A rare treat is promised to those who hear
Rev. Joseph Henning lecture in City Hall

Special Meeting Of the Board of Alder
men,

The PRESS stated few days ago that Storer
Bros. were to build on the Woods Hotel lot.
In examining the deeds it was found that
there was sewer assessment charged against
the property, and neither the owners nor the
proposed purchasers appeared willing to pay it..
Accordingly meeting of the Board of Alder
men was held last evening and the following
passed:
Ordered, That the City Treasurer be and he
hereby is authorized and directed to make the
sewer assessment on the lot of land formerly
owned by John M. Wood, bounded by Middle,
Pearl and Silver streets, one hundred and fifty
dollars, provided a building is erected on the
aforesaid lot during the present year.

1t became necessary during the present year
to borrow money to the amount of six thousand
dollars, but if the foregoing amount be grant
ed and ordered by the Legislature, no loan will
be necessary next year, as the amount due
from the tax of 1880, with the balance in the
treasury, will probably be sufficient to meet all
demands against the county, which may be
presented for payment before the tax of 1881
becomes available.
In compliance with sec 81, chap. 49, of the
laws of 1880, requiring "like estimates for the
year next succeeding" the year after that in
which the report of the County Commissioners
is made, the following estimate was prepared
to conform to the new arrangement of biennial
sessions of the Legislature:

Mutilated Coin.

The postmaster at Io5 Angeles re- gently had sixty half dollars returned to him from a remittance to the Branch United States Treasury at San Fran cisco, with the information that the coins were not receivable. Some of them were slightly abraded, and others were stained from contact with acids, matches or rubber i'll some ones pocket | None were mutilated. The postmaster forwarded portion of the coin to Wash ington, to have the question officially de- termined. The Third Assistant Post master General pronounced them depos- itable, and for his guidance in relation to mutilated coin sent the postmaster the following circular:
 In reply to your letter in relation to mutilated coins, you are informed that they are not held to be current and passable money" and you are not obliged to receive them for stamps and postal dues.
 The following extracts from the regu- lations of the Treasury Department, and from letter from the Treasurer of the United States are hereby published for the information of postmasters:
 "Mutilated minor coins will not be re- deemed or exchanged" Circular No. 21, page 6, Treasurer's Ofiice.)
 ''Silver coins mutilated by clipping or perforating will not be received except at the bullion value, to be ascertained at the Mint" Qbid)
 "There being no provision of law ap- plicable to mutilated or abraded silver coin, and such coin being based upon intrinsic value, to avoid loss this office is compelled to decline to receive mutilated coin for the reason that there Is no way of disposing of it except at loss. Un- til there Is some legal action and some appropriation to pay the loss upon re- coinage of such mutilated pieces, no in- structions for the relief of the commu- nity can be issued. For any mutilated coins sent to the Mint returns will be made as soon as the bullion value can be ascertained, the transportation charges to be borne by the sender" Letter of Treasurer United States, February 15, lS79.)
 Postmasters would do well to refuse all coins (copper-bronZe. nickel, silver and gold which have been punched, bored or otherwise mutilated, and thus avoid trouble and loss.
 Very respectfully, A. D. HAzES,
 Third Asst Postmaster General
