The depleted county treasury has raised
another complication and it is hoped the
hearing before Judge Koch will result in an
immediate relief The merchants upon
whom the orders for outdoor relief are issued
them None of the orders have been paid by
The County Treasurer since April last, and
being unable to realize cash on the orders
some Of the merchants cannot purchase flour
and other such articles sold on short credit.
Some have already notified the Poor Direc-
tors of the fact. The pay roll at the aims
house and other county officials is also long

Late yesterday afternoon Judge Koch
heard argument on the application of Con-
troller Snyder to restrain the County Com
missioners from issuing bonds for more than
$3.50, 900 The argument was continued this
morning. The Commissioners desire to make
the issue for $3.50, 900, covering the temper
ary loans and all outstanding orders. Deputy
Payne was on the stand and denied that the
county is yearly getting deeper into debt.
He said the total expenses for the year is
estimated at $3.50, ,9S2 76 /; estimated receipts,
1890, 10000 He said reductions could be
made at the prison and almshouse of Ss1, 600
while the expenditures for the court house
might be reduced to $3.50, 600 W. L. Shaefer
Of the Taxpayers Association, thought that
economy could be exercised at the almshouse
and Jail by dropping some of the officials
and said that since 1894 the county has been
running about $4,000 year behind. The
court reserved its decision.

and then it would not always be where it was

Talks to Voters at Seventh and ]
Streets Last Night.

There was but a small crowd Of
voters at Seventh and E streets last
night to listen to Peter ]. Shields and
j. j. Dwyer discuss the issues of the
day from a Democratic Cor fusion)
standpoint
It was after 9 o'clock when Mr.
Shields ascended the improvised plat
form, introduced himself and began
his talk. He said that while he had
intended to make some extended re-
marks on State politics he would, ow-
ing to the lateness Of the hour, con-
fine his remarks to reasons why J. J.
Dwyer, candidate for the Assembly,
ought to be elected
Mr.. Dwyer, Mr.. Shields said, is a son
of the late Captain Dwyer, than whom
there was no nobler man. He had
grown up in Sacramento, and all of his
interests were centered here. If elected,
he would interest himself in securing
further appropriations for river i'm
proVement, and would work to the end
that the State Fair should be kept
here. He would also use his influence
to have the Folsom road macadamized
as a model for the rest of the State.
Mr.. Shields said that Mr.. Dwyer be-
ieved, as did all reasonable men, in
perpetuating the State Printing Office,
and would, if elected, vote for an ap-
preparation for it's maintenance-for
money enough to conduct it, but no
more. The State Printing Office, he
said, is a necessity, and will be main
| tanned.
| Mr.. Dwyer spoke next. He said that
if elected he would work for the best
interests Of the city and county. He
! would work to secure further improve
ments to the river, realizing that a
stream navigable for big boats would
be of the greatest benefit to the city
| Mr.. Dwyer said he was a worker
and he asked no odds from any man.
| but that he had always believed in
| helping the man underneath to get on
top. He believed in helping the poor
man to get rich, rather than helping
the rich man to get richer.
He was unalterably opposed to the
State poll tax, which Disseminated in
| that it made the poor and the rich
pay equal sums. He believed it was
unconstitutional and that it should be
wiped off the statute books.
He said he favored the passage of a
primary election law which should car
ry the purity of the ballot into the
convention, and would work to have
schoolbooks given to pupils without
! cost.

SANITARY MATTERS.
What the City Board Of Health Did
Last Evening.

The City Board Of Health held a
meeting last night, Dr. T. W. Hunt
ington presiding. No business of ma
terial Importance was transacted, ow-
ing to the absence of several members.
DR.. II. L. Nichols, the Secretary, read
his report for October. There had been
80 deaths, as against 40 for October,
1897. The general health of the city was
good, the mortality rate showing a per-
centage for the year Of 1890 per thou
sand inhabitants
DR.. Nichols said the published report
of an epidemic of diphtheria in the
northern part of the city was wholly
without foundation. In the extreme
eastern part of the city there had been
one death from diphtheria, and there is
now one case under reatment-accord-
ing to the reports made by doctors.
The reports of Sanitary Inspector
Herr and Plumbing Inspector Smith
showed the usual number Of inspec-
tions, removals of nuisances, etc.
DR.. Mcgowan. Milk and Food In
spector, reported that there had been
no further deaths of cattle from an
thrax on the Perkins ranch in Yolo, and
it was believed the prompt action taken
had checked the disease. The dairies
and slaughter-h houses he had found to
be in good condition. He had made 100
tests of milk, and that of but one dairy
was found below the required standard.
Market inspections to the number of
| 1S4 had been made and over-ripe game,
| fruit and vegetables condemned.
DR.. Parkinson made report con-
cerning the bad condition Of the plumb
ing in the City Jail, and said the last
repairs made there had left it worse
than ever. He offered a resolution
asking the City Trustees to have the
jail plumbing improved by putting In
ventilators through the roof Of the
building.
The resolution was adopted and the
board adjourned.
