LOCAL INTELLIGENCE:
TIE CoUNrY's PROPORTION.

FOR the sum of $1,000. 1t was clearly
understood that the county, through the
Supervisors, was to give the proceeds Of
the sale of this property to the State Agri-
cultural Society, TO be used in the erection
of the new building. Acting on this belief,
members of the State Board of Agriculture
gave their individual totes to raise
900 necessary to be placed in the
State Treasury before the work could be
commenced Some few persons hold that
the Socie'y should only receive the SO 900
for which they gave their notes. The whole
amount should 90 to the Society, as it will be
by them used in the purchase OF machinery
and other improvements necessary TO be had
before the new building is completed. The
Society hss already expended about So 900, in
addition TO the SS0.OG0 in various extra i'm
proyemen.g. A new sidewalk on Fifteenth
street, from l. TO y, must be Immediately
constructed. A 100. horse power engine and
boilers must be attached to the building. All
this must be purchased from some resource,
and as Sacramento city and county is the
most benefited the entire proceeds of the
sale should be turned over to the Society.
The old Pavilion has been converted into
taxable property, and the county saved the
expense of keeping up the insurance and re-
pairs and maintaining watchmen. In sddi-
ton to other improvements made by the
STATE Agricultural Society, new track and
much staDiing will be built this winter at a
cost of about $40 600. This money is raised

the interest OF this city. To have the Super
visors now refuse to reciprocste would be im-
polite, to say the least. As an economic
measure it would seem TO be a wise invest
ment to contribute the proceeds of the old
Pavilion in toto to the new improvements,
which a benefit to this city. The city has
given $50, 600, aud Sl5 900 is not too much
for the county. The city had to tax itself az the
expense Of the tax. and the cost Of an election
to pay its share. But no tax has to be levied
on the county to turn over the proceeds of
the late sale takes nothing from the county
treasury.
