THE CELEBRATION ASSURED. Substantial Assistance to be Given by the County. Action Taken by the Supervisors Yesterday in Regard to the Matter. R. D.

Stephens, W. D. Lawton, Geo. C. McMullen and William McLaughlin, representing the Fourth of July Committee, appeared before the Board of Supervisors yesterday to ask an appropriation to aid in a proper celebration of the coming national holiday.

Mr. Stephens first addressed the board on the subject, setting forth the necessity for preserving the time-honored custom of celebrating the anniversary of the day that witnessed the Nation's birth! He spoke of the injustice of calling a few hundred citizens, out of the forty odd thousand people in the county, to annually contribute the bulk of the money required to meet the expenses of a proper celebration of the day. and urged the Supervisors to make a liberal appropriation from the public funds to supplement the individual subscriptions that would be given. He was followed by Mr. Lawton, who spoke in similar manner.

It would be a reproach upon the Capital of the State, said Mr. Lawton, if it failed to properly celebrate the national holiday. Owing to the disturbed condition of affairs abroad and possible complications between this and other countries, America should now, more than ever, foster patriotic sentiments in the rising generation. The Capital City of the State should be a central point for celebrating the Nation's birthday aninversary, and a few citizens should not have io bear the burden of the expense thereof. The City Trustees, said Mr.

Lawton. have agreed to give $800 toward the celebration, which would cost between two and three thousand dollars, and the committee confidently expected the Board of Supervisors to be as liberal as circumstances ould permit. People all over the county will want to come to the city on that day to witness the celebration, and a few cents per capita on each adult would never be felt. Mr. McMuillen indorsed what his brother committeemen had said, and added that when he was a member of the Board of Supervisors that body had made an appropriation for a similar purpose.

Chairman Morrison said he wotild yield to no one in the matter of patriotic sentiment, and he knew his coil-agues on the board were imbued with the spirit that favors a proper celebration of the national holiday. But they had been subjected to very bitter experiences of late as a result of their endeavors to assist in matters pertaining to the public good and the welfare of the county, and in the absence of any express authority under which they might make such an appropriation, he did not know as they would feel like risking further persecution. He cited a recent instance in which a member of a Grand Jury prepared an indictment against the Supervisors appropriating a few hundred dollars for a Fourth of July celebration, and they doubtless would have been indicted had it not been that they also allowed something toward the expense of a Populist celebration at Folsom on the same day. While satisfied that the people generally do not indorse such persecution of their Supervisors, still it costs the latter good hard money to pay lawyers to defend them in the courts, and the thing was becoming burdensome. Mr.

Lawton did not think the Supervisors need fear that they would ever be punished for donating a small sum to aid in so patriotic a matter as honoring the Nation's day most dear to the heart of every good and loyal citizen of the country. He desired to know if the board could not appropriate a portion of the immigration fund for the purpose. Chairman Morrison said he believed It would be perfectly legitimate to do so. except for the fact that there will be no money available in that fund until after the present fiscal year, and they cannot draw on it in advance. BeaHtat said Mr.

Morrison, the immigration fund is the only source from which we can get the necessary money with which to defray the expense of making an exhibit each year at the State Fair of the county's resources. This is something that must be done, and there are other demands on that fund, and he did not see the way clear to use any portion of it for of July purposes. Supervisor Dreman. despite the Chairman's remarks, moved that f2SO be appropriated from the immigration fund for the purpose asked. Supervisor Todd said it would be impossible to use any of that fund.

Everyone wanted to honor the national SACRAMENTO DAILY RECORDATION, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1896. day, however, and celebrate it in a becoming manner, and it was only right that all of the expense should not fall on a few. Mr. McMullen suggested that the appropriation need not be made until after July Ist, when the immigration fund will be replenished. Supervisor Jenkins said if it were widely known that there was to be no celebration in the Capital City of the State the people would go elsewhere to give voice to their patriotic sentiments, and other places would be advertised to the detriment of Sacramento.

That would surely be a poor way in which to induce immigration or attract attention to our county. The people want a celebration here, and those who live in the country want an opportunity to come to the city and attend a good, old-fashioned Fourth of July In concluding Mr. Jenkins seconded Mr. Dreman's motion. Again Mr.

Stephens addressed the board in support of the proposition that the appropriation asked for was right and proper. There is, he said, plenty of patriotism among the people, and they all want to celebrate, but celebrations cost something. A few cents each from the adults of the county would be sufficient, but everyone cannot be reached, and the result is that most of the expense falls on a few persons. The latter cannot always be putting up from $5 to $20 each for these things. The Supervisors should not allow a fear of some cranky Grand Juryman to prevent them from making the donation, for the people will uphold their action.

Mr. Stephens called attention to the fact tfaatt upward of 82,000 would be required. If the city and county should give only $1,050 it would leave a large sum to be raised by individual subscription. The taxable wealth of the county is some $33,000,000, and the proposed $250 would be as nothing for the county to give, and those who pay taxes on small values would not be affected even to the extent of a few cents. Supervisor Curtis thought the board might set apart one-third of the immigration fund, or $333, for Fourth of July purposes.

Supervisor Todd expressed himself as opposed to this. He wanted whatever money was set apart for the use designated to be taken from the general fund. Chairman Morrison said he would bring the matter to a focus by moving that $B(HJ be set apart from the general fund to be devoted toward the expense of a proper celebration of the National holiday. Supervisor Jenkins seconded the motion. Mr.

Morrison said he appreciated the fact that the day should be celebrated in a manner becoming the most important event in the Nation's history. He had participated in collecting tours for many years, and realized the burden it was upon a few business men to require them to meet most of the expense of these celebrations. That is not the proper way. Wealthy people say they pay heavy 'taxes, and ask why the money is not taken from the treasury for such purposes, as they are willing to pay their full share. The city is continually being canvassed for these public affairs, and the country people will willingly stand a few cents a head for a Fourth of July celebration, for iit is for the good of the whole county.

The city had given $800, and Mr. Morrison said he did not see why the whole county, including a double call on the city, should not give as much. The motion to give $800 for the purpose was put as a substitute for other motions and amendments, and was carried without a dissenting vote. The members of the board may rest assured that their action will be indorsed by the people of the county and city. It is the only way in which to provide for the celebration of the National holiday and for certain other occasions.

A few citizens should not have to bear these burdens. The £800 voted will not amount to more than ten cents each on the voters of the county, to say nothing of the adult population. These things should be included in the annual tax levy, and have it unders'ood that they will be provided for by public tax. Articles of Incorporation. The following articles of inc.
