SAN JUAN ROAD.
report was received from the COM
mittee of Fair Oaks colonists who had
been delegated to examine and report
on the road from Fair Oaks to the Au-
burn road.
The committee recommended that
trees be removed the road turnpiked
and placed in condition for travel. The
road had been badly cut up and rendered
almost impossible. The committee
asked that the road be improved before
next winter. Upward of $1,000, the
committee say, was collected in road
poll taxes from the residents of the
colony, but little of which was expended
on the roads in that locality.
The report was placed on file for
future action.
Supervisor Morrison said the condi-
ton of the San Juan road is largely
owing to the acts of the people them
selves. They had put on teams of four
or six horses to haul wood from the col
ony to the city during the winter that
should have been deferred until spring,
when the road would stand it,
Messrs. Mcmillan and Randall, from
the colony locality, said the people had
done the best they could They had
paid in considerable money in road poll
taxes and should have some facilities
for reaching market from their farms.
Supervisor Curtis spoke of the condi-
ton of the San Juan road and the cir
cumstances under which it had been SO
badly cut up. 1t could not stand the
heavy winter hauling done over it, True,
there had not been much money eX-
pended on that stretch of road
Mr.. Morrison explained that the money
raised in particular locality cannot al
ways be expended in front of the doors
OF those who are taxed The object is
to first put and keep the main travelled
roads in good condition and attend to
side roads as best could be done. All
the road money raised in the colony
would not have kept the San Juan road
in good condition while heavy loads were
being hauled over it in winter
ASK FOR MORE SPRINKLING.
w. w. Greer and other residents along
the lower Stockton road appeared be-
fore the board and asked that that
road be sprinkled this summer as far
south as the Union House, some eight
| miles. Heretofore the sprinkling had
been done fer only some three miles
south of the city. 1t is a very i'm
portant highway. said Mr.. Greer, and
the people down that way are uani-
| nous in the request.
Chairman Jenkins informed the COM
mittee that when the board takes up
the matter of road sprinkling due con-
sideration would be given their re-
quest
LAYDON GETS HIS MONEY.
Darby Layton informed the board
that he had the iron on the ground for
the Costumes bridge and was ready
to begin the work at any time.
Chairman Jenkins said it was yet too
early, and the river would be high for
some time to come.
Mr.. Layton said he would like to
have the board act in the matter Of
the bridge built by him near Neon
nelPs some months ago.
Supervisor brennan said the Road and
Bridge Committee had examined the
bridge and found it satisfactory On
his motion the work was ordered ac-
cepted.
Later the board allowed Laydon's bill
for the bridge, some 5000
FOLSOM'S CALABOOSE.
letter was received from Division
Superintendent Wright of the South
ern Pacific Company again requesting
the board to have the Folsom Jail re-
moved from the company's ground, as
it is in the way of the new depot to
be built there.
Supervisor Curtis was empowered to
have the structure removed and an
other erected to serve the purpose of
a local lookup.
TREASURER LYON.
Supervisor Morrison called the board s
attention to the death of County Treas
urer E. Lyon. He moved that the mem
bers of the board attend the funeral
on Sunday in a body, and that the Sec
rotary of the board be invited to ac-
company them. 1t was so ordered.
RATES FOR PRINTING.
The matter of establishing a schedule
of prices for job printing was called
up by Supervisor Morrison. He said
that bids had been called for, but none
received. He had, however gone over
the bills for the last year and prepared
a list of prices for the various articles
required. In establishing the prices to
be allowed this list would be of aid to
the board. Action in the matter was
deferred.
TIT FOR TAT.
Supervisor Mclaughlin said he had
read that the Supervisors of Santa
Clara County had instructed the Dis
trict Attorney of that county to take
action to prevent the collection of any
taxes from that county for the Sacra-
mento River dredging Improvement and
the construction of macadam
road from Sacramento to Fol-
som. He wanted the board to
have the District Attorney of this
county take like action to prevent Sac
ramento County from being taxed for
the support of the Normal School at
San Jose.
Acting Chairman Morrison said he
