Monday with a clear slate. The most
important business was transacted DUR
ing the afternoon session. rs follows:
Tho bill giving the County Commits
siouers Of Storey county power to trans
fer the snplus in the General Fund 70
tho Railroad Bond Sinking Fund and
tho School Fund passed. and now only
awaits the signature OF the Governor.
An amendment 10 the Revenue Act,
introduced by Senator yarian, also
passed. 1t provides that tho names OF
the persons paying poll.tax shall DO
placed on the assessment roll. tho same
as other taxpayers. I think this Is q
proper measure; as Of present those
Who pay poll tar, whilo they are tax
payers, have no voice In matters where
il requires that those persons whose
names appear on tho assessment roll
shall decide.
The bill to amend the Act regulating
the powers Of the Governor. Justices OF
the Supreme Court and Attorney Gen.
eral, passed. II gives the power TO
those officers TO remit fines and punish
ments and grant pardons aftor the pass
Inc VI sentence.
The amendment TO the Act defining
tho timo Of commencing civil actions
was lost. II provides that foreign Or
porations doing business in this State
shall have the benefit OF the Statute OF
Limitations. When the bill was under
discussion. Senator lockwood stated
that the last Legislature Of tho State Of
California, when a memorial in refer
enco to running sawdust into the
Truckee from mills in California was
presented, that body passed a bill for
bidding the obstruction or disturbance
OF any stream in the State OF California
ezcsps hoss tspiyiag into he Slate Of Ne
ra,E, !; and be proposed 10 make tho for
eigu companies doing business In this

they desired TO derive the benefits Of our
laws. Mr.. Lockwood's views seemed TO
be concuIrsd in by tho majority OF the
Senate.
Tho bill providing for struck jurios
passed during the morning session.
This is spoken Of a. an excellent meas
ure, its intent being TO prevent corrup-
ton OF juries. Tho Act only applies in
cases where ovor $4,000 Is involved,
when the parties TO tho suit may avail
themselves Of the law /; but must pay tho
expense OF summoning tho jury in this
manner

House Proceedings.
There are some people in Carson, who
do not want the town Incorporated, but
are willing that ii shall remain to tho
day OF Judgment in the same filthy and
slovenly condition. These people con-
not DO very Cody, though there are sew
eral churches in Carson, for It's said
that cleanliness Is next 10 Goodness. II
il a marvel to me how mon, who own
property hero and caro- for the health OF
their families, can be satisfied 10 let II
remain in its present condition when.
by paying tho small additional tax, the
incorporation would entail their proper.
ty would be increased in value, and
the health Of themselves and families be
secured against the contagious diseases
bred by filth. A remonstranco from cit.
liens Of Carson. opposed to the incor-
poraiion. was presented in the House to-
day, and was laid on the table to await
action on the bill providing for incorPor-
alton.
Ono OF the most important items Of
tho session is tho report OF the House
Committee on Corporations, on Bock's
bill to regulate frsights and fares, which
was presented to the House to-day. II

become a law. This action. l suppose,
sounds tho iea,h.knell OF the bill.
