FRUIT-sKIN NUISANCE.
A Woman and Babe Receive = Bad
Fall Therefrom.

Last evening woman carrying an in
FAINT was thrown heavily to the stone
sidewalk at Ninth and ] streets by
stepping on piece Of orange Or banana
skin, and they had to be taken to a
doctors office for treatment
There is an ordinance against the
throwing of such things on the side
walk, but no attention is paid to it,
and if a dozen persons were to have
their skulls cracked by slipping on
these fruit skins the practice would
not be stopped. The only way to do
is to arrest and punish those detected
in the act of violating the law.
Every morning scores of gardeners
gather at Third and streets to sell
their vegetables, and the sidewalks are
strewn with cabbage leaves, turnip
tops, ETC., which nobody ever removes.
All day yesterday the cement walks
at Third and streets remained COW
cred with these leaves and vegetable
tops, while a cartfull could have been
gathered from the cutters.
If a policeman would stay on duty
there for awhile in the morning and
compel the vegetable venders to re-
move their debris, that quarter of the
city would look less like a section of
Chinatown and the liability to accident
would be greatly lessened.

Committee on Manufactures.

To the President and Members of the
Sacramento Chamber of Commerce: Your
Committee on Manufactures beg to report
that during the past year but little work
has been assigned to it; few propositions
from parties desiring to install small
manufacturing plants have been fully
considered and investigated, and on Wnlcn
your committee have been unable to re-
port favorably.
We take pleasure in reporting, however,
that there has been considerable improve
ment in the manufacturing interests OF OF
the city during the past year. attributable
mainly to the excellent power facilities OF
fered by our electric companies-nearly all
our principal manufacturers now utilizing
electric power in place of steam, the econ
omy and convenience of electric power
having been fully demonstrated.
The Sacramento Electric Gas and Rail-
way Company and the Central Cal1ornla
Electric Company now furnish in this city
electric power to 12o motors ranging in
capacity from l horse power to 100 horse
power, and aggreSating total OF l,loO
horse power.
Your committee are of the opinion that
the existing factories in this city, espe-
cially iron foundries and machine shops,
should be encouraged to improve their fa-
cilities to enable them to accept work
such as the manufacture and repairs of
mining machinery. mill machinery, etc.
some of which now passes through this
city en- route to more distant points; the
aggregate of this class of work is very
large and would undoubtedly come to this
city should our manufacturers prepare
themselves to accept it
Your committee would ask the Cham
Der of Commerce to consider what induce
ments can be offered by the Committee
on Manufactures to manufacturers de-
string to locate in this city. The difficulty
under which the Committee on Manufac-
lures labors at present is that the COM
mittee does not know whether the Cham
Der of Commerce is in a position to give
assistance to newcomers, and your COM
mittee would suggest an expression of
opinion from the Chamber of Commerce
as whole on this question. Respectfully
submitted.

limited work. | have. therefore, endeav-
ored to establish precedent in looking
after our interests as taxpayers as Illus
trated in attending to the two matters be-
fore the supervisors, namely, the pur-
chase of the lot on H street and the con-
tract with the attorneys for collecting re-
bates from the State. 1t is grave ques-
ton how far the Chamber of Commerce
be determined at general meeting as 1t
is a question of permanent policy and
practically of expenditure inasmuch as it
might consume considerable of the time
Sacramentans with interests as large as
those of the members of the Chamber
of Commerce and none who have better
rights to protect their interests. Again,
official capacity which relieves it of per-
sonal responsibility and consequent dam
ger of resulting personal animOsities. l
had been solicited to get the chamber into
politics to correct some evils, but l be-
iieve it far better that the chamber should
keep it's members posted on public mat
ters and let each do his own politics, but
keep the Chamber of Commerce free to
criticise all parties, in other words, strict
ly non-partisan. Nothing will go further
to keep up the membership of the cham
Der than well directed, conscientious work
looking after the interests of those who
will feel it their duty to become members.
I am pleased to report that the mem
bership of the chamber has been kept up
by an active committee. The dues are
not, however, larger than the actual fixed
expenses, thus leaving no leeway for sun
dry expenditures that are often advisable.
/ have to report that we have lost but
one member by death. On September. 3,
1898, D. D. Whftbeck was called to his
Maker. The Chamber of Commerce lost
IN him an active member and Sacramento
one of her most honorable and respected
citizens. Respectfully submitted,
DOUGLAS A. LINDLEY, President.
