Sacramento, Oct. 80, 1899.
George III. Clark, Esq, Sacra-
mento, CAL: Dear Sir-For answer
to your inquiry to this date I will
state that the Board Of City
Trustees levied tax rate of
$1.30 on every 800 worth of
taxable property. This levy in
c1uded 100000, which is to be
laid aside to pay off the bonds of
1908, the Board of Estimate think
ing it more desirable to provide for
the payment Of these bonds by
1evying a tax each year for four
years. This levy also includes a
deficiency of $35, 900, which will
have to be carried over from this
year and paid out Of next years
funds. Deducting these two
amounts from the general tax levy
1t will leave a net rate Of ninety
Ave cents, which is the amount nec-
essary for the actual running ex-
penses Of the City Government.
Respectfully, j. d. YOUNG,
City Auditor.

ADJUSTMENTS. A

The Breach Of Promise" Company
opened at the Clunie Opera house last
night to a fair audience below and
packed gallery. The play and company
are precisely what is claimed for them
by the management. The piece is q
nonsensical farce, with so thin a threat
of plot, that it would be easier to find
a needle in a hay stack than to discover
it's beginning or it's end-but it serves.
The company is a rough and tumble,
knock-about troupe Of lively, laughter
making, grotesque burlesquers, low
comedians, dancers, musicians and spe-
cialty players, indulging in riotous per-
formance and the most ridiculous ac>
ton, with satire, burlesque, acrobatics,
buffoonery dancing, music, specialties,
etc, in great profusion-but they serve.
1t is a company playing for prices from
10 to 90 cents, and giving for the mon
ey a vaudeville performance, for the
like of which many people have paid a
dollar in days gone by. There is nothing
in it to criticise, for it def1es criticism;
nothing to point out as possible of bet
terment, for everything done is upon so
extravagant and ludicrous a scale that
it could not be made more absurd, while
to make any part of 1t more natural
would be to reduce it to tameness Mr..
Harrington is the burlesque Irishman
of the extremist stage type, and as such
he could scarcely have a rival as ludi-
crous. Burt Haverly, the old-time min,
strel, has full opportunity TO prove his
humor, and he misses it never once
his burlesque of Philip Sousa, the great
bandmaster, is the cleverest thing of 1t
ALL and it is very clever and very.
laughable. Rosa Crouch is a remark
able contortionist dancer, and appar-
emily as full of fun as she Is of the
spirit of the dance. One young man
gives a splendid exhibition of wing
and rag time dancing, and introduces
many steps wholly new, and besides
he makes his dancing laughing meas
ure. There is a strong-voiced soprano,
a vocal quartet, a clever harp player.
and minstrel oddity drawing music out
Of bottles, bells, the banjo and the VIC,
lin. and playing a comedy part all the
while. Nellie Sennett, who has been
seen here before, is as lively as a
cricket and does some laughable and.
clever acts, one in filtration with Hav-
erly that is especially funny. And there
are others; one being Fred -Saville, who
as a juvenile New York tough boy. is
original. So, all in all, the piece and
the company keep the people in con-
slant laughter. and all the time every
one is saying to himself, What utter
nonsense 70 laugh over''-but the audi
ence laughs all the same, and never
more heartily than when Harrington
and Haverly have the stage for their
duet, something to dream of with never
expectation of witnessing and hearing
such a thing in reality. The same en-
tertainment tonight and every night
this week

The case of Thomas O'Neil, receiver
of the Union Building and Loan Asso-

George w. Locke, as bondsmen of +.

receivers status under the recent de-
cision Of the Supreme Court, and that
the case was a, novel one in the jurls-
prudence of California. They wanted
time to consider the matter. and the
case was therefore continued generally
