AN IMPORTANT DECISION,
Supervisors Have No Power to Transfer Certain Money to a Road Fund.
The Supreme Court of this State has ren‘ dered a decisicn that puts a limitation upon
the power of Supervisors in the matter of
roads, The facts of the case were as follows:
There was due a road overseer the sum of
$2,046 for work and labor done and fer
money expended by him for his read district.
There was no money in the road district
fund and $496.61 in the general road fund
ef the c unty, . A tax of 40 conts on each
$100 of taxable property in the county had
been duly levied, but the money received
therefrom hid all been expended for road
purposes, ‘ The Board of Supervisors made
an order that the County Treasurer transfer
from the general fund of the county to the}
road district fund the sum of $1,552.62 for
th: purpose of paying the indebtedness due
the road overseer.
Demand.-was;-made_upon_the Treasurer .
that he obey the order of the Board and
make the trausfer from the general fund to
the road fund, but he refused to-do so and
suit was brought to — him~ to make
_-guch_transfer,-—____d
The Supreme Court, ateer ing the sections of the Code of the County Government Act which were claimed te bear en
the situation, said :
“Tt is clear from the foregoing provisions
"cf the Code that all the money which can
be used for road purposes, with a single exseption, must come from the road poll tax
and a preperty. tax of 40 cents on each $100
of assessed property, and that all contracts
made and liabilities incurred in excess of the
estimated receipts, are vvid.
“In the excepted instance, the Supervisors are permitted by a two-thirds vote to
order a portion of the cost of constructing
bridges to be paid out of the county general
fund. But this case does not come within
the exception.
“This being so, and assuming the petitioner’s claim to be valid, it is clear that the
Board had no authority to pay it with money
taken from the general fund, the rule being
that public moneys can be used only for the
purposes aud in the manner prescribed by
law.”
The Court held the Board had no authority-to-order the Treasurer to transfer money . _
from the general to the road fund, and that
the Treasurer did right in refusing to make
the transfer.
Both, on the Coast.
It is an interesting fact which seems to
have escaped notice, although it has no political significance, that he taipablian candidates for President and Vice President in
thelast campaign—Harrison and Reid—are
both sojourning in this State at present, and
what is more; near neighbors, the former
being law professor ef Stanford University,
and the latter is the guest of his father-inlaw, D. O. Mills, at Milbrae.
A Splendid ‘Appointment.

of the State Beard of Trade, to succeed EW. Maslin, resigned. A man better fitted

* Governor's Opinion.
At a recent hisinane: convention in “the
State of Missouri Governor Francis said:
Each year the local paper gives from
$500 to $5,000 in lines to the community in
which it is located. No other agency can
or will do this, The editor, in proportion
to his means, does more_for his own town
than any other ten men, and all in fairness
with men he ought to be eupported—not
because you like him or admire his writings,
but because the local paper. is the best investment a community can have as a teacher
or preacher.
Understand me, I do not mean mentally
or merally, but financially, and yet on the
moral question you will find most of the 1ocal papers on the right side. Today the
editors of the home papers do the most for
the least money of any people on the face uf
the earth.”
For the Orphans.
The Sisters of Mercy of Grass Valley have
been soliciting aid to enable them to provide
La. suitable Chapel which will accommodate
the increasing number of orphans. They
earnestly ask all those who feel interested
to come forward and contribute. according
to their means, for such an undertaking is
well calculated to enlist the help of all
Glasses, no matter what their creed or denominaton. To givé tothe orphan is but
“to lend to the Almighty,” or in other
words to put your money out at a very
great‘interest. The Sisters gratefully acknowledge the prempt_and_ willing response
made by so many kind friends wh‘ch has
. placed them in a position to commence the
noble work. Little more: remains to be
done, but for this little the Sisters rely on
the help of the charitable public, to whom
they new appeal for assistance to enable
them to bring the undertaking to a B“The Board of City Trustees hold their

Haunted!
A haunted house in these prattical and
unromantic days is something of a rarity,
but an individual haunted with the idea
. that his ailment is incurable is a personage
frequently met with. Disbelief in the ability
of medicine to cure is only a mild form of
monomania, although in some cages repeated
failures to obtain relief from many different
sources wouldalmost seem to -justifythe
doubt. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters has
demonstrated its ability to overcome dys
pepsia, constipation, liver and kidney
trouble, malarial complaints and nervousness, and its recorded achievements in the
curative line ought at least, to warrant its
trial by any one troubled with either of the
above ailments, even although his previous
efforts to obtain remedial aid have been
fruitless. Used with persistence, the Bittera will conquer the most obstinate cases.
