ORDINANCE DIsAPPRovED.
To the Board Of Trustees: / herewith
transmit to your honorable body, with
my disproval indorsed thereon, Ordin-
ance No. =, entitled, San ordinance to
amend Section Ii of ordinance No.
13 of the City of Sacramento, en-
revising and codifying the ordi-
nances of the City OF Sacramento, passed
June u, 1872. relating to license for livery
or sale stable" My reasons for disap-
proving this ordinance are as follows:
The title of the ordinance reads that
Section 13 of Ordinance No. lis amended,
while the body of the ordinance amends
Section Ii of Ordinance No. II.
AS it is quite essential that the title and
the body of an sordinance should CORE
spond, / deem it advisable TO have this
error corrected before the ordinance be-
comes q law.
la other respects the ordinance as pre-
sented is acceptable to me. Respectfully
submitted, b. u. STEINMAN, Mayor.
Bragg introduced an ordinance amend
ed in accordance with the Mayors sug-
gestion, and 1t was passed.
Corporation Counsel Devlin reported

Miller and Burr on their street bonds, as

payable to the order Of the city.
SIXTH STREET SUIT.
He also asked for instructions as to the
suit which he had been instructed to
bring against the railroad company for
the removal of the alleged distractions
on Sixth street. He was instructed first
TO ascertain the rights of the railroad un-
der their franchise from the city, and
then to bring suit to remove whatever
the company was not entitled to keep
there.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Leonard reported that the Fire Depart
ment Committee wished further time in
which 10 report on some matters re-
ferred to it. He also stated that the Po-
lice Committee had investigated the
charges against Officer Warner, but there
weresome circumstances that they wished
to toinvestigate further. Both committees
were granted further time.
Kent stated that he had examined the
Pondmaster's bill and found it all right.
and recommended that it be paid if there
isimoney sufficient in the proper fund,
Davis, of the Water Committee, read a
list of water-takers who had been unable
TO pay their water rates, and TO whom
the committee had been lenient during
the past nine months. Most have paid and
two were destitute and unable to do so.
He moved that the report and action of
the commiLtee be approved by the board
which was done.
on motion of Devine the $l0S collected
by Corporation Counsel DEVON was
turned over to the Collector to be placed
In the street fund.
Leonard moved that the Clerk be in
structed to notify the gentlemen who
have been selected as experts to pass on
the sewerage plans of the time and place
of meeting of the Sewerage Committee.
Leonard named w. w. Waggoner,
Bragg named ID. Faulkner and Pennish
named James Seadler. The motion was
then carried.
Leonard then said he thought that a
reasonable sum should be agreed on as
compensation to the gentlemen for their
time and trouble.
Tozer said the matter had been placed
in the hands of the committee, who
should fix the rate.
Leonard said he had been authorized
once before to engage an expert, and the
board had cut down the amount from
500 to S25s
Lawton bragg in the chair said that
the gentlemen named are professional
men and their time has stated value.
lie thought that their time in passing
upon these plans should not be limited
and the price should be fixed after the
work was done. He did not think the
board would be unjust to them. He
thought the board had not been Just in
the matter spoken of by Leonard and its
action should be rectifed, ii it had not
already been done.s
Leonard said it had not been rectlfed,
nor had Professor Rising or Mr.. Ray
been paid for analyzing the clear water.
Kent said there are many delinquent
water-takers in the town. If the Col
lector would accept So week, or what
ever they could pay weekly till the bill
was paid, he thought it would be better.
He therefore moved that the board in
struct the Collector to take whatever was
offered to him in such cases, and give a
receipt therefor.
The board voted unanimously to so in
struct the Collector.
Kent wanted to know whether police
man was a policeman only while on his
beat. He wanted one to-day TO attend TO
some business for him, and was told that
it was not on his beat.
Deyine said he was tired of listening to
stories of policemen knocking down peo-
pie at the Park. He did not think they
