Assessor Johnson explained his position. He had endeavored to be as fair as he could in levying the assess ment, he said, and indulged in no dis crimination. Ihe board will take the matter under advisement. The San Francisco Supervisors will be heard to-day. POLICE COURT. The Drunks Had the Right of Way at Yesterday's Session. Yesterday's session of the Police Court was brief and devoid of special features. Enos Ron was acquitted of the charge of baring been drunk. Frank Myers pleaded guilty to a like charge ami was lined $10, and the same disposition was made of the case of Jake Martin. John Quintan, another gentleman who had yielded to bacchanalian influence, had. to put ap £20 or take the alternative. John Fit/patrick, a man who should know better than to make himself a nuis ance by delivering noisy harangues On the streets, pleaded guilty to drunken ness, and was assessed §10.

But Lawyer "White Says tho Railway Company Should Move Its Track to tho Street Center. The question as to whether or not the Central Electric Railway Company is re sponsible for the payment of the cost of grading and graveling J street, from Twenty-first to Twenty-eighth, for the width of two tracks only one is laid on the street) was taken up yester day by tho City Trustees. Au opinion from S. S. Holl and C. H. Oatanan of the Street Improvement Com pany was read. They say: "Asa matter of fact the doublo railroad track on J street extends only to the east line of Twenty-first street, the track being sin gle from the east line of Twenty-first street to the center line of Twenty-eighth street. By reason of this fact said asa 9 ment against the property liable for the expense of the work is too low by the sum of §721 li_. This amount the Central Electric Company refuses to pay, and in our opinion payment of the same can be successfully evaded by it. Therefore, the Sacramento Street Improvement Com pany respectfully appeals to the board from the assessment heretofore made, and prays that a new assessment be is sued, assessing to the property liable for the expense ofthe work, under the terms of said Act of March 18, 1885, the said sum of ?724 (>_, in addition to the amount now assessed, and requests your honorable board lo appoint a time and place of hear ing this app.al." Clinton L. White in his opinion to the boar;! saj's: "A consideration of the law and the ordinance leads me to the opinion that the railway company is only liable for payment for the improvement of that portion of J street between Twenty-first and Twenty-eighth streets, actually occupied by its track, with two feet on each side of the rails. It is liable on the basis of the read, as actually con structed, not on what it may claim in the way of a franchise. It is liable for the improvement of J street, between Twenty-first and Twenty-eighth streets, on the basis of having a single track thereon, with the exception of the block between Twenty-seventh and Twenty eighth, where it has a switch also; audit i^ my opinion that tlie right of the com pany on J street, from Twenty-first to Twenty-eighth is—because of its failure to construct a double track thereon within the time limited by tlie ordinance—now confined to the right to maintain and operate a single track only. Such single track is required, both by the law and the ordinances granting the fran chise, to be as nearly as possible m the middle ofthe street. The company has no legal right to maintain and operate this road on one side of the street, as it is now doing, and its so doing constitutes an unlawful use oi said street by it. The company is under the legal obligation, if it continues to maintain said track, to re move the same to the middle of the street.'' Director. Coleman aud Lindley, of the Street Improvement Company, appeared before tlie board at the afternoon _essioti and suggested tbat in the future tiie hoard should, in letting eontr icts for street grading, make an order designating who should pay the assessment. Trustee Conklin moved tbat tbe adjust ment of tbe matter at issue be left to tbe street Commissioner. The niatter was discussed at some length between the members of the board ami Messrs. Coleman and Lindley. and finally—without any action being taken on Trustee Conklin'6 motion —an order was made that all parties concerned be given a formal hearing on Monday next on the protest (against the assessment bled by the Street Improvement Com pany. NEITHER GRAVEL NOR BASALT. Property Owners on M street Must Put Qp With Mud. Tbe matter of the improvement of M street, from Fifteenth to Twenty-eighth, was taken up by tbe Trustees yesterday, and Owen Casey, who represented some thing over 20\) feet frontage, said he, for one, wanted the street improved with gravel, and wanted it done right away, before ail tbe money in the improvement fund shall be- exhausted. He was op posed to the city's paying for the ail. ged basalt three times what it would bave to pay for good gravel, and tbe majority bad a.-bed for the latter. Mr. Lambert, the agent for tho basalt rock, denied that it would cost three times what gravel would. He could get down pretty close to the cost of gravel. A new petition for gravel was pre sented, signed bytheowni rsofamajority of tbe feet fronting on the blocks named. Trustee McLaughlin here on seated a resolution of intention to improve M street, from Fifteenth tv Twenty-eighth, with gravel. The Mayor objected to tbe provision for Oregon pine crosswalk ;. lie further said thai if tlie street were ordered up it would be simply to tie it up, as the work could not be commenced rora couple of months. Trustee < '.>nklin said be would be will ing to pledge himself to give M Btreet the precedence in ordering up streets for improvement if the matter should now be laid over. Trustee McLaughlin Bald a majority of 1,100 feet was represented on tiie petition for gravel, and it was the simple duty of the board to order the work. The roll was called on the resolution, and tlie Mayor and Trustee Conklin vo'o-d against it. Trustee McLaughlin remarked tbat the property-owners could, if they wished, force tho board to havo the street im proved. Trustee Conklin expressed bis disap proval of having any Btreet work done in winter. lie desired further to econo mise in the outlay of the remainder of the improvement bonds. Trustee McLaughlin remarked tbat if his colleagues saw fit to go on record as opposing street improvements they might do so, and intimated that the Mayor had been an obstructionist in that direction. 'ibis tin; Mayor denied, and a little cross-lire ensued between him and the street Commissioner, after which the subject was dropped. AN OPIUM VICTIM. John Gormley Dies a Miserable Heath In the Hospital. A few days ago a young man named John Gormley was admitted to the County Hospital for treatment for a combination of ailments. In the brst place, be was a total wreck from the prolonged use of morpbic was a pitiable-looking specimen of the "fiend''class. Moreover, he was - ing from lockjaw. He said he was a na tive of Massachusetts, and recently cam.' here from San Prancisco. yesterday afternoon one of the attend ants called Dr. Wlnte, theSu] erintenden! < ■;' the hospital, t<> the patient's room, say ing that,Gormley had tried to kill him self. The doctor tound that the latter had, by tin- use Ofa common easel, nife, suc ceeded in making an incision in his arm, had bled freely, and was then in a dying condition. Ali efforts to save his life Wero unavailing, and be was soon a corpse" Dr. White thinks that, although the pa tient lost considerable blood, his death was nol directly due to that cause, as his ailments and vices bad already landed him well across the threshold of death. The SCt of opening his arm, however. showed that Gormley wanted to end bis Bufferings.
