Jos. Steffens, of the Citizens Executive
Committee on Tuesday communicated with
the Directory of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, asking if it would feel at liberty to
contribute to the citizens fund for the First
Ward. in which its works and depots are
| located. Thursday Mr.. Steffens received
| from Colonel c. Fred Croker a dispatch
stating that the Executive Committee of the
| company had determined to subscribe to
| the fund the sum of $500. Yesterday Mrs.
T.. B. Crocker, Sacramento's Lady Boun-
| tiful," subscribed to the general fund the
sum of 500. While these generous do
nations greatly relieve the committee,
there is need for the broadest lib
crafty still from our people, and these
| examples instead of creating feeling that
enough has been given, should stimulate
all the people to emulate the liberality
noted to the measure of each individual s
| ability. This is a case where every citizen
owes something 10 his town, and ought to
discharge the debt, at least in part. More
money is needed, and must be had.
