VICIOUS STATEMENTS.
UNPLEASANT REFLECTIONS BY
THE SACRAMENTO BEE.
Health Onncer Powers Receives n Com
munioation From the State Board
Of Health About tho Matter.
His Vigorous Reply.

The Sacra mento Bee has been indulg-
ing in some viciously inaccurate state
msnts about the reports to the state
board OF health by our city health de-
partment, az we'll as reports from other
counties in the state.
DR.. Powers, health officer, has received
Q mmunication from ]. R. Lane, sec-
retary OF the state board of health, with
reference to the matter, the substance
of which lie as follows:
A portion Of the Sacramento local
press is calling into question the value
and reliability OF the reports furnished
the state board of health by local boards
of health and health officers. and holds
that the figures of the United States
census Of 1890 should be given, instead
OF the estimates by the local boards OF
the population OF their respective cities.
q The United States census of 1890
gives Los Angeles population of 60, 400
your reports to the state board of health
show your estimate to be $1,000. Last
February the estimate was 10000. Can
this fuctuation be accounted for in any
other manner than by simple error +?
Please state If, in the opinion OF your
local board. the sentiment of your peo-
pie and the judgment of your local
press, you are justified in estimating
your population above or below the fg-
ures shown by the latest United States
cenB1s reports. State further how you
arrive at this conclusion.
would like your opinion as to wheth-
or the secretary of the state board of
health woold be warranted in setting
aside an estimate OF population made
by you in your official capacity, and SUBJ
Rtituting the United States census re-.
port of 1890.
DR.. Powers was somewhat taken aback
by the statements in the letter, and
sent reply by return mail to Mr.. Lane.
In it he said:
I'm reply to your letter received this
morning in regard to the estimated
population of this city as given in our
monthly report, | will say that our es-
timate has been uniform and without
fiuctuation, as you can sec for yourself
by referring to our monthly repoi to
filed in your Office. In evidence I in
close the report for the month in ques-
ton by the newspaper.)
1.-The estimate OF $4,000 in population
haa been based upon the United States
census of 1890, plus tho increase In
population as shown by the number OF
buildings constructed and occupied
SINCE 1890, the increased number oi
voters as shown by the great register
from 1890 to 1892, and the increase Of
the number Of children Of school age as
shown by the school census for the
present year. a
I'VE are satisfied that our estimate is
correct, and any change would work an
injustice to us. The city officials who
have knowledge OF the population OF
the city consider our estimate to be the
lowest possible in reason"

explained that the board had "A contract

long as the board desired e.
Mr.. Gaines spoke OF the manner In
which the body agreed % allow this agree
ment 20 be terminab)e at the pleasure OF
the board. lie said that the action was
hasty and informal, and that upon an
appropriation the ayes and nays had to
be taken.
Mr.. Corbin. the acting president, stated
that he was In the chair when that action
was taken, and that he did not want
Mr.. Gaines 10 cast an imputation either
upon the Chair or the body by saying
that he did business In hasty and in
formal manner. After a great deal or
discussion upon the matter. the Chair
decided that the contract was monthly
one. and would so on until a motion was
agreed upon 10 stop II.
MIR. Gaines refused 20 make such n
motion. but offered that the report OF
Mr. Lyman be not hidden away in the

Mr. Gaines. Chairman OF the joint Com
mittee on Outlying Agricultural stations
submitted the report OF that body. lt
suggested the establishment OF three SUD-
experimental stations-one In Piedmont,
one I'm Tidewater. and one In Southside
Virginia The paper urged the adoption OF
one OF these stations In SOuthside Nir-
ejnia M once. The reason for this is that
the SOuthside Is the greatest tobacco sec
ton In the state. and that the cultivation
OF the weed is foremost In the agricultu-
raj interests IN Virginia. The paper pro-
vided for the procuring Of land, the cree
ton OF buildings, the purchasing OF I'M
PIGMENTS ana teams TO properly equip
such a station.
