It was ordered that the road to be
opened through the Burns ranch, south
east Of the city, be declared public high
way.
Supervisors Greer, Bates and Black
were appointed committee to act in
conjunction with the Citizens Fourth of
July Committee of Management in pro-
viding ways and means for future cele-
brations of the national anniversary.
Several petitions for saloon licenses
were read and granted.
SOME MORE BAD BRIDGES.
AT the afternoon session Chairman
Greer called attention to the fact that the
bridges on the road leading from Frank
lin to the river are in bad condition.
A resident of that locality explained to
the board the dangerous condition of the
bridges and the trouble caused to farm
ers, who had to break new roads to get
their crops to the river landing.
Supervisor Jenkins, Chairman of the
Road Committee, said he had notified
Overseer Bryan to have the necessary re-
pairs made.
Supervisor Black moved that Mr..
Jenkins be authorized to compel Over
seers to have the roads in their districts
put IN proper condition. So ordered.
DEPUTY sHERIFFS REFUSED.
A communication was received from
Sheriff Stanley, in which that official
said that, owing to the demands of the
Superior Judges for more efficient serv-
ices in the courts; the semi-annual col
lection of taxes and other unusual duties
imposed on his office by the Legislature;
the increase of population, etc, his Office
required the services of two new depu-
ties, their duties to commence on Sep
tember 1st. The Sheriff further set forth
in his affidavit that he now had the same
number of deputies employed by his
predecessors, but that the duties now re-
quired of that department We're in excess
OF those heretofore required.
Chairman Greer said he thought two
deputies were more than the Sheriff re-
quired at this time. If he required more
assistance when the time arrived for the
collection Of taxes, he would be willing
TO allow him whatever help might be
needed; but he did not believe the Sheriff
needed two new deputies now.
Under Sheriff Bugbey explained that
the deputies were not asked for until
September, and the tax collections would
have to be made in October. The new
deputies would require some time in
which TO have their receipts prepared
and to familiariZe them with the work to
be done.
Supervisor Bates moved that the peti-
ton OF the Sheriff be granted, and that he
be allowed two deputies from September
1St and during the pleasure of the board.
The motion was lost, Bates and Black
voting aye, and Miller, jenkins and
Greer voting no.
AUDITING BILLS.
The board then proceeded with the fur
ther examination Of demands against the
county.
The bin of DR.. Mckee, Health Officer
at Elk Grove, was laid aside until such
time as Dr. Mckee might make report
of his transactions and the condition of
his district.
Among other bills taken up was one
from George 0hleyer, President of the
Anti-Debris Association, for 5257 IS, Sac
ramento County's portion OF the expense
incurred in securing evidence to be used
IN the cases pending against certain
hydraulic mining companies operating
along the American River.
Supervisor Jenkins expressed his dis
approval of the bill. He supposed that
X. 7. Devlin, counsel for the county, had
control OF the matter, and he Jenkins)
was opposed TO paying for the services of
men employed in Oroville and other
places outside the county.
Mr.. Bates held that Mr.. Devlin had no
authority to incur expense without an or
der of the board. Before Mr.. DevIin's
engagement Mr.. Ohlyer had been en-
powered to have this work done, Sacra-
mento to pay her portion of the ex-
peuse.
The bill was ordered paid, all but Mr..
Jenkins voting aye.
Reports for July were presented by the
Superintendent of the County Hospital
and License Collector and placed on file.
THAT FOLSOM ALLEY.
Supervisor Bates moved that the open-
ing OF the alley in Folsom petitioned for
by Mrs. Harmon be granted.
Justice Hartford Anderson of Folsom
said that no portion Of Mrs. lannon's
property was affected by the closing of
the alley. 1t had been closed for twenty
years. \ Mrs. DAILY, poor woman, has a
garden there and she would be unable TO
pay the expense Of erecting a division
fence. The opening Of the alley would
benefit nobody, but would injure Mrs.
s,Daly and others.
N Supervisor Jenkins moved as q substi-
tute that the prayer of the petitioner be
refused
Thesubstituted was carried.
