THEIR LAST SESSION.

UP IT'S YEARS BUSINESS.
The New Members Come in Tomorrow
something About tho Gen.
sus Figures.

The Board of Supervisors met yesterday
forenoon to settle up the business of the old
year and leave every thing clear for the new
Board, which goes into Office to morrow at
noon.
Ali of the members were present and Mr..
Ross presided.
The first matter taken up was the petit.
ton of Mr.. Dye and others for new
county road in the vicinity of Isleton. 1t
appeared, however, that there had been
some misunderstanding regarding the day
set for the hearing of this matter Some OF
the persons interested were present, under
the impression that the matter was TO be
| heard Immediately; others declared that
their notifications cited them to appear on
the oh instant, and still others thought the
matter had been set for the 7th. The Su-
pervisors fiaally ended the dispute by post
p0ning the hearing until next Tuesday,
when the new Board can take hold of it.
communication was received from the
Natoma Vineyard Company asking permits
sion to lay one half mile of piping on the
county road near the vineyard. The re-
quest was granted.
COUNTY BILLS.
Deputy Assessor n. j. McManus was
allowed $3.50, that being the agreed price
for humber of maps executed by him for
use in the Assessors office John Klees
was SLOWED 500 for watching the ballots in
the Hail of Records; and claim for S27
against Road District IA! was ordered
paid.
Clerk Hamilton read the formal an
nouncement of Sacramento eounty's popu-
lauon, as received from Superintendent of
Census Porter at Washington.
Supervisor Greer moved that the docu.
ment be placed on file and synopsis of il
spread upon the minutes.
Before vote was taken, however, some
one suggested that, inasmuch as the cen
sus showed that Sacramento county ad-
vanced from the fourth to the third class,
the Board should take some action in the
matter.
DR.. TEBBETs' MEDICATION.
After some discussion on the subject
with which Mr.. Greer seemed to be the
only one familiar-Supervisor Tebbets ad.
dressed the Board with reference to mat
ter, apropos to the census. which he con-
sidered the attention OF the public should
be directed to. He said that on various
occasions certain persons, taxpayers, had
protested against the action of the Super
visors in allowing some of the
county officers extra clerks. The
Board had been criticised severely at
times for doing this. But the critics did
not stop TO investigate the amount of work
these county officers had to attend to.
Under the law Sacramento was, prior to
the recent census, only a fourth. class
county, while in reality it was county of
the third-clsss-as demonstrated by the
census-and its officers were handling a
correspondingly large amount of work on
fourth-class pay and fourth class forces of
clerks. However" continued Mr.. Teb-
bets, I'VE knew the situation better than
the citizens did, aud we knew that time
alone would set US right. We have taken
much abuse from those who were ignorant
OF the facts, but it is TO be hoped now that
| they will see their mistake, and give us
| credit for exercising good judgment"
Supervisor Greer explained that the
Board could do nothing further than re-
ceive the report of the Census Superintend-
ant. Sacramento county would be duly
declared county of the third-ciass at the
proper time, and there was no need for
anxiety on the part of the Supervisors.
After some further discussion Mr..
Greer's motion to file the document was
adopted
The Board then adjourned until to- m Dr.
row, when the new members Jenkins and
Miller will be formally installed.
