The Board of City Trustees met in reg ular session last night, Law ton, Wach horst, Kent, Davis, Bragg, Devine, Tozer, Leonard and Pennish being present. Communications from the Mayor were received as follows, read and placed on tiie: DREW'S SALARY SUIT. Sacramento, April 23,1891 To the Board of Trustees: 1 hereby no tify your houorable body that an action has been commenced by Warren F. Drew against the city of Sacramento to recover judgment for the sum of $_,sco and interest amounting to $_41 93, mak ing a total of ?"0,7.i 93 alleged to be due to him from the city for salary as Chief of Police from tne Ist day of April, 18:_, un til the 6th day of March, 18l_ The sum mons and copy of complaint were served upon me this morning. The city, there fore, has ten days from this date in which to appear and plead to ihe complaint. In this connection 1 desire to call the attention of your board to the necessity of employing special counsel to attend to this case, as well as to such other busi ness as tbe city may irom time to time have. Iv the past the city has always employed special counsel for these cases, and for other special matters involving the examination of constitutional ques tions, it being an undoubted fact that the City Attorney has his hands full in at tending to the criminal business of the Police Court, and to other necessary work. Subdivision fortieth oi Section _5 of the charter provides that the Board of Trus tees shall have power to authorize the Mayor to employ, in addition to the City Attorney, an attorney-at-law at a salary not to exceed *_i,500 a year, and whose duty it shall be to aavise the city ollicials and attend to all civil suits and other matters in which the city may be legally interested. i therefore ask that your board pass a resolution authorizing me to employ an attorney pursuant to the provisions ofthe charter above set forth, aud that it be done at once, so that attention may be given to the case against the city above mentioned. .Respectfully submitted, B. L. Steinman, Mayor. PROTECTION UF SCHOOL PROPERTY. Sacramento, April 23, l_9_ To the Board of Trustees: A request has been made to me that XV. M. Page, janitor of tha Capital Grammar School, be appointed special policeman lor that locality, as complaint is made that boys are in tho habit of congregating in that vicinity and doing more or less damage to property, as well as intimidating school teachers. As the request is one that should be granted, i recommend that your board create the position, and when this is done the janitor can be appointed to till the same, by aud with your consent, li-speclfully submitted, B. L*. mkinman, Mayor. ONE KOBE POLICEMAN". S.vi liAMKMo, April 23, lb'.H. To the Board of Trustees: 1 hereby nominate, und by and with your consent 1 hereby appoint the following named persons to the following named otlices and positions: L. li. lsham to be a member of the permanent police force, pursuant to tue ordinance increasing tbe same lrom six teen to seventeen members, this day ap proved.

Respectfully submitted, B. L*. Steinman, Mayor. 1 Nl.awfi _ use of WATER. Sacra memo, April 23, _884. To the Board of Trustees: 1 desire to call the attention of your board to the fact that Ordinance No. 21_, which provides that no person shall use, or cause to be used, any city water ior the purpose of irrigation except between the hours from [> to y p. M. and from sto y a. ML, except at the City Cemetery, State Capitol and City Fiaza, is openly violated by numer ous persons who pose as good citizens. Ttlere is also another ordinance which is extensively violated by many people. Section 1 of tbe ordinance to which I have reference reads as follows: "It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to open any hydrant, except for tire pur poses, alter an alarm of lire is .made, or to use any water from any hydrant, either for street sprinkling or irrigation, during the progress of a lire; and all hydrants that may be open for either of the above purposes when an alarm is made must be immediately closed by the person who opened them or have them in charge, and not again opened uut i the tire (if there be one) is extinguished." Both of these ordinances were enacted for the public good, and the compliance with them would undoubtedly give an adequate water supply at tires. As a great many people seem to be in ignor ance of these ordinances, I respectiully suggest and recommend that your board take some means of giving publicity to them, either by having them published in the papers or causing circulars contain ing these ordinances to be mailed to eacii water-taker in the city. Respectfully ■übim-ted, B. U. Steinmax, Mayor. ORDINANCE APPROVED. Sacramento, April 'Si, 1894. To the Board of Trustees : 1 herewith transmit to your honorable body, with my approval indorsed thereon, Ordi nance No. —, entitled, "An ordinance authorizing the appointment of a perma nent police force, and determining the number of members thereof." Respect fully submitted, B. U. Steinman, .Mayor. other matters. Communications were also received from the Mayor on the following sub jects: Transmitting a copy of the telegram from C. P. Huntington, President ofthe Southern Paciiic Company, relative to transportation tor the unemployed who are desirous of going to the East. Also, calling attention to the necessity for a new gate at tho entrance to the New Helvetia Cemetery. Also, notifying the board of the resigna tion of William Harris as Hoaeman of Kugiue Company No. o. and the nomina tion of Charles Addison to the vacancy. Devine, of the Street Committee, stated that he foresaw that considerable repair ing would be done on the streets, and he had noticed that the Oak Knoll gravel was the best that had been used on the atreets. He moved that the Street Super intendent be authorized to haul gravel from the pits there. It was so ordered. In accordance with the opinion of the City Attorney—that, in order to submit the question of the construction of a sew erage system, tiie rirst step would be to Eass an ordinance stating that it would c for the interest ol the city to construe; such system and giving an outline of the plan—Pennish introduced such an ordi nance, which was passed aud ordered in both.the daily papers. On motion of Kent, the Levee Commit tee was instructed to have the fence ou the south side of the Y-street levee. lro:;i "Eleventh to Twenty-eighth, raised and improved, so as to make a safeguard for horses and cattle. Davis of the Water Committee reported in regard to a petition to enlarge the water main in the alley between N and O, Twentieth aud Thirty-first, tbat it was found that by cbauging the hours for the sprinkling the present main would accommodate the residents as well as fur nish water for the sprinklers. At present some portions of the city have no mains, and he thought those should have mains first. Davis further presented the opinion or tlio City Attorney as to who wraft entitled to employ a machinist to make repairs en tbe Water Works machinery. The opinion, which was read, stated that in lis opinion the board had not violated my provision of the charter. The board nad decided that no such otlice was needed as machinist, ihoioiore there was no position which the Mayor mold till by appointment. Bach .being the lad, In Ins opinion the board had acted within Lhe scope of its authority. Iv relation to the recommendation of the Mayor that a map showing ail taps iiici connections of water pipes bo made, it was ordered that "block books" be pre pared showing all such connections. SUNDAY uKIUNAXi ■_•>. A. L. llart introduced an ordinance, which he requested should be passed, prohibiting bakers from delivering bread, etc., on Sundays, under penalty of line and imprisonment. Leonard hoped that the board would havo nothing to do with passing the oidi uauce in such shape, if the bakers do not wish to work, they are not compelled Lo do so. The barbers do not keep open on Sunday simply because they have re solved among themselves not to do so. Kent said he Wished to examine into the ordinance before he voted on it. Several of the board favored tho pas sage of the ordinance, but the matter was dually laid over for oue week. A petition of meat-market proprietors for a similar ordinance lor butchers took lhe same course. ST-tEET RAILWAY FBAXC-flS—i L. T. Hatfield stated that the street rail way company | Messrs. Gallatin aud Livermore) had presented a bid for a franchise on J street, between Second iuu Third. An opinion from the City Attorney was received saying that if the proper steps in advertising for bids had beeu takeu he saw uo objection to the {ranting of a franchise. The bid of Gallatin and Livermore was read, as well as the proposed ordinance. The Did provides for the payment oil per cent, of the gross receipts to the city, as under the Third-street franchise, and in event oi the franchise being granted, will simply result in abandoning the Third-street road from J street to the depot and the running of all cars to the depot by way ol Second street. Tozer moved that the ordinance be Kent suggested that if the company would employ white men for its laborers it would be better for the city. lie thought that it would be weii lor the board to withhold this franchise until the company should discharge the Japanese employed by them at Last Park aud em ploy white meu in their places. Mr. Hattield stated that the railway company did not own i"ast Park. Several other Trustees agreed with C. A. Luhrs, in behalf ol* the business men of the city, asked the board to ; iss the ordinance and remove the present road from Chinatown, which so disgusts strangers who come to our cit}-. This change of road will build up property and the refusal to grant it will work n<» injury to the railway company, buL only to the citizens. Leonard said that if refusing the fran chise would damage the company, or compel them to employ white meu, he would vote lor it, but tho proposed change was of more benefit to the city than to the company. Mr. Hatfield said that the company em ploys only white men. The Japanese employed at last Park are outside the city and are employed by the contractor who is doing the work. The ordinance granting the franchise was then passed by a vote of 7 to _, Kent aud JDevinu voting no. plaza MEBTIKa. Leonard stated that a delegation from the shops had asked him to request the board to allow the use of the Plaza for ■ meeting to-night (Tuesday) in sympathy witn the unemployed now at Agricult ural Park. The permission was granted. SI'LLKT M'I.INKLINO. Bids for sprinkling the various dis tricts of the city were men opened. There were nine districts, and were awarded as follows: First district, P.

Hart addressed the board ou tho question of the payment of the city's gas bills, lie recited the provisions of the law governing the procedure of paying bills and also the mandamus proceedings. He stated that the City Attorney had raised tho point that the board had ap proved the bills since the Auditor had refused to audit them. He suggested that the board should pass oue of the bills and if the Auditor refused, lie (.Hart would mandamus him aud bring the matter into the court as a test. One of the bills, amounting to $25, was passed by the necessary six votes, Wach horst and Davis declining to vote aud Leonard voting no. PKINTINU OF POLICE BULKS. The bids for the printing of the police rules were taken up, a resolution adopting them and ordering them printed having been lirst passed. Tbe bids were referred to the Police Committee with power lo act. STf.LET-IMPROVEMENT BIDS. The bids for improving Second street were referred to the Street Committee, to report at the adjourned meeting. SIS-NO'S BXPORT. The Secretary read Professor Rising's report on his analysis of the water of the wells which have been bored cast of the city for the purpose of furnishing clear water to the residents. The report was laid over oue week. The request of the Superintendent of Cemeteries that he be allowed ten men for ten days to clean up tho cemetery for Decoration Day was allowed, the Mayor to appoint them. Tiie board then adjourned till Thurs day night. WEATHER AND CROPS. | The Dry Spoil Disastrous: to Grain Crops—The Fruit All Rl_rht. The average temperature during the week ending April 28d was: For San Francisco, 54 c; Eureka, G4:; Red Bluil*. .4 ; Sacramento, Go ; Fresno, oG°; Los Angeles, t'.J ; Ban Diego, f>8 J. As com pared with the normal temperature there was a deficiency oi heat at San Francisco Oi - and at San Diego of 1", while an ex cess of heat over the normal was reported at Eureka of 7 i which appears lo be an i error In the telegram;; Red Bluff, 3 ; (Sacramento,:.-; Fresno, :-J°, aud Los An j geie.-, 1 . This excess oi heat over the Sacramento j and San Joaqain Valleys, along with tho continuous drying northerly winds and j the lack of rain, has very much intensi ; lieu the need of moisture, and all cereal crops, pasturage and hay are ranidly j reaching that point irom which recuper ation is impossible, exoeotto a tew favor able spots in the Sacramento Valley. During the early part ol the week light frosts were reported over the greater portiou of the State north of the Tehacha pi range oi mountains. However, very little damage has resulted therefrom to ' the fruit prospects, which are extremely : good. The cherry crop is reported to be the largest in many years. This extremely and unusually dry spell j continues and bakes the ground so hard that summer fallowing had to be aban doned, as also the cultivation of the vine yards and orchards, all of which sutler to some extent thereby. The outlook is certainly very serious ; for the gram aud hay crops, and for pasturage also, which has caused a great ! portiou oi the State to look more like i the condition in August, rather than April. The highest and lowest temperatures ; were 102 s near Tulare, and 88° at Agar, in Siskiyou County. The slight rainfall on Saodav in the ! coast counties from Los Angeles to Hum j boldt did no good, as the amount was too small to be beneficial. For Over-indulgence CSS noRSFOBD's acid ruosruATE.

WHEN SHALL THE ARMY MARCH? The Men Appeal For Help to Pay Their Fare. They Regard Mr. Huntington's Propo sition as Fair—Meeting Called For To-Nlght. The situation in the Industrial Army at | Agricultural Park is becoming more and . more complicated, Colonel Inman and ! his officers of the Industrial Army called j yesterday morning upon Mayor Stein j man to see if he would consent to aid j them in getting out of the city. They stated that they had realized some I $tio through collections iv the churches | on Sunday, which would be augmented by the donations of citizens, aud re quested him to allow them to circulate a petition requesting the Trustees to pro vide means for them to leave. Tho Mayor told them he should de cidedly object to the circulation of any such petition. People, he said, would sign j anything iv the shape of a petition on j any subject, and it would simply result ! in putting the Trustees in an unpleasant '■ position. The men who were asking for : assistance had never contributed one | cent to the payment of taxes here. They were not asked to come to this city, aud i havo no claim on it. lie advised them to ! telegraph to U. P. Huntington and ask him if ho would not make arrangements i to transport tliem cheaply to the Last. The committee decided to follow that j course, and lelt. Colonel Inman at once i sent a telegram to President Huntington I of tho Southern Pacific Company, and j Mayor Steinman received the following i from Mr. Huntington in reply thereto: MX. hintinc.ton's REPLY. San I'i;an Cisco, April 'Ski, _i OP. M. 11. n. Ji. U. Steinman, Mayor, Sacra mento: 1,. Inman, Colonel of tho Army i of the Unemployed, telegruphed me ask i ing, by your request, the cheapest price I for 300 men iv box cars to Ogden. Wnde i the Southern Paciiic Company would I like to accommodate the unemployed, it could not send them to Ogden for less than regular rates. Although we do not think we ought to send SUO men to that town, where there is less population and less resources than you have, whilo I provisions are higher, we will take our | pro rata of any rate that auy oi the roads ! east of Ogden wiil carry them for and ! land them in Chicago or St. Louis, where the great population of those places will absorb, so to speak, these 300 men, a vi where it wiil not be so great a tax upon the people as it would be upon the towns this siae of the Missouri. They could also probably reach their homes or get among their friends more easily from I those citios, as 1 take it they aro not Caii- I forniana, but are mostly men who have i drifted here from the East during tho last 1 year. C. P. HenTIJtGTON. Whilo this telegram, at first glance, I might appear disappointing to the army, [ ite wisdom and kindly spirit will be ap- I predated alter a moment's consideration. : Mr. Huntington is well aware of the I difficulties encounter 3d by tho tirst regi ment on its arrival at Ogden, as well as the proceedings in court agaiust the ; Southern Paciiic Company. Readers of the Recoed-Unios are all ; familiar with the proceedings by which i it was sought to punish the compauy for I carrying the men to Ogden, the injunc- I tion issued to compel it to remove the I men from the Territory, the calling out j of the militia, and the hardships to which | the men were subjected. Naturally, Mr. iiuntington is anxious j to avoid a repetition of these troubles. He | points out the injustice that would be i done to Ogden by sending these men to j that place unless arrangements can be | made witii other companies to carry them ' farther East. He loaves it to those com panies to Ux any rate they please, and says his company will accept its pro rata of any rate fixed as its compensation. His proposition is certainly a fair oue, and he evidently has a most kindly and sympathetic loeling for the men. Inquiry aud interviews prove that ho is also right in ins conjecture tiiat most of the men are from the Last, and simply desire to return to their homes. iIIINKS THK OILER FAIR. lv regard to the dispatch from C. P. Huntington, Colonel Inman last evening said : "If Mr. Huntington means that he will accept lor transporting us his share ofthe rate that the other roads will lix, no mat ter how small, I think his proposition is fair and just and in line with what he did ior the hrst part of tho army." BEFORE THIS TRUSTEES, Colonel Inman, in tbe evening, ad dressed the City Trustees on behalf of the Industrial Army,saying that he was sorry to trespass upon the time of the Board, i but it was a ease of starvation. The ob j jective. point of the men is Washington. j 1 heir primary desire, however, is to get \ home to their iriends, as thoy are all East ern men, stranded here, but who can be ! helped and taken care of if they can roach their homos. Their funds amount to be tween $100 ands2oo, contributed by work } iogmen of this city. He believed that ! the railroad company owed the city some | money lor taxes, and he wished to know il a pari of it could not be used to help j the army. It had been suggested, he said, that the I men seize a train, but they did not pro- I pose to do anything against the law. It i had aiso been said that the best thing ! they could do was to disband. He did not think so. if thoy did so, thoy would simply spread out over the country and bo forced ultimately to drift back here and beg. If they did this they would be arrested and would have to be led while in jail—not ior crime, but because they were in want. He had taken a vote of the men as to whether, if some iarge work were being done and they weie given a chance to work at lair wages they would accept it, and they had unani mously answered yes. All they ask is a chance to work and to earn for them selves a living. Several of the Trustees made remarks on the subject, and a committee, consist ing of the Mayor, President ot the board and Trustee Devine, was appointed to see ! what could bo done for the men. Colonel Inman then asked that, while [ the matter was pending, his men bo | allowed to work on tho streets enough to j pay for their food, but it was stated that il could not be done without taking the work away lrom the men already en gaged it it. AUAINST .IMS AND CHINESK. At a meeting of tho Council of Feder ated Trades last night the following reso lution was adopted: ttesotoed, That we, the Sacramento Council of Federated Trades, having learned that a number ol Japanese are employed at Fust Park by the ownersof the property, feel it our duty, in justice to the American citizen* and t:,e" Army of the Unemployed, to protest most emphatically against such Injustice.
