\ RENoysrRANcE.-The following re-
monstrance is being circulated in the neigh
borhood of Gait and it is said that nearly
all the people in that vicinity are signing it :
To the Board of Supervisors OF Sacrament
TO county: The Undersigned respectfully
|
, issuing any road bonds. We believe that
the present revenue is amply sufficient if
properly used. We believe that to borrow
money to eXpend on the roads would be
bad policy, considering the enormous debt
/ of our county, and the heavy rate of taxa
ton imposed upon Us to pay the interest on
the debt We would also respectfully sug-
gest that before the expiration of the term
of years for which the bonds are to be issued
the sinking fund might be found missing
sharing the fate of the thousands Of dollars
, recently pocketed by our honorable ~
State officials. In that case said officials
. would be so many thousands richer and
! our county would have so much added to
! its already heavy debt We therefore re-
spectfully urge that for the welfare of our
, county your honorable body do not issue
any such bonds"

. throat if he made any cutlery or troubled
J them, and a razor was laid upon his face as
