mysteries attached to the duties Of Super

disposed of, Mr.. Greer took the floor, and
announced that the term of Office of the Lii
cense Tax Collector would expire with the

A gentlemen named Swift appeared
before the Board, to call attention 10 the
proposition, brought up some time ago, to
put new bridge across Dry Creek, half in
San Joaquin and half in Sacramento
county, to connect the two county roads
leading TO lone. Mr. Swift has already
built bridge across Dry Creek, and offers
to donate this, together with the right of
way, provided the two counties will pay
for the fencing.
IL was discovered, in looking the matter
up, that no report had ever been received
from the viewers or surveyors with refer
ence to this work. Mr. Swift was informed
that until the report was received the
Board could do nothing.
A communication from Eugene J. Greg
DRY, President of the State Board of Trade
addressed 10 Supervisor Greer, was read BY
the clerk. It called the attention of the
Board TO the lack of interest taken by the
northern counties in keeping California
on Wheels" supplied with fresh products.
and gave the Board shaking up gener-
ally.
Mr. Greer explained that although the
letter was addressed to himself he thought
il prudent TO have it read to the Board. as
1t was no doubt OF interest to all Of the
members. He also referred to the recent
destruction by fire of all the county ex-
hibits at the State Bosrd of Trade rooms al
Ooi IL ahSASSss aili S1ktl II was very uScCS-
sary that Sacramento county should pro-
coed al once with the work OF replacing its
exhibit there.
Mr.. Tehbets moved that the communi.
cation be received and placed on file, snd
that Mr.. Greer be authorized to notify the
people throughout the county, in such
manner as be should see fit, that contribu-
tons to the exhibit would be received: and
that whatever expense he might incur
would be borne by the county.
Supervisor Bates was inclined to be
grumpy. He did not think it was proper
to do anything yet. There was plenty of
time. Why not wait until after the first
of the year, He suggested that Mr.. Teb.
bets should Withdraw bis motion.
Mr. Tebbels jumped to his feet with fire
in his eye. He looked mad. I'm still a
member Of this Board" he declared
warmly, land when Mr.. Bates or anybody
else says l must withdraw any motion |
make in this Board l can assure him I'll
resent it. While I'm in this Board I'm re-
sponsible for what say or do. I'm will
ing enough to leave this Board when nv
term expires. Thank God, Pm going to.
l tell you if anybody could be glad to step
out of this office it's Doc Tebbets. MY
private business is worth too much to me-
But while I'm here Pm as good as any
other member, and don't you forget it,
ether"
After relieving himself of this Mr.. Teb-
bets sat down with thump.
Mr.. Bates only glared at the irate doc
tor.
Supervisor Greer stated that the matter
of replacing Sacramento's exhibit in the
State Board OF Trade rooms should be
treated with q great deal Of courtesy Other
counties, he said, were making fine dis
plays, and if a wealthy county like Sacra
mento did not intend to keep up with them
be did not care TO be representative of the
county as member of the State Board Of
Trade.
Chairman Ross spoke in similar strain,
and Mr.. Black nodded his approval.
Realizing that everybody was against
him. Mr. Bates began to wilt.
Well said he, maybe l don't under
| stand the matter. Have those fIlks got
house for this show yet?''
He was assured that everything would be
all right By the time the exhibit was
ready, and after some further desultory
talk he agreed to vote for Mr. Tebbett's mo-
ton, and il was then unanimously carried
Ex-Judge n. Greene Cortis appeared be-
fore the Board in behalf of Mrs. Valensin
and requested that some action be taken on
the proposed opening of the new road from
Hicksyille to Arno and the closing of an
other, as petitioned for some time ago by
the lady.
Mr.. Curtis was informed, however, that
owing TO disagreement between Mrs Val
ensin and some OF her neighbors, and as
the matter was now in Court, the Board
had deferred action until the question was
settled.
