The Trustees, simnle nntu-

EDS. RECORD D-UNIoN: The Trustees
should see by Friday nights mass
meeting the sentiments of the people of
this city in reference to the granting of
the electric franchise on p street. Did
ever q people more forcibly express their
opinions than did the taxpayers at this
great demonstration? And now, in the
face of these facts, all sentiment should
be set aside, personal feelings for this or
that old resident should not figure in this
case, whatsoever, but that broad, liberal
spirit which should control the executive
action of those in charge of our munich
Henry should be at once granted permis-
sion to lay his track on p street without
dissenting vote.
Look at it well, gentlemen, you, who
control the welfare Of this city; remem-
Der that our people have no fight with r.
S. Carey. He is simply citizen of this
city, without single right more than
any other taxpayer. He and his property
are here to stay, and the question is, do
we want more enterprise of this kind to
build up our city?
That question rests with you,
Messrs. Trustees, and you shall de-
eide for or against this all : impor-
tant question at your meeting on
Monday. You should not forget
that the little city of Stockton is at this
moment bidding for this same enterprise
which you see fit to drive away. They
offer Mr.. Henry big inducements to To-
cate there. But they are live people;
they have one of the largest agricultural
works in the State, and several others are
in operation, and they want more.
But let it not be said of Sacramento
years hence that she had hard luck-that
capital and enterprise passed her doors.
| This would be a downright falsehood
Capital has come here upon many occa-
sions, and each time has been refused a
| foothold, and it is again seeking for ad-
mittance. Shall we grasp the opportu-
nifty?
mistake this people if they suffer this
much longer. They should, in Justice to
themselves and their children, take the
reins of this city government in hand
and lead her out of the land of the will
| derness. They should do this In defense
of their property and homes, which most
| of them have spent their lives in saving
up for old age.
| But / have confidence in themen whom
the people of this city have temporarily
| put in charge of her affairs, and I shall
await their action on this franchise, be-
! lieving that their own good judgment
will tell them that the people want the
P-street franchise granted, and of course
| they have but one course to take, and
that is to grant it. a TAXPAYER.

The State Board OF Trade Makes Some
Valuable Suggestions.


Valuable Suggestions.
President Gregory of the State Board
of Trade has sent out to the Presidents of
the various county boards circular in
which he says:
'Colonel John p. Irish, Chairman of
the Committee of immigration of the
State Board of Trade, will, under the
auspices of the board, visit each of the
various affiliated counties for the purpose
of inquiring into the resources thereof
and the desires of the citizens in respect
TO the development of such industrial
interests as may offer fair field for the
investment of capital or employment of
1obor.
''In the meantime, beg to suggest that
q conference be had with the citizens, so
that when Colonel Irish shall visit the
country there may be an agreement upon
the essential facts to be presented-for
instance:
1.-THE necessity of the establishment of
factories, and the inducement offered to
capitalists.
(Which kind of fruit returns the most
profit, and can the field for culture be eX-
tended?
What are the profits per acre, accom-
panied with the statements of responsible
persons?
How much Government land is there
in the county, and if any, it's accessible
ity and value?

as basis of comparison with lands in the
