noes %.
Mr.. TYLER moved to strike out the enaciing

who said the amendment had come before the
Legislature singularly, and was, stated by Mr..
Fox, unconstitutional The office was not needed in
San Francisco. The milk supply came from the
green fields of San Mateo The whole thing was
useless, except that it would impose an additional

At the request of Mr.. BROOKS, the bill was read

ton 5, to make the pay 1925 per month.
MIR. You've moved to further amend by making it

Mr.. YOU'VE offered an amendment providing for

papers, and proposed to have it inserted that one of
the papers should be published in Sacramento
Adopted
Marysvile, Red Bluff and oroville were also in
cluded in the list.
motion to include the Dutch Flat Forum, was
made by Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN and afterwards with
drawn.
Mr. CARR, of Sacramento, proposed an amendment
to Section H. line 4, by striking out after the word
that" the words GO or condemn, with reference to
evees already constructed. This proposed to
prevent the condemnation of levees already built
and their purchase by the State.
Mr.. TYLER thought this would kill the bill en-
tirely, because If the authorities had no power to
out.
Mr. CARR explained that his amendment was to
prevent the condemnation of the evees and not for
the purpose OF interfering with the other operations
OF the bill. 1t was to prevent the purchase OF the
levees after they had been condemned.
Mr.. Fox Of the opinion that the amendment
would prevent the carrying out OF the purposes Of
the bill.
Mr. BENNETT thought the objects of the amend
ment good. 1t allowed the public work to join or
connect with other works already built There were
hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of work
in this matter OF eyee building already done in this
district and the parties who had constructed such
levees would like no better thing than to have them
condemned for public work. In such cases the
price asked was always too high and it was the OBJ
ject Of the amendment to prevent this sort of thing
1t would be monstrous proposition to allow these
levees to be condemned, for no people could stand
the vast expense which would be entailed, and
should not.
Mr. CHANDLER thought the amendment a proper
one. These levees, if condemned, would cost the
State millions of dollars. The city of Sacramento
which had control of its evees did not desire to
have them condemned and turned over to strangers
Mr.. McCARTY Of Lake supported the amendment
1t was proper step in the work OF perfecting the
bill.
Mr.. CoRcoRAN thought the amendment would de-
stroy the whole force of the bill Did the gentle
man want to pay million dollars to erect
leyees where they were already in existence?
Mr.. BENNETT said the discussion showed that
there vast amount OF power to be given to
this Commission. There was not a member on the
floor who ii be understood the true nwardness of
this thing, could support Section II.
Mr. SwEETLAND said this work was of great i'm
portance to the people, and he hoped members
would look at it IN its proper light. The amend
ment he thought, would do away with the intention
Of the bill.
Mr.. CHANDLER said he believed the leeyes Of those
he represented properly located. The people
satisfied they were, and did not want them
condemned. They wanted to take of them as
they thought fit, and for this the amendment
should prevail.
Mr.. TYLER could not support the amendment, and
hoped it would be voted down.
Mr.. LEvEE could not vote for the purchase of
these old works, and hoped the amendment would
be carried.
Mr.. CARR, of Yuba, hoped the amendment would
be put in to prevent this Commission from buying
any old levees. That was one of the provisions Of
his bill, and, although opposed to this one he
would like to see it incorporated in it. If the bill
passed he wanted to protect the rights of the people
at lest little. We want to give the Commissioners
power TO connect with other levees, but we do not
want them to buy an old levee at high price, in
stead OF doing work that is necessary. The people
do not ask to have their old evees bought. Sacra-
mento does not want the Commission to buy up her
levee. II the Commission will go on and protect
