ter of the road petitioned for by resi-
dents of the Goldberg district, across the
lands of A. Goldberg, near Oak Park,
was read. The report states that the

BOND ELECTION DEMANDS.
The board took up a batch of de-
mands that had been filed for services at
the Folsom bond election-some for rent
of polling places, some for services on
election board and others for taking in
returns from the country.
1t was the understanding originally
that there was to be no charge for serv-
ices at the election. and many persons
who served as election officers did not
rflle claims
supervisor Mclaughlin moved that So
be the maximum allowed for rent of poll
ing-places; that the men who brought
returns from the country be allowed
reasonable pay for their services, and
that all the other demands be rejected
Action on the motion was postponed
till to-day in order to allow Supervisor
Jenkins an opprtunity to inspect the
demands from his district
W. A. Anderson appeared before the
board and explained the necessities of
the county law library. It's income, he
said, is only about $50 per month, and
that has not allowed the Trustees to
provide the library with the necessary
books. Other counties are very liberal
toward their law libraries, and Sacra-
mento should not be behind in that re-
spect. With $500 the library could be
supplied with valuable books 1t would
not be giving the money away, only
using it for the county,
On motion of Supervisor Curtis, it was
decided to ask an opinion from the Dis
trict Attorney as to whether or not the
expenditure would be a proper one.
Mr.. Anderson was assured that If a
| favorable response were received the
board would. as soon as the funds were
available, make an allowance for the
purchase Of the desired books
FOLSOM ROAD BONDS.
After transacting some rcatine busi-
ness the board took a recess till this
morning, when bids for the purchase of
| the Folsom road bonds will be opened
Several persons have made offers for
the bonds, but no deposits have as yet
been received, and 1t is not unlikely that
some agreement will be reached to-day
between the Supervisors and District
Attorney by which a decision of the
courts will be had without delay estab-
| fishing the validity of the bonds. as
capitalists these days usually require
such guarantee.
| Reason is but jack-o'-lantern light
in most pponla'c minds
