The city government of San Francisco is
financially embarrassed. The bill recently
passed by the legislature restricts the board
to monthly expenditure of one-twelfth of
the annual revenue, holding the members
and their bondsmen personally responsible
for any over-draft. As a consequence nearly
every fund is exhausted for the current
month. The fire Departmental has not money
enough on hand to buy feed for the horses.
No resolution can go to print, no authorize
ton can be passed for payment, owing to the
exhaustion of the advertising fund. The
hospital and almshouse have but 5000 to run
on for the current month. Some legislation
probably will be sought to relieve the dead
lock.
A CORRESPONDENT of the California asso-
ciated press, who has assembled the Sacra-
mento river to Monroev1lle, 100 miles above
Sacramento, telegraphs that for the entire
distance the country presents the appear
ance of continuous sea on both sides of the
river. Not 5000 acres of land along the
river for the whole distance have escaped
the flood. The loss between Sacramento
and Monroeville in levees, buildings, stock
and crops will reach $500, 900, besides de-
crease in the value of property in some
localities. There is, however, prospect of
an enormous harvest, and much sediment
has been deposited, which will enrich the
land where worn,by continuous cropping.
