1--WE find the cups at the county
farm very unsanitary. We find
also that a contract is made with.
an undertaken to handle the county
indigents which is illegal and should
be righted. We also feel that a
doctor at the farm is sufficient and
that there should be no retainers
paid doctors outside of the county
farm and hospital.
"It is the feeling of the jury that
the superintendent of the county
farm should have full control of
the county farm and hospital. We
see no reason why we should not
have part pay patrons and also that
we should dispose of the surplus
produce, hay, etc., at the best price
which would lessen the expense at
the farm and hospital the report
said.
Fault was also found with the
manner in which county equipment
was kept at the farm, exposed to
the weather and it was found thai
the paper roof on the laundry was
off and the machinery exposed to
the weather which should be fixed.
Criticism of Hazel Livingston, re-
porter for the district attorney, was
found to be unjust and uncalled
for, according to this report which
stated that her work has been
found to be of the best. 1t states
that she has received no compen-
sation for work done to which she
has not been entitled and further
that she has paid only those who
have assisted her in her work &C
cording to an agreement between
herself and those she employs. It
was found that she is subject to call
both day and night to go out and
take affidavits, ETC., for the district
attorney and others who might need
a reporter and the fact that she is
also a notary makes it possible for
her to swear witnesses in affidaVits
taken.
1t is further stated that she never
charges for these affidavits OF for
calls, either by day or night, to go
out on these Investigations. The law
governing compensation of report
ers is provided for by the law of
the state and if it is too high it
should be amended by the state
legislature.

Earl G. Pound came before the

desert land entrymen relief. This
resolution seeks an extension of

discussion the resolution was adopt

GRAND JURY REPORT FLAYS
CONDITIONS AT COUNTY FARM

reporters compensation IS per
cent.
The report further states that
the grand jury had a preliminary
certified audit of the county books
and records up to December 81,
1882, and to that date found no
errors or exceptions in the books
and records which will be COM
pleted to the end of the year June
30, 1888, and final report made to
the grand jury.
1.-The statement that the COVER
nor would not sign the county
government act unless it was okay-
ed by the supervisors, has cost the
tax payers considerable money as
the grand jury made their findings
as of December Is, 1882, The jury
held that according to section 928
of the penal code, it is the duty
of the grand jury to set the sal
aries of the county officers and
that they were unable to find any
thing in this section wherein the
grand jury and the board of super
visors must concur, but as re-
quested by the governor, an effort
was made to concur with the board.
There is cited the case of the
three county government acts of
Mendicino county where the gov
ernor vetoed the bills but they were
passed over his veto by the senate
and the jury believes that this
would be done with their own
county government act.
A saving of about $4,000 per
year to tax payers of the county
was made by changes made in the
total salaries of county officers
beginning about July l of this
year. 1t is further stated that an
other saving of approximately $10,-
900 will be had by the require
ment that all fees are now to be
turned in by county officers in
stead of being retained by them as
was heretofore the case.
The report ends with the fol-
lowing statement: 1--WE, the grand
jury, for the tax payers, have tried
to be fair and impartial to all
county departments and employees
and have here set out only facts
as we find them and made recon-
mendations we believe to be for
the best interest of all concerned"

standing squarely behind the rec
concentrations they had made pre-
viously concerning arrangements
of salaries. For while 1t was
thought that there might pe a pcs
sibility that the supervisors would
consider making some changes but
this mornings action settled that
question decisively.
During yesterdays session the
board authorized It's chairman to
enter into contract with the state
department of agriculture for the
inspection of milk in the county for
the term July l, 1898, to June 80,
1894. This is the same contract
that is in force at present and &C
cording to its terms the department
will extend the full time services of
one official inspector to grade milk
and cream at the plants and diaries
of dairymen and creameries in the
county. This inspector will make
inspections and keep accurate rec
ords of them and the state further
agrees to initiate any action which
may be necessary under the laws of
the state to maintain a uniform
high standard of quality for such
milk or cream.
After authorizing this contract
the board adjourned for Is min
utes to meet with the grand jury.
Upon their return to the board
room, Sheriff Campbell appeared be-
fore them to seek some readiust-
ment in the present plans of the

adopted as it now stands, would

Must Pay Expenses
A resolution setting forth that
directors and officials of the dis
trict must pay their own expenses if
they make trips to combat or APP
prove legislation when it is not in
accord with the majority of the
board was presented. The resolu-
ton was presented by Young for
vote, was seconded by Rose and &C
cepted unanimously by the board.
1t was pointed out that this had
been the practice in the past.
One of the most interesting and
important discussions of the morn
ing took place concerning a plan to
trade land held by the district for
non-payment of assessments for
outstanding district bonds. Nothing
was decided as directors wished to
study the idea further.
Plans designed to secure a gov
eminent loan of $58,000000 for the
completion of between Is and 20
western projects led the board to
dicnotnh q talaorop, IN Dill n
Swing, former congressman who is
representing the district in Wash
ington, instructing him to COM
municate with those working for
the loan in the capital. It was ex-
planned that the projects asking for
the loan are similar to the ALL
American canal project and there
was possibility that the local
canal might be included. All the
projects are under the bureau of
reclamation as is the canal.
Swing already is in Washington
and a telegram from him was read
at this mornings session. He has
secured the promise of fullest CO.
operation from Senators Hiram
johnson and William Gibbs Nc
Adoo and Congressman George
Burnham. He also had talked with
Elwood Mead, commissioner of re-
clamation. Swing asked for an es-
innate on the number of men need
ed for work on the main canal and
on the Eastside-C oachella extern
sion.
Letter From Burnham
Letters from Congressman Burn
ham revealed that the SIS ,0OO, 900, 900
public works program is to be han
died by the federal unemployment
sterilization board and thus would
be important in plans to include the
All-American canal in the appro-
priation. AS yet, Burnham said, no
specific projects have been named
for inclusion. He said the public
works program probably would be
submitted to congress May IL. He
promised fullest cooperation and
asked to be kept informed as to the
desires of residents of the valley,
Legislation, soon to become law,
which would provide for $50,000,-
900 loan from the, Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to relieve
drainage difficulties in irrigation
districts, was discussed.
Addison Smith, former legisla-
tor, who worked with district Of
ficials in Boulder dam legislation,
wrote the board that the districts
application for a part of the loan
must be most carefully drawn and
presented by a person well informed
on the subject and familiar with
procedure necessary.
The board decided to act on the
advice given by Smith in an at
tempt to secure aid in relieving 10
cal drainage trouble.
