REPAIRS FOR AN EASEMENT.
Plan That Means an Ultimate Saving
for the State.

WOODLAND, Aug. 5.-The Sacramento
Chamber of Commerce seems to be alive
to the necessity of protecting the ease
ment, which did so much splendid work
last winter, and probably will institute an
inquiry by Attorney General Ford as to
the possibility of the use of any part of
the appropriation to keep the work al
ready accomplished in repair All this
doubt and confusion is due to the lapse
of the office of Commissioner of Public
Works, owning to the bungling work of
the last Legislature.
If the State Board of Examiners will
give assurance that the bills for material
and labor necessary to make the repairs
win be allowed, the late Commissioner
and Engineer Nurse will personally SUI
perintend and direct the work without
cost to the State. Assurances have been
received that the Controller will not OBJ
ject to such claims
