L. Coset, who probably from his view point imagines he represents every progressive movement in Jackson and Amador county, is greatly worried about the manner in which the editor of the Ledger conducts his private business affairs. For the second time inside of eighteeu months a list of subscribers to a new street in Jackson is paraded before the public, and to his notion the specially damaging fact is mentioned that the name of Richard Webb does not appear as a contributor thereto, although a propertyholder in the vicinity of the improvement, therefore a sharer, in his estimation, in the benefits of the increased valuation resulting therefrom. The object of this second-handed ventillation of this now ancient subject to picture, the writer as a willing participator in the benefits of other people's money, while unwilling to contribute to the" general good himself. We, do not make a practice of using the columns of the Ledger to justify our conduct.

in private in 'response to every snarleyow that comes along. If we attempted to do so, our read ers will readily understand we should have neither time nor space to de-. vote to more important interests. We have beea a prominent ifigiire 5 before the people of Amador county for nearly thirty years, and we take it as a compliment of no mean order that the burden of the objections of our would-be censors is not what we have done, but what we failed to do. We have not acted in certain encies up to the standard of certain high-minded patriots.

Now. plead guilty to this impeachment, and we may also add that in the future as in the past we shall probably continue to lay ourself iiable to similar attacks from the same malicious motives. It is the disposition' and the province of the mosquito to annoy animals of a higher order, and these insects have their counterpart in the economy of human affairs. this street accusation we deeaa it fitting to depart from our usual rule of There are. several points which our eminent critic has failed to mention, and would place the matter in an entirely different light as" far as we are concerned.

In the first place he omits to mention that in the survey of what is known as the Webb-Mason subdivision, a more liberal provision was made for streets than in any subdivision theretofore attempted. Every lot in that tract was provided with a front and rear outlet. Also, the writer paid $100 for the outlet from the tract to Broadway, in addition to the roadways carved out of the subdivision itself, bearing that burden entirely himself. He also was kind enough to forget that the lots in that portion of the tract benefitted by the new he refers to, were sold for $50 less than other lots. This was the concession on account of location, and in fact it was in a measure the donation of the owners toward the improvement in question.

Now when all the lots in that end were sold except two be' longing to the writer, the proposition was sprung to get the street opened, and instead of putting up the money themselves, by virtue of the reduced price, they wanted the writer to make a cash donation, in addition to the discount already made in the price of those lots. He did not see it in that business light. This critic who has a penchant for heralding his own contribution for the improvement of his own property, also neglects to mention that the two lots belonging to the writer, while this street opening scheme was pending, were bonded at a price less than one half the price for which similar lots had been sold. This was in anticipation of an increase in value incident to the opening of the new thoroughfare. So that in the event of a boom in real estate in that, vicinity, the party holding theoption and not the writer would have benefitted thereby.

The street was opened, but, the boom failed to materialize, so the lots remained unsold. We may further state that the same lots are still for sale at 50 per cent reduction, the street opening benefit notwithstanding. "Having contributed $12 50 per front foot in cash for. cue roadway, and liberally, provided the tract itself with streets having discounted the lots. to the business center on account of- their distance from the then existing outlets having disposed of the lots on easier terms of deferred pay m'e'uts than were ever before offered to the homeseeker in" Jackson and; without one dollar of income property in the eutire neighborhood, writer then thought he had.

done his full duty in the He has no apologies to offer now. While deeming, the. above reasons sufficient, there were other and far more potent personal considerations that barred him from doing anything further. Into, the nature of these reasons it is not necessary to inquire, but we may add that though we had been guarantepd that any sum we might have contributed would have been returned with tenfold value, we should uothave veered one jot from the path that we pursued in this particular instance.

PROTECTING COUNTY PROPERTY The grand jury that met this week has again emphasized the need ot some action being taken by the supervisors toward protecting the walls of the court house and hall of records against damage from the weather.

This question has been a standing subject of recommendation by successive grand juries for mauy years past, and it is a matter of surprise not only to grand jurors but also to citizens generally, that favorable action has been so loug delayed. There is no dispute regarding the necessity, of painting or cementing the outside walls. That the buildings have never been attended to heretofore is no argument in favor of continuing the same policy of neglect. damage has been and every season's delay adds to the mischief. No taxpayer can object to the proper protection of county buildings evtry taxpayer will mentally protest against damage from inexcusable neglect.

No doubt financial, and perhaps political reasons to some extent, have carrying out of this improvement. The cost of painting the two buildings will amount to considerable, and supervisors have hesitated to embarkvjn the undertaking because of the in.creased tax levy it might entail. It appears, however, that there remains in the general redemption fund an unexpended balance of about $1700. This fund, is for the redemption of outstanding county warrants issued thirty years ago. There has been no claim presented against this fund for the past eight years.

The probability is that most of these outstanding warrants have been lost or that few will ever turn up for payment. Anyway, there is no sense keeping this money locked up in tht treasury indefinitely waiting for these belated warrants. Some time back $1000 of this money was transferred to the' current expense fund. It has not been, and no doubt will not be, unless necessity arises, therefor. There still remains $678 in this fund.

Now the suggestion is made to use this money for the purpose of making the improvements to county buildings. It may not be enough to pay the entire cost, but thedeficiency can easily be made up from other sources. We hope this plan will be adopted, aad the annual and wellfounded charge of not properly safeguarding public interests -thereby silenced. Bad Indeed. Losing flesh is indeed a bad sign.

25c. 'V School Apportionments. Jackson, Dec. 18, 1902. To the School Trustees of Amador County.

Gentleman. Auditor C. S. Culbert reported to me, Dec. 15, 1902, that there is $8362.97 available for apportionment to the county school fund of the various school districts of Amador Of the above amount, I have apportioned leaving a balance of $265.93 in the unapportioned county school fund.

Ton percent of the amount apportioned to each school district is placed to the credit of the library fund, and ninety per cent is placed to the credit of the county fund. The superintendent takes $1 50-100 out of the library fund of each district to pay for the official journal. The total amount reported for apportion raunt by the auditor, Dec. 15, 1902, is $1608.76 less than was reported by him Dec. 1901.

This fact explains why the present apportionment is so much less than it was Dec. 17, 1901. The second apportionment will be of state money, and will be made about the 15th day of Jan. 1903. The next apportionment of county money will be made about the middle of May, 1903.

The fourth and last apportionment for the present school year (ending June 30, 1903) will be made about the middle of July, 1903, and will be of state money. You have in this report all the data necessary to verify its accuracy.

NOT ILL TREATED. -i An article appeared in the Calaveras Olii-oniclo three'weeks ago, giving delaib of tho treatment of somo Indian ciiildron on the Indian reservation, a few triilos'east of The article convoyod the idea that four children, whoso mother and father had died on the had boen left to shift for themselves, in a cabin on the tract, with scant rations supplied at government oxpenso. The oldest girl of twolvo, assumed" the entire charge of this household.

Grist, tho agent in of of a kindly nature, and the intimation that 1 he would "see of tender age suffer from lack of are told does him an injustice. It is the policy of the government to havo tho Indians on the reservation shift for themselves as much as possible; that is, they aro expected to cook and take care of their own households, being furnished with free rations.
