for the Grading Near McCon-
nelrS Station.

The Supervisors met in adjourned ses-
sion yesterday morning, all being pres
ent. to attend to some road matters
and open bids for various contracts.
The report of viewers ON the road
asked to be opened through the Ma
toma vineyard to the Placerville road
was read.
1t stated that the expense Of opening
the road would be S1,S64, exclusive of
damages on the route Of the road asked
for. The expense Of the road recon-
mended by the viewers would be 81 .344
exclusive of damages. The Natoma
Vineyard Company is opposed to the
road being opened through it's land, and
the viewers, recognizing the impracti-
cability and injustice of the road as
petitioned for, and the fact that it
would cut up the Natoma Company's S
vineyard In way that would result in
heavy loss to it and excessive cost to
the county for right of way and dam
ages, as well as the opposition Of Mr..
Taylor. proceeded to view another and
shorter and more direct route, on which
Il also reports.
The proposed route would force the
Natona Company to take out its vines
for twenty-four feet on each side of the
road in order to enable its teams to
work the vineyard. The company Of
ferS to donate q right of way over its
land east of the proposed road and
about three-fourths of a mile distant
from It. In view of the fact that the
Postofffce and shipping facilities at Ma
tona are the only main causes leading
to the necessity for the proposed new
roads, and recognizing that the Post
office is likely to be abandoned at any
time at the pleasure of the Natoma
Company, the viewers think their offer
of a right of way should be considered
and that the viewers should make a
supplemental report on it.
A letter was also read from the off,
GERS of the Natoma Company, stating
that they should oppose the proposed
way offered.
After some remarks by the petitioners
the board decided to go out to-day and
view the proposed road.
