Upper House Yesterday.
The Senate lost no time in getting
down to business yesterday morning,
the third reading file being taken up
Immediately after the invocation.
S. 3. y, by Linder, appropriating
so. .000 for the construction of a free
wagon road from the Mono Lake Basin
to connect with the Tioga road near
the Tioga mine, was amended by spe-
cial committee and ordered re-engross-
ed.
s. 3. 431 by Androus, relating to the
Incorporation, organization and gov
ernment of municipal corporations,
having been previously read the third
time, was passed by q vote of 26 to o
title approved.
BOARD OF HEALTH ATTORNEY.
Bert called up his motion TO reconsider
the vote whereby S. B. 400, by Pedlar,
to repeal an Act to create the office of
Attorney for the State Board of Health
and the Board of Health of the City
and County of San Francisco, had been
passed. The motion to reconsider was
carried by a vote of % to S. and the
question was once more on the final
passage Of the bill.
IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION.
Bert moved that further considera-
ton of the bill be made a special order
for $3.50 o'clock p. N. Pedlar, Stratton
and Wilmington objected, and a short,
sharp debate followed.
Bert and Mahoney contended for a
continuation.
StrattOn said he understood that the
votes were all right and such being the
case he could see no reason for making
the matter a special order.
Rert's motion received no second
Smith spoke for the bill, contending
that there was no need for an attorney
for the board, which was purely med-
cal in it's nature. He submitted that
the legal matters of all other boards in
the State We're satisfactorily adjusted
by the Attorney General, one of whose
duties was to advise the State Board of
Health.
Dickinson said the original reason for
appointing an attorney for the Board
Of Health was because the Attorney
General had not the time to attend to
the cases coming up, and that the rea-
son still existed.
Stratton said in the early days of the
session he had probably voted wrong on
a number Of bills. but now that the
majority Of his bills had been passed,
his conscience was easier and he should
vote to abolish the office and make
move in the direction of reform.
Rraunhart spoke against the bill. and
when asked why San Francisco did
Yag, nj 1gv- &c
by asking why Kern and Tulare Coun-
ties did not pay for their own coyote
scalps, and why Sacramento and Yolo
Counties did not pay for their dredger.
The sum was a mere pittance. and was
expended in the interest of the health
Of the people of San Francisco. He
wanted TO know why the Senate per-
sisted in having San Francisco taxed
higher than any other section of the
State, and why more of the sinews of
government was extracted from that
city than from all the rest of the State
He thought the bin ought not to pass
wilmington also smoke, and Bert clos
ed in an argument against the bill
which was refused passage by a vote
of Il to 20
