Special Dispatch to The Call ALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 21.—Schillig intro- duced a measure in the Assembly this morning intended to limit the powers of Boards of Supervisors to impose taxes upon sheep that are being driven through countles on the way from valiey to mountain pasturage. The bill makes it illegal to levy a tax of more than 3 cents per head for the herding, grazing or pasturing of sheep within the county lmits. Sheep-owners claim that extortionate measures are enacted in many counties in which their sheep do not graze to any extent whatever, but through which they must be driven to reach the mountain pas- tures.

This re- markable measure proposes that all ques- tions of difference in telephone service | within a municipality shall be sunk out of sight and that the uniform monthly rate for telephones shail be §2. This rate must include all connections and cover all charges. No additional charges of “hatever Kind can be made, either for rent or for the transmission of conversa- tion or messages. These prohibitions shut out nickel-in- the-slot attachments and ignore the dif- ferences in demand made upon the tele- phone service by business houses, hotels and residences and leave out of question “main line,” “ten party” and “two party’ line considerations. Simply and unavoid- ably if a telephone company wants to do business’ within a municipality it must cast u'&. all of these attempts at aecarg- modating itself to the demands of its sub- scribers and charge each of them 32 per month per instrument. This is spectfied in the &ourlnn bill as follows: CALL, HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. flL—Assembly bill No, 48, introduced by lrish, appropriating $150,000 to duplicate a proposed United States ap- propriation to add to the $500,000 now available forg restraining and impound- ing system in the hydraulic mining dis- trict, has been held up in the camp of its friends. Ralston of Calaveras, himself a miner, took an unexpected stand in com- mittee meeting this afternoon in opposi- tion to the petition of the California Min- ers’ Association and succeeded in prevent- ing thé committee from recommending the bill for passage. Ralston’s contention is that $500,000 is now available and that a further appro- priation at this time would be il advised. At Ralston’s personal request at the meet- ing of the Committee on Mines and Min- ing this afternoon Bt of Amador withdrew a motion t the committee recommend that the bill “do pass,” and it was finally decided to postpone action i1l Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. .

Section 4 forbids charges for putting in | telephones; section § compels a corpora tion to put in telephones in any respect- able place of business or dwelling upon demand, and section 8 nixes the pennuK for violation of the statute at $300 for eacl offense. Martin Brady follows up his constitu- tional amendment introduced some days ago providing for telephone regulations, with Assembly bill No. 379.

In order to secure such cec- tificates they must file stipulations that they will keep books and keep them cor- recily and open them to inspection of the Secretary of State, the State Board of Ex- aminers, or whoever either or both shall appoint. Such stipulations must be flled by January 15 of each year and each cer- tificate of authority shall expire on cember 31 after its issue. The telephone company must furnish bonds to the amount ‘of $10,000 to fulfill its stipulatioa, and is compelled to pay the State 2 per cent of its gross receipts.

The Governor does not want any bill passed carrying « large appropriation if it can possibly be avoided, and presum- i ably to support the Governor's policy of economy Ralston has turned his back upon the miners’ association. Colonel Heuer of the United States en- gineer corps appeared before the commle- tee in response to an invitation by Rals- esired to gt information as to the Intentlons of the Federal Government. Colonel Heuer sald work could proceed with_the $500,000 now available provided the State would pay for one-half of the real estate purchased for sites. He said that % per cent of the work must be done by contract, and that it could be done much cheaper if the entire $800,000 of the estimated cost were available from the _beginning. Colonel Heuer said that the $500,000 ‘would not be sufficient to complete the im- gounding basin, and that if after it had n expended sither the United States or ‘California should fall to appropriate its share for the cumPlet!on of the work the other's share would not be available, and the entire $500,000 expended would be’lost, as well as the benefits to be given by the system.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, BACRA- | MENTO, Jan. 21.—The Broughton bill, regulating the sale of franchises, has been so amended In committee that it is prob- | able all concerned will rush it through, for all seem satisfied. The amendments which were sent up from the south have béen grafted upon the bill, and in its | amended form the Assembly Committes | on Municipal Corporations has decided to | report it favorably to the Assembly. The committee met for the consideration of the bill this afternoon, and when the Measure was brought up Broughton start- ed to submit amendments. First, In sec- tion 1, he amended the bill so as to include gaspipe lines for heat as well as power, and also to exempt all steam railroad fines from the provisions of the act. Ta. bill in its original form exempted ali steam railreads doing an Interstate busi- hess. The mission of Ferdinand K. Rule. Treasurer of the Salt Lake road, who was up here last Friday, was to amend this section o as to include steam rallroads intending to do au interstate businees, Which is the condition of the Salt Lake Toad; but the amendment made to-day goes even further than that. In the sccond section, where the original bill leaves the question of advertising w franchise to the discretion of the govern- ing body of & municipality, the bill was amended so as to add to this discretionary wer the restriction unv.‘.'non the ap- lication for a franchise is accompanied v the petition of the owners of three- fourths of the real property along uu‘ frontage of the franchise applied for, then the governing body of the municipality | must advertise it. | Regarding the provision fixing 2 per cent of the gross earnings as the minimum to be charged by municipalities, and leaving the maximum indefinite, amendmert was adopted making a definite rate of 2 per cent of the gross receipts payable to the municipality. A new section was added to the bill which provides that work must be com- menced by a successful bidder within four months, or he shall forfeit his franchise; and it must be completed within three years, or again he shall forfeit all, unless in either case the time has been extended for good reasons. ‘Another new section added provides that nothing in the act shall be construed as repealing or amending acts for the con- struction of bicycle or automobile paths, or providing for the granting of fran- chises by municipalities to rallroads or street rn.nwnl £ ex{(undln‘ beyond their | limits to public parks. The trne:uon golmpnny ot Los Angeles | sent up a bill which included all the: amendments and accepted provisions of the Broughton bill, with this addition: | It provides that when an n.pgllutlon for a franchise is accompanied by a petition | signed by the owners of three-fourths of the property fronting on the pro) franchise, then the xovmlflS:Ody of any | municipality shall grant t franchise | asked; but the amendment requiring ad. vertisement, under the same \ stances, seemed to be satisfactory, and it is not probable that the tractfon com- | pany’s measure will be introduced.

The companion bill in the Senate has not yet been considered in committee, nor will it be taken up for some time. as the Senate Committee on Municipal Corpora- tions has decided to take up street- improvement s first. will Broughton's bill such a start that it wil probably be the one to go through. * _———————— Canada expects a population of 6,000,- 000 in its census returns next year.
