BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
JOINING HANDS WITH OTHER coUN-
TIES AGAINST HYDRAULICKING.
County Health Officers Elected-More
Petitions for Reductions in the
Assessors Figures.

The Board of Supervisors resumed its
session, yesterday forenoon. The members
were all present except Mr.. Black.
The entire forenoon session was con-
sumed in examining large batch of claims
againt the County Treasury. Nothing
unusual happened until the demand of the
Folsom Telegraph for SLIT for printing
pound ordinance ten times. Messrs. Greer
and Bates thought the bill little too high,
and resolved to investigate. By comparing
it with the bills of the city dailies, it was
found, so the Supervisors declared, that the
county weekly was charging nearly three
times as much per insertion as the big
dailies.
Mr.. Bates took the bill and said he would
cut it down to $40 80.
Chairman Ross objected to this. He said
the proper way to proceed was to hear the
other side first. He did not think any Su-
pervisor-even a member of the Printing
Committee-had right to cut down bill
before investigating it.
Mr.. Bates fared up Enthusiastically
Now just you look here" he said shaking
the bill at the Chairman. I'm going to cut
this bill down. whether you like it or not,
now"
Somebody said that Mr.. Mcfarland, the
editor of the Folsom paper, was in town,
and might elucidate matters. The bill was
accordingly laid over, and Mr.. Mcfarland
sent for. When the gentleman arrived he
explained that he had made an error in
making out the bill-that it should call for
81 A instead of S177
The Supervisors accepted the corrected
bill and allowed the claim, Mr.. Bates vot-
ing no.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
In the afternoon Supervisor Tebbets
called the attention of the Board to the pro-
posed conference of the counties of Yuba,
Suffer. Colusa, Yolo and Sacramento, for
the purpose of organizing Ito stamp out of
existence the last remnant of hydraulic
mining on the American and Feather
rivers" He explained that while the
counties were proceeding in the matter in
dividually, it entailed considerable expense
upon each. The proposition now was to
join hands and each pay an equal share of
all around. He believed that Sacramento
county should join in the conference.
Mr.. Bates revived his proposition about
getting Uncle Sam to put few soldiers
up there" He said he didn't believe in
spending any more money for detectives
who were afraid to go into the mines and
get evidence. "They can find lots of places
where there has been mining" he said.
but they amt worth cent at catching
them at it. If Uncle Sam will just put a
few soldiers up there-let em camp right
on the ground-some good will be accom-
plished. They would be worth all the
lor nd DOT ot, sxxt
Messrs. Tebbets and Greer did not be.
lieve that Uncle Sam was going to take any
hand in the matter. Mr.. Greer finally
made motion that it be declared the
sense of the Board that it favors the confer
ence scheme, and will meet with the other
counties at any time and place suggested
for the purpose of completing arrange
ments.
The motion was adopted.
1t was announced that the terms of Office
OF the three county health officers was
about to expire, and Mr.. Greer moved that
the present incumbents be re- elected. The
motion was carried. The officers are: DR..
