for seven years and in all that time
have had only one young man en-
ployed as clerk in the Recorders office
for two weeks, $50 was what it
amounted to, and $50 in six years isn't
very much"
You oughtn't object to that" said
Jenkins
You and Morrison retorted Curtis
''have had everything in the county
since I have been in the board.
guess I need expect nothing as long
as you and he are here
Curtis said he would support Nc
Laughlin's motion provided he would
move the clerk should hold his posi-
ton at the pleasure of the board.
Mclaughlin demurred, contending
that all appointments were at the
pleasure of the board and that such a
pOviso was unnecessary.
Curtis got back at Mclaughlin with
the statement that in case of former
appointments he had always stood a
stickler for the insertion of the pro-
viso.

thing of the kind ruminated Nc
Laughlin, "but it is possible that may
have done So"
well, 1 recollect it, returned Cur

vote for the motion, if not, I'll vote
against it. don't propose to make the
position a permanent one
"All right replied Mclaughlin, after
Eliminating some more. "Pll add the
proviso to my notion
And as so added to, the motion was
carried and Mr.. Cohn will appoint an
abstract clerk of his own choosing.
THEY WILL JUNKET.
Chairman Curtis suggested that in
the near future the board make trip
through the island section in the south
ern part of the county, and it was
agreed that on the meeting to be held
on the 18th instant, the date for maxi
ing such trip should be decided on.
And as it was 1870 D. M, the fore
noon session came to close.
SANITARY PETITION KILLED.
At the afternoon session Attorneys
Liggett & DAILY, representing the petit
TONERS for the formation of a sanitary
district at Oak Park, presented a pre-
pared order for calling an election in
the proposed district for the purpose
of establishing or rejecting the same,
and asked that it be issued and promul-
gated by the board, and a date fixed for
holding the election.
The petition was presented during
the July session, and action was post
poned to allow protestants to make
proof that the petition was faulty.
Attorney ]. F. Brown, representing
George c. Palmer, filed a written pro-
test against the issuance of the order,
setting forth that some of the signers
! of the petition were not residents and
| freeholders of the proposed district.
! The law governing the matter pro-
vides that upon presentation of a petit
| ton for the formation of such sanitary
district, signed by twenty-five resi-
dents and freeholders the Board of Su-
pervisors shall issue an order for the
holding of an election for the forma-
ton of such district Attorney Brown
signers of the petition were not resi-
sanitary district Mr. Palmer, Attor-
ney Brown said, was not opposed to
the formation of the district, but OBJ
jected to being arbitrarily taken into it.
Attorney Frank D. Ryan, represent
ing number of property owners, and
Attorney Ha tfield,rs representing the
Sacramento Electric, Gas and Rail-
way Company. also objected to the is
suance of the order on the grounds adj
vanced by Mr.. Brown. They contended
that investigation would show that less
than twenty-five of the petitioners
We're on the assessment roll.
1t was finally agreed to have the
assessment roll examined, and Deputy
Assessor Kay was pressed into service.
The examination showed that the fol-
lowing named signers of the petition
We're not freeholders on March LIST of
the present year: w. Baker, George
Blodgett, H. A. Becker, w. c. Curl,
G. W. Haines, W. w. Pearsons and H.
Whalen. In other words. it showed
that only twenty-four of the thirty-one
signers of the petition We're freeholders
on March list.
Attorney Ligget requested further
time in which to show that since March
1st one or more of the signers not on
the roll had acquired real estate in the
district.
Attorney Brown suggested such show
| ing would be worthless, inasmuch as
since March LIST some of the signers
who We're on the roll might have dis
posed of their property
| Attorneys Liggett & DAILY requested
| the board to postpone action until
Tuesday next to allow them time to
bring proof.
jenkins moved that the petition be
rejected on the ground that the assess
ment roll showed that the necessary
number of signers We're not freeholders,
and the motion was carried. ellis de-
clining to vote.

Jenkins moved that the Chairman. be
authorized to purchase from the immi-
grafton fund 500 worth of the county
advertising books, California Fruits
and Flowers" and distribute the same
in the interest of the State Fair. Most
of the books are held by the H. s.
Crocker Company. The motion was
carried.
