Their Devious. Mays.
Several Will be Cited to Explain Their
Their Little Bills to the

| When the Board of Supervisors met
yesterday morning the first thing
brought up was the matter of the Ii
cense of Mrs. Glueck, who keeps a
saloon near the County Hospital.
/ 1t was stated that for year or more
her license had been RENTED by the
/ board, she having been left after the
death of her husband with four small
! children to support A motion was
made that the License Collector be in
structed 10 collect the license from her
! hereafter.
| A discussion ensued. some of the
members stating that complaints had
! been made about the house, and the
motion was unanimously carried.
! Dreman said that the pump at the
| County Hospital was too large for the
| discharge pipe. 1t is splendid pump
and would do good work, but there is
not power enough to run it and the pipe
! is not large enough. He had a chance
a few days ago to sell the extra pump,
/ but had no authority to do So He
I liked the present pump very much, and
he would like a smaller one of the same
kind, which could be changed and put
in for about 500.
| Mclaughlin said he thought the con-
tract called for a pump that would
work satisfactorily and that it should
be carried out. The pump has not
yet worked satisfactorily
Curtis thought the pump was too
| large for the motor and that more pow
er was needed, and he moved that a
larger motor should be put in.
Morrison said the agreement was that
the last change should be made salts
factory, hut it has not proved so. He
would move now that a smaller pump
be put in. provided it was agreed that
there should be no more changes and
that it be made to work satisfactorily.
The motion was carried Mclaughlin
voting no
A number of bills were allowed and
Morrison presented some bills O. K.'d
by the District Attorney for Constable's
fees in arresting criminals He thought
that it was the Sheriff's duty to arrest
criminals without cost to the county
He had teen informed that some Con-
stables make a practice of watching
the trains as they come into their towns
and taking hobos off them who are
against the county. He also alluded
to some bills presented by Justices in
the past.
Mclaughlin moved that the bills be
referred back to the District Attorney
and the motion prevailed.
Curtis moved that the Constables and
Justices presenting the claims be cited
to appear before the board on April Sth
and show cause for making them and
required to bring their dockets. Car
ried
Morrison stated that superintendent
Mackey Of the Haggin grant had said
that if the county would put the road
running east from the long trestle in
condition for a macadam road run
ming out to the cross roads, about a
mile and a half, he would see that the
rock was put on it. He MorrisOn)
would like to see the road bed leveled
and put in shape for making first
class macadam road, as it is impossible
to keep that piece of road in order in
it's present shape. He moved that the
Surveyor be instructed to make the
necessary surveys and that the road
be put in shape to receive the mac
adam.
Curtis heartily approved the motion.
The portion of the road spoken of, he
said, was Travelled over more than any
other road leading into Sacramento,
the people of Fair Oaks and Orange
vale coming here to trade, and hauling
a great deal of wood over it, 1t was al
present impossible to keep it in order,
either in winter or summer and the
road should be fixed. He wished to
encourage outsiders to come to the
city.
The motion was carried unanimously
The Chairman called attention to a
bill of Darby Laydon & Co. for part
payment on the Mcconnell bridge,
which has not yet been accepted. He
wished the board to inspect the bridge
and pass on it.
The board signified it's intention to
include the matter in its projected trip
on another matter, and took a recess
