George NJ. Mott and A. S. Hopkins pre-
scented petition signed by large number
Of citizens. 1t read as follows
We, the undersigned residents and taxpayers
Of Sacramento city, most respectfully repre-
sent to your honorable Board that the portion
of the city lying east of Fourteenth street and
especially that between Fourteenth and
Eighteenth streets, is now wholly without
sewers or any means OF drainage whatever
We do most respectfully ask that you viii have
constructed the necessary sewers to give us the
relief we so much need, and TO which we as
taxpayers are justly entitled. The health of
not only the inhabitants of the city generally
but those of our immediate families are in great
peril, and something must be done Immediately
The Beard said to the petitioners that
nothing could be done at present owing to
the fact that the portion of the city com
planned of was lower than the present
sewage system. They said they were ex-
perimenting with the Shone system and
were of the opinion that it would prove all
that was promised. In that case the relief
asked for would be given. If that could
not be done fund would be provided for
IN the next tax levy for that purpose.
The bills Of L. F. Bassett for his salary
as inspector of plumbing, for the months
OF July, August, September and October
amounting to so 30, were not allowed.
owing to the fact that there was no pro-
vision for their payment the fund for that
purpose having not yet been created.
The Trustees directed the CITY Auditor
to notify the railroad authorities that the
city had purchased certain China Slough
lots and would deed the same to the com
pany as soon as the latter filled the slouph
as heretofore stipulated. The railroad com
pany, ii was authoritatively stated, had let
the contract for the work to Won Schmidt.
The latter is now doing some work for the
government, which would be finished in a
lew days, when the machinery would be
removed TO this city and the work of filling
the slough conn enced and pushed vigor-
Dusly to completion.
The City Attorney advised the Board to
pass an ordinance which would cover the |
equations adopted by the Board of Health, |
50 that there would be no trouble in prose-
,uting those who violate the same in the |
Courts.
Matthew Cooke, who had been engaged |
o clear the trees and shrubbery In the city |
II the white cOttony cushion scale, reported |

ald the scale was found scattered over a |
much larger area than was at first SUD-
POSED. They were not only found on |
orange and lemon trees, but walnut. elm |
ma eucalyptus trees were also found to be |
Infected. He thought the work would be |
completed by the end of the week

mat TO dom the premises, so he wrote let
