Deputies Jones and Cohn to be Paid

Help for Assessor Irvine and C1erh
Hamilton-Concernin Country
Road Taxes.

AT the afternoon session of the Board
OF Supervisors yesterday w. r. McQuaid
presented proposition from the San
Francisco Examiner to print Worlds
Fair edition of 100000 and give Sacra-
mento County full-page notice, with a
guarantee to distribute the edition prop
erly.
w. L. Bryant, representing the Chroni-
Gle, made the same proposition that was
made to the City Trustees at recent
meeting, to give full-page of a like edi-
ton for 81, 200.
Supervisor Todd said that, aside from
the lack of money in the treasury, he
thought that if there was any money to
give for such purpose it would be bet
ter expended in fostering home indus
tries, as we had good papers here also.
Supervisor Curtis did not wish TO take
action on the subject without consulting
his constituents.
On motion of Supervisor Todd the APP
pllcation was received, placed on file, and
the matter deferred for further considera-
ton.
ASSISTANT ASSESSORS.
Assessor Irvine asked the board to
allow him five new deputies to enable
him to complete the county assessment.
The season, he said, had been such that
his deputies in the field had unavoidably
fallen behind in their work and further
help had become necessary. He could
get good men for 500 per month. He
read the section of the code which author
lied the board to appoint the deputies,
and said that the Attorney General
| thought Assessors came under it and not
under the Fresno decision.
The application opened long discus
sion. supervisor Curtis said he had paid
taxes here Tor forty-one years and hoped
to do so for many years longer, and was
willing always to help the officers of the
county to perform their duties properly.
be therefore moved the Assessor be al
lowed the deputies asked for, at not more
than 500 each per month, for four
months. 1t was SO ordered, the Chair
man not voting.
TROUBLE WITH ROAD TAXES.
Deputy Assessor Stephenson informed
the board that he was unable to collect
large number of road taxes in his dis
tr1ct, for the reason that the ranchers
rented their places to Cinnamon and re-
fused to help him in making his collec-
lions unless they could receive some as
| surance from the board that their claims
Tor road work in keeping up their roads
would be paid. If they had such guaran-
tee they would make their men pay,
| otherwise they would not interfere.
There was nothing the Assessor could
! garnishee, and he was powerless.
| Superior Jenkins said that they could
not work out their road tax. The law did
not allow 1t. Thereason they had no money
Ior their CLAIMS wasAthat they had ex-
hausted their funds. The Assessor could
tell them to keep track of their men and
make them pay their tax, and then
there would be money to pay their claims,
and ne would at the proper time author
ize them to do work on their roads, for
which they would be paid.
WILL GET THEIR PAY.
Supervisor Todd introduced two reso-
lutions providing for tire payment of the
claims of special counsel j. Charles Jones
and Deputy Recorder r. 7. Cohn for the
month OF February, the claims to be
signed by Supervisor Jenkins, as the
Chairman had refused to do so.
The resolutions were passed by the
votes OF Todd, Miller and Curtis, the
| Chairman and Jenkins declining to vote.
HAMILTON GETS A DEPUTY.
County Clerk Hamilton said the Asses
| sor, Auditor and District Attorney had
all been granted assistance in their of
| fees, and he needed assistance in his
office as badly as either of the others, and
| perhaps more so. He had been modest
in asking for it, but thought he was en-
titled to help as well as the others.
Chairman Morrison said he thought the
County Clerk needed assistance fully as
much as any other county officer, but he
could see no law which authorized him
to vote to give him another deputy, and
he could not do so. He had no feeling
whatever against the Deputy District At
torney nor Deputy Recorder, and hoped
they would not feel that he had.
The board allowed the County Clerk
assistance to index the old records, at a
salary not to exceed 500 month.

The petition of n. P. Guldager for per
mission to keep a saloon at $50 o street

NJ. Seymour and E. Hartman to paw
them 5 per cent. of all moneys collected
