MINOR MATTERS.
| To the Board Of Trustees / herewith
return to you with my approval Endorsed
thereon, the bill of John Beaton for Sl72
for services as inspector of the work on
| X street.
| In a message to your board which was
read April I'D, a request was made that
you create the position of special police
man for the Capital Grammar School, the
idea being to appoint the janltor to that
position. An error was made in the name
of the school; it should have been the
Sacramento Grammar School. | there
fore ask that your board correct the orlgl-
nal message and create the position as re-
quested.
At the present time d. B. Plummer,
who is the watchman for the Crocker Art
Gallery, is also special policeman for that
locality. AS ii is necessary that the posi-
ton OF special policeman for this locality
should be created before appointing, |
| therefore recommend that your board
create such position, as it is convenient
Tor the watchman to be vested with the
authority of a special policeman.
b. U. STEINMAN, Mayor.
AN APPEAL FOR HELP.
L. B. Isham addressed the board, say
ing that he had just been defeated for the
position of policeman and asking it to
provide employment for him, otherwise
he should be in the same position as the
Industrial Army.
The President declined 10 listen further,
and ordered the Clerk to 60 on with the
reading of the ordinance prohibiting
bakers from delivering their bread on
Sundays.
THE BAKERS.
The ordinance was then read, and A. l..
Hart addressed the board at some length
on behalf OF the bakers, saying that he
asked for it IL behalf of the men, who
asked for one days rest out of seven.
He thought that the board snould pass it
unanimously. He believed that it would
make the men more contented with the
Government and the laws If what they
believed were their rights were granted
to them.
Leonard moved to postpone the matter
indefinitely, as he believed it to be special
legislation in favor OF one class. II the
men do not want to work Oh Sunday they
do not need to. They can get together
and determine not to do so. lie was
brought up III the East, where the street
cars do not run on Sunday nor the bakers
or other trades people deliver their stuff,
but il was not the style here. He was op-
posed to special legislation.
Davis was also opposed to special legls-
lation.
The ordinance was indefinitely post
poned without dissenting vote.
WATER MAINS.
a resolution was introduced by Davis
to lay I4-inch water main across Second
street, at the.intersection of L. with gate,
and intersection of main at Second and
l streets. 1t would, he explained, OBJ
viate the necessity of taking up the old
main on Second street. and Tx it so that
when ii gives out the street will not have
to be torn up after being improved.
The resolution was adopted.
SECoND-srREEr PAVEMENT.
The Committee on Streets reported that
the Pacific Paving Company's bid was
$40 50 lower than the others.
Davis wanted to know if the company
L
cisco. II So he would prefer to take the
next higher bid. He had rather give the
work to a Sacramento man, who would
employ homeworkers.
Tozer said the lowest bid foots up 81, 900
per block, and * street cost only IS, 900.
He moved that all bids be rejected, and it
was so ordered.
The Clerk was then instructed to adj
vertise for new bids.
CONTRACT AWARDED.
Several bids were received for improv-
and II streets, and B. Labs being the
lowest bidder, the contract was awarded
to him.
CLEAR WATER.
The reports of Professor Rising and e.
+. Ray were taken up, and it was pro-
posed that action be postponed to a spec
ial session, to be held on Saturday even
ing. 1t was decided TO hold an executive
session on that night
FRATT'S PROPERTY.
L. c. Hart appeared before the board on
behalf OF L. w. Fratt, with relation to
the asessessment of his building on J
street, between Third and Fourth. He
stated the amounts for which that and
other property is assessed and claimed
that Mr., tratts property should either
be lowered or the other property raised.
President LaWton stated that the taxes
were now due. and Eratt wished to be al
lowed to pay in proportion to the rest.
The matter was referred to the Finance
Committee, to report next week.
