THEY ALLOWED THE DEMAND.

The claim of engineer G. F. Allardt for
81, 702 for services rendered this county dur
ing the trial of the Gold Run case, came be-
fore the Board of Supervisors yesterday.
Supervisor Christy demanded that the roll
should be called. When the name of S. w.
Butler was called he arose and said he OBJ
jected to the payment Of the demand, on the
ground that the charges were excessive, and
not in accordance with ordinary business
transactions The services claimed to have
been rendered were in excess of their value.
Mr.. Christy-Although know l am in the
minority, still 1 wish to put myself right
upon the record. This demand is unjust,
and should not be allowed. Sacramento
county has no right to pay such an unjust
demand as this. Laying aside the fact ap
parent to all, that no service has been
rendered. claim that Sacramento county is
obligated IN no way to pay this demand. Mr..
Allardt says Sacramento county owes him
81. 702 for three months work. What does
Sacramento county owe him that amount
for? Sacramento county was not plaintiff 10
the case. The State brought the suit, in the
name of the State, and let the State officers
look to the payment OF the expenses. The
Supervisors of Nevada and Placer counties
might with equal propriety assume the min
ers' costs in this suit. l am opposed also to
the payment of the reporters bill by this
county; not because l think the reporter
should not receive his pay, but because
the State. and not this county, should pay
for it.
The ether members Of the Board Samuel
Blair absent) sat in silence The vote was
then taken, and stood in favor of paying the
bill of Allardt, for three months services,
1,702:
Ayes-Wilson, brennan. Backley, Bailey.
Noes-Christy and Butler.
