THE SUPERVISORS AND BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION ALTERNATE.
Alleged Questionable Methods of Road
Overseer-Andrus Island Trustees
Election Called.

The Board of Supervisors reassembled
yesterday forenoon, Chairman Ross pre-
siding and all the members present.
A report was received from County Sur.
veyor Boyd on The matter of the disputed
boundary line between Sacramento and
San Joaquin counties, near Dry creek. In
the report the Surveyor said he had dis
covered that some 800 acres for which
taxes had been paid into San Joaquin's
treasury belonged to Sacramento county
THE facts were published two weeks ago in
the RECORD. UNIoNl
Supervisor Tebbets remarked, after hear
ing the report, that steps should be taken
to get the amount of taxes collected by San
joaquin.
F. Shepherd, the draughtsman who made
up the official county map, disputed the
assertion of the Surveyor. He said the
State lines had been clearly established
and the Assessors books were made M in
accordance with them. San Joaquin, how
ever, claimed that its lines extended above
Dry creek, and assessed accordingly. Sac
ramento had also assessed down to DRY
creek-thus some persons had been paving
taxes into both counties. Sacramento
county had lost nothing. Both counties
were now agreed upon the lines and there
would be no more double assessing.
G. A. Knott and II. Hebb of Isleton ap
peared before the Board to kick against
the manner in which Road Overseel
Dickey of their district is doing his work
They claimed that Dickey keeps hotel
down there and gets the board bills paid by
giving the bOarders all the road work
These boarders were not practical road.
workers. and the result was extravaganza
OUTLAWS for little or no work in return
Knott went still further by intimating that
there was worse than this going on, and he
suggested that the Board would do well to
examine some of Mr. Dickey's demands
closely.
After some discussion the Board practi.
cally decided to take Mr.. Dickey's place
from him temporarily, and in the mean.
time Chairman Ross would look into the
matter, as well as to have done the road
work said to be necessary.
The Board met for few minutes as
Board of Equalization and then took a re-
cess.
