Unanimously.

The City Board of Trustees held its
regular weekly meeting last nght'
Trustees Leonard, Wachhorst, Kent
Davis, Mckay, Devine, Tozer ana ZEN
nish being present, and Leonard pre-
siding.
Tozer said that the Poundmaster
wished to make an explanation or the
charges that he was not doing MS duty.
Mr. CooksIey said that there are prop
ably 700 dogs in this town whose own
ers do not keep them tagged, although
they have paid the dog tax
Tozer moved that the PoundmaSter
be authorized to charge fifty cents for
catching a dog whose owner had tag,
but did not put it on him.
Kent moved to reduce it to twenty
Ave cents for the first offense and fifty
cents for subsequent ones, and the
amendment was carried
Chief Engineer Wolf of the Water
Works explained in relation to the
charges for machinists work that the
change made at the Water Works ne
cessitated considerable extra work. The
expense of repairing this year has av-
eraged only about $40 a month, how
ever. He had expected that the new
pump would be put in at the begin
ming of the year, but it was not done.
He did not think there had been any
extravaganza.
The bin of Mr.. Hurd for machinst's
work was then allowed.
P. j. Shields presented a communica-
ton asking that the city aid in sprink-
ling the Riverside road by a contribu-
ton of $50 month, the Supervisors
having contributed 500 a month.
He said that the road had always
been a credit to the city, and was one of
the features that attracted strangers to
Sacramento and was a great source Of
enjoyment to the citizens here. He
thought the boards policy toward it
should be liberal, and that public opin-
ion would back them up in such action
Mckay moved that the request be
granted, and Kent moved to amend by
appropriating $50 a month for four
months.
Leonard and TOZer said they would be
glad to do as asked, but the citys
finances were in a serious condition,
and a large amount could not be
spared.
kents amendment was carried.
to the effect that in the contemplated
improvement of K street, from Front
TO Second, with the Williams system Of
paving blocks, the city could not ac-
cept the guarantee offered by the COM
pany asking for the contract without
endangering the collection of assess
ments. and the only safe way was to
let the company make a private con-
act mill h.
Devine opposed the city's accepting
the improvement of the street with the
material offered.
TOzer said that similar material had
proven excellent in several European
cities The property-owners, however,
would not assume the responsibility I'M
less the city would accept the street
after it was finished
Z. c. Drescher said he had examined
into the subject considerably and was
faForably impressed with the pave
ment. Had written to the Board of
Earb0r Commissioners, asking how the
material lasted, which had been laid
down for it. He had received an an
sWer which he would like the Clerk to
read.
The letter stated that the pavement
laid by the company two years ago had
shown as yet no sign of wear. and that
the Commissioners We're we'll pleased
with it. 1t had taken the place of BIZ
tumen and other substances and was
better than they had been.
MIR. Drescher argued that the prop
erty-owners were agreed in asking that
the street be improved, and he hoped it
would be done.
Devine moved that the Clerk corre-
spond with the Street Department Of
san Francisco and find out how the
Pavement on Twenty-second street in
that city had worn.
Kent moved to amend that the Street
Committee confer with the manage
ment of the Market Street Railway
Company, and get its opinion of the
merits Of the pavement.
Mr.. Kohler, the agent of the company,
said that Mr.. Kents idea of the pave
nent was erroneous. He explained the
manner of laying it.
Kent's amendment was carried.
The Clerk said that there were no
notices from the Mayor, but he had ap-
proved the Milk Inspection ordinance,
the bonds of w. A. Glover and Thomas
Twaddle, and the contracts for sweep
