154 MAY 13, 1866 GRASS VALLEY UNION
to take as good pictures as can be procured in San Francisco or anywhere else. Read his card published in
another column.
SUPERVISORS.—The report of the Viewers for a road leading from Washington to the Junction
House, by way of Phelps Hill, was approved, and the same declared a county road, the Clerk being
directed to notify the Road Overseer to that effect.
ENTERED UPON HIS DUTIES.—Hank. J. Snow, the Marshal select, entered upon the discharge
of his duties yesterday morning. Under Snow’s management no more bummers are to be fed at the
Corporation expense. Parties who are unable to pay fines when sentenced for petty offences, will be
made to do service on the public thoroughfares. In other words we will have a chain gang, into which
constitutional bummers will be placed and made to earn their grub. Yesterday Hank placed some of the
Calaboose inmates at labor on the water works and one he put to repairing the street leading to the Town
Prison. Farewell to first class board and nothing to do, henceforth.
ASSESSING.—Assessor Bean informs the Gazette that the work of assessing is progressing rapidly.
Deputy Assessor Mason has nearly completed Little York township, and although the figures have not
bee footed up, he thinks the assessment will somewhat exceed that of last year. Nevada township will be
completed next week, except the supplementary roll. The South Yuba Canal has been put in at $75,000
less than last year, but will probably be raised. With this deduction, however, it is believed the total for
the township will equal that of 1865. In general, property in the township is given in at higher rates than
for the past two or three years.
TESTING ITS FORCE.—The Fire Department was out on Friday afternoon, testing the power and
capacity of the new water works. They worked away for some time and threw several very handsome
streams, when the power of the water being either too much for the hose or that of the hose not enough for
the water, the former collapsed, and the boys had to suspend operations. They worked enough, however,
to ascertain the fact that our water works will be found equal to all emergencies.
[DIED]. The remains of Mrs. Ann Regan, wife of Mr. John Regan, of Lowell Hill, Little York
Township, were yesterday brought down to Grass Valley for interment in the Catholic
Cemetery. The large procession that followed the remains to their last resting place fully
testified to the appreciation in which the memory of the deceased is held. The funeral took
place at two o’clock yesterday afternoon.
TO BE ENLARGED.—Mr. C. W. Smith is about to add another story to his already large and
commodious Exchange Hotel. The large influx of strangers into Grass Valley renders this step on the
part of Mr. Smith imperatively necessary. The work will be commenced just as soon as the necessary
negotiations can be concluded with the builder. When the additional story is added the Exchange will be
the most imposing as well as capacious building in town.
SICK.—Bishop O’Connell has been lying sick at the residence of Father Dalton during the past
week. The Reverend Gentleman has, we understand, been suffering from a tumor in the ear. Owing to
skillful medical treatment, however, he is fast recovering, and will doubtless be well in a day or two.
