CHURCHMAN'S WRATH
1t is Aroused Because Certain Streets
Are Ordered Vacated.

1t is Aroused Because Certain Streets
Are Ordered Vacated.
The proposed ordinance presented to
the City Trustees a week ago by G. N.
Post, declaring certain streets in the OK
treme northeastern portion of the city
(embraced in asparagus gardens and
orchards) vacated, was read a second
time at yesterdays session of the board.
L. G. Churchman was on hand and
opposed its passage, claiming that the
city had no right TO do any such thing.
He said the scheme was one in which the
California Bank was interested and also
Messrs. Rider and Cavanaugh. He
claimed that every man who had tried to
open the streets was bought off and he
himself was offered SI00, and S25 every
month 10 keep his suit hanging fire in
the courts. He did not propose to be
bought of, and If the board would give
him show he would have the streets
opened by order of the court.
&. y. Post, who presented the ordi-
nance, claimed that some Of Mr.. Church
mans statements were untrue. He said
there was no need of opening the streets,
and such action by the board would only
entail additional expense or the city.
Forty-seven extra blocks would have to
| be graded and sprinkled, and nobody
would be benefited. Mr.. Post said he
appeared in the interest of Curtis II.
| Todd.
On roll-call the ordinance was adopted,
and Mr.. Churchman departed with an in
sulting remark directed at the members
of the board
The record-union., 1891-07-14

Health to the Trustees for passage, was
before the latter booy yesterday. 1t was
held by the Mayor to be too voluminous,
and for that reason he was afraid of the
cost of advertising it.
Trustee Conklin thought it could be
shortened great deal and be made just
as strong.
DR.. Nichols said the ordinance could
not be shortened consistently. 1t was an
ordinance that was needed, as it regu-
lated all mechanical plumbing.
Mayor Comstock wanted to delay action
until next week in order to see if he
could not reconcile himself to the ordi-
nance.
Trustee Mclaughlin said he proposed
to stand by the Board of Health as long
rs they showed a disposition to do good
work for the city He would vote to
adopt the ordinance.
The Mayor again made request for q
weeks time, and Trustee Mclaughlin
made vigorous objection.
Trustee Conklin sided with the Mayor,
and despite formal request from DR..
Nichols on behalf Of the Board of Health,
that action be taken Immediately, the
ordinance was laid over one week.

POVERTY AND DEATH.
What the Howard Association Is Doll

What the Howard Association Is Doing
Sad Cases of Distress.
The report of the Howard Benevolent
Association for the month of June shows
that twenty-eight men, ifty-one women
and eighty children, making a total of
159 persons, were assisted by the grant
ing of /, Ill dispersations.
The donations Of clothing, etc., received
from friends of the association was esti-
mated at the value of S29 75.
Three deaths occurred among the bene-
ficiaries of the association, all the victims
being fathers Of families, which are thus
left without support. The cause of death
in each case was consumption, and the ma
.iority left behind of those families are L.
able TO the same affiiction.
In another family the mother is Just on
the brink of the grave from consumption.
There is no doubt that the want of proper
food and shelter is the main cause of the
swift ravages Of consumption. The asso-
citation is doing all that it can to relieve
distress in the city. A little more finan-
cial aid from those who can afford it
would be welcome to the suffering de-
pendants.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES DEFENDED.
The Recent Diphtheria Outbreak in
TEL Dorado COuutv

The Recent Diphtheria Outbreak in
EI Dorado County.
Some weeks ago reference was made in
these columns to the fact that six deaths
from diphtheria had occurred in one fam
lily in FL Dorado County, and local pa
per was quoted to the effect that the dis
ease was caused by the children drinking
foul water from ditch which supplied
the public school. The item referred to
criticised the trustees of that school dis
trict for their apparent negligence in not
providing suitable drinking water for the
pupils Of the school. The PlaceryilIe
RepH6tc021, referring to the matter, says:
No blame is attached to the trustees
and there is nothing to show that the
school children suffered in the least from
the water which was used during the
winter, as il only became impure about
the time school closed. It is supposed
that after the warm weather began in
April, at or near the close of school, the
the condition of the water rapidly
became worse. The family in which
the disease occurred lived near the
school-house and used the water con-
tinuously. The school closed about two
months before diphtheria broke out, so
that the trustees were in no way respon-
sible for the sickness. Our contemporary
has done the trustees an unintentional
injustice, which we hope it will set right. -
II any injustice has been done the
school trustees it was by one of the Placer
vile papers, which stated that the water
which the pupils had to drink was foul
and unwhoIesome. 1t was the duty OF
the trustees to know the facts and to have
provided pure water for the school.

TO IRRIGATB THE PLAINS
Another Promising Enterprise Pr
iectad by the Nntnrna Cnnnnanv

Another Promising Enterprise Pro-
jected by the Natoma Company.
The uplands in the eastern portion of
the county, which have not been extern
sively cultivated because of the lack OF
water, are in way to be greatly bene-
flied by proposed irrigation enterprise
on the part OF the Natoma Water and
Mining Company.
This company has in view the construc-
ton of irrigating canals running from
Folsom in south and southeasterly direc-
tions, through which the water to be di-
verted by the big American River dam
viii be conveyed to the plains.
Irrigation is all that section needs to
make it productive and prosperous, es-
pecially as grape and raisin-p producing
locality.
