1yiilu, SUBJECT u dpioI tpHiheit, TAstOSf-
Cps H. This amount is $50. 1875 % less than
the February apportionment of 1851 This
is owing partly to the fact that the counties
of San Diego aud Contra Costa, who have
refused 10 settle with the State, owing 10
the fact that they hold certificates of de-
post from the late State Treasurer, which
the present State Treasurer refuses to ac-
