Neither Supervisors Nor Sheriff Would
Pay 1t.
Franchise Granted to the Electric
Company of Folsom to Lay
Wires to the City.

The contest growing out of the recent
election for Trustees in Reclamation Dis
trict No. 535 came up again at the session
of the Supervisors yesterday. Messrs.
4. J. Bruner and Albert N. Johnson and
W. NJ. Sims, representing the two sides
to the controversy. consented that the
board should take no action in the premi-
ses, as it had been agreed TO have the con-
test settled in court.
OBNOXIOUS BRICK KILNs.
Supervisor Miller brought up the mat
ter of the complaints of residents i'll the
vicinity of Thirteenth and y streets re-
garding the alleged nuisance caused by
the burning Of bricks in that locality.
District Attorney Ryan advised the
board that il any person had been dam
aged by the smoke from the kilns and
could prove the same in court, he would
be entitled to redress; but he did not
think the Supervisors could order the re-
moyal OF the kilns as a nuisance.
A resolution offered by supervisor
CuEtis, to the effect that the owners of
the kilns be requested not to erect any
moro kilnS SO near to \ street, was
adopted.
a number Of claims against Reclama-
ton District No. 535 were ordered paid.
MILK FOR THE CHAINGANG.
At the afternoon session j. V. Sims of
the Riverside Dairy inquired about his
claim for milk, etc, furnished the chain
gang while dong work on u public road
III his neighborhood, which gave rise TO
some discussion. The bill was rejected
last month on motion of Supervisor
Jenkins.
When the matter came up, Jenkins
jumped on it with both feet, metaphOric-
ally speaking. He claimed that it was
charge against the Sheriff, if anyone, as
he is allowed pay for feeding the prison
ers.
Supervisor Curtis held that the Sheriff
had done his part in providing food for
the prisoners. and the milk was extra.
The county, he thought, should pay the
bill, which was only 50. He had himself
ing in his vicinity, but had not charged
for it, and even now if the board refused
to pay this bill he would pay it himself.
Chairman Morrison agreed with Jen-
kins that the charge was against the Sher-
i'll, if any one.
Mr.. Sims said he would not allow Mr..
Curtis to pay the bill. The supplies had
been ordered by officers III the employ of
the Supervisors. and the county should
pay it.
Supervisor Todd explained that the
board had a rule not TO pay bills for any
thing ordered without authority of that
body.
Mr. Sims then went over to the Sheriff's
Office, and the latter declined to pay it.
Returning to the board-room the dis
cussion was resumed, and warm pas
sage-at-arms ensued between Mr.. Sims
and Supervisor Jenkins, the latter insist
ing that he was actuated by motives Of
economy, and Mr.. Sims holding to the
contrary.
Mr.. jenkins, in the course OF his re-
marks, denied that he had, as stated in
some paper, declared the bill to be pill
fering" one.
The matter was dropped by Mr.. Sims
saying that he would make the county
present of the So.
ELECTRIC FRAN NCHISE.
L. T. Hatfield, attorney for the Sacra-
mento Electric Power and Light Com
pany. appeared before the board and
asked what action was to be taken in re-
gard to the proposed ordinance granting
the company franchise for right of way,
etc., for transmitting electric power from
Folsom to this city.
