visors yesterday morning, all the mem
bers being present, L. c. Hatneid' ON
behalf of Isaac Hyman, presented
petition for a franchise allowing MIN
to erect and maintain for twenty-five
years electric poles and wires in the
town of Folsom.
Morrison said he would not vote to
grant an exclusive franchise that would
shut out any one else.
Mr.. Hatfield said the board could not
grant an exclusive franchise even If 1t
wanted to.
The board granted permission to ad-
vertise for bids for franchise.
The board also granted to the Califor-
MIA Transportation Company a fran
chise for the construction of wharf
on Grand Island, to extend out into
deep water.
A franchise was granted to Mr.. Hy-
man on his original petition for a
twenty-tbree months franchise.
The contract between DR.. G. A.
White, Superintendent of the County
Hospital. and the county was read and
approved.
Mclaughlin asked if the contract
gave the Superintendent the power to
employ al his own help, and Morri-
son answered that ever since he had
been on the board that had been the
contract The reason was that unless
the Superintendent had full control
there would be half a dozen bosses,
and the men would not obey orders.
When they knew that the Superinten-
dent had full control, there was no
trouble and everything had gone on
smoothly ever since he had been on the
board.
Mclaughlin thought the board should
have control of appointments, and that
things would go on just as smoothly
The board had control when he was a
member Of it before, he said.
A woman appeared before the board
to ask assistance in getting to Salt
Lake with her daughter and two sons.
They had been assisted to go there by
Morrison and the Howard Association
about a year ago, she said, but the eli
mate did not agree with them and they
came back. Since they have been here
this time they had all been sick and
had concluded that they would like to
go back there, but Mr.. Dale, Secretary
of the Towards, had refused to sup
ply the funds again.
Morrison said he had personally as
sisted her before and did not think, as
the county makes a regular allowance
to the Towards, that the board had
anything &c do with the matter.
The woman was given the names OF
the officers of the association and ad-
vfsed to apply to them.
The Chairman of the Hospital Com
mittee was authorized to order such
quantity cf rock for top dressing as is
needed to finish the approach to the
hospital
Morrison offered a resolution reciting
that Jerry Goodman, - Godding All
Sing, All Won and others are injuring
the property of Sacramento County by
dumping Gebris from the mines in the
navigable streams. filling up the chan
nels and raising the river beds, and
that they intend to continue such
acts; that this county commence such
actions and legal proceedings from time
to time as may be necessary to restrain
and prevent such injury, the manage
ment and control such actions with
power to dismiss and conduct them.
Mclaughlin asked if Yolo County
was contributing to the funds of the
Anti Debris Association and on being
informed that it did not he said he did
not believe this county should do so
much, as Yolo County is equally inter
ested, and ought to bear a part of the
expense.
Morrison said that in this county the
city of Sacramento had to be protected
II all the other counties should say
that they withdrew from the associa-
ton, would this county sit down and
allow the slickens to smother the city?
Mclaughlin thought there was a gen
eral law to cover the subject and If
not. the United States Government
should take care of it,
Curtis said that the sentiment of the
people was in favor of the appropria-
ton for the Anti-Debris Association
and as long as that was the case, he
should vote for it.
The resolution was adopted Nc
Laughlin declining to vote.
