Now that Sacramento is putting in
bituminized and asphalt streets, and
will presently construct many miles of
macadam streets, it will be we'll for the
city authorities to study the experience
CT Eastern street builders. There, ac-
cording to Paving and Municipal En-
gineering, a very reliable magazine, it
has been demonstrated that no tunnel
| ing under such pavements can be filled
III by horizontal work, no matter how
much ramming is done, and get re-
suits that will prevent the pavement
from settling sooner or later 1t is,
therefore, of the very highest impor-
tance that all cutting that can pos
! sibly be foreseen be made before a
street surface is laid. Mr.. WINERY, a
recognized authority on street work
says in a letter published in the mag
azine referred to that his long expert
| ence has convinced him that no tun-
neling under paved streets should be
permitted where the bore exceeds a
sIx-inch diameter Where cuts are
made for pipes the bore should never
be allowed to be any larger than is nee
essary to push the pipe through. He
| declares that all experience proves
that a large horizontal cut cannot be
fNed by horizontal work so as to pre-
vent settlement, and such subsidence
or the pavement as will ruin it, Even
where concrete foundation is used there
VIII be settlement. From this it would
seem that Sacramento's policy should
be for all new street work one that Will
prevent boring beneath the streets. 1t
would be better to have vertical cuts
made and new substructure and sur
face laid than to permit large bores
beneath the roadway. Recently bores
were made beneath J and K streets
for some distances. We shall watch
with interest whether the Eastern
statement proves true in those cases, as
we believe it will.

NON. COMPLIANCE WITH ELEC-
TION LAWS.

In another column in this mornings
Record Union will be found an interest
ing article on the failure of election
boards to comply with the plain in
structions of the law concerning the
count of ballots and the making Of re-
turns. It will be profitable reading,
since it is in the interest of every voter
to have the law providing for the
sacredness of his ballot strictly en-
forced Why election boards rarely
fulfill the obligations imposed upon
them is difficult of explanation.
1t may be said that they are not
given sufficient time to acquaint them
selves with their duties. But as TO
that their duties are so few and simiie
that the man of the commonest intelli-
gence can comprehend them in one
reading of the card of instructions
furnished every election board.
But it is said that among SO many
we must always expect to find few
negligent of duty and regardless of
their oaths. But we reply that the
liberties of the people should not be eX-
posed TO such risks; that there should
be some system adopted that will in
sure full and complete compliance with
the law on the part of election officials,
and that we have no reason whatever
for excusing any failure of duty where
duty is so simple and easy.
It is probable that the people at the
next election, when the question is sub
mitted, will decide in favor Of the in
PRODUCTION of voting machines. AS
suredly such exposes as are made in
our local columns this morning will go
Tar toward impelling them to that de-
cision. We are inclined to favor the
voting machine because its record IS
tnfallible and cannot be subjected TO
fraudulent manipulation. 1t is con-
ceded that the voting machine is in one
sense a reflection upon the honesty and
competency of our citizens composing
election boards However, there are
other considerations favoring the ma
Chine. and a chief one is speed in voting
and quickness in announcement of re-
turns, and these two counterbalance
any possible objections that may be
raised to them.
AS this subject of adopting the voting
machine is soon to be submitted to the
sctes of the electors of California, the ex-
pIoitation Of the errors and neglect con-
spicuous in the late city election in
Sacramento becomes of special value
Under the machine voting system there
is no possibility of failure by the in
strument to do what it is set to accom-
plish. It viii make a record when an
election clerk may refuse or neglect TO
do so. 1t will cast up totals absolutely
correct. It will fill blanks as com
nanded. 1t will not be possible for its
returns to be falsihed, because they
are indelbiy recorded. No fraudulent
ballots can be substituted for its ballot
announcements. The machine, there
fore, is to be favored.
IN the meanwhile. as it viii at best be
some years before the voting machine
viii be introduced, why cannot the
officers OF the cities and counties of the
State compel absolute compliance with
the law on the part Of election boards.
1t is possible by the exercise of firm
ness and by applying penalties.

the vault, and will he pay out the same
money received?
under his manual control it is out of his
possession, and is banking capital. If
he claims that he will have actual
physical possession of the identical
dimes, dollars, eagles and greenbacks
paid in, but will permit them to be
changed into other forms of represent
atives of value by others, and be subject
to checks, then he will consent to the
money being used as banking capital.
It is principle adopted and adhered to
in all municipalities that do not rent out
their coin, that the identical money
which comes into the hands of the official
custodian shall there remain until paid
cut, and shall be paid out in the same
perience it has been found dangerous to
permit anyone to substitute for actual
material which comes into his hands as
an official custodian, other material of
equal value.
This question Of the custody Of the
city's money has been a matter of con-
Germ and contention since the city was
founded. The deposits have been kept
in several banks, changing from one to
another, and always against a public
protest, based on sound business prin-
ciple. 1t is not, therefore, now any
question whatever of attack upon the
California State Bank no more than
upon the Sacramento Savings Bank, or
the Peoples Bank, or any other banking
institution, and it is an assault upon none
OF them. There is, in short, no reflection
upon banking interests in the matter
Any who so cOnstrues it must do so be-
cause Of a desire to have banking insti-
tutions enjoy whatever benefit resides in
having possession of the city money.
The whole matter is one of principle and
of obedience to the law, namely, that
the Treasurer shall have actual not con-
structive possession of the city money
It is in order, therefore, to say to the
Treasurer-electt that if he is entirely sin
cere in his published declaration that
until the city supplies him with vault
be Will keep the funds in a bank, that
it is his duty, and he so confesses it, to
demand that the city furnish him with
the means for safe-keeping of the
money solely in his actual possession
ard solely under his control VIII he
make that demand? That is the ques-
tion for him to now answer.
Incidental to this, let it be here stated
that as the sum in the treasury con-
stantly averages from 5000, 600 to $500, :
00G, a comparatively small safe, or iron
box, will always hold the money. The
sum is not by any means so bulky as
may be supposed. 1t can be kept, in
deed. in classified order, in a safe far
smaller than are many in use by corner
grocers. Now it is possible to rent room
for such a small safe in a vault until the
city shall erect City Hall It is not i'm
probable that the county will rent to
the city for time room in its fine vault
tor such a small safe as needed, and
even rent the City Treasurer desk room
IN the County Treasury, for which room
provision ought to be made at city cost
for the Treasurer
