PROTECTING COUNTY PROPERTY

The grand jury that met this week
has again emphasized the need OF
some action being taken by the
supervisors toward protecting the
walls of the court house and hall of
records against damage from the
weather. This question has been
standing subject of recommendation
by successive grand juries for many
years past, and it is a matter of sur
prise not only to grand jurors but
also to citizens generally, that fav-
orable action has been so long de-
layed. There is no dispute regard
ing the necessity Of painting or ce-
menting the outside walls. That the
buildings have never been attended
to heretofore is no argument in fa-
vor of continuing the same policy of
neglect. Serious damage has been
sustained, and every seasons de-
lay adds to the mischief. No tax
payer can object to the proper pro-
lection Of county buildings every
taxpayer will mentally protest
against damage from iuexcusable
neglect. No doubt financial, and
perhaps political reasons to some ex-
tent, have prevented the carving
out of this improvement. The cost
of painting the two buildings will
amount to considerable, and super
visors have hesitated to embark\in
the undertaking because of the in
creased tax levy it might entail
1t appears, however, that there re-
mains in the general redemption
fund an uneXpended balance of about
$17O0. This fund is for the redemp-
tion of outstanding county warrants
issued thirty years ago. There has
been no claim presented against this
fund for the past eight years. The
PROBABILITY is that most of these
outstanding warrants have been lost
or destroyed, and that few will ever
turn up for payment. Anyway, there
is no sense in keeping this money
locked up in the treasury Indefinitely
waiting for these belated warrants.
Some time back $1,000 of this money
was transferred to the current ex-
pense fund. 1t has not been, and no
doubt will not be, returned, unless
necessity arises therefor There
still remains $679 in this fund. Now
the suggestion is made to use this
money for the purpose of making
the Improvements to county build
ings. 1t may not be enough to pay
the entire cost, but the deficiency
can easily be made up from other
sources. We hope this plan will be
adopted, aad the annual and we'll

Largest Grape Vine in California

-
During their recent tour in the
southern part of the state, the Lind
burg Photo Co. took several pictures
of the celebrated big grape vine at
Carpentaria, near Santa. Barbara. It
was planted in 1884. by the old mission
fathers, and the land on which it grows
is now owned by J. T. Wilson of Santa
Barbara. The vine has reputation
among viticulturalists all oyer the
world, so much SO that the manager of
the recent exposition at Buffalo, N. Y,
offered Mr.. Wilson $4,000 for it, as it
now stands, for the purpose of placing
it on exhibition there, which offer.
however, Mr.. Wilson refused. Its
diameter at the base is 2 feet 5 Inches:
the circumference being feet. Its
limbs cover over quarter of an acre.
being trained on poles, and overhead
trellis work some II feet, from the
ground. 1t is of the old Mission, or
California" variety, and last year no
less than 10 tons of grapes were har-
vested from it, for which it's fortunate
owner received $500 from an adjacent
winery. In early days it also, served
from time to time, as a court house,
church, school-house, convention hall,
dance hall and picnic grounds: being
used in common for. those purposes by
people of all classes, rich and poor.
This vine is the. second largest in the
world, only being surpassed by one at
Hampton court palace, London, which
is grown under glass, covers s. acres,
and was planted by George I in 1859.
