q copy OF a tlI introduced py INC io'"Ie'
Senator into the body Of which he is a mem-
Der, having for its object the authorization Of
the Mayor and Common Council Of this city
to levy a tax of $1,000 upon the citizens Of
AIarysyille for the benefit Of the Agricultural,
horticultural and Mechanics Society Of tie
Northern District Of California.
We do not know from what source this
movement originated but We are quite GER
tain that the present Mayor and Common
Council have not been consulted. Indeed
most Of the legislation heretofore had re-
specting Marysyille has been made without
any consultation Of either the city authorities
or the people 1t may be that the present
bill is, nevertheless, satisfactory both to the
Council and the citizens generally. Ifso, we
should be pleased to have it pass because we
would like to see every encouragement oi-
forded the Northern District Society.
We would saggeat to the friends Of tlc
Northern District Society who may desire
the passage of this bill, the propricty of pc
titioning the Council to lend It's approval, or
at any rate pctitioning the Legislature with
a sufficient number Of rano5 subscribed TO
convince that body that it is the wish Of the
people that the bill should pass. 1t is hardly
to be expected that in a purely local matter,
OF this character, the Legislature viii know
what is best or that the Yuba delegation, 10
whom the bill has been referred, will be capa-
bic of judging what are rsally the wishes Of
the people in: the prelSes, without some
demonstration, on the part Of the latter, re-
specting the matter.
