The following resolution was offered
by Director Alvin j. Bruner, Chairman
Of Committee on Law and Legislation:
Whereas, the history of Spain for
many generations has been one of per-
sistent and malignant cruelty towards
the inhabitants of its colonies; and
Whereas, it's misrule of the unhappy
island of Cuba has within three years
last past resulted in the murder by star
walton of more than 100000 innocent
victims of its barbarous colonial policy
and
Whereas, the financial interests of
Americans in Cuba have been almost
destroyed, and our citizens there in
suited and imprisoned without just
cause or excuse: and
Whereas, the Government of Spain is
responsible for the destruction of our
magnificent battleship, the Maine, and
the death of 266 brave American sail
ors; and
Whereas, the President and Congress
of the United States, fully realizing their
duty and right in the premises, have
solemnly declared that the Spanish flag
shall no longer wave in this Western
Hemisphere over land and waters which
it has polluted and defiled therefore De
it
Resolved, That the Sacramento Cham

hereby pledge every effort in its power
to the end that Spains dominion on
American soil be ended and the Spanish
flag driven by force of arms from Amer
lean waters.
The resolutions were unanimously

To the Board of Directors Sacramento
Chamber of Commerce-Gentleme
Your Committee on Public Improve
ments has duly considered the great
necessity for a better system of pipes
for water supply and respectfully rec
ommend that the Board of City Trus-
tees be petitioned to provide a 30-inch
steel pipe line from the Water Works
to Front, to O, to Thirty-first; also such
lateral pipes as Will give an abundant
supply of water to all parts of the city
not yet provided for. By having said
main pipe of uniform size to the city
limits it VIII be available in case a clear
water supply should be obtained at any
future time east of the city.
To the Board of Directors Sacrament
to Chamber of Commerce-Gentleme
Your Committee on Public Improve
ments respectfully reports that it has
carefully examined the sewer plan of
William Mullenney, City Surveyor, en-
bracing present system and new sew
ers required. as set forth in his report
to the honorable Board of City Trus-
tees, a copy of which is herewith sub
mitted; and believing that said plan
provides for ample facilities for dispos-
ing of house waste or sewage, storm
water and sipage water for all por
tions of the city, we approve the same
and recommend that the City Trustees
be petitioned to take prompt action for
providing the needed sewers.
To the Board of Directors Sacrament
to Chamber of Commerce-Gentleme
Your Committee on Public Improve
ments, to whom was referred the mat
ter of better accommodations for the
Sacramento High School, respectfully
reports that this matter was consid
cred at meetings of this committee held
on March 23d, when James Seadler was
present by invitation; also, on April
9Th, when Messrs. Panabaker, Perkins,
Elliot and Erlewine, a committee from
the City Board of Education, were pres
ent by invitation The Importance and
imperative necessities for better ac-
cOmmodations for the High School were
so we'll understood that it seemed only
necessary to consider the capacity and
character of the building required We
consider it advisable to have a build
ing of not less than twelve rooms; that
the same be built of brick ornamented
with stone. 1t is estimated that such
a building would cost 100000 Your
committee recommends that the Cham
Der of Commerce cooperate with the
City Board of Education in presenting
this matter to the Board of City Trus-
tees, to the end that prompt measures
be adopted for providing a building
suitable for future requirements of the
High School, and one that will be an
ornament to our city.
Your committee having submitted its
report on a better system of pipes for
q water supply, on sewer plans and on
better accommodations for the High
School, respectfully recommend that
