INDEBTEDNESS IN 1851.
At a meeting of the Court of Sessions on August 6, 1851, it was ordered that all persons having claims

FINANCIAL HISTORY.
against the county must present them at the Auditor's office forthwith, in order that the county indebtedness might be ascertained. It was also provided that the tax levy for the ensuing fiscal year should be one-half of one per cent.
The bills presented in compliance with the first sec- tion of the above order were $517 in the aggregate up to the date of the order.
A list of receipts audited up to October 6, 1851, aggregated $3,469.30. By January, 1852, the receipts had risen to $3,986.84, while the amount paid out since the organization of the county was $2,707.30, leaving the indebtedness at $1,279.54. This statement appears on a stray leaf of the Auditor's book, following which is the memorandum :-
The foregoing was the state of the Auditor's accounts on my getting possession of the books:
Amount of county debt to January 15, 1852-$1,279.54 Amount audited to February 28, 1852 512.6012
$1,792.1412
F. I. MAGUIRE, County Auditor. San Luis Obispo, February 28, 1852.
The bills audited are almost entirely for salaries of county officers, Justices of the Peace, Surveyor, and Judge of the Plains. In March, 1852, $300 is expended in repairing the Court House, $20.00 for a lock to the "Gaol," $8.00 for county branding iron, and $5.00 for interpreter to the Court of Sessions, the remainder being salaries, the total for the month amounting to $1,339.40.
LICENSE ORDINANCE.
It was enacted by the Court of Sessions in August, 1851, that the proprietors of each and every gambling table in the county of San Luis Obispo should be com- pelled to pay a tax of $12.00 per month, said tax to be collected in the same manner as other taxes for town purposes.
According to the Sheriff's report, the sum of $92.50 was collected for licenses during the month of September following this enactment, of which that officer received ten.per cent. for collecting.
In 1852 the Court of Sessions fixed cost of licenses as follows :-
Monte tables, $35.00 per month. Two tables licensed. Billiard tables, $10.00 per month. Two tables licensed in January and three in May.
Selling liquors at retail, $7.50 per quarter. Nine bars licensed.
l'ed lling and hawking goods, $7.00 per month. One license to Devascio Guzman and one to S. Wolf & Co.
Merchandising, $1.00 per month. Seven licenses granted.
From December 1, 1852, until May, 1853, the receipts for licenses were $525.
LICENSES IN 1852-53.
Under the new license regulations, the following indi- viduals paid money into the treasury :-

SALARIES OF OFFICIALS.
At a meeting of the Court of Sessions in December 1851, the following business was transacted :-
J. Mariano Bonilla presented a bill for services ren- dered as County Judge for the time intervening between April 1, 1850, and June 29, 1851, amounting to $759, which was ordered paid.
It was ordered that all funds collected for the county for taxes and licenses shall be paid in the legal currency of the United States, or in foreign coin, at a certain value fixed previously, or in gold-dust at the rate of $16.00 per troy ounce.
It was ordered that the Sheriff be empowered to appoint a jailer, with a salary of $25.00 per month, and to allow him $36.00 per month for the maintenance of each prisoner.
It was ordered that the pay of the County Clerk be reduced from $10.00 per day to $6.00 per day while in attendance upon the court; the County Auditor's salary to be $10.00 per month for the month of September.
The Sheriff's compensation for attending the session of court was set at $6.00 per day.
.
An appropriation of $300 was made by the court for furnishing the Court House. A contract was entered into with Rollin M. C. Hoyt, who agreed to construct for the use of the county officers certain furniture, to wit: five common benches, each eight feet long, and two of six feet; one Judge's bench, five and a half feet long, "which shall be raised from the floor twelve inches," with a bench or seat for the Associate Judges; one book- case and pigeon holes; one clerk's table; two similar ones for members of the bar; a railing across the court room, with gate. The contract is witnessed by F. I. Maguire, County Clerk.
SUNDRY BILLS.
In January, 1852, the Court of Sessions approved the bill of Elliot Libby :-

A SPANISH PECULIARITY.
In January, 1852, the Court of Sessions was petitioned by José de Jesus Pico, a prominent ranchero, for a reduction of assessment. Although taxed for $22,000, he denied being worth over $1,200. Herein is illus- rated a little peculiarity, not of Spanish-Americans alone, but of quite a number of others of the world's people. Don José de Jesus was called upon, so the story goes, by an unassuming American gentleman who besought his hospitality. This, of course, was freely be- stowed, and the stranger was welcomed to the best the large rancho afforded. Later on the Don was impelled to speak of himself, and probably in a spirit of exaggera- tion (not difficult to understand) he descanted upon his wealth, his flocks and herds, his cattle upon a thousand hills, his family jewels, and his fiery steeds. The result was that the stranger became impressed with the gracious and imposing Don's riches, and, drawing forth his little memorandum book, set down this host's taxable property as of the value of $22,000. He was the Assessor !
The termination of the story relates how Judge Graves and his Associates on the Bench reduced the hospitable caballero's assessment to the amount prayed for.
To add singularity to the affair, the sufferer is found petitioning some weeks later that an item of his property had been overlooked by the Assessor, and he would esteem it a favor if fifteen young mares, worth $30.00 each, could be placed on the assessment list in order that he might pay taxes on them! It was done.
COUNTY TREASURY IN 1852.
In January, 1852, the Treasurer reported that the treasury was empty, and that there was an outstanding indebtedness of $1,279.54. On the receipt of the report the Court of Sessions directed that the tax levy for that year should be at the rate of fifty cents on every $100. Of the money collected by such tax one-fifth thereof was to be devoted to the payment of the indebtedness.
The following bills were at the same time allowed: -
To F. J. Maguire, for seven days' attendance as Clerk at Court of Sessions, filing four papers and writing bond .. $51.00

OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS.
The records contain the appointment of Don José de Jesus Pico, as Assessor, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Francisco Z. Branch. Don José's ap- pointment dates from December, 1852.
On November 5, 1852, Elliot Libby becomes County Auditor, and states the total amount audited at the time he took possession of the books at $3,633.66.
INAUGURATION OF THE SUPERVISORS.
With the session in December, 1852, the Court of Sessions ceased to be the financial and business agent of the county, those powers having been transferred to the Board of Supervisors, by an Act of the Legislature, passed May 3, 1852, to organize governing Boards for each county. Since the time when this Act went into effect the finances of each county have been administered in accordance with its terms.
The first meeting of the Board of Supervisors. under this statute, was held on the 13th of December follow- ing. The proceedings were recorded in rather a slovenly manner, and much study and many calculations must be. made by the student of history to ascertain the public officers, the condition of the county, and the state of the finances, from the old, unbusiness-like books handed down to the present.
The proceedings of the first meeting are faithfully copied in the following :-
The Board consisted of John Wilson, Francisco Branch, Joaquin Estrada, WVm. G. Dana, and S. A. Pollard. Mo- tion was made, seconded and carried, that S. A. Pollard, Esq., be appointed as Chairman of said Board, which was unanimously carried.
Ordered that Wm. L. Beebee be appointed as Super- visor in the place of Wm. G. Dana, who holds the office of Treasurer, and is not eligible for any other office. Or- dered that the bill of Wm. A. Shambler be passed $6.00. Also the bill of E. Libby for $131. Ordered that a bill of S. A. Pollard, for stationery, etc., be passed for $22.00. Ordered that the bill of Wm. Jones, for services as Con- stable and guarding jail for one prisoner (not allowed). Bill of Albert Mann, for services as Justice of the Peace, in the case of Espinosa, passed. Ordered that the bill of Wm. Stenner, for guarding jail, be allowed for $10.00.

FINANCIAL HISTORY.
There being no other business the Board adjourned until Tuesday at 9 A. M.
ELLIOT LIBBY, Clerk. Approved: S. A. Pollard, Chairman Board of Sup's.
At the next meeting of the Board Parker H. French was appointed District Attorney, at a salary of $500 per annum.
In January, 1853, the pay of the Clerk was fixed at $20.00 per month for his services as Auditor, and $8.00 per day for the time the Board was in session, and he was allowed $12.00 per month for rent of office, to be paid in county scrip. An appropriation of $roo was made for repairing the road to the beach, to be paid in county scrip. These are the first mentions of the issuance of county scrip.
The statute creating the Boards of Supervisors required them, within sixty days after their organization, to ascer- tain the amount of the existing debt and the value of all property belonging to the county. But at that time there began a controversy between the Board and Wm. G. Dana, the County Treasurer, which must have prevented any statement, as none appears on the records at the time ordered. The Treasurer had presented a bill for rent of court room, which the Board of Supervisors refused to allow. The demands for a settlement with the Treasurer, then with him as ex-Treasurer, and subse- quently with the estate of the ex-Treasurer, Captain Dana, were reiterated through several years, and answered by a demand for the payment of indebtedness on account of the rent for that court room. It is very evident that the accounts of the county were kept in a very careless manner, and that an exact statement of the financial condition at that time would have been an impossibility? The Supervisors, in their report August 29, 1854, say that "The late County Treasurer has kept no correct account of receipts or disbursements made by him during his term of office, and neglects, or is unable, to make the exhibit required by law; and that the County Auditor has made out his exhibit from the imperfect materials which were handed to him as County Anditor when he commenced upon the duties of his office, together with the assistance of the scrip, and other documents handed to him by H. C. M. Ely, Esq., on behalf of said Dana. That a great portion of said scrip has never been indorsed, redeemed, or even registered. That in the statement made out by the Auditor, the sum of $354.63 has been wrongfully credited to the late County Treasurer, on a certain receipt given by him (bearing date October 22, 1851) to Henry Dally, the then Sheriff, it having been supposed by the Auditor that the above amount of $354.63 (a part of the whole receipt, which is $770.94) was the proportion of taxes due the State; notwithstand- ing said receipt expressly states that the money receipted for was due the county of San Luis Obispo."
The Board, not being satisfied with such a report, ordered the Clerk to examine such papers as he could find, and by inquiry and other means, ascertain as near as possible the amount of money due the county from October, 1851, to October 3, 1853.
The Clerk reported, September 1, 1854, that as near as
could be ascertained, the amount of receipts for county purposes from October, 1851, to October 3, 1853, for property, poll, and license taxes was $6,184.15; the amount of $603.13 being deducted for officers' fees and delinquent taxes, the net amount of receipts was $5,581.92. After further examination the Board declared that W. G. Dana, the ex-Treasurer, was indebted to the county in the sum of $153-47.
At the session of the Board held in February, 1855, J. Mariano Bonilla made affidavit that he had received on a certain piece of scrip $167 more than was allowed to ex-Treasurer Dana on his settlement with the county, and it was consequently ordered that a receipt in full of all demands be issued to him, and that he be required to release the county from all claims and demands he had against it. This he did not comply with, as on the May following he again presented his bill for rent of office from October, 1851, to October, 1853, at the rate of $12.50 per month; also rent of court room for twenty- eight days at $10.00 a day, the whole aggregating $580. This was rejected, and suit was instituted against the county for its payment. The District Attorney, at the session in August, was ordered to defend the suit. The records of the September session of the Board of Supervisors show that the suit went in favor of the plain- tiff, as then it was ordered that a warrant be drawn in favor of Wm. G. Dana for the sum of $322.65, it being the amount of judgment and costs rendered by the District Court in his favor. Thus the long controversy was ended favorably to the ex-Treasurer and pioneer. No complaints of dishonesty had ever been made, but the difficulty had arisen through the careless manner of doing business. Under the patriarchal habits of the principal families of the country, they had been accustomed to transact business loosely and unsystematically, but always attempting to deal fairly, keeping few accounts, and responsible to no one. This difficulty made it evident that a new order of things existed in the coun- try, and that in future a strict accountability would be maintained.
TEACHER'S SALARY.
At a session of the Board held in August, 1853, it was ordered that the salary of the schoolmaster of the town of San Luis Obispo, Miguel Merchant, who had previously received $100 monthly, paid from the county funds, should receive compensation from the patrons of the school, who were to pay him $5.00 per month for each pupil.
TREASURER'S REPORTS.
The report of the Treasurer in reference to the county debt, which had been previously asked of Mr. Dana, was supplied by his successor, who showed that the amount owed by the county in June, 1854, was $6,890.33.
On the first of November of the following year the debt had risen to $12,315.38. The Treasurer at the time was Joaquin Estrada, and Judge Graves was his Deputy. The Board of Supervisors, in May of 1855, called upon the Treasurer for a settlement with the county, and the following statement was produced :-
172
HISTORY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY.
Due from the Treasurer to the General Fund $ 61.73 Due the Court House Fund 697.89 Due the Treasurer from the Office Fund. 163.90
The Treasurer was credited with $207.50, being money expended for blank-books, stationery, and office furni- ture, and he was further allowed $240 for office rent from October 1, 1853, rented June 1, 1855.
JAIL BUILDING.
A progressive community, in the very nature of things, feels, as one of its primal wants, a demand for a safe and secure jail. School houses may be extemporized; the august court of justice may hold its sessions in the shade of the umbrageous oak; the devout and spiritual-minded may fitly worship God in his own majestic cathedrals -- the leafy, sighing groves; society may dispense with roofs, and, taking to its blankets, sleep and eat in the open air; but humanity cannot exist without jails. Rec- ognizing, then, the want of an effectual house of deten- tion for San Luis Obispo's criminal element, the law- abiding people thereof made overtures to the State Leg- islature, which responded with an Act authorizing the Board of Supervisors of San Luis Obispo to levy a special tax upon the assessable property of the county, not exceeding one per cent. of its valuation, for the purpose of building a jail. This Act was passed May 5, 1855.
PROPERTY VALUATIONS.
Returning now to the subject of valuations of private property in the county, it is ascertained from the Assess- or's books that in 1852 the amount of land assessed was 537,457 acres, valued at $200,955. The improvements thereon were valued at $43,700. Town lots were set at $4,495,and their improvements at $20,725. Personal prop- erty, $346,918. Total valuation of all assessable property in the county, $543,623. State taxes thereon, $1,631; county taxes, $2,746.07; poll taxes, $240; delinquent taxes, $84.48. Total tax levied, $4,701.55. This was at the rate of 83.4 cents per hundred dollars of valuation.
