Senator Seawel handed in a petition
from citizens of Sacramento, protesting
against the passage of the bill for the i'm
provement OF the streets surrounding the
Capitol grounds. The petition relates
tEat the city taxes of Sacramento are
higher than those of any other munich
patty IN the State, ana, in addition to the
payment of these taxes, we have paid
large sums Tor street Improvement within
the past two years, and to compel US now
TO participate in the improvement of the
streets as contemplated by Senate Bill
NO. 4S9 would work an extreme hardship
upon US all, and in some cases would
cause an absolute contiscation OF our
property. The prevailing depression in
financial matters makes it impossible for
some OF the undersigned to raise the funds
which will be required for the improve
ment of the streets directed by said bill.
and this financial stringency, taken in
consideration with the high taxes OF Sac
ramento City, and the improvements we
have already made, would render it i'm
possible for US to comply at the present
time with the provisions of the bill"
