FOURTH WARD.
The meeting at the Courthouse was
presided over by Trustee Mckay, ~.
Falconer Secretary, and was briefly ad-
dressed by Bureau of Highways Com
missioner Ashe, who said the purpose
of the meeting was not to argue the
question but to see who its friends are
and how many there are When the
names are called off from the great
register it is desired that those VINO
know the person named Will vote Tor
the proposition would say so. II no
one knows it is desired to so arrange
that such man may be called on and
the matter explained to him, in order, If
possible to secure his vote on the right
side. There will be later meetings for
the purpose of presenting the subject
to the people.
In answer to some qeuStionS asked,
Mr. Asne stated that the tax for the
interest on the bonds would amount
only to / cent on each 500 assessed,
10 cents on each $1,000, 81 on each
$4,000 and $40 on each 100000.
j. II. Laurence said it was necessary
in order for the proposition to carry to
have the business men and property
owners take hold of the matter and
work and vote for it. He contrasted
the way in which the people of Los
Angeles and the other towns of the
south took hold Of such matters with
the way in which the people of this
county did. Through their methods Los
Angeles has within a few years grown
from a town far smaller than Sacra-
mento to city of over 100000 inhabi-
tants Progress along the line of the
proposed construction of this road will
soon result in building this city up into
large one. 1t will give a driveway
that will attract strangers who come
to this city and wish to drive out into
the country, for good roads in coun-
ty always attract attention and COM
mendation from strangers. 1t will in
crease the assessment roll of the coun-
ty us well as the city and thus lessen
the taxes to all and in less than five
years will return to the pockets of the
taxpayers in various ways more than
the S1o, 900 the road costs 1t will give
us a city and county to be proud of,
and strangers coming here, instead of
seeing the wagons coming in over the
Folsom road covered with mud, will
come in in a very different shape.
Mr.. Ashe spoke of the courtesies eX-
tended in the southern part of the State,
and told how he and Commissioner
Price on recent trip to Ventura, arriv-
ing there Saturday night received notes
on Sunday morning inviting them to
attend church that day 1t would be
a long time, he thought, before the
people of Sacramento would think of
showing such an attention to strangers,
but in the southern country they want
strangers to come and settle among
them. Where they had gone on that
trip to advise the Supervisors regard
ing the building of a bridge, the bridge
has since been built, at cost of $32,
600 and good roads approach it, on
which the farmers can haul two tons
Of sugar beets to the factory which is
being established near the bridge, in
stead of one ton, as used to be the
case.
