ter to a Committee.
Call for New Grand Jurors and Trial
Jurors - Decorating County
Water Tanks.

The Board Of Supervisors was in ses-
sion again yesterday, all the members
being present and Mr.. Greer in the chair.
County Clerk Rhoads formally notified
he board of the recent order Of the Su-
Derior Court calling for 100 Grand Jurors
and 400 trial jurors from the body Of the
county, to serve during the ensuing

sIXTEENTH-sTREE ROAD AGAIN.
Once more did the Sixteenth-street
road problem bob up again.
Attorney Matt +. Johnson appeared
before the board on behalf of Messrs.
Silva and Holland, two of the opponents
Of the road. He said that his clients de-
sired the course of the proposed road-in
case it should be ordered Opened-changed
slightly from that laid out by the viewers
and surveyors. They desired the change
so that the value Of their property would
not be affected.
There threatened to be another long de-
pate over this knotty road difficulty, but
supervisor Black nipped ii In the bud by
moving that the entire matter be referred
% Chairman Greer and Supervisor Jen-
kins of the Road Committee. These gem
Jlemen are to make report at the next
session of the board. Mr.. Jenkins is at
present opposed to opening the road,
while Mr.. Greer is understood to favor il.
Mr.. Jenkins opposition, however, is on
account of the remOnstrance that has been
made against the road by people living in
hat vicinity. He admitted 10 a reporter
hat a road should extend from Sixteenth
street, and there would be one eventually,
out be thought that the remonstrance had
some weight, and the obiectorS should be
heard. These people are laboring under
rhe hallucination that it is intended to
close up Twelfth street when the new
road is finished, but when they become
convinced that such is not the case they
may withdraw their remonstrance.
PAINTED ADVERTISEMENTS.
H. Llewellyn, a pump-manufacturer
appeared before the board to make an eX-
PLANTATION regarding some sign painting
ne had done on the county water tanks
along the main roads. Some time ago
Llewellyn was granted permission to adj
Eertise his business on the tanks. He
shen affected an arrangement with a sign
painter whereby he could get his own
work done for nothing and advertise the
painter too. The painter got into trouble
~ shooting a farmers dog, and got Lie
vellyn into trouble also. This gentleman
had to order the work stopped. He eX-
planned all this to the Supervisors, and
appeared to be anxious for fresh priv
llege.
Chairman Greer, however, intimated
that the advertising privilege already
granted had been abused and he was not
II favor of renewing it. The subject was
dropped after this sally from the Chair
man and Llewellyn left.

Hospital during the coming month. The
awards were as follows: Meat, Gerber
