vious councils many times vas settled
in short order upon a recommendation
from the finance committee. The
committee recommended that Stephen
G. Foster be employed to translate the
old Spanish records or archives of the

attorney was called in and explained
that the first Eve volumes Of the archives
are all written in Spanish. and ere very
valuable and oftentimes necessary to the
city in law suits and otherwise.
Mr.. Nickell moved that the matter be
referred to the incoming council, as that
body will have to rustic for funds, and
should not bs saddled with this expense.
This motion was Loaf and the recon-
mendation of the committee adopted.
Mr.. Foster, who will translate these

fearful that tho interest of the Fresno

OF the Monterey road, Gays the Fresno
Expositor. 1t is proper here and now
to say that the people of Fresno are not
going to BIO lukewRrm toward the road
to Monterey. nor are they going to with
hold any measure of encouragement they
have thus far extended to that enter
prise. Fresno wants that road and will
do all that is in her power to promote
its success. Fresno 6lso wants other
roads, and the proposed line to Los An
geles would, in the opinion OF our most
sagacious business mon, be the means
of attracting to our natural resources
the attention OF the class OF people
who arc anxioua to grow oranges, lem.
ona and other citrus fruits, for which
the fooshill region OF these counties is 30
admirably adapted. There 10 no danger
OF tho binding OF too many railroads
through this fertile valley, and none
that are now projected will have less
discouraging effect on the Monterey ems
terprise than the one which has during
the last 10 days caused so much COM
mont in the newspapers. Fresno has
need Of the road to Monterey and stands
ready to give it all aid that can reason
ably be expected.
The Stockton Mail very accurately
represents the fselings OF the people of
the San Joaquin valley toward the Traf-
tic associa!ion and the eiluriapism OF
San Francisco business men who are
supposed to be back of that organizs-
tion's abortive effort to build road
into this valley, but naturally that
paper prefers to have tbs rond 20 to
Stockton, and offers cogent rsasona for
it's attitude. though it does not intimate
where the money is coming from to
build the road. 1t is evident that Stock
ton can't put it up. San Ftancisco will
not, and possibly Los Angeles will
skirmish around and do something-at
