A measure introduced with view to
military operations in the State was pre-
sented by Senator Dickinson to-day. II
will also, if passed, result in great benefit
to wheelmen and every one who has ocea-
sion to drive, ride or walk from one part
of the State to another. Its provisions
follow:
1t is hereby made the duty of the Boards of
Supervisors of the several counties of the State
of California, within ninety days after this act
takes effect, to have typographical map of
their several counties made by the County
Surveyor, said map to be drawn TO a scale of
one-haf inch to the mile, to be divided into
| townships and sections and to exhibit the To-
cation of all roads and highways, bridges,
streams, cities, towns, railroads, level and ele-
waited lands and the general typographical
features OF the county.
One copy of such map is to be filed with
the Board of Supervisors of each county
and one copy at the Capitol.
A measure to increase the salaries of
certain officers conrActed with the San
Francisco Fire Department was submitted
by Senator Bert. It provides that the fol-
lowing shall be the salaries paid after the
passage of the bill: Chief engineer, $4,000;
assistant chiefengineer, $500; secretary or
clerk, $1,000; assistant engineers, $2l00;
veterinary surgeons, $780, The salaries
paid at present are: Chief engineer,
! $4,000; assistant chief engineer, $24oO:
clerk, $500; assistant engineers, $500.
These salaries have not been changed
since 1873, where there were but twenty
one companies in San Francisco. There
are now fifty. The office of veterinary
surgeon is one to be newly created by the
| bill.
Senator Pedlar presented measure to-
day which has threefold purpose in view.
1t extends the rights of savings and loan
institutions in the matter of investing
their funds by permitting them to pur-
chase and hold school-district bonds and
warehouse receipts for grain actually on
storage. He anticipates that this, by
bringing savings banks into competition
with commercial banks, will tend to Sc.
cure better terms on loans obtained by
farmers, and will also create better
market for the sale of school district
bonds.
