The Letter IS" in One of the
Bills Leads to Its
Killing.
FATE OF THE sTREETCAR BILL
The Executive May Pocket 1t
Though a Strong Fight Was
Made for 1t.


Assembly and Senate, that have been SUBJ
mitted for his signature are finished. OF
the appropriation bills, including the
general appropriation, there will be about
eight that will receive his signature and
become laws. Some will be vetoed, and
seventy or eighty-perhaps more-will be
pocketed and, like the county government
bill, will become laws two years from the
present time.
On Friday the Governor intends to
leave for Stockton, where, he declares, he
will "take to the tules" to escape all inter-
course with the world at large, and thus
enjoy a well-deserved rest. After his re-
turn, he says, he will personally visit all
public institutions throughout the State
prisons, insane asylums, etc. There have
been several officials connected with these
same institutions in Sacramento to-day,
presumably for the purpose of ex-
planning the purchase of quail, turkey,
chicken; bird, ETC., which they have here
tofore charged up to the State, but which
the Board of Examiners has given notif-
cation must cease. Warden Aull is here.
1t is understood that he has pet measure
providing for the purchase of 500 acres of
adjoining land to the prison grounds for
farming purposes. This land is covered
with rocks, scrub brush and granite crop
pings. A few years ago it could be pur-
chased for S. per acre. Now that it is de-
sired by the State it will probably cost at
least 500 per acre.
In speaking of some of the peculiar
bills which passed through the last Legis-
lature the Governor referred to one as a
sample instance.
THE BILL" he said, "added section to
the Penal Code making it a misdemeanor
to poison any domestic animal. 1 thought
this was a pretty good thing and should
become law, when CHANGED to think of
a statute that made the same offense a
felony.
~ looked it up and found it was so de-
clared. That bill will be pocketed. The
author of the bill evidently had some
grudge against the existing law, and, fear
ing that a repeating act would not meet
with approval, introduced it in form that
would have the same effect and yet be sure
to pass
