SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 16.-(Regu-
lar Correspondence The model grand
Jury has been discovered, and 1t flour
ishes In San Bernardino county. 1t was
organized November Is end held twelve
days session, reporting December Is, at
a total expense to the county Of $1722.O5
including everything but hall hire, dis
tributed as follows: Jury fees and mile
age, S900.S5; expert fees, 1926; witness
fees, $500; carriage hire, 50. What Is
more wonderful than this low expense
Is the brevity of the report. Most Of the
offices are merely mentioned by a line or
two: all were praised and none blamed,
with here and there slight suggestion
for future action. The jury found the
road records incomplete and urges an
carly survey and more full records. The
rock pile is strongly urged as remedy
for the hobo visitant The new court
house, which has cost already s177,S10
and requires 1000 more to complete it,
Is characterized as an expensive luxury
but it was recommended to make the
best of bad bargain and put 1t to some
use. The office of coroner was conducted
carelessly in the matter Of turning over
the effects of the dead to relatives with
out taking receipts. The hospital needs
pest house and trifllng change In the
matter of fire protection. The number Of
patients for the year was 233, of which
q died, 143 were discharged and SIS re-
main. The horticultural commission
which has charge of three-fOurths of the
taxable property Of the county, is high
ly commended, and the idea Is suggested
that it is better to prevent the spread Of
fruit pests rather than to wait and de-
stroy them after they find a Judgment
In the matter of constable and justice
fees, the expenses for 1895, with unre-
stricted fees, were S22, 104.45; in 1896, with
restricted fees, the expense was SIS, 1922 80;
and in 1897, with a paid salary, the ex-
pense was S19,560. From these figures
the conclusion is drawn that between the
unrestricted fees and salary the differ
ence is in favor Of salary by $2544.45;
while between restricted fees and SAL
airy the difference Is in favor Of the re-
tricted fees by s937.0S, with much better
work in the care Of the hobo, as the con-
stables would use more diligence. The
health officer Is advised to keep a record
Of all official business, which Is not done,
and, with the district attorney Is CEN
sured for allowing the Chino waste wa
ter nuisance to prevail. as it Is I'M
healthy to life and destructive Of all the
fish in the creek. The jury strongly
urges that this nuisance be abated with
out further delay. The district attorney
is also urged to commence aggressive
action against the numerous nlckel-in-
the-slot machines. The jury touches the
county government act very gingerly,
evidently afraid of deep water. 1t Is
all comprised in the one sentence: "As
far as we have been able to ascertain,

threatened not only the fisherman but
the marshal with a shotgun. He was
Immediately placed under arrest and
brought before Justice Withent, charged

Correspondence) a young man from

to this city ON Tuesday to visit his old
friends, Emmett & FeeZel, the butchers,
had very unpleasant experience last
night. When he retired he folded his

missing, which alarmed young Sparks.

found open. and a purse containing a
small amount of silver. but which was
very hard TO open, was found near the

just 90 cents out OF his s315. No trace has
yet been found of the manner Of disap-

party.

An analysis of the finances Of the city
shows that. while 1t is by no means bank
rupt, with its many millions Of taxable
property and prosperity on every side,
it is In a way to shortly appear 80, from
the shortsightedness of the board Of
trustees in trying to run wholesale
business on a retail capital. In other
words, the tax levy was far too small
for the needs Of the city. AS a result,
the new collections from October found
a hook in the clerks office well filled with
promises to pay. but with no money to
pay them. In two weeks the tax-paying
season will be over, and there Is but $19,-
900 on the roll to collect to be used for
the paying Of the city bills for ten
months till another pay day. Add to
this $4,000 water rents and $4,000 from the
license fund for the coming year, and
there will be just $31 900 available. The
expenses for the past four months, with
the strictest economy practiced, as there
was a shortage, were $13,560.S2, or an
average OF s3390.20 per month. For ten
months this will amount to $33, 900. The
1st Of January there is due $4,000 on wa
ter bonds and $4,000 interest, which must
be paid. This will reduce the amount OF
available funds to just $4,000 for the ten
months. or a shortage OF the demands
upon 1t of $4,000. A good, round tax rate
will be necessary for 1898 to catch up
with the bills
