of about $3.50 900, principal and interest, and wa;
| owing slO3 600 now. He could not vote for a meas
ure that would increase that Indebtedness to 5000,
| geo, and 60 before the people after so doing.
Mr. CARR Of fuba thought if the members were
in any way stifed to their action this floor at
least the Hous. ought to agree TO give the people
chance to vote upon the proposition. There were
100000 people to-day directly interested in the
mines OF California, and he for one would not vote
for striking down such an industry and the men
who voted for this bill were striking at the very
foundation oil our industry. 1t was the duty OF the
State to take care of the taines or else stop the
mines. Was it right to ask these counties to bond
themselves to all eternity, that San Francisco and
Alameda might reap the benefit of these mines
Gentlemen wanted the mining business to go on,
but they did not want to help pay for It,
Mr.. MAYBELL thought the bond question of the
highest Importance. II the State had not money
enough to carry out the contemplated Improvement
and pay cash for II, the issuing Of bonds was cer
tainIy not a wise step.
Mr.. IoUSG thought there could be no question
about the constitutonality OF the legislation pro-
posed.
MIR. TYLER said If the question could be properly
submitted To the people OF the district when prop
ery organized he would be in favor OF it. but as the
matter stood he hoped the amendment would be
voted down.
Mr. CHANDLER was satisfied to leave this matter
to a vote of his constituents.
Mr.. McCARTYof Lake said the bills should be
perfected. The question was one Of moment that
should be properly considered The vote on Mr..
Young's amendment seems to indicate that it is the
intention OF the Assembly to adopt the district plan
of reaching this matter / am not in favor of the
bonded system and, If the district plan is adopted,
want the people Of the district satisfied with that
fact. There are many people interested in the by
draulic mines and the people in the valley in
danger OF being overwhelmed with this debris. De-
lay is dangerous and immediate action should be
taken. The miners should take care OF the debris
and the people Of the valley ought to take Of the
water. Some decisive action should be taken at
taa limos 1ir1nl In
wait Perfect the bill before the results OF the next
winter may be upon US.
Mr.. DEL VALE thought, in view Of the amend
ment proposed, nothing wiser could be done than
to adopt 1t. A satisfactory view to all it seemed
to be difficult to arrive at. Even among Counties
directly interested representatives divided In
hemater of State aid Of course those not be bene
flied by the proposed taxation did not wish to help
pay the tax. Under the circumstances the amend
ment was perfectly proper and fair.
MIR. BRAUSHART thought the substitute for the
bill should be printed.
Mr.. Cook thought the amendment to leave it to
vote of the people of districts good one.
Mr.. HARRISON entertained no doubt on the subject
