THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEETING.

| The Chamber of Commerce is to hold
an annual meeting tomorrow to nom
mate officers for the ensuing year. 1t
is likewise, if time permits. to hold an
| informal conference concerning pub
lie improvements and how to pay for.
them" It is hoped that time will per-
| NIT. We know Of scarce any engage
ment the members of the chamber can
better afford to keep than that, since
1t Is the only representative unofficial
body we have that can or should take
up this all important question of local
improvements and how to pay for
them
1t may be taken as a business maxim
that where there is great need for a.
thing, pressing want and clear per-
ception that the filling of it will be
profitable commercially. socially and
in sanitary sense, the question of
means of payment for qualification of
the desire is secondary rather than
primal.
A city Of the Importance Of this can
afford without any hesitation to hire
the money through wise use of which
there Is to be accomplished results
which will profit business and better
the conditions of all the people. Ger
tificates of credit have no frightful
mein when the use of the money they
produce will be more profitable than
$50 Al
sees the need for certain things for this
community; is impressed with the
value and wisdom of gratifying the
desire for them; is convinced that 'it
will pay" it should do just as the
most ordinary business man does and
improve the occasion to fill the need
SO far as it's influence can move upon
the people to do so.
Let us Illustrate the thought by two
very simple instances Of application
Assume that the chamber realizes the
sanitary, esthetic and moral value, as
we'll as the economy Of having resi-
dence streets cleaned at certain short
intervals, will 1t not be business wis
dom to suggest a way to the end? If
it is convinced that the system of car
ing for the macadamized streets is
wasteful, destructive and must GER
tainly result In the speedy decay OF
such thoroughfares, and involve the
cost of entire reconstruction, will it
not be business like to suggest rem
edy and the means for applying it?
correspondent in this journal not
long ago expressed the thought that q
city such as Sacramento cannot afford
to neglect itself. since If 1t does others
will assuredly neglect it also; there

COUNTY MATTERS.
Action Taken by the Board OF su-
pervisors Yesterday.

The Supervisors met yesterday TOT
their December session. All the mem
bers were present except Morrison, VINO
had not yet returned from Slsk1you
County.
A. l.. Shinn appeared on behalf OF
Reclamation District $50 (Andrus ISL
and) and asked that the land owners Oh
the island be permitted to raise 5ne
|levee and use it for road purposes.
On motion of Mclaughlin the request
was GRANTED. Land owners will be per-
mitted to raise the outside levee ana
to take earth from outside the levee
for such purpose.
On motion of Mclaughlin county
Surveyor Boyd was instructed to act IN
conjunction with Surveyor Ashley OF
Yolo in locating a site for the free ferry
and to submit the same to the ooaro
with diagram for the ferryboat, etc.
The matter of the petition of P. Nc
Enerney and others for a public ROAD
out to the main road east of Arno ana
over lands of Mrs. A. NJ Valensin, Jas.
McGuirk, George McCauley and P. Nc
Enerney, was taken up for consldera-
ton.
On motion of jenkins D. Moroney,
James Savers and County Surveyor
Boyd were appointed viewers to lay out
such road and report to the board.
Mclaughlin brought up the matter of
State aid to orphans and half-orphans
who are assisted through the agencies
of certain local organizations He said
the State Board of Examiners has held
that the Board of Supervisors has not
the right to appoint an agent to dis
pense money secured from the State
for orphans and half orphans The
board should order warrants drawn in
favor of the father or mother, as the
case may be. The money so expended
is returned by the State.
Two petitions for aid were presented
to the board for half orphans and were
allowed. The appropriations will con-
tinue until further order.
After passing on a few claims the
board took a recess till 10 O'clock this
morning.

COUNTER CHARGES.
Gases to be Inquired Into by Jus.
tice Anderson on Thursday.

James Hickey, special officer at the
railroad depot, who on Saturday was
charged by Frank Richardson, a hack
driver, with disturbing the peace, en-
tered a plea of not guilty in the City
Justices court yesterday, and at his re-
quest continuance was granted until
Thursday.
Yesterday morning Hickey preferred
counter charges against Richardson and
a man named Curly Cameron, aecus-
ing them of disturbing his peace. Rich
ardson and Cameron pleaded not guilty,
and their cases, too, were continued un-
til Thursday.

fore it can afford to do as its wisdom
suggests should be done. always, OF
course, within the bounds of good bus
mess sense. The Chamber of Com
merce ought to be the city advisor in
such directions as these. It is large
ly so now, but 1t certainly does lack
in some of the elements of courage II
has inherent vigor suficient-of that
there can be no doubt. But it is at
fected somewhat by the spirit Of COM
promise, and of concession to that
which it endures but wishes to de-
stroy.
To be radically and aggressively
right commands far more public re-
spect and support than to be timidly
sound. Let the chamber take hold OF
the business Of dragging the sacra-
mento skeletons from their. closets and
deprive them thereby of their fearful
ness. Let it grapple for instance,
with the question what is the matter
with the Police Department. Why is
it that the simplest and most neces-
sary ordinances are not only ignored
but contemporary violated? Let II
shake up dry bones and fear neither
opposition nor criticism.
1t is insistence and vigor which tell
in bodies as representative and strong
as the Sacramento Chamber. 1t has
the power and ability to infuse with
life and activity a number OF deao
and drag along departments OF city
Government, and now on the eve OF the
incoming Of a new administration Is
its OpportunitY.
