the ssBee" Souvenir as Adver-
tIsing Literature.

not allow their claims, ne would pay
them out of his own pocket.
All the members of the board said the
Sheriff did properly in appointing the
deputies, and the only question about
the claims was the action of the District
Attorney in sending the claims back to
the board..without his signature. The Dis
trict Attorney said he did not know any
thing about the claims, and knew of no
law empowering the Sheriff to employ
deputies promiscuously.
The board instructed the various COM
mittees TO take the claims in hand and
sign them, and they will then be al
lowed.
On motion of Supervisor Jenkins the
County Surveyor was instructed 10 make
an estimate of the expense OF construct
ing road from Freeport to Eagle Point
on the Sacramento River.
FOR SCHOOL TAXES.
A communication was read from 0. w.
Erlewine, Secretary of the City Board OF
Education, in which it was stated that the
amount required for the support OF gram
mar, primary and kindergarten Schools
for the year 1895, and for which tax is
to be levied, is $42, 179. The communica-
ton was referred TO the Educational Com
mittee.
A deed for right of way for road on
the land of w. II. Criswell, on the Rancho
Rio de los Americanos, was read ana ac-
cepted.
WANTS HER PAY.
A lady named Eugenia K. Holmes ap-
peared before the board and stated that
some time ago she made an agreement
with number of hop-growers in the
county to advertise the hop industry by
''write-up'' in the San Francisco IT0OeteT.
The article appeared in a later edition OF
the paper, and the lady said that when
she went to the hop-growers for compen-
sation for writing the article they refused
to make good their agreement. AS the
article referred TO is an advertisement OF
the county, she thought the Board OF
Supervisors should compensate her Tor
the work.
The board did not think she had any
just claim against the county, and as no
order was given by any member of the
board for the publication of the article,
she was told she would have TO get her
pay from the hop-growers who had
agreed to pay her for the work.
SALOON BONDS.
The following saloon bonds were ap-
proved: Elliott & Haggerty. 500 K street;
Gerber Bros, AZ Is street; Jacob Frees,
Freeport road; l.. Derr. Upper Stockton
road; II. w. Woods, l12l Front street;
r. @. Mayer. 700 * street.
WANTS PAY FOR TILES.
James Carlaw of Carlaw Bros. granite
dealers, appeared before the board and
wanted to know what disposition was to
be made of the firms claim Of $56 for TIL
ing furnished John McCann, who re-
paired the tile flooring at the entrance TO
the Courthouse. Carlaw said McCann
came to him with card bearing the name
of Supervisor Jenkins, Chairman of the
Committee of County Buildings, and OBJ
tanned number of tiles which McCann
said were to be used in the work.
Jenkins said he did not give McCann
an order to get the material, and Carlaw
should look to him for the money. The
Supervisor said that if Carlaw delivered
the tiles for use of the county the latter
should be paid, but under the circum-
stances Jenkins said he did not see that
Carlaw had a just claim against the
county.
Jenkins was instructed to count the
tiles with Carlaw which were used in the
work and report the number to the board,
when decisive action will be taken on the
claim.
ADVERTISING LITERATURE.
communication from E. j. Gregory,
President of the State Board of Trade,
was read in which Mr.. Gregory states
that learning that the Supervisors have
under consideration the matter of pro-
viding for the publication OF new issue
OF the Bee souvenir, he is pleased to take
advantage of the opportunity to express
his approval of such course. While it Is
3 selt-evident fact, the communication
states, that Sacramento County stands
foremost in the points of soil, climatic
and commercial advantage, it is also
fact that those points have been made
manifest mainly through the display aud
distribution of its products. AS a result,
such advertisement does not afford the
direct benefit that would otherwise accrue
through the instrumentality OF compre-
hensive and elaborate literature of the
class represented in the publication men
toned. Mr.. Gregory says he knows of
no work that would meet the require
ments of the time more completely than
the souvenir.
Sacramento County maintains an
elaborate exhibit in the rooms of the
State Board of Trade, Mr.. Gregory
further states in his communication, and
the exhibit, it is safe to say, is viewed by
an average of fully 200 strangers each day.
The excellence OF the fruit cereals, ETC.,
cause universal expressions of commen-
dation and innumerable inquiries rela-
tive to the price and quality of lands,
topography of the county, transportation
facilities, climatic influences, etc. The
employees of the board find it impossible
to cover ali the points OF information de-
sired, on account of the fact that the 9x-
hibit is hot provided with literature of
any kind. Sacramento County'S eX-
hibit should by all means be provided
with literature of the character which
Will DoSb S6ENS Lu0 puIp pOS5 VI appealing
to the evidence and interest of the visitor.
The State Board OF Trade has officially
decided that the souvenir has earned its
Endorsement and recommendation TO the
Board of Supervisors.
V. s. McClatchy of the Bee, George
NJ. Mott and George B. Katzenstein
were in attendance at the meeting and
addressed the board in reference TO the
proposition to subsidize the souvenirs.
Mr.. McClatehy said the supply of souven-
irs had become exhausted, and the Bee
had decided to give the county the use of
the plates and engravlngs, and the bene-
fit of the preliminary labor and expense,
if it would meet the expense of printing
and binding g second edition for gratui-
tous distribution. Mr.. McClatchy said
that, on the suggestion of w. IL, Mills.
he went before the State Board of Acri-
culture in relation 10 the proposition.
That board had agreed to defray the ex-
pense of photographing and illustrating
the State Fair as supplement to the SOU
venir if the county took charge of the
matter and desired the edition.
George NJ. Mott of II. s. Crocker 81 Co,
said the cost of the first edition was about
So per copy, and the cost for white paper,
printing, composition and binding was
a little over seventy-five cents per copy.
1t would cost a little less to print a new
edition, as some of the pages were in
plates, engravings and services, aud
Crocker & Co. would print an edition of
5000 copies for $1,000, the copies to be at
the disposal of the Board of Supervisors
If the board would subscribe s., 900 the
firm would print 5000 copies. TO be sold
attwenty-five cents per copy, and the bal
ance of the bill would be taken out of the
sales.
