street labor, s., l38. 9l: bridges, buildings and

be added, together with 81, 500 a month for labor

The stringency of the times does not seem to
extend to the payment of taxes During the
past week, City Treasurer Ames received A,756
from delinquents. The result of the collections
this year will make very favorable comparison
with that of any other year. The sale OF prop
erty begins today, but it will be almost entirely
confined to very low priced lots.
The next task of the treasurer Will be to bring
suit against large number of delinquent prop
erty owners for grade taxes. He will proceed
with the absolutely safe cases first. Those who
are both willing and able to pay have been very
active lately. During the past week alone 81 500
was paid in, nearly all in small sums.

hurt yesterday afternoon at the ground of the
Madison street pavilion. by the iron pully
which is used in the slide for life falling upon

Why NOT INVESTIGATE /?
Charges Continue to Pile in Against
the Poundmaster.
Citizens Say Their Property Has Been
Injured and Families Insulted
by Privileged Parties.

And now comes Mrs. NJ. G.. Eldred,
who resides at Twentieth and I streets,
with complaint against the Pound
master. She states that on Monday, as
she was leading her cow from her gate,
the door-bell rang. She threw the rope
over fence post until she could go to the
door, and although she was gone only
few moments, when she returned she
found her cow in the possession of the
Poundmaster. Despite her protestatlons
that the COW was running loose, and
ell her pleading, she says she was COM
PEELED to pay the Poundmaster dollar
before he would give her possession of
her property.
This is the lady's statement, and, in the
light of other complaints made against
the Poundmaster or his deputies, it bears
the stamp of plausibiiity.
1t is not for such things that pound
ordinances are passed. Indeed, scarcely
day goes by that complaints are not
made by good and responsible citizens
against the Poundmaster's conduct.
Where there is so much smoke it would
seem there must be some fire.
There is abundant testimony before the
Trustees going TO show that certain per-
sons enjoy special privileges at the hands
of Poundmaster O'Neill. Now if the
Trustees have any doubt on the subject,
why do they not summon before them
the alleged favorites of that Official
those who pasture their cattle in the
streets and on other citizens premises
place them under oath and question
them as to how and why they have been
thus favored. Such an investigation
might develop something interesting.
Citizens Of good character have testified
before the 1ruesteeS to alleged conduct
on the part of POundmaSter o. NeilI
which, if established, should not only
deprive him Of his office, but would, in
8Ome communities, entitle him to q ride
on a rail beyond the city limits. These
citizens say they have been deferred from
taking the matter into their own hands
because whenever they have protested
against the abuses heaped upon them.
their wives and daughters have been
made unwilling listeners to the fOuleSt
OF language and-on the part of certain
Cattle-OWner who enjoys the POurdmas
ter'S faVorS-tO absolute acts Of indecency.
Rather than take the law into their own
hands, these citizens have left their en-
ployment time and again to lay their
grievances before the City Trustees, and
it would seem that the board should do
something more than merely interrOgate
the Poundmaster as to the truth of the
charges made against him. These have
been specific, and should be fully in
quired into. Men who pay taxes,
and who labor hard for the means with
which to establish and improve their
homes and rear their children in moral
atmosphere, should be protected by the
authorities from injury to their property
as well as from the class Of indignities to
which they allege their families have
been subjected.
This is not a trifling matter to them,
and it is one that is not beneath the dig
nitY of the CitY Eathers to investigate.

association viii be able to feel. when the
baths are once opened, that he has con-
t.ihuted TO the saving of young and valu-
able lives.
Persons who have been able to swim
for miles in open water declare that they
have had great difficulty in swimming
across the Sacramento River, owing to its
numerous and, powerful eddies and
undercurrents. Nearly every summer
several cases of drowning occur from this
cause. Parents viii, therefore, doubtless
hail with JOY the completion of the swim
ming baths, where children will be
looked after, and where cases of drown
ing cannot occur.

n New Carpet House.

The furniture establishment of John
Breuner, which has had a beneficial ex-
istence in our midst for the past thirty
six years, has undergone many changes
within the past few years. From time to
time extensive improvements have been
made on the property and increased facil-
ties have been added To the manufactur-
ing department. The business transacted
by the establishment is without doubt
larger than that of any other house of
this particular kind in Northern Caliior-
MIA. The successors to the late John
Breuner, his sons John and Louis L.
Breuner, are eyincing the characteristic
enterprise and public spirit OF their
father by further improvements and an
additional department, which embraces
one of the largest and most complete
stocks of carpets, lace and silk draperies,
window shades, curtain poles, etc. The

newest designs, and, no doubt, many pe0-
