Brown moved that the Street Super
intendent be instructed to report on a
high pole for the center of the plaza
for an electric light.
The matter was referred to the Street
Committee.
There was only one bid for electric
power for the sewer plant, that by the
Sacramento Electric, Gas and Railway
Company, $500 a month for each motor,
or IA cents for 1000 watt hours.
Paine said the present price was $2oU.
and he moved that all bids be rejected
Deyine favored the motion.
Tebbetss moved as a substitute that
the bid be referred to the Sewer Conn
mittee. So ordered.
The application of Britt & Beeler for
saloon license at sol K street was
granted, Mckay not voting.
A resolution of intention to macad-
amize the alley between H and 1, Fif-
teenth and Sixteenth streets. was
adopted.
An ordinance to prevent the spread
of infectious diseases by means of
laundries was passed. It prohibits
sprinkling. clothes by spraying with the
mouth, and also prohibits persons af-
fiicted with infectious diseases from
sleeping or staying around laundries.
A DEBATE PRECIPITATED.
Devine moved to reconsider the vote
by which the nomination of Special Of
ficer Campbell was defeated.
Dolan thought there could be no re-
consideration, as the matter was set
tied, and the only way would be 10
begin anew.
Kent did not believe in the legality Of
the boards action. He thought Camp
bell would be a thorn in the sides of
the political bosses, and would protect
the poor women on his beat, which the
police did not dare to do, for fear of
losing their position. He moved that
the Acting Chief of Police be instructed
to clean out the buns and loafers that
hang around the poolrooms, and make
them get out of the city and go to
work. He moved that the Acting Chief
be instructed to carry out the law re-
garding poolrooms especially, and close
them up.
Tebbets said this was a mere matter
of politics. The matter of the poof-
rooms is now in court and awaiting de-
cision. If arrested, the proprietors will
simply give bail and open again.
Devine said this thing had been going
on for forty years, and spasmodic efforts
TO close the games had been made.
Kent said he was in favor of faro
games wide open, for he thought they
We're as square as cornering goods in
the market, but he was down on pool
rooms.
On motion of Tebbets, the matter was
laid over for a week.
A few changes We're made in the
Election Boards.
Tebbets stated that the Water Com
mittee had not fixed the time for a
coal test at the Water Works and the
coal question went over and the board
adjourned.

A WORTHY WORK.
Ladies' Museum Association and
Its SchoIarshins.

For several years a band of devoted
women known as the Ladies Museum
Association. has stood the firm friend
of the Sacramento School of Design in
the City Art Gallery, conducted by the
California Museum Association Their
work has been the placing of pupils in
the school possessed Of native talent,
who needed aid to enable them to pur-
sue a course in art
For this purpose the ladies have paid
in a small sum into a common fund
annually, which has been used for the
purpose indicated. In addition the as
sociation has promoted festivals and
social events to benefit their fund.
FOR two years, however they have
not called on the public in this way
at all, but have maintained their inter-
est in this community work quietly and
without any special publicity keeping
their scholarships in the school full.
In no case has their aid been misap-
piled. 1t has, on the contrary, resulted
uniformly in great good, and has been
consequently the source of justifiable
pride.
Recently scholarship in the school
held by the ladies became vacant by
reason of the fact that the pupil COM
pleted the course and entered upon art
work Independently in a nearby city,
greatly to the credit of the patrons of
the scholarship.
A meeting of the ladies of the asso-
citation is now called for Thursday at
2:3O p. m, at Pioneer Hall, to gather
in the mites for the year and award
the scholarship anew to some worthy
person OF genius needing assistance
and there are several applicants The
officers of the association ask for full
attendance and the payment of the an
nual dues, that the fortunate one to
be chosen may be Immediately placed
