CLOSE OF THE SESSION.
The Supervisors Finish Up Their jan
uary Business.
New Roads Opened-A Rumpus Over
a Barbed-Wire Fence at
Oak Park.

The Board of Supervisors concluded its
January session yesterday All of the
members were present, and Mr.. Greer
presided.
The minutes of Thursday, referring to
the resignation Of Sperry Dye as man
ager of the Walnut Grove ferry, were
corrected. 1t was decided not to accept
the resignation Of Dye, nor release him
from his bonds until his successor had
qualified. Mr.. Dye operated the ferry on
behalf of the Sharp estate for some time,
but now, having severed his connection
with that estate, he desires to be released
from further responsibility.
NEW ROAD OPENED.
J. +. Cross appeared before the board
again with reference to the proposed new
road he and others petitioned for, con-
meeting the Auburn and Antelope roads.
Mr.. Cross explained that all of the prop
erty-owners along the line of the pro-
posed road had consented to opening it
except one, and this PERSONS signature
lad not been obtained simply because he
was not now resident of the county. It
was understood, however, that this per-
son would not object.
The members of the board concluded
that they would be safe in opening the
road without this PERSONS signature, and
an order TO that effect was made.
MORE TROUBLE AT OAK PARK.
At nearly every session of the Super
Yisors there is ventilated some rumpus
over streets and roads at Oak Park. \ es-
terday the complaint of Mr.. Allen and
others, that the Oak Park managers had
placed barbed-wire fences across Manza-
nita avenue and Thirty-third streets, so
that people living in Oak Grove could
not pass through Oak Park nor the resi-
dents of the latter place pass out, was
taken up again. These, say the COM
claimants, prevents people from reaching
the electric railway, and inconvenience
them greatly. They petitioned the SUI
pervisors to remove the fences.
L. l.. Lewis of the Oak Park Associa-
ton was present with his attorney, Joseph
Hughes, and the petitioners were repre-
scented by Charles y. Post. Both sides
were aggressive, and there were some
heated debates. Each presented wit
nesses who testified in support of the par
ticular side they appeared for.
The Oak Park folks claimed that there
was little or no travel over the highways
the petitioners wanted opened. and that
the streets had not been dedicated to the
county. The other side maintained that
the streets were travelled great DEAL and
that the county had obtained jurisdiction
through usage.
WILL OPEN IT.
The wrangling lasted an hour or more,
but was finally submitted to the Super
visors. The latter voted unanimously to
open the road, and ordered the Road
Overseer of that district to proceed to re-
move the distractions.
Attorney Hughes gave notice that if
any one trespassed upon the Oak Park
property, such person would be dealt
with according to law.
Mr.. Lewis, who was quite put out over
the action of the Supervisors, declared
that they would have to fight a long
time before they could get those roads
opened"
On motion of Mr.. Bates, Sheriff Stanley
was requested to advertise for bids this
year for printing the delinquent tax list
After passing what remained of the De-
cember bills, the board adjourned for the
term.
