THE ARMY WILL GO.
The Mayor stated to the board that the
portion of the Industrial Army under
Barker had moved down to Sutterville.
He had hoped to send them to San Fran
cisco on the boat, but had been unable to
do so. He had telegraphed to Mr.. Towne
and Mr.. Fillmore. and both had answered
that it was impossible to take them for
less than the regular fare. General Bark er
had stated that If S400 or $500 could be
given them, with which to buy food, the
army would be willing to walk to San
Francisco. He had talked to some of his
friends and they had agreed to raise part
General Barker stated that he had,
with the Mayor, done his best to secure
transportation, but failed. He had talk ed
with his men, and they had agreed TO go
Immediately if the rations were furnished
and would return to Sacramento no more.
The Mayor asked if the board was
willing to appropriate $3.50 TO buy rations
for them on the way.
The board appropriated $3.50, subject to
the Mayors order. Leonard voted no,
saying that he had before stated that he
would vote no more money for the pur-
pose.
Auditor Young said he would like the
Trustees to inform him by what authority
they had appropriated the money for this
purpose. He had drawn the other war
rant for the first army, and was willing
TO take the responsibility of that one, but
he would like to know more before he
drew this one.
This army had come here after being
warned not to, and we have plenty of our
own poor people, who pay large por-
tion of the taxes and complain that they
cannot get work. A number of these
men have already taken their places and
are working here to their detriment. If
we help these people wewill have another
army on our hands. We cannot 60 on
this way.
The board and Mayor all said that un-
der no circumstances would they consent
to appropriate anything for those who
may cOIne here in the future, and the
Auditor finally consented TO draw the
warrant Immediately and the Mayor
undertook TO get the money tonight, SO
that the army could start at sunrise. He
will take the remaining $3.50 to Stockton
and meet the army there and give it to
them.
