ALL PAID IN
We find no instances where property has
been redeemed and payments not properly
turned into the county treasury, but we
have found cases where the proper re-
demption entry has not been made on the
tax sale record, and in these cases we have
called the auditors attention to the matter
and the proper redemption entry has been
made by him.
We may say that valuable piece of
work has been accomplished by this ex-
animation lin addition to the verificaton
OF payments of money! in having these re-
demptions entered up where such record
had not been made. This restores to
clear title property that appeared as being
sold to the state which in fact had been re-
deemed.
In verifying payments in the county
treasurer's office we found that the warrant
registers for 1880, 1881 and 1882 were
lacking, and we found it necessary to
check our redemptions for those years with
the ledger accounts.
SAMPLE DIS CovERIES.
Among the items that have come to our
notice during the examination, we mention
the following:
On July 81, 1894, Mrs. Helen Rule re.
deemed some property that had been sold
to the state for delinquent taxes (vol. 50,
page 313, treasurer's receipt 2543). Re-
demption entry was not made in the tax
sale book, and on September II, 1894,
z. b. West redeemed the same property
(treasurer's receipt No. 256S), and SO the
redemption price was paid a second time.
The corrections, as herein before stated,
having been attended to, and the proper
entries made on the record book, we can
now report the redemption department of
the county in good condition, and from the
data given in this report the next grand
jury, if they so desire, can readily take up
their examination at the point where our
present examination terminatea'

The foregoing is perhaps sufficient to at
tract the attention of our lawmakers, and
we hope legislation may be secured to rem
edy this great shrinkage in estates.

SANTA BARBARA. Dec. 21.-The to-
tai number of pupils attending the
Santa Barbara city public schools at the
close of the year 1896 is 1404. The at
tendance at the various schools is as
follows: High school, boys 81, girls III.
total 20s; First ward, boys Ga, girls 64,
total 1913; Third ward, boys 231. girls 1877,

the various schools during the year is
exceedingly small, to wit: First ward
IA. Third ward 81, Fourth ward so, Fifth
ward 9, total 104. While the accommo-
dations for pupils are insufficient in the
first four grades ample facilities are
found in all other departments. A pleas
ing feature is the notable increase in the
number of high school pupils.
The mysterious suicide of John Krieg
early Sunday morning is the all-absorb-
ing topic among his many friends. Mr..
Krieg was a successful merchant, he
was well-to-do financially and his do
mestic affairs were of most pleasant
nature. He attended mass with his
family at the old mission regularly every
Sunday morning. For several days he
had not been feeling we'll, and no one
doubts but that temporary insanity drove
him to his rash act. Thursday last he
purchased revolver at Roeder & Utt's
hardware store, remarking that he
intended to be prepared in the event
that he should be held up by footpads
while on his way home at night from his
place of business. Yesterday morning
he rose early, walked to the end Of the

The government cannot teach religion,
because it has none to teach But its

Government ought not to pay one
cent for religious etaching. Nor. far

Death Of DR.. Rodes-A Crematory to he
Built

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 21.--The deplorable
death of DR.. Joseph Rodes Yesterday by
drowning in the surf off La Jolla is the
subject Of universal regret for the mem
bers of the bereaved family. Dr. Rodes
had for some years past enjoyed the
merlted distinction of being one of the
leading physicians In the city, and as
citizen was held n the highest esteem
From an eye witness Of the sad occur
renee 1t appears that DR.. Rodes and his
brother-in-law John keenan,, were re-
turning to the landing in their row boat
from a short fishing cruise. and when
within few hundred yards of shore
their frail craft was struck by heavy
swell and capsized. Both men were
thrown into the water, but reached the
upturned boat in safety. Here they re-
mained until another boat with two men
on board reached them and took them
aboard. Then an effort was made to se-
cure the boat that had been overturned,
and in their efforts the second boat was
capszed and all four men were thrown
into the water, when it is believed that
DR.. Rodes was struck in the head by one
of the boats. A second rescue boat was
sent out and all four men picked up
safely, but as soon as he was got into
the boat DR.. Rodes became unconscious
and was dead before they reached the
shore. At an inquest held this morning
a verdict Of accidental drowning was re-
turned. The funeral will be held from
the family residence tomorrow, and will
be private.
The health committee of the city coun-
ell will recommend in their report to be
presented this evening that the city ac-
cept the proposition to build a Dixon
crematory here. At present it costs the
city $3.50 per month to dispose of the gar
bage after it has been collected, and 1t
IS claimed that a considerable saving
can be made by the city in using the
crematory.
