The charities of the people are broad. The
| Howard Benevolent Association is one of
the oldest-known philanthropic organiza-
tons in the country. A large orphan
asylum is maintained, and the Home for
Old Ladies, founded by Mrs. e. B. Croker,
besides several private society charitable
| associations. The County Hospital, the
| City Dispensary and the Central Pacific
Railroad Hospital are notable institutions
| for the relief of the unfortunate.
THE GOVERNMENT
OF the city is vested in a Boarl of three
| Trustees. The First is Mayor and chief
executive officer; the Second, Superintend-
| ent of Streets and Public Works, and the
Third, Superintendent of the Water Works.
The three constitute the legal legislature,
| in which their powers aIGu votes are equal
and their responsibilities are mutual
There is a small police force, with
Chief at its head, con-
trolled by Board of Police
Commissioners a Board of Education of
eight members and Superintendent
elected by the people, and an elective Board
of Fire Commissioners, having charge of
paid fire department consisting of three
steam engines, four hose carts and one
hook and ladder company, the whole en-
gaging the services of about sixty men,
under Chief Engineer and Assistant. An
electrical fire alarm system is an adjunct of

supplied by the Holly system from the
river, the supply being sent through the
mains and pipes by direct pressure from
the central station, where four Holly and
one mammoth horizontal pump fur
nish the propelling power. By this
means, in a remarkably brief time
after an alarm is sounded, fire
pressure is put upon the whole pipe
system throughout the city, or in given
districts as needed. In its earlier history
Sacramento was twice nearly destroyed by
fire. In recent years large fires are not
known, the width of the streets, the barri-
cades of shade trees. the distance between
structures, the system of water pressure at
hydrants and the efficiency of the fire de-
partment rendering the place exceedingly
safe from conhagrations.
III CONCLUSION,
Sacramento is in the midst of a steadily
growing agricultural section; is natural
trade center; is the second city in CONNER
cial importance in the State is the capital
of the State, where the Legislature assem-
bles biennially; is populated by an ener-

of two of the attorneys in the case: At
