ordered that the Chairman of the Board, with

Noes-Bailey. Subsequently the District
Attorney fled with the Board his opinion in
writing on the application of the Sacramento
Bank for reduction of assessment on money
being warrants to the amount of $500, 600,
payable out of the State treasury. The bank
claimed the warrants to be unsecured solvent
credits, and the Assessor held them TO be the
same as cash on hand. The District Attor-
ney held, in his written opinion, that the
law assesses property as it exists on the first
Monday In March at noon that State war
rants are to be assessed as unsecured solvent
credits, from which the assessed party may
deduct his unsecured debts due from bona
fide residents of the State. The debt repre-
scented by these warrants has not IN contem-
plation OF law escaped taxation, and the war
rants themselves have been taxed by being
assessed to the bank as unsecured solvent
credits, upon which property the bank is re-
quired to pay tax. State warrants are not
cash on hand, but unsecured solvent credits,
and, like other personal property, must pay
u
after being deducted from unsecured solvent
debts due bona fide residents of the State,
the remaining credits only must be taxed. In
this case the credits were less in amount than
the debts owing by the bank, etc. The
Board granted the banks petition.

TREE POPULATION EXHIBIT. = Mathew
Cooke, Chief chronological Officer, has Sc
cured a sufficient appropriation to warrant
an exhibition at the State Fair of the insects
infesting the fruit trees and vines of this
State He noR proposes, if the consent of
the parents can be obtained, that the young
masters composing the Agassiz Association
of this city shall aid Linn in making the ex-
hibit by which the boys will gain a great
deal of valuable information. His idea is to
construct eight tables with semi-circular re-
volving t0ps, and niche for the exhibitor
On these will be placed microscopes and the
Insects OF each variety; az, the population
OF the pear tree, the population of the apple
tree, the population of the grape vine, etc
The Agassiz Association shall then select
eight Of its members and relief details also,
and to each table youth will be assigned,
who will have charge of an exhibit. Each
day they will change places. Thus they will
learn all about the insects their growth,
habits, etc, aud Will hear the statements OF
all the fruit and Vine-growers who come TO
see the exhibition, and at the same time will
kind of the pestferous Insects against which
the State has now made official war. He
will Apply to the society presently to ascer-
tain If the boys will take hold Of the matter
aud thinks their parents cannot find for them
more useful occupation during fair week
He viii be in charge himself, and thoroughly
explain to the boys every day all that is
known concerning the classes OF the insect
world mentioned. He believes also that it
will be considered by the boys position Of
trust and honor, and direct their attention
toward earth production in this State in the
way of fruit, that will be Of great value to
them and to the people.
