BIDS FOR PAVING MATERIAL.
On motion of Trustee Green the board
decided to open bids for supplying ma
cadam for the improvement OF streets
not for any particular street, but for all
that the city might need.
S. Johnson of Bencia bid to furnish
basalt at 81 80 per cubic yard.
J.. a. Miller, Sacramento-Granite ma
cadauI per cubic yard 81 70, basalt 81 10,
crushed cobbies 81 50.
b. Labs, Sacramento-Granite 81 50,
crushed cobbles 81 10, crushed rock 81 35
James Touhey, Sacramento-Crushe
granite 81 75, broken cobbles 81 10.
Trustee Conklin expressed his disap-
proval of contracting for macadam for the
streets at such prices. The expense, he
said, would be too great, and he thought
the streets could get along very we'll for
another season without it.
Both the Mayor and Trustee Green
thought the streets should be improved
with something better than gravel the
only question was the expense. The
Mayor thought that at least some ma
cadam should be contracted for, if not for
as much as would be desirable.
The turther consideration OF the matter
was postponed until to-days special
meeting.
THAT TYPEWRITER AGAIN.
Clinton L. White appeared before the
board and called attention to the matter
of the typewriter used in the office OF the
Chief of Police. The machine, he said,
was bought by his brother, b. +. White,
while day clerk in the office. Some of
the purchase money he received from the
making out of bonds for various parties,
and some of the money he furnished out
OF his own pocket. The machiIe is still
in the police Office, and the eX-otficer has
been refused possession OF it. He wished
the board TO make an order awarding it
to his brother.
Mayor Steinman said he found that the
law allowed policemen 500 per month in
full payment for their services, and he
did not see how an officer could collect
Tor extra work.
Mr.. White explained that the making
out of bonds had nothing to do there
whit was purely private matter.
The Mayor said he understood the
money received from the making out of
bonds, ETC., was placed into fund and
used for various police purposes. 1t
looked to him as if the money did not be-
long personally to Officer White.
After some further discussion on the
matter Mr.. White was advised to make
his demand on the Police Commissioners
for the machine, as the City Trustees dis
claimed any interest or authority in the
matter.
\ RELATED REMoNsTRANCE.
y protest was received from residents
on = street, between Second and Third,
against the Improvement of that block,
and representing majority of the prop
erty thereof.
City Surveyor Boyd said the remon-
STRANGE came too late, and as the street
was sadly in need OF Improvement it was
decided to let the work go on as soon as
the material can be had by the property
owners.
AN oBNoNIQkS SEwER-OPENING.
a petition was received from prop
erty-owners in the vicinity of Twelfth
and Il, asking to have the sewer manhole
in that neighborhood improved, and it
was so ordered.
DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE.
A communication was received from B.
May rendering the use of his property
between Seventh and Eighth, L and w
1or dumping-ground tor garbage. If
the Trustees would direct all garbage to
be deposited there, he would provide
men to keep the garbage spread, and
would see that no offensive odors would
be allowed to escape by keeping the gar
bage covered with layers of earth.
,1-1g
Board of Health was considering the
matter it would not be wise for the Trus-
tees to take action at this time.
Mayor Steinman said he had no doubt
that il some company would go to work
and erect crematory and thus dispose
of all the garbage of the city it would
make good thing of it.
wATER-COvERED LOTS.
4 communication was received from
the Board OF Health reporting a number
of lots covered with water that should be
filled, and asking that they be required
TO be filled.
Mayor Steinmar thought the Board of
Health should be sustained, and Trustee
COnklin agreed with him. The former
said the only thing to do was to enforce
the law and thus find out where the city
stands. If the latter has the power to en-
force the regulations If should use it.
Eli Mayo said the trouble with most the
lots about Fifth and q streets came from
3 defective sewer. l.. {. Chandler. he
said. had spent 81. 900 in filling ND his
lots there, but you could put Mount
Diablo down there and the water would
come TO the surface unless the city opened
q sewer from q TO K streets. "If this were
DONE" said Mr.. Mayo, Il will give the
city all my property down there if the
lots are not dried
The Mayor moved that the whole mat
ha refa 10 ha
and it was so ordered.

Health are: Lots and 2, Q and Il, Fifth
