Board of Trustees.
The Board of CitLN Trustees met at 1O
4. N. yesterday, all the members present
A dispatch was received from New York
City, dated May 9Th, signed by Simon
Stevens, saying ~ The California Water
and Mining Company has this day adj
dressed you a communication relative to a
large water supply for Sacramento from
the Georgetown divide, El Dorado county. -
q. W. Carey, Superintendent of the City
Railway Company, appeared before the
Board and complained about the street
Sprinkling from Tenth to Fourteenth on II
street, and from Eleventh to Thirteenth, on
Q street. He said the contractors sprinllled
only on the sides of the street, utterly ig-
noring the center, where the street-car track
was laid. In consequence, the blocks men
toned had become quite dusty, so much so
that ii interfcred with their travel. If the
contractors could not be compelled to per-
form the duties for which they had given
bonds, he would be obliged to put on
sprinkling carts of his own
Trustee Nielsen said that the same COM
plant was made each year. 1t seemed as
though street Sprinkling contractors would
not fulfill the requirements of their con-
tracts unless they were continually watched
and compelled to do the work properly
All Of the contractors had given bonds for
& faithful performance of their duty, and
he was in favor of FORGETTING those bonds
whenever il is apparent that the contractor
knowingly violates their terms He said
for the past two weeks he had in service an
extra sprinkling wagon, and would put on
others should occasion require.
Mr.. Carey gave notice that he would
file 4 protest against certain contractors
drawing full pay for partial service.
