The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1897-03-11

construction of a State highway or
wagon road from Sacramento to Fol-
som, was taken up.
Doty explained that the measure
| merely provided for furnishing the
| metal for the road by the State, and
| that the people along the line would
| furnish $4,000 to complete the work.
Bulla, Luchsinger and Boyce spoke
| against the bill, contending that the
| State at large could derive no benefit,
whatever from the road it was pro-
posed to build, and that crushed rock
from the State Prison, free of charge,
was another name for an appropriation.
Mahoney made a strong plea for the
bill, and did much to assist in it's final
passage.
Doty explained that the intention was
| to build the road as an object lesson to
the entire State He said he was grow
ing tired of having the assertion thrown
into his face that Sacramento city and
county was getting everything the State
had to give. He repudiated the state
ment and submitted that outside of APP
| preparations for State institutions the
city and county had received nothing.
He, however, did not propose to stand
up and beg for the favor, for with the
railroad shops and the Legislature, Sac
| ramento would be able to get along
without it.
The bill was passed by a vote of %
to 9-title amended
LLOYD COMPANIES.
Bert called up his motion to recon-
slider the vote whereby S. B. u, pre-
scribing conditions under which insur-
ahce companies known as Lloyds may
be permitted to transact business in
the State, had been refused passage
Bert explained that Lloyds insurance
companies We're now transacting bust
hess in the State, but that under the
present law they We're not under the
supervision of the Insurance Commits
sioner. This bill, he submitted was in
tended to place those companies under
the direction and control of the Com
missioner.
While the motion to reconsider was
agreed to, the opposition to the bill
came thick and strong. Scarcely a
Senator on the floor, aside from the au-
thor of the measure, raised it's voice in
| its favor, and after a long debate it
Was amended and ordered re-engrossed.
Bert called up his notice to recon-
sider the vote whereby S. B. 499 to
prescribe the duty Of the Attorney
| General and Insurance Commissioner
in regard to the admission of insurance
corporations, associations or individu-
ais to do business in the State, was re-
fused passage. The motion to recon-
| slider carried, and the bill was amend
| ed and ordered re-engrossed
