the Commissioners.
Several Other Commissions COM
pleted by Governor Budd
Yesterday.

Several DAYS ago Governor Budo
announced his intention of appolhtlle
Senator Robert n. Bulla of Los Ahge-
les as the third member of the Cooe
Commission, provided the Los Angelan
would accept. A telegram was accord
3ngly sent, and Bulla declined to serve.
1t was clearly a case of the ONCE
seeking the man, and the Governor
sent another telegram, requesting Bul-
la to reconsider his determination. Sen
ator Bulla telegraphed the Governor,
declining to do so, and the Chief Ex-
ecutive sent another dispatch to the ef-
feet that he should appoint the Senator
and take the risk of his accepting. -
Yesterday morning the Los Angeles
Senator arrived in this city, and after a
long consultation with the Governor
his commission was made out, and, to-
gether with Caminetti and Shanahan
he will give at least a portion of his
time to the proper codification, of the
qaws of the State.
In speaking of his reconsideration and
subsequent appointment, Senator Bull

what ought to be the duties of the
commission he said. coincided with
those of Commissioner Caminetti, and
the latter had informed him that Mr..
Shanahan entertained similar views.
He felt assured that there would be no
friction in the commission, and that it
would take but a short time to dem
Onstrate to the people that it would do
all that was expected of it. He had
also ascertained that his acceptance
would not interfere with his continuing
to hold his office as Senator.
Commissioner Caminetti was also at
the Capitol yesterday, and after Bull
las appointment a telegram was dis
Iatched to Commissioner Shanahan,
requesting his attendance in the city
at the earliest possible moment. If
Mr.. Shanahan arrives to-day it is un
derstood that the commission will be
organized for the transaction of busi-
less tomorrow.
1t seems to be understood that Cam
inetti will be elected Chairman of the
commission.
FOLSOM HIGHWAY.
Ever since the Act providing for the
building of a macadamized road be-
tween Sacramento and Folsom was ap-
proved by the Governor, the people of
Sacramento City and county have been
interested in the Board of Commits
sioners the Chief Executive would ap-
point to take charge of the building of
the road.
Yesterday morning the announce
ment was made that Charles A Luhrs
nf 80 H.. . u
tiers Station and Philip C. Cohn of
Folsom had been appointed as mem
bers of the commission.
The appointments seem to meet with
universal approval Mr.. Luhrs is one
of Sacramento's most energetic bust
ness men, and has been identified with
the Folsom road movement from its in
tception- .....
Mr.. Humphrey has been an enthusi-
asst on the subject Of good roads, and it
is due to his efforts that so much labor
and money was pledged by citizens re-
siding along the road.
To Mr. COINS energy was largely due
the interest taken in the matter by Fol-
somites mad he has been an apostle of
good roads ever since the question was
first exploited on the coast. The idea
seems to prevail that the Governor
acted wisely in the choice of each Com
missioner.
