They Refuse to Have East Park Saddled
Upon the City.
The Board of City Trustees met in regu-
lar session yesterday morning, allthe mem
bers present.
The report of the Chief Engineer of the
Water Works shows that IA 6O4, 500 gallons
OF water had been pumped, and that in so
doing the Holly machine had worked l6s
hours.
The following communication in regard
to the last Park proposition was received
from the City Attorney, who evidently sane
lions the manner in which the Board has
considered the matter
To the Honorable Board of Trustees Of the Gin of
SGcTdHlertO-GEETLEMES Concerning the nTon
osition of certain shareholders in what is known
as the East Park Association of this city TO do
nate their respective shares therein to the CITY
OF sacramento, on conditions and terms named
in their written proposition to your honorable
Board, beg leave to say that as a matter of law
tnere is IN my judgment no question about the
ability or competency of the city to legally ac-
cept the same. AS TO the policy of accepting
only majority OF the shares therein, while the
remaining shares are owned by private indiyid-
uals, thus establishing co partnership between
private individuals in its ownership the CITY
however, being bound under the conditions Of
the propositions TO stand all expenses incurred
IN keeping II up, is question which addresses
itself TO the sound discretion of your honorable
Board. Respectfully submitted,
{. C. HART, City Attorney.
Alter reading the communication an or
der was passed stating that they would not
accept the proposition unless all the shares
were donated to the city.
a petition was received, signed by q
number OF property owners, who are anx-
lous to have an electric mast on Twenty
eighth and T streets. The Street Commits
sloner will see whether or not one is needed
in that locality.
Thomas Hague appeared and requested
that the amount charged him for water for
the last half score of years be made rea-
sonable sum, as it was not. The Superin-
tendent Of the Water Works will right the
wrong.
Properry-owners petitioned that side
walk be placed on the south side of f
street from Seventeenth to Eigh teenth,
and the Street Commissioner recommended
that their request be granted.
Mayor Gregory stated to the Board that
Chinatown was being cleaned upin a thor
ough manner, and in the course of few
days the work would be completed.
A. j. Wilson submitted the names of
persons who were owing for plots in the
New Helvetia Cemetery. The Board in
structed him to see these persons and de-
mand payment, and to report those who
refused to do so.
The Board allowed few bills aud ad-
journed, but Immediately after repaired to

wnaT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

All along the Big Meadows of the
Humboldt, the ranchers are
-. discharging their hands, ard the
once green fields OF Timothy and
alfalfa are drying up for want OF
water.
This is because the Humboldt
river is running nearly dry and
there is no water for irrigation.
III the various legislatures of this
State had been composed OF men OF
common sense, in years gone by,
and if the State officers had been
disposed to assist instead of hamper
cd, needed legislation the. Humboldt
river would be running bank full
to dav and the Big Meadows would
no. be drying up for the want OF
water
Ii the State ever expects to get
on its feet il must do something Tor
itself and have the nerve to spend
a little money in doing it.
We must begin to spend money,
for irrigation, and the building OF
reservoirs to store water.
In Summer when wheat grows
the farmers store the wheat for
Winter use, but in the Winter
when the water gees to waste ne
does not store the water for Sum
mer use.
Few men have the capital 70 do
this, therefore the people of the
State through their representatives
should see that provision is m AIDE
for this work.
They can never do it however IS
long as they send these
crazy ECONOMY and Reform"
people to the legislature who
vote against public improve
ments, fight all exenditures and
insist that the only money spent
nv the State shall be that expended
in paying their salaries and mile
age.
What they consider economy is
really the most foolish and reckless
extravaganza. When it was every
where claimed that the State could
not afford to spend tine money to
build storage reservoirs for irriga-
ton. the excuse was met by
scheme to organize lottery under
a State franchise and pay S25 900
wear in the State Treasury. Had
that bill become law there would
have been $50, 900 on January lst.
1889 in the state::Treasury tor the
legislature to appropriate for the
benefit of irrigation.
The bill however was fought
tooth and nail by hit OF bogus
moral reformers and since that time
over $500 900 has left this State to
20 to New Orleans.
The men who persist in fighting
for the Louisiana Lottery Company
in this State had better 60 to Louis
lana and live, instead oil making
Nevada their abiding place.

CLEyELAND,s lNSINCERITY

How utterly insincere and hollow
are the pretensions Of Cleveland
can best be judged by the following
from his letter of August Is, 1854,
accepting his first nomination to the
Presidency:
When an election to office shall
be the selection by the voters OF one
al their number to assume for
time q public trust instead OF his
dedication to the profession OF poll
tics; when the holders OF the ballot,
ouickened by a sense of duty shall
avenge truth betrayed aod pledges
broken, and when the suffrage shall
be altogether free and interrupted,
the full realization of a government
by the people will be at hand.
And of the means to this end not
one would, in my judgment, be
more effective than an amendment
to the Constitution disqualifying the
President from reelection. When
we consider the patronage OF this
great office, the allurements OF
power, the temptation to retain
place once gained, and more than
all, the availability party inds IN
er incument whom a horde OF Office
holders, with yea! born OF benefits
and fostered by the hope OF .avors
vet 10 cone, stsLd ready to aid with
money and trained political service,
we recognize in the eligibility OF the
President for reelection a most Sc
rious dsnger to that calm, deliber-
ate. and intelligent political action
which must characterize q govern
rent by the people.
