INTRODUCTION OF BILL

INTRODUCTION OF BILLS.
Cobb, Chairman of the Introduction
Committee, introduced three bills, all
amendments to the County Government
Act They were numbered as follows:
Muenter's A. B. 1,011, Griffin's A B.
1,O12, Jilson's A. B. lob.
INTERESTING TO SACRAMENTO.
Later in the day, in fact at a quarter
before 6 D. m, Johnson introduced
bill, A. B. LOLA, the title of which is as
follows:
ITO amend the Act of 1889, approved
March 10, 1889, authorizing mourning
Indebtedness by cities, towns etc. and
to repeal an Act approved March 3,
1885. also an Act approved March Is,
1897, etc.
This was read first time, made spe-
cial order for $50 p. m. and sent with
a rush order to the printer.
In this connection it will interest Sac
ramentans to read a letter which john
son mentioned as having received from
James B. Devine in relation to the ur-
gent necessity of the Introduction and
passage of such bill before the close
of the Legislature. The letter follows:
Sacramento, Cal, March 16, 1899
Hon. Grove l.. johnson, Assembly
man--Dear Sir: 1 hand you herewith
an Act which have prepared for the
purpose Of restoring to the Act of
March 19, 1899, commonly known as
the Municipal Improvement Bond Act, -
Sections 6 and s thereof, as they stood
when amended by the Act of March 1,
1893, found at page 81, statutes 1893
These two sections, as / explained to
you this morning, were, by what was
evidently mistake of the Legislature,
eliminated by the Act of March 8, 1897,
found at page 75, statutes 1897.
The restoration of the two sections
repealed to the general Act of March
10. 1889, as absolutely essential to the
validity of any municipal bonds that
may be attempted to be floated by any
municipality under the provisions OF
that Act.
AS I stated to you this morning, Sac
ramento City is now proceeding with
proposed bond issue in the sum of
100000 for some proposed and much
needed improvements, viz: sewerage,
water main system, new High School,
whaTves, etc.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
this Act which send you be passed i'm
mediately that this city as we'll as other
cities engaged in the same line of i'm
prcvement, may safely proceed and hold
a special election for the issuance of
municipal bonds.
