Mrs. Murray Of Mormon Islands Wants
Pay for a Road-The Levee
Road Below Freeport.

The Board of Supervisors met yester-
day, Miller. Curtis. Todd and Jenkins
being present, and Chairman Morrison
presiding.
Mrs. Della Murray appeared before the
board and asked that she be compensated
Tor changing the county road on her
land. half-mile east of Mormon Island.
The board was unanimous in the opin-
ion that Mrs. Murray was fully compeu-
sated by the change she desired. The
road had crossed her land and the board
gave her permission to construct another
one around it.
Chairman Morrison said Mrs. Murray
was benefited by the change and as she
had on a previous occasion consented TO
make the change without charging the
county for the work, she should not ex-
pect the county to foot the bill.
Mrs. Murray's claim is $l3S, which
sum she said she had to pay herself. The
matter was taken under advisement.
The bond of ID. +. Hoover as Pound
master of Sutter Township, was read and
approved.
Jacob Breeder and John Studarus ad-
dressed the board in reference to the
amount allowed land owners on the new
som. The board at a previous session
adopted a resolution TO pay the land
owners an amount equal TO the assessed
valuation of their land per acre for
damages sustained by the road running
| through their property.
Breeder said he did not think that was
enough. The board should allow him
500 per acre-the sum he paid for each
acre of MS land. The board had allowed
him $40 per acre.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.
At the afternoon session Supervisor
Curtis moved that the District Attorney
be directed to commence suit against
George Hanlon for the right of way over
MS land for road leading from the Jack
son road 10 the Placerville road
The motion prevailed by a unanimous
vote.
Deeds were received from G. w. Scrib-
ner, David Strancn, a. g. Goldberg,
Jacob Breeder, 7. NJ. Robinson, l.. Wait X
Sons, Jacob ScheideI, '. 5. Strauch.
David Coons, s. II. Coons, Jeanette,
Catherine and Margaret Wier were re-
ceiyed for rights OF way along the said
road. Such as were complete were ac-
cepted.
Sheriff O'Nel reported the names of a
number OF prisoners for whom credits
were asked, and the same were allowed.
County Surveyor Winn submitted the
| following report of his survey and exaul-
iuatiOn of the road below Freeport and
the proposed improvement thereof. but it
was not taken up Tor consideration yes
terday:
First-Commencing at the upper line of
George Hacks land, and thence on top OF
the levee down stream to the lower line
| of Mrs. Downer's land, setting stakes
every 100 feet; ii, 725 feet.
Second-Ihen down TO the upper line
of Mrs. Flynn's land, setting stakes
every 100 feet e, lis feet; total distance,
| 16, S43 feet.
| took levels and crOss-sections for the
entire distance, and find that 10 make
the road and levee 20 feet wide on top,
with a TO l slope on the outside and
| = TO l slope on the insIde-two feet
above high water mark - would take
| Il, 25S 26-l00 cubic yards of filings.
10 fill with dredger would cost about
| 81 cents per yard, or S4,63l IS.
For cutting brush and trees from the
bank and leveling Off to make the road,
would cost, at a rough estimate, about
3! cents more, or s., 494 03, making a total
| of 81, l25 81,
Accompanying the report were profile
and cross-section diagrams.
| The remainder of the afternoon was de-
voted tc auditing claims against the
| county. Chairman Morrison's eyes
| opened wide when he struck three claims
sent in by Justice McMahon aggregating
some $40. The charges grew out OF the
recent trials OF peace disturbers in that
suburban village and of gang of hobos
arrested near Sutterville.
| There was no way out of it, and the de-
mand was allowed. The board then
| took recess until 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
