COUNCIL TAKES STEPS
TO TRIM THE TREES.

The city council met in adjourned
session last night upon call of the
mayor, with Aldermen Bell, Carlton,
Cummins, Rhea, Wiseley and Wyllys
in their seats and Mayor Richardson
presiding. The matter OF trimming
the trees in Roswell was probably the
most important matter of the ses-
sion, and was really the cause of the
call being issued. After due discus
sion it was decided that the trees
ought to be trimmed at the top to
prevent the cotton nuisance next sum-
mer and from the bottom to enable
people to pass along the sidewalks
with safety. The result was reached
when the mayor and streets and al
leys committees were instructed and
empowered with the authority to dc
this work without cost to the city.
A plan has been hit upon py which the
work will be done for the wood Of the
large limbs that are Topped off, the
trimmers to receive the wood for their
work. Thus, the work will cost the
city nothing and the property owners
nothing more than the wool of the
large limbs that are taken from the
trees.
Much of the time of the session was
taken up in the discussion of a new
sanitary ordinance.
The resignation of John w. Thomas
as alderman from the First Ward, was
read and accepted. the council giving
a vote of thanks to Mr.. Thomas for
his patriotic and efficient services as
a public official. Mr.. Thomas is in
receipt of strong letter from Mayer
Richardson, stating that he regrets
very much to lose him from the coun-
ell and speaking of his appreciation
| of Mr. Thomas work, especially as
chairman of the finance committee,
for which he wishes 1t we're legally
possible for the city to give him wal
rant for 81 900 as partial payment fol-
his services.

San Francisco, Jan. 15.-Floods re-
sulting from the heavy and continu-
Gus rains of the past week, have done
considerable damage in the river val
leys in this state and have seriously
crippled railroad communication. All
the bridges over the American river
are out of commission and cannot be
repaired for several weeks. No trains
are running on the east side of Sacra-
mento, but travel on the west side is
not interrupted. Sacramento City has
not suffered any damage and none is
anticipated. Reports from the San Joa.
quin valley, which is threatened with
inundation, are reassuring although
portions of Visilia and Porterville are
flooded. Heavy rains in the Sierras,
with precipitation of 1920 inches
have been reported in the last four
days, the melting of the SHOWS in the
mountains, however, being the chief
cause of the rise of the rivers. Warm
weather has prevailed for several
days.
Baker Springs is reported to be un,
der four feet of water.
The Crest Is At Baker Springs.
Baker Springs, Jan. 15.-The flood
here reached the crisis before mid
night last night and is subsiding, al
though there is still much anxiety and
excitement. A large force of men has

being flooded.

1rskins for judgment, with the result |
rs stated yesterday.
Mr.. Ryan states that If the Griggs /
