MAYORS MESSAGES.
The following messages We're received
from the Mayor:
To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
rat11rp to Won with nv aD-
proval indorsed thereon, Ordinance No.
-, entitled, can ordinance regulating
the use of signs within the city of Sac
ramento." Respectfully submitted,
c. II. HUBBARD, Mayor.
To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
Arrangements have been made for a new
forty-inch pipe and connections for the
pumps at the Water Works to discharge
irto. but it will be necessary for the city
TO provide ''cross" in the suction pipes.
This cross can be made out Of boiler iron
and will cost about 1910.
There will also be required some thir-
ty-three feet of 24-inch pipe to connect
with the new pump, which will cost
about S125, and a new valve will be re-
quired to be placed between the two
suction pipes. This valve will have to
be ordered from the East, as none of the
size required can be found in this mar
ket. and will cost about $3.50.
So far as can ascertain this will COM
plete the connections for the new pump.
Some calculations will soon have to
be made for the sidewalk in front of the
building, and the required excavation
will necessitate the removal of the dirt,
etc. to the center of street, and, when
replaced, a wall or bulkhead should be
nut in and the space under the walk left
open, so that the suction pipes can be
reached without having to dig for them.
This walk can be provided for after the
pumps and pipes are in position.
As these connections have to be made
very accurately, / would suggest that
the City Taper be directed to have the
work done under his supervision, and
that the order for the valve be tele-
graphed to the factory so that 1T may
arrive in time and not delay the work.
Respectfully submitted.
c. H. HUBBARD. Mayor.

Bentley asked permission to withdraw
the so-caued boulevard ordinance, as
there seemed to be a misrepresentation
of it. 1t was not intended 10 create a
boulevard but simply to prohibit heavy
traffic on the street as dirt and other
heavy teams We're injuring the street,
and only allow light vehicles and those
