COUNTY srrroET
Under this head DR.. Babcock considers the meth.
oGs Of maintaining patients in the States where the
State does not pay the whole amount for the support
Of beneficiary patients In New York public pa-
ients are maintained At rate not exceeding the &C
tual cost. and it is charged to the patients county
In Pennsylvania and Maine the counties are required
20 max. such payments. He makes this recolnmen.
dation: If such plan meets with your approval
the suggestion might be made to the General Assem-
bly, to consider the ad"isibiiy of having the COM
mssioners Of every county pay for each OF its bene-
ciary patient Il porioH-sIy one-haf--of the actual
expense through their treasurer into the State
ury In this way the ability of the friends or rca-
lives of patients to tribute to their support will
be called to the attention OF the county officers more
orciby than appears to have been possible by exist
ing laws. while the State treasury will be relieved Of
part OF the burden, and at the same time greater
discrimination asregards proper cases viii be en-
forced. This will divide beneficiary patients into two
distinc; classes: ~ County patients, those who
support upon the communities in which they live ::
(2) State patients, those Who have established
claims npon any community by birth or legal resi-
dcnce.

TAXABLE PROPERTY.

The total taxable property Of the State for the sca

$50 CO., l2l Tor the last fiscal year An inc.e OF
$l1 6i0,2lS over last year. About ~ per cent. ol
this Increase is u, the increased assessments upon
railroads banks and other corporate property IN the
State.
nor has it been shown that these assessments

assessed.
No complaints have reached this office from the
increases on other classes Of persona! property. II
is known that the increase comes almost entirely

This legislature in my judgement should order

IS known tha, the average assessment upon THIS class
OF taxable property is not much ABOVE % per cent
OF It's real money value. which difficulty can now DC
remeGied only by the authority Q! law coming
through the action OF the Legislature.
There are, have good reasons 10 believe, mill

not upon the books, can i; be fairly reach

The fact that large amount OF property escapes
taxation ato.e ,hcr and That values placed so low
upon other property makes the burden upon that
class OF property honestly returned and assessed,
unbc; able and vicious, and hcLce largely the cause

The Capay Valley Land Company is Offering the
most fertile lands in this beautiful valley upon terms which
enable the purchaser pay for the land out of its own
product viz: Interest only for FIVE years at per cent
The only condition imposed is that reasonable pro-
portion OF the land purchased shall be planted to fruit
trees or vines Land may be bought without this
condition on payment of 20 per cent. cash and re-
naming SO per cent at the end of five years. with
terest annually IN advance at per cent. The various
tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company have
been subdvlded into and lots which are for
sale at prices varying from $50 to $3.50 per acre SINH
lar unmproved land in Vaca Valley has recently been
sold at $500 and $500 per acre.
These Capay Valley lands are under the most favor
able climatic conditions for the prosecution of profitable
fruit growing, and the locality has proved itself be
one of the earliest in the State The grape crop of 1890
from the companys vineyard at Cashmere was picked
dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia before
the Fresno County grapes were ripe.
The railroad passes through all Of the tracts owned by
the Capay Valley Land Company, thus insurng excel
lent shipping facilities and land may be purchased
in the immediate proximity OF either of the following
stations Capay, Cadenasso Surrey, Guinda Sauterne
Cashmere or Rumsey.
At many of these places fine orchards of the choicest
and earliest varieties of peaches and aprcots may already
be seen, and during the coming considerable adj
ditiona acreage will be planted One of the recent
sales made by the company was that Of the Tancred
Tract, containing 500 acres, to colony ASSOCIATION
This tract has been subdvided into forty holdings all
which will be planted to fr:,t trees this season.
The fine orchards on the Guinda Tract, where 4oc
acres have been sold are especially worthy of menion
and it is significant fact that several of the blocks are
owned by successful Vaca Valley fuitgrowers who ex
pect to make their earliest shipments from here.
The record-union., 1891-10-28

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad.
vantage the frutgrower of being in early locality.
In most it makes the difference between
and failure The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley
may assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that
of this rich land, when the are in bearing,
will yield handsome and assured income.
The Capay Valley Land Company has agent re.
siding in the valley, whose duty show the various
tracts to land seekers.
-Four townsites have been laid in different points
in the valley, viz Esparto, Cadenasso, Guinda and
Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason.
able prices and on easy terms
The enerprising and fourishing town of Esparto IS
situated the lower end of the valley, and $25,ooo
worth of substantial buildings have already been erected
including fine four-story brick hotel, two large brick
blocks and waterwors with pipes laid in the streets,
besides extensive warehouses and residences.
The town has postofce, school-house and weekly
paper and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express Offices.
Postoices have alse been established at Gunda and
Rumsey This latter place. situated at the head OF the
valley is the present terminus Of the railroad The
comfortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for
hunters as well as land-seekers
The advantages enjoyed by the settler IN Capay Val
ley may be thus concisey summed up:
soil Of great fertility yielding bount'tuly OF every
crop.
| A soil and climate which will rpen all kinds of frui
and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.


The Pacific Improvement Company mas re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
meat. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
90, so, 120, 16O and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
mert of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF fl We equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the pTin-
cipal is to be paid for three years and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual tnstallments, With in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sufed that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other gradec Of land at prices to corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject Of this advertisement viii prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
