STREET IMPROVEMENT.

Citizens Interested In the Proposed
Stock Company Scheme.
The call tor public meeting of SUBJ
scribers and others interested in the forma-
ton of the proposed citizens stock COM
pany, which intends to take hold OF the
streets, attracted quite number of inter-
ested people 10 the Courthouse last even
ing.
D. A. Lindley presided, and in calling
the meeting TO order briefly outlined the
objects of the company for the benefit of
those who were not already familiar with
the matter. He stated that the proposed
company intended to incorporate with
minimdm capital stock of $40, 600, and con-
tract to grade the streets of Sacramento on
a big scale for just what it cost. Il did not
want any profits, being composed of pub
lie spirited citizens, who only desired to see
our streets put in good shape. He dwelt
at length upon the impossibility of farmers
getting into the city in winter owing to the
condition of the streets and roads in the
suburbs, and said that our merchants had
lost many dollar in this way
The object of last nights meeting was to
get the matter before the public, with the
hope that more persons would be induced
to take stock. Mr.. Lindley said that S16,-
600 had already been subscribed, and he
hoped that those present would consider
the matter seriously, and decide to Join
the movement.
Blanks, headed with the following state
ment, were distributed among those pres.
ent, with the request that they get as many
names attached as possible:
We, the undersigned, being desirous of pro-
noting the improvement of the streets of Sac
ramento, hereby subscribe the amount set oppo-
site our names to a corporation to be formed
under the conditions herewith:
First-That corporation be formed with a
capital stock of not less than $40 600 than
$4,000.
Second-That the business of said corporation
be that of grading, graveling. paving and other
wise improving the streets of Sacramento and
roads in Sacramento county
Said subscriptions to be paid as follows: Ten
per cent when SO, 00) shall have been SUBJ
scribed; balance when called for by the Board
of Directors.
The meeting was addressed by G. A.
Luhrs. A. S. Hopkins, Benjamin Leonard
and F. E. Ray. The last-named gentleman
reported that he had procured estimates
and figures which showed that the work
proposed could be done so per cent cheaper
by the plan proposed than it is now done
by contractors.
A couple of professional contractors, who
had dropped into the room "just to see
what was going on" interrupted Mr.. Ray
several times and pooh poohed at his fig
ures.
Mr.. Ray assured the meeting, however,
that his figures emalated from sources
which were reliable.
After a general discussion, in which
many citizens expressed their confidence in
the ultimate success of the scheme, the
meeting adjourned until next Monday
evening, when they will meet in Justice of
the Peace Bakers office.

MAYOR GREGORY STEPS DOWN.
In announcing the result of the canvas
for the Mayoralty, Mr.. Gregory said it at
forded him great pleasure to introduce as
his successor W. D. Comstock. He appre-
ciated the kindly feelings manifested to-
wards himself by his associates on the
Board of Trustees and by all the city Off
Gals They had all been courteous and
kind to him during his term of Office. His
only regret at leaving was because of the
fact that his association with the other
Trustees had been so pleasant and agree
able. While working together for the best
interests of the city, little differences had
arisen, but he was happy to say that there
had been no friction that lasted upward of
a day. He felt highly honored by his cleo
ton to the office of Mayor, and felt free to
say that he had devoted his best efforts to
advance the interests of Sacramento and
her citizens. He gloried in the record he
had made, although he knew that in doing
his duty he had made some enemies, who
had improved the recent opportunity to
revenge themselves. To the members of
the Board and to Auditor Mckee his
thanks were especially due for past cour-
tesies extended to him. 1t was pleasure
to him to introduce as his successor gen.
tleman in whom he had the most perfect
confidence. He had, ever since his boy
hood days, known Mr.. Comstock as man
of sterling qualities, and had received
many personal favors at his hands. AL
though they had been rivals for the May
orally, there never was the slightest ill-feel-
ing or GOODNESS between them. Mr.. Com

ing in business circles, and he 1.-THE speaker)

When Mr.. Gregory had concluded his
remarks, the Mayor-elect came forward
and said:

sible position which has been so ably filed by
my predecessor and friend, l am mindful of

TO maintain the trust reposed in us.
Trustees Mclaughlin and Wolf then ex-
tended their congratulations to the new
Mayor, who was sworn in by Auditor Nc
kee, and took his seat in the Board.
No new business was transacted, and the
Board adjourned,

Joe Fished Him Ont.

Yesterday morning, Portuguese fisher.
man, named "Joe," made quite catch in
the river at the foot of l. street, in the shape
of man named Joseph WEIGH. Joe had
seen his namesake jump into the water, and
followed him. Welch was nearly stran-
gled when his rescuer got him to the bank,
but the slickens were emptied cut of him,
and then he felt a great deal better-bet-
ter, even, than before he took his plunge,
and more contented with the world. He
has since sworn off, and thinks that life is
really worth the living, after all.
