STRIKING PRISONERS LOSE CREDITS.
Won't be SO Particular About Cog
giles Hereafter.
Various Matters Heard by the Super
visors Yesterday-The Road
at Isleton.

At the morning session of the Super
visors yesterday the resignation OF X.
W. Hansen as Constable of Georglana
Township was received and accepted
Supervisor Jenkins reported that the
Committee on Bitumen Contracts had
examined the work done on the Amer
ican River bridge. The Surveyor had
also examined and measured the work,
and it was found to be properly done
He moved that the bill of the Pacific
Paving Company be allowed land it
was so ordered.
Mr.. Jenkins also said the committee
had gone down and examined the
bridges built by Silas earle near New
Hope, and found the work thoroughly
well done. He moved that Carries claim
therefor be allowed, and it was so or
dered.
The other members of the board COM
plimented Mr.. Carle, saying that the
bridges were among the best that had
been built in the county, so far as lum-
ber and workmanship and adherence
to the specifications are concerned.
A communication was received from
DR.. Mckee of Elk Grove, stating that
luSIS was a case OI Scarlet lever
and that Health Officer EVerSon had
stated that he was going away and in
tended to tender his resignation to the
board. He therefore asked that the
board appoint a Health officer, in order
that the case might be quarantined.
Chairman Morrison said there must
be physician attending the case, and
the law compels such physician to
quarantine the house. He did not think
the board had power to appoint an
other Health officer till the resignation
OF Everson had been received and ac-
cepted.
George B. Hayford addressed the
board in relation to a part Of lot in
the block between K and L, Front and
Second streets. 1t is assessed at SO, 75O
and he had advised Mrs. Shaver, who
owns the property, when she bought 1T,
not to pay over $1,000 for it. 1t brings
in S124 per annum, which is not as
much as the tax amounts to. Taxes are
delinquent on it for five or six years, and
the owner is utterly unable to pay
them.
Chairman Morrison advised Mr.. Hay
ford to consult the District Attorney
and find out if there is any way out of
the difficulty and report to the board.
Mr. Wise appeared in relation to fix
ing road in the town of Isleton. There
is a clump of small oaks in the road
the cost altogether will be about SO.
Supervisor Jenkins moved that Mr.
Wise be authorized to do the work at
a cost not to exceed S75, and it was so
ordered.
A communication was read from JUS
tice of the Peace George F. Wilson of
Folsom, asking for a set of statutes
and codes for his office, there being
none on hand when he took the place.
The Chairman instructed the Clerk
to ascertain whether or not the former
Justice has a set of codes belonging to
the county.
AT the afternoon session Sheriff John
son sent to the board list of prisoners
in the County Jail who had complied
with the rules of that institution and
were entitlid to credits. Included in
the list, but marked, were the names of
those who some weeks ago refused to
work at rock breaking unless provided
with goggles to protect their eyes.
Chairman Morrison said he was op
posed to allowing credits to any pris-
oner who refused to obey the rules of
the prison, and in this he was supported
by Supervisors Todd, jenkins and Dre-
man.
It was decided by the unanimous vote
of the board to refuse credits to those
prisoners who struck on the google
proposition.
Supervisor Todd remarked that
never a word had been said about eye
protectors before the prisoners struck.
and that as soon as he was informed
that accidents had happened through
the lack Of goggles he ordered some
sent to the Jail.
Attorney w. A Gett who appears to
represent almost every one of the rich
reclamation districts in the county, ap-
peared before the board on behalf of
Sol Runyon. J. NJ. Gleason, J. S. Foster,
p. H. McGrath and other landowners
in the upper end of Andrus Island, who
wish the Supervisors TO repair the main
roadway there along the river
Mr.. Gett said that as it now is there
are several residents who are practically
shut out-or rather shut in-by the lack
of road facilities He urged the board
to delegate Supervisor Jenkins, in
whose district it is, to visit the island
and assure himself that the demand for
a road is just one.
Mr. Jenkins preferred to have the
Road Committee go down, and that
Chairman Morrison go along too, and
1t was so decided.
To-day the members of the board will
go to Folsom on a visit of inspection
as there are some streets there that
need attention. They viii also inspect
the new bridge over Willew Greek.
Accordingly a recess was taken until
Friday morning
