FOLSOM ROAD COMMISSION.
IT WILL COMMENCE A SURVEY
IMMEDIATELY.
The Question of Raising Necessary
Funds to be Submitted to
the People.

County Surveyor Boyd and the Fol-
som Road Commission, assisted by the
State Department of Highways, will
be very busy during the remainder
OF this week in completing the pre-
hminary survey and making estimates
Of the cost of constructing the pro-
posed Sacramento and Folsom macade-
mized road
AT joint meeting of the Folsom
Road Commission and the State De-
partment of Highways, held Monday
last, the question Of extending the time
allowed for the survey was discussed,
and was in the end referred TO the
District Attorney for an opinion as to
the legality of such a proceeding.
The Board of Supervisors at re-
cent meeting adopted a resolution in
structing County Surveyor Boyd to
make the survey and report back on
Monday, July 10th, in order that the
question Of raising the necessary funds
for the construction of the road might
be put to a vote Of the people at the
coming city election.
Surveyor Boyd found it impossible to
do the great amount of work connected
with the survey in the specified time,
and so reported to the Folsom Road,
Commission, who in turn conferred
with the State Department of High
ways with the result that the matter
was referred as before stated.
District Attorney Ryan was absent
from the city yesterday morning, but
Deputy District Attorney ]. Charles
Jones was found, and after looking into
the subject, gave it as his opinion
that to extend the time for making the
report to any time later than the 16h
inst. would not, under the statute, al
low sufficient time for advertising the
proposed outlay before the fall cleo
ton.
Under the opinion rendered. Surveyor
Boyd, accompanied by a working force
and by the members of the Folsom
Road Commission, began the survey
yesterday, and will vigorously prose-
cute the work until finished
Commissioners Price and Ashe. rep
resenting the State Department Of
Highways, and acting in an advisory
capacity to the Folsom Road Commits

the most expeditions and accurate
methods Of prosecuting the work, and
will stand ready at the end of the
week to assist in making estimates for
the cost of construction which will be
embodied in the report to the Board
of Supervisors.
Owing to the short time allowed for
making the survey and report, neither
will be as accurate or exhaustive as
desired by any of the interested par
ties. but they will, it is assured, be as
nearly correct as possible, and will in
form the voters of Sacramento County

He was specially detailed on weeds

Within the past few days the officer
has staked out a number of city lots,
the streets in front of which are ap-
propriately decorated with pig weeds,
tar weeds, rag weeds, and plain weeds,
and the owners of those lots will, he
says, be arrested this morning, and put
to the trouble of explaining to Justice
Davis just how the man they hired to
do the work failed to connect with the
weeds in question.
The officers are out to see that the
cut-your- weeds ordinance is complied
with, and those who have weeds to
cut should prepare to cut them now.

A CORRECTION.
Trustee Leonard Said the Fixing of
Sidewalks VIII BE Forced.

In yesterdays report of the proceed
ings of the Board of Trustees, by a
typographical error President Leonard
was made to say that it was not the in
tention of the Surveyor to force the
dangerous sidewalks to be fixed. What
he did say was that it was the inten-
tion of the Surveyor to force the fix
ing of the dangerous sidewalks, but
that there were not enough contractors
to fix all the sidewalks Immediately
that had been condemned, and that
some would have to wait.
He also recommended a tax of one
half cent for fixing the Art Gallery, in
stead of one-quarter, as printed.
