4 a ° i * She Duily Granscvipt, NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. — WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1868. ROAD MATTERS. —We are indébted to Mr. White for a copy of his roadbill which is. designed. to establish a county. It provides for the election of a Road Overseer. for the:-county at the same time Presidential Electors are ~ hoses, to hold his office until the next “@lection for county officers. “ Within fifteen days after his election the Com~ missioner is required to Jay off and divide the county roads by sections not ‘exceeding three miles.in length. These are to be numbered and des¢ribed in-e book to be called the “Road Book of: Nevada County.” He must specify what he shall deem necessary for the improvement and repair of public roads, and after he has completed this work he must submit his report to the Board of Supervisors, A majority of the Board may modify the report and give their written approval. Five days after, the officer is required to give notice of a time and place for meetings in the several townships where the sections of road for repair or keeping in order will be sold out to ‘the lowest bidder for the term of two years, and’ if no ~ public bid is made the Commissioner is authorized to let a private contract.— The Commissioner is prohibited from being interested in any contract. If contractors shall refuse or neglect to comply with their agreements within ten days after notice from the Commissioner, the work may’ be done. and the ~ The Commissioner is required to in_. Cost. recovered from the contractor.— . ~“ppect the roads once in three — and if the work is being done accortting to contract, he may draw an order on the County Treasurer for the amount due contractors. . The Commissioner—is required to keep.an account of all sums due toany and all contractors and the orders drawn upon the fund, and to make a quarterly report to the Super~~ “visors of all transactions in his office.— He is also empowered to inspect and report upon the condition of toll roads _ and bridges, and to require owners to keep them in good order. On failure 80 to do, the Board of Supervisors. are authorized to suspend the right to collect tolls. : Ra) To sustain roads, a poll tax of two dollars is levied upon all male residents of the county over 21 and under 50 years of age. This tax is to be col' » lected by the Assessor. The receipts are to be printed and bound and must be signed by the Auditor and countersigned by the Assessor, and are to be charged when issued to the Assessor ‘as cash. : -The bill also provides that the Supervisors shall cause to be made a survey of all public roads in this county with maps and field notes, of which three copies are to be made, one for the Supervisors, another for the Commissioner and a third for the County Sarveyor.— The bill also authorizes a property tax, not exceeding fifteen cents 6n each one hundréd dollars. The Commission-@ris to be paid six dollars per day for the time. actually employed upon the Toads and the Surveyor is allowed “twelve dollars.per day for surveying’ the roads, These are the main featutes ofthe bill. It is certainly better than the present law. When carefully examined by the Nevada-delegation it tay be necessary to modify it somewhat. We think it would be better to take away from the Commissioner the right to draw money from the treasury, ani require all such orders to be made _ by the Supervisors. THE members of Hose Conipany No. __ 8, the only remaining volunteer compa_ . my in San Francisco, has resolved to disband, allie tks ER AND AMY SToNE, supported by Papurs.—No papers caneneenesetanteps ete ACE CET I ET ST TTT A Nexpep Law.—Our Legislators Would do the State a service by passing alaw authorizing Justices of the Peace to. sentence petit offenders to work on the public roads in incorporated towns. Under the present law the county is bound continually to board} four or five worthless fellows who are sentenced to terms of from ten to sixty . days imprisonment in the county jail. This class are. averse to work, aad-if they are not.-permitted to steal they have no objection to boarding for a short time inthe county jail. Such fellows should be put to some use and a law should be passed for that. purpose. For all offences of this character let the Justices of the Peace be empowered to sentence offenders to work on the public roads for such a term as they are confined ia the county jail, Such a law would prevent these offenses to some extent, and when committed the guilty parties would be put tosome use. Now the county pays large sums of money annually to support and keep this class of offenders. THe Superintendent of an English workhouse, in order to prepare the boys in his charge for inspection, scrubbed their heads, the day before Christmas, with “blue Ointment.” . The result was that 80 of them went to the hospital, and one died. : .
