are now active in il, including the Peabodys
and kiddeT. The firm IS prominent all over
the world and is generally looked upon as
Boston house, but its operations in New

Though it has been out q week we
have just received copy of the Ex-
press containing the statement OF
county finances for the quarter end
ing April S0th last.
There are a good many things in 1t
that we country people do not under
stand and concerning which we
would like some information.

can get one. Some of us want to go
there. 1t seems BeXar county pays
over 81 500 per quarter for groceries
and meat. Who are the county con-
tractors that enjoy this patronage?
Under miscellaneous we find an Item
index work 5000. Having observed
this item for years our people would
like to know what is being indexed,
who got the job to which there is no
end. Thousands of dollars are being
paid each year for this work and no.
body knows what 1t Is for. Some one
suggests that the county officials are
making on index to the names Of vot-
ers, domestic and imported but this
ought not to cost so much.
There Is rumOr current here That
the county court allows the sheriff
$500 per year though the Law plainly
says not exceeding $500, that the
county court employees license de-
tective for the collector at the expense
of the county. We want information
on these matters.
There lie another extraordinary
item in the report.
Plans for county Jail S94o. What
does this mean ana who got the
money.
Is it possible that the county paid
S94S 0S for the plans of little addition
TO the Jail?

had unanimously decided to deny the re-
quest to allow the city to use the Perry
Seminary building for a Jail.
Trustee Mclaughlin suggested that the
board send the communication back to
the School Directors. They had held the
Seminary building for ten years, and
had no use for it. He was in favor of
compelling them to give up the posses
sion.
The Mayor said he had examined the
Arcade building, and the one at Fifth
and | streets. He thought the former
was not suited for the purposes of jail
1t was too dark, and there was not
enough room. He believed the building
at Fifth and 1 streets was good one, and
suggested that carpenter be hired to ex-
anime it and find out If it was well built
and strong.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he was not pre-
pared to vote at present for any particu-
lar place. He wanted a weeks further
time in which TO examine all of the
buildings.
The matter was therefore laid over
again for one week.

A PRIVATE SWITCH.
A letter from General Superintendent
Fillmore of the Southern Pacific was read
relative to request of certain El Dorado
County petitioners for new switch one
and one-quarter miles northeast of Lat
robe. Mr.. Fillmore says the location of
the proposed switch is near two existing
switches at Latrobe and at Bryant's,
and these, in his judgment. are more
convenient than the one asked for would
be. Both are on the county road, and to
put in the one proposed would bring
them entirely too close to each other. He
adds.
II understand that the first signer of
the petition, Louis Caffaro, is the person
who really wants the SWITCH and that the
rest are III q friendly way endeavoring to
help him out, they not having any par
ticular interest in it. If Mr.. Caffaro
wishes spur track put in for his private
use, we are ready to do the same for him
as we do for all others, namely, at his
expense. Under the circumstances I
respectfully ask your honorable body to
advise these petitioners that you refuse to
ask the Southern Pacific Company to put
in this switch at its own expense"
Mr.. Litchtield moved that the switch
be put in under the usual conditions ex-
acted by the company; that is, the defray-
ing, by those interested, of the cost of
material, etc.
The motion was carried.

AS solution of the street-rubbish-
burning problem, how would it do for
the Trustees to pass an ordinance per-
mitting bonfires up to, say, o'clock ia
the afternoon? The chief trouble comes
from fires that are allowed to burn after
that hour, when the atmosphere becomes
heavy and the smoke does not rise, but
invades the houses.

Saloon-keepers Cannot Evade the Mid
night-closing Ordinance by Re-
sorting to the Trick.

Our City Trustees have backbone
enough. even if they do not display it
very often. They gave evidence of this
fact yesterday by refusing to issue special
licenses to certain saloon-keepers to run
their places after midnight simply be-
cause they set out few crackers and
beans for their patrons.
A. j. Senate complained to the Trustees
yesterday that many of the saloon pro-
prietors in town were running a so-called
restaurant business after midnight, in or
der to eyade the ordinance requiring So
looms to close at that hour. They put out
big signs offering meals for trifing
sum, and when person entered there
was nothing but an ordinary saloon
lunch-counter. It was done simply to
evade the license law. He Senate had
run a respectable restaurant for twenty
years, and it was not just to him to allow
the evasion referred to. He paid a special
water license for his restaurant, and was
willing to wager that the saloons did not.
All they had to do was to put couple of
boiled eggs and few sandwiches behind
the counter and they got restaurant
license.
George Schorling and the proprietor of
the Ell Dorado Saloon were present, and
they claimed that they were running res
| taurants. 1t did not matter what they
charged for meals. They furnished them
at all hours, and were willing to pay the
special water license.
Mayor Comstock said he wanted the
ordinance strictly enforced, and Trustee
Conklin said he guessed the police ought
to be able to tell the difference between
restaurants and saloons.
The further discussion of the matter
was deferred until the afternoon session.
At the afternoon session the Mayor
said he had seen Chief of Police Drew in
regard to the matter referred to him of
reporting as to whether or not the after
midnight lunches set out by certain
| saloOn-keepers who claim to be running
restaurants were legally such. The
Chief, he said, declined the responsibility
of deciding the question.
The matter came up for action on the
application of John Schorling for a spec
ial license to keep his saloon open after
midnight in connection with an eating
stand.
Mr.. Senate suggested that the board
make general order to cover the whole
matter. He did not think it right to
grant license in one case and refuse it
in another. Either repeal the midnight
ordinance altogether, or refuse to allow
anyone to keep his saloon open under
pretense of running a restaurant by sim
ply providing lunch-table for patrons.
Mayor Comstock said that, in order to
bring the matter to a head, he would move
that the application be refused. He in
cluded in his motion all similar applica-
tions.
The motion was carried unanimously,
and the Mayor remarked, "All you gen
tlemen have to do now is to close at mid
night"
At midnight last night the police were
out closing all saloons that were not en-
titled to keep open, and arresting such
proprietors as persisted in doing so.

City Clerk Young has been instructed
by the Trustees to advertise for plans and
proposals for the construction of booths
to be used at the ensuing city and future

Parties bidding on the same should
study the law carefully. AS these booths
are to be used at many elections, they
should be SO constructed that they can be
readily put together and taken down. In
other places where booths are used they
are put up in a few minutes.

The Board Of Directors of the Sacra-

its regular monthly meeting last night
After transacting the regular routine
business and hearing the monthly report
of the Superintendent, it was decided to
close the baths for the winter. as the
patronage does not warrant keeping open
longer. During the past month the re-
ceipts were not as large as the expendi-
lures, but for the season there was a
handsome margin in favor of the asso-
citation.
The board decided to make an effort to
sell sufficient additional stock during the
winter to make certain improvements
which will materially reduce the running
expenses and at the same time enable
them to give the public better service. 1t
was ordered that the building be placed
in charge of the Secretary while it re-
mains closed, and kept occupied, so that
the property will be protected.

With Set Nets They are Destroying the
River Perch.
1t is said that Kanaka fisherman is in
the habit of nightly violating the fishing
law at Sacramento Slough, near Fremont,
a few miles up the Sacramento River.
The law prohibits the use of set nets,
but this fellow goes to the slough at night,
sets his net across it, and hauls it in in the
morning before daylight.
Sacramento Slough is great breeding
place for perch, and the fishermen who
obey the law complain loudly of the ac-
ton Of this alien poacher and his COM
rades, who are rapidly yeXterminating that
valuable species of fish.
There is no resident Deputy Fish Com
