ROAD SPRINKLING.
A committee of citizens residing be-
tween Franklin and New Hope, COM
posed of Peter Marlette, Frank Kunst-
ing, Charles Shay and Frank Lytte, ap-
peared before the board to see what
sum would be allowed for sprinkling the
four miles of road between Franklin
and the river. The tanks, windmills,
etc., are now about ready.
Chairman Morrison asked Mr.. kunst-
ing what the committee thought would
be required for the ensuing two months,
and the latter replied that $40 would be
about right
Supervisor Jenkins said that at his re-
quest this committee had been selected
by the people of that locality to take
charge of the sprinkling of the road, in
order that it might be we'll and thor
oughly done, as it was too far away for
the board to look after 1t.
Mr.. Jenkins thought that $40 per
month was a very modest demand, and
he moved that the board appropriate
| that sum per month for the work.
| A communication was received from
| many citizens of Elk Grove, asking the
board to authorize the sprinkling of the
| road running east and west through the
town and leading to the warehouse.
The petitioners represent that there is
heavy teaming over that street, making
| it very dusty. The person having the
contract for sprinkling the other streets
or roads in the town was willing to do
this extra work for SS per month
On motion of Supervisor Jenkins, the
proposition was accepted.

Ell DORADO MAP.
County Assessor Berkey requested
the board to purchase for his office a
map of Ell Dorado County, which an
agent was Offering for sale at So.
Chairman Morrison could not see OF
what value such a map would be to
| the Assessor of this county, as the lat
ter had been provided with expensive
| maps prepared by the County Surveyor

Assessor would not have asked for the

that the map be purchased.

ting no.

ness the board took recess till this
