CITY AFFAIRS. A Plumbers' Squabble Over the Right to Water Taps. Application for Sj;r<-et Improvement Bonds—Saloon-Keepers Complain of Corner Groceries. W. A. Anderson appeared before the Board of City Trustees at its meeting yes terday, and presented an amendment to Ordinance No. 27G (the liquor license or dinance). He said its passage was asked by the Liquor Dealers' Association, which body wanted some protection against the corner groceries, whose proprietors could sell liquor by the bottle and escape pay ing the increased license. The amend ment provides that the minimum amount which they will be allowed to sell at one time is one gallon. Heretofore it was one quart. The ordinance was laid over under the rules. Miss Friedman, who resides on Fourth street, between O and P, complained that she was unable to put in a sewer from her house to the main sewer, owing to the objections of neighbors. The matter was referred to the Street Commissioner. iiiorßi.r: OVSB city water-taps. W. 11. Luelliug, a plumber of this city, presented • lone communication to the board. Hi- said hf: invested in a business in the city a year ago, not knowing that there was an ordinance in effect prohibit ing a man from obtaining a city tap un ■j was a master plumber. His ear ploye was v Brat-class plumber, who had passed an examination and received a certificate. He presented this in the Water Works office and asked for a tap, but was refused arid referred to A. M. Smith. The latter said he did not give taps on second grade certificates. Lnelling then went to Trustee Conklin, who re ferred him back to Smith and the Board of Health. Continuing. Lueliing said heeouid not see why Sin'.tli Lad so much to Bay about the city taps. He claimed that his man had passed a first-class examination, and Smith had an object in granting him a second-grade certificate. Ho thought it was done to shut him out, and it seemed to be a "one-man affair." Mr. Smith was present and said he acted as the ordinance directed. He wanted to read the ordinance t<> Mr. Lu elling. but the latter would not hear it. Lueliing said he had engaged a master plumber named Hays to do the work, and he v.as informed that this was in Violation Of the ordinance, and thut Hays vcos liable to have his certificate revoked. CHief Clerk Ooffey of the Water Works informed Mr. Conkhn that Hays had violated the ordinance. On the sugges tion <>f Mr. Conkliii, the entire man r was referred to the Board of Plumbing Examiners. REBATE OS REVOKED UCBNBSS. Clinton L. White suited to the board that it had revoked the liquor licenses of John Bowman and Mrs. Marcellus on account of the disorderly manner in which they conducted their houses, but these people had not yet received their money back. They had paid for licenses three months m advance, and under the ordinance they were entitled to receive back more than two-thirds of what they had paid. Since paying for the last license they had only conducted their saloous twenty-six days. Auditor Young said that the reason why the money v.as not refunded was because no claim or bill had been put in, and he never made out a warrant unless there was a claim. Mr. White held that the parties ought not :o bo compelled to present a claim! Mr. Conkliii suggested that the Mayor make out a claim for the parties named ami that i.he bills be allowed. It was .so ordere !. The board was informed that Bowman was still conducting his saloon, even though his license had been revoked. At this Trustee McLaughlin grew wrathy. He wanted to know what the police wore doing, and thought the proper thing would be to order the Chief of to come before the board and ex plain why he was neglecting his duty. IMI'UoYKMK.NT BONOS IN DEMAND. A communication was received from the California state Bank offering to pur chase (10,000 worth of Sacramento Street Improvement Bonds. The offer was ac cepted. llll'.V. VPATEB roSAGKXCCI.Tr/BAIi PARK. G. W. Hancock addressed the board on the subject of furnishing free water to the horsemen who keep stock in Agri cultural Park. Heretofore, he said, water Mas furnished free, but the intention now was to charge for it. He did not think this was right, nnd many of the horse men had said that they would leave the town with their stock rather than pay water rent. He thought it would be poor policy for the board to drive them from ity, for they spent considerable money here. Trustee Conklin said he thought the peoplo inside the park ought to pay for water an well as those on the outside. There were many stables just outside the park that were paying for water. On the suggestion of Trustee McLaugh lin. the entire matter was left in the hands of the Superintendent of the r Works. A recess was taken till 2 o'clock. AFTBBKOOH SK.SSION. Nd bills for hack hire for the po lice department were referred to the Mayor for investigation. An order was made for the improve ment of Eighth street, from E to G. •^ui. y was awarded the con tract for improving the Front-street levee from V to V streets, in accordance with his bid submitted at the last meeting of the board. It was decided to hold a special meeting on Wednesday evening to consider the matter of riprapping in connection with the work. Trustee McLaoffhlin reported favor ably on the petition for grading S street, from Eighth to Eleventh, and a resolu tion ot' intention to do t«he work was passed. Grove L. Johnson, who was special counsel for the city in the case of E. Pierce against the "latter, submitted a claim lor 9500 for his services, which was ordered paid. Mr. Johnson also submitted a commu nication on the subject of the Pierce case, advising the board to use due diligence in the proposed work on the Y-street levee, to the end that no possible or assumed ground for complaint similar to that of Pierce might sjri OFFICIAL REPORTS.

STILL IN DOUBT. Kb Place Yet Agreed Upon for Tempo rary Police Quarters. The Board of Education formally noti fied tho City Trn*t«M fmtndts ttw SACRAMENTO PAIT.Y REOOKD-tryiOy, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1891.—StX PAOES. had unanimously decided to deny tho re quest to allow the city to use the Perry Seminary building for a jail. Trustee McLaughlin suggested that the board send the communication back to the School Directors. They had held the Seminary building for ten years, and had no use for it. He was in favor of compelling them to give up the posses sion. The Mayor said he had examined the building, and the one at Fifth and I streets. He thought the former ot suited for the purposes of ft jail. It was too dark, and there was not enough room. He believed the building at Fifth and I streets was a good one, ana suggested that a carpenter be hired to ex amine it and find out if it was well built and strong. Mr. McLaughlin said he was not pre pared to vote at present for any particu lar place. He wanted a week's further time in which to examine all of the buildings. The matter was therefore laid over again for one week. SWIMMING BATHS. They Will bo Closed To-day for the "Winter. The Board of Directors of the Sacra mento Swimming Bath Association held Us regular monthly meeting last night. After transacting the regular routine business and hearing the monthly report of the Superintendent, it was decided to close the baths for the winter, as the patronage does not warrant keeping open longer. During the past month the re ceipts were not as large as tho expendi tures, but for the season there was a 1 km><lsome margin in favor of the asso ciation. The board decided to make an effort to sell sufficient additional stock during the winter to make certain improvements which will materially reduce the running expenses and at the same time enable them to give the public hotter service. It was ordered that the building be placed in charge of the Secretary while it re mains closed, and kept occupied, so that the property will be protected. RAIN DUE TO-DAY. The Weather Bureau Says Wo Should Have It by This Noon. The Weather Bureau's reports show the barometer to have changed but very little yesterday. The readings at sa. ic and 5 r. m. were 30.10 inches and 30.11 inches respectively. There is a low barometer on the northwest coast from Eureka up to the Straits of Juan do Fuca, with rain falling in Washington, Oregon and northwestern California. The highest and lowest temperatures yesterday were 71° and 48°, with light and variable winds and a cloudy sky. The highest and lowest temperatures one year ago yesterday were 78° and 44°, and one year ago to-day, 77° and 42°. The flags displayed in this city yester day, by order of Lieutenant Finley, indi cated a warmer temperature and rain be fore noon to-day. ALIEN PISH POACHERS. With Set Nets They are Destroying the River Perch. It is said that a Kanaka fisherman is in the habit of nighfly violating the fishing law at Sacramento Slough, near Fremont, a few miles up the Sacramento River. The law prohibits tho use of sot nets, but this fellow goes to the slough at night, sets his net across it, and hauls it in in the morning before daylight. .Sacramento Slough is a great breeding place for perch, and the fishermen who obey the law complain loudly of the ac tion of this alien poacher and his com rades, who are rapidly exterminating that valuable species of fish. There is no resident Deputy Fish Com missioner hereabouts, as there should be, to see that the laws are observed and all violators thereof punished. The State Board should give this matter prompt at tention. Votlnjr Booths lor the Election. City Clerk Young has been instructed by tho Trustees to advertise for plans and proposals for the construction of booths to be used at the ensuing city and future elections. Parties bidding on the same should study the law carefully. As these booths are to be used at many elections, they should be so constructed that they can be readily put together and taken down. In uther places where booths are used they are put up in a few minutes. Hero is an opportunity for some of our inventive geniuses to distinguish them selves, by planning a system of booths that will be both cheap, readily fitted, and easily handled. .Estate ofßov. C. Taubner. EL J. Goethe and A. Meister have filed in the Superior Court a joint petition for letters testamentary ou the estate of the late Carl Taubner. The petitioners aver that tho estate consists of notes, secured by mortgages on Kansas real estate, of the value of Si',OtX); money of the sum of §2,51S 8U; personal property of the value of ?SU. The will states that deceased has no next of kin, and the legatees named are A. Meister, 11. J. Goethe, Mary E. Tryou, Jacob Ankener and wife and Victor Noble. Tho witnesses to the will were M. Miller and B. Bteinauer. Relief for the Poor. The report of the Board of Directors of the Howard Benevolent Association for the month of October shows that there have been assisted during the month 2G men, 55 women and 87 children, making a total of 168 uersous assisted by the grant ing of 945 grocery dispensations, 205 arti cles of clothing of tho estimated value of $54 GO; 3l» miscellaneous orders of the estimated value of 035; 28 wood orders, costing $70 50; 18 rents paid, costing §72; 25 pairs of shoes of the value of §30 25; 2 railroad fares, costing §2 75, and a large amount of clothing distributed.

A Plate of Beans and Pile of Sand wiches Do Not Go. Saloon-keepers Cannot Evade the Mld nJght-closins Ordinance by Re sorting to the Trick. Our City Trustees have back-bone enough, even if they do not display it very often. They gave evidence of this fact yesterday by refusing to issue special licenses to certain saloon-keepers to run their places after midnight simply be cause they set out a few crackers and beans for their patrons. A. J. Senatz complained to the Trustees yesterday that many of the saloon pro prietors in town were running a so-called restaurant business after midnight, in or der to evade the ordinance requiring so loona to close at that hour. They put out big signs offering meals for a trilling sum, aud when a person entered there was nothing but an ordinary saloon lunch-counter. It was done simply to evade the license law. He (Senate) had run a respectable restaurant for twenty years, and it was not just to him to allow the evasion referred to. He paid a special water license for his restaurant, and was willing to wager that the saloons did not. All they had to do was to put a couple of boiled eggs and a few sandwiches behind the counter and they got a restaurant license. George Schorling and the proprietor of the Ei Dorado Saloon wero present, and they claimed that they were running res taurants. It did not matter what they charged for meals. They furnished them at all hours, and wore willing to pay the special water license. Mayor Cotttstocl said he wanted the ordinance strictly enforced, and Trustee Conklin said he guessed the police ought to bo able to tell the difference between restaurants and saloons. The further discussion of the matter was deferred until the afternoon session. At the afternoon session tho Mayor said lie had seen Chief of Police Drew in regard to the matter referred to him of reporting as to whether or not the after midnight lunches set out by certain saloon-keepers who claim to be running "restaurants" were legally such. The Chief, he said, declined the responsibility of deciding the question. The matter came up for action on the application of John Schoxiing for a spec ial license to keep his saloon open after midnight in connection with an eating stand. Mr. Senatz suggested that the board make a general order to cover the wholo matter. He did not think it right to giant a lit-ense in one case and refuse it in another. Fither repeal the midnight ordinance altogether, or refuse to allow anyone to keep his saloon open under pretense of running a restaurant by sim ply providing a lunch-table for patrons. Mayor Comstock said that, in order to bring the matter to a head, he would move that the application be refused. He in cluded in his motion all similar applica tions. The motion was carried unanimously, and tho Mayor remarked, "All you gen tlemen have to do now is to close at mid night." At midnight last night the police were out closing all saloons that were not en titled, to keep open, and arresting such proprietors as persisted in doing so. REDUCED RATES. Tlie New Livestock Schedule on tho Plaeervlile ltoud. At a meeting of the Kail road Commis ! sioners, held in San Francisco yesterday, ! a new schedule of freight rates on live stock on the Placerville Railroad was adopted. Tho following table shows the rate as ordered for cattle by the carload of 120,000 pounds from different points to Sacra mento, to Oakland stocK yards and to San Francisco.

A I'RIVATE SWITCH- A letter from General Superintendent Fillmore of the Southern Pacific was read relative to a request of certain El Dorado County petitioners for a new switch one and one-quarter miles northeast of Lat robe. Air. Fillmore says the location of the proposed switch is near two existing switches at Latrobe and at Bryant's, and these, in his judgment, arc" more convenient than the one asked for would be. Both are on the county road, and to put in the one proposed "would bring them entirely too close to each other. He adds. "I understand that the first signer of the petition, Louis Caflaro, isthei>erson who really wants the switch, and that the rest are in a. friendly way endeavoring to help him out, they not having any par ticular interest in it. If Mr. Catfaro wishes a spur track put in for his private use, we are ready to do the same for him as we do for ail others, namely, at his expense. Under the < ircumstances I respectfblly ask your honorable body to advise these petitioners that you remse to ask tiic Southern Pacific Company to put in th:s switch at its own expense." Mr. Litchfield moved that ihe switch be put in under the usual conditions ex acted by the company; that is, the defray ing, hy those interested, of the cost of material, etc. The motion was carried.

Diviny; Vice-President, Scott Ennis; Secretary, Wm. Bryant; Treasurer, Win. Kellogg; Executive Committee. Miss Nettie Cantrell, Miss Mollie Tithington and Samuel Pope. As a solution of the street-rubbish burning problem, how would it do for the Trustees to pass an ordinance per mitting bonfires up to, say, 3 o'clock in tho afternoon ? The chief trouble comes from tires that are allowed to burn after that hour, when the atmosphere becomes heavy and the smoke does not rise, but invades the houses. Installation of Officers.
