be taken in this matter. The Fourth

COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Trustee Tebbets, for the Finance
Committee, reported on the bridge over
the canal at Thirty-first and T streets,
and recommended that the city pay its
proportion of the cost, about $50. The
report was approved.
Trustee Paine, for the Street Com
mittee, asked that the order of bust
ness be suspended, and that a commit
tee from the Horrbles wished to be
heard by the board
j. T.. Mayo, for the committee, said
that there was $40 left in the immigra-
ton fund, and as the committee wished
to extend the features of its procession,
Il would like to have that additional
amount donated to them
Trustee Tebbets said he thought it
was cheeky for the committee to come
and ask for the rest of the money. If
they had run behind it would be differ
ent.
The matter was laid over for a week
Mr.. Mayo then asked that the use
OF the Plaza be given to the HorribIes
on the afternoon of the Fourth, and,
the Mayor favoring it, the request was
granted.
Trustee Mckay said that he hoped
that next year a regular levy of tax
would be made for the Fourth of July
celebration He hoped that no citizen of
Sacramento would ever have to go
around begging subscriptions again, as
he had this year.
Trustee TfbbetS agreed with Ny
Mckay
Mr. Ingham of 1900 c street said an
electric light pole had been put in front
of his bay window, and he asked that it
be removed
The matter was referred to the Su-
perintendent of Streets.
The special committee on an extra
thirty lights asked for in addition to
the number specified in the lighting

time in which to report, and it was
granted.
BUFFALO BREWERY WATER
Trustee Douglas said that a commit
tee of the Trustees had visited the Buff
1alo Brewery in regard to the request
Tor lowering the water assessment The
Sutter Terrace people, who had been
Tor some time complaining that they
could get no water, had plenty of wa
ter on that day. He recommended that
all the pipes but one four-inch pine
supplying the brewery be sealed UP.
and meter put on. so that the amount
used could be ascertained
Trustee Dolan moved that all but a
four-inch pipe be sealed up. and the
water rate reduced to $50 a month for
the brewery.
Mayor Land believed that the Buffalo
Brewery used more water in day than
his hotel does in ten. and he paid $40
at the hotel which has only a three
inch pipe. To lower the price for the
brewery would be an injustice to the
hotel men. He thought a three-inch
pipe would be large enough for the
brewery
Trustee Devine Thought the rate to-
day a reasonable one, and that it should
not be reduced.
