Revoked.
The Board of City Trustees held their
weekly meeting last night, Trustees
Lawton, Wachhorst, Kent, Davis, De-
vine, Bragg, Leonard, Tozer and Pennish
being present.
The following communications were
received from the Mayor:
TENTH STREET IMPROVEMENT.
To the Board of Trustees: Being in
formed that at your last meeting an order
was made postponing for one month
further progress in the Improvement OF
Tenth street, from to q streets, deem
it advisable to call your attention TO the
fact that such an extension OF time Will
probably invalidate al of the proceed
ings thus far taken and compel the city 10
pay the expenses thus far incurred,
which [ am informed now amount nearly
to the sum of 500.
EEAs you doubtless know, the time for re-
monstrance by the property-owner
along this street has gone by, and no re-
monstrances had been filed; conse-
quently the property-owners could not
complain if the work was proceeded with
according TO law.
The street law does not provide for an
extension of time after the work is
ordered done. II the work is abandoned
as stated above, the city will be COM
PEELED to pay the bills thus far incurred.
] am informed that bids are TO be opened
at your meeting this evening for this
work.
therefore suggest that your former
action giving the extension of time be re-
scinded and that the work be proceeded
with according to law.
/ also recommend that in the future
whenever a proper case comes before
your board for granting an extension,
that as a condition precedent to the grant
ing of the extension the property owners
asking for the same pay all charges in-
Cured to that time. Respectfully sub
mitted, b. U. STEINMAN, Mayor.
CITY PHYSICIANS SUPPLIES.
10 the Board of Trustees The claim
of NJ. S. Hammer and others for drugs
and supplies furnished to City Physician
Fowler, which were submitted by your
Finance Committee to me, have received
My consideration, and l therefore beg
leave TO report as follows:
The bills purport to be for drugs and
supplies furnished to the City Dispen-
sary, but at the present time there is no
City Dispensary.
Section lS4 of the charter gives author
ity for the establishment Of City Dis
pensary, and reads as follows:
Section l84. The Board of Health, with
the consent OF the Board of Trustees, may
establish and maintain City Dispensary
and Receiving Hospital, with all proper
appliances and appurtenances, for the re-
lief of the INDECENT sick of the City of
Sacramento. The Board of Health may
also provide for necessary attendants for
such poor applicants who are sick or
wounded, and who cannot be immedi
ately removed to the County Hospital
without endangering their dives. Said
dispensary shall be the office of the City
Physician and the Board of Health"
The present building used by the City
Physician belongs to the county, and was
used as dispensary under the old law,
by the provisions of which the salary of
the City Physician and all drugs and
supplies were paid for out of the County
Treasury. If the city is compelled TO
purchase these drugs and supplies for
the use of the City Physician, deem it
advisable to recommend that your board
cause list of the supplies and materials
to be made, and advertise for bids there
for. 1t will certainly be economical for
the city to ask for bids upon these sup
plies. and deal if possible with wholesale
houses
AS the City Physician has ordered and
used these drugs, think it nothing but
just that the claimants should be paid.
No other bills, in my judgment, should
be contracted until bids are received and
let as above recommended.
b. Y. STEINMAN, Mayor.
: REPAIRING TENTH STREET.
To the Board of Trustees: I beg leave
to report to your honorable board that
Superintendent of Streets Murray and
myself have been in correspondence with
the California Petroleum and Asphalt
Company in reference to repairing the
pavement on Tenth street, from L to n
streets
When the street was accepted, this COM
pany, 1t being the contractor, furnished a
bond TO keep the street in repair. AS the
result Of our correspondence, | am in
formed that the manager of this company
will be here Tomorrow 10 consult with
reference to putting the street in proper
repair and making the necessary contract
therefor with the City Street Improve
ment Company, which is now improving
street. Respectfully submitted,
b. y. STEINMAN, Mayor.
BELONGS TO THE RECORDS.
To the Board of Trustees: Understand
ing that permission was given by your
board at your meeting held May 18th, for
the withdrawal OF the claim of M. B..
Horn, which had been vetoed by me and
returned to you at that meeting. I desire
to enter my protest against your board or
any officer permitting any official docu-
ment to be withdrawn from its proper
office.
The claim referred to has indorsed on
it the original veto of Auditor Young,
and also the Endorsement of the passage
of the same over his veto by your board,
and finally the last veto by me. The
claim itself presents the only record of
these acts, and therefore must be pre-
served. The only recourse for the claim
ant, based upon that claim, is to sue the
city.
therefore request that you take the
necessary steps to have the claim above
referred to returned and kept with the
records of the city. Respectfully SUBJ
mitted, b. U. STEINMAN, Mayor.
EX-MAYoR GREEN'S CEMETERY LOT.
Devine stated that ex- Mayor Green
some time ago purchased lot in the
City Cemetery, which he had conveyed
to the State with the understanding that
another lot be given him in its place by
the city. Removed that if the Mayor is
satisfied that he and the Clerk be au-
thorized TO sign deed for the lot. 1t was
so ordered.
COAL FOR THE WATER WORKS.
Davis presented resolution providing
that as the contract for coal 10 the Water
Works had expired, it was necessary to
