Mr. McMullen moved that the resigna-
lion be accepted and placed on file, which
was seconded by Mr.. Bates.

to the gentlemen OF the Board that this
office is one of the most important in the
gift of the people OF Sacramento county.
Mr.. Miller has filed the position of Auditor
for the past two terms, or nearly two terms,
and made q most efficient officer | have
been here, member of the Board and con-
nected with him in the business of looking
after the finances of the county for the past
two years. and have always found his &C.
counts correct and always found him per-
iectly willing to show the Board any irreg-
ularities that might happen. l understand
| that the reason he has presented his resig-
| nation to this Board is that ne has accepted
q position in the California State Bank, q
very important position, and one that
shows that the gentleman has proven him
self an honorable, upright and straightfor-
ward man, or such a position would per-
haps not have been offered to him. | have
no doubt that Mr. Miller feels regret at
being obliged to sever his connection with
the members of this Board, with whom, he
has stated to me, he has always worked in
harmony and in the interests of the tax
payers of Sacramento county. | favor the
acceptance of his resignation only because
it is his desire and because feel that he
leaves us to take most important position,
which will be to greater personal advantage
to himself"
Mr. McMullin said that he had made the
| motion to accept the nomination without
making any comments on it, because he
supposed that all of the members of the
Board understood why Mr.. Miller resigned.
Mr.. Ross, III casting his vote to accept
the resignation, said that he did so with
regret, feeling sorry to have the county lose
Mr.. Miller's services.
The roll was called and the resignation
accepted and placed on file.
