We present to our citizens a Directory of Marysville—the first ever published in this, the second City of California, both in commerce and in prosperity.
In one of the Atlantic cities a work of this kind would be easily accomplished, but in California the task is attended with difficulties and embarrassments that would deter many from such an undertaking.
Our population is made up of citizens of every clime, and in perambulating our streets, the ear is greeted with more sounds of different languages than was heard at the abandonment of the Tower of Babel.
Out of all this confusion of tongues the statistics for this work had to be collected. That the book is perfect, we never dreamed; but if industry, perseverance, time, and money, (which have been unsparingly used in the prosecution of this work,) are any apology for its imperfection, we humbly offer them as such. To R. M. Foltz and E. D. Wheeler, we tender our sincere acknowledgments for the very valuable aid which they have rendered us in the compilation of the work, likewise to the citizens generally.

SKETCH OF THE CITY.
What is now known as the city of Marysville, three and a half years ago was called Nye’s Ranch. At that period but one tenement graced the northern bank of the Yuba. Its locality was near the site of the “Ohio House,” at the foot of D street. It was an adobe structure, venerable and antique, but doomed to fall in the great fire of August, 1851. With this single exception, the plain upon which our city now stands, was unadorned by the hand of art, and uninhabited, save by the occupants of the castle and the roving squads of idle and worthless Indians. Early in the winter of ’49 and ’50 the mountain trade began to centre at this point, the small boats engaged in freighting from the lower cities finding this a natural and almost necessary terminus. The consequence was, that large quantities of goods were soon deposited upon what is now the plaza, teams and packers came crowding in from the mountains, a brisk and profitable trade sprang up, a hundred snow-white tents lent their charm to the scene, and Nye’s ranch began to give promise of future importance. The proprietors of the Ranch, Messrs. Sampson, Ramirez, Covillaud and Sicard, did not long remain blind to their own interests nor to the signs of the times; but as early as December conceived the idea of laying out a city. A surveyor was accordingly procured, and the old ranch laid off into lots, blocks and ranges; and “city lots” were soon being sold and conveyed with all the technical solemnity incident to the transfer of an English manor. Things being thus organized, large numbers of adventurers from below daily landed upon our shores, pitched their tents and commenced business. But up to this period there was no government, no law, no offices of justice; and questions of interest and importance, involving the rights of citizens, were constantly arising. Accordingly, on the 18th of January, 1850, an election was held, at which some three hundred votes were cast. Stephen J. Field, Esq., was duly elected chief justiciary of the realm; or, in Spanish parlance, Alcalde. T. M. Twitchell was elected Sheriff; but, for some reason, declined serving, whereupon R. B. Buchanan was appointed in his place. A Common Council was also elected. Mr. Field soon after received a commission from the Governor, qualified, and commenced the administration of law and justice in an able and satisfactory manner, as the records of his proceedings now reposing in the archives of the county, will abundantly testify. The wheels of government being thus set in motion by the popular will, the oil of a liberal fee-bill preserved the machinery, and every thing connected with the growth and prosperity of our city moved forward with unparalleled success. A thousand avenues to wealth opened before us; trade increased with a rapidity hitherto unknown; steamers daily visited our landing; buildings arose on every street and corner; hotels were furnished and opened; saloons erected and richly ornamented, and every feature of the young city assumed the aspect of thrift and enterprize. Thus matters progressed till the first Monday of April, when, pursuant to an act of the Legislature, an election was held for County Officers. A swarm of candidates, irrespective of politics, took the field; and, after a warm though good natured contest, the following named gentlemen were elected, viz: County Judge, H. P. Haun; County Attorney, S. B. Mulford; County clerk, E. D. Wheeler; Sheriff, R. B. Buchanan; County Recorder, Alfred Lawton; County Surveyor, J. B. Cushing; County Treasurer, L. W. Taylor; County Assessor, S. C. Tompkins; Coroner, S. T. Brewster. At this election about eight hundred votes were cast in Marysville. During the summer of 1850, improvements in town were moderate, many feeling undecided as to which of the up river towns would be the place. The following winter was extremely dull—money scarce, and real estate very much depressed. Notwithstanding these unfavorable signs, a bill, during the winter, passed the Legislature, incorporating the “City of Marysville,” dividing it into four Wards, and authorizing an election on the first Monday of March, 1851, for Mayor and eight Aldermen. The election resulted in the following choice—for Mayor, S. M. Miles; Aldermen, Messrs Ransom, Stambaugh, Shaeffer, Tallman, Smith, Rice, Covillaud and Tompkins. With the return of Spring, and the establishment of a regular municipal government, a new and cheering era dawned upon the City of Marysville. Business, in all its phases, revived; and improvements of a durable character began to be made. And since that period our city has progressed with a firm, healthful step; constantly increasing in wealth, population and beauty. The river bed has been cleared of obstructions, so that steamers visit us every day in the year. Our population now numbers nearly ten thousand. The canvas tent of ’49 and ’50 has retired to give room for elegant brick structures which now adorn every portion of our city, giving pleasing and substantial evidence of our prosperity. Mills, Iron Works, Machine Shops and Manufactories are established to supply the wants of community; Churches and Schools to improve our education and morals; and charitable institutions to gladden the hearts and ameliorate the condition of the unfortunate among us. Two daily newspapers are published, which contain all the important news, both foreign and at home.
Thus do we stand before the world; three years having changed the wilderness to a city; and, considering our commercial advantages, our beds of gold, our lofty mountain forests, and broad, productive fields, we certainly can, without exaggeration, indulge the brightest hopes for the future greatness of our beloved Marysville.

Second. To levy and collect during the present year, in addition to the general tax, a special tax of six cents on every hundred dollars worth of real and personal property within the city, made taxable by law for school purposes.
Third. To make special assessments of taxes, for widening or altering any street, alley or public ground of the city, or filling up any slough crossing the same, amounting to not more than two-thirds of the cost of such improvement upon the real property, situated upon either side of the street, alley or public ground to be so improved, according to the benefit to accrue thereby to such property, to be computed by three persons, to be chosen by the Common Council, for the purpose, and who before entering upon their duty, shall be sworn to make such computation faithfully and impartially, and shall make their report to the Common Council in writing under their hands and seals, and the concurrent report of two of whom may be received as final in the premises.
SEC. 2. Whenever it shall become necessary for the Common Council to take private property, for the purposes of laying out, altering, or widening streets or alleys, and they cannot agree with the owner or owners thereof as to the price to be paid for the same, they may direct proceedings to be taken to ascertain the value of such property, and the compensation to be made to the owner or owners thereof.
SEC. 3. To determine such value and compensation, a petition in the corporate name of the city, shall be presented to the Court of Sessions of the county, particularly describing the property, and praying the appointment of Commissioners to ascertain its value. Notice must be served upon the owner or owners, if resident within the county, of the intended application and of the time at which it will be presented.

SEC. 5. The Commissioners shall be sworn to discharge their duties faithfully, and impartially. They shall view the premises, and ascertain and certify under their hands and seals, the value of the property to be taken, and shall particularly describe such property. Their report or the report of the majority of them, shall be filed with the Clerk of the county. The court upon such report, and upon proof, that the owner or owners of such property, or those who may be entitled, will receive just compensation therefor, and upon tender of the same in court, in warrants of the city, shall direct the report to be entered on its minutes and a certified copy thereof to be recorded in the Recorder’s office of the county, and thereupon the corporation shall be entitled to enter upon, use and occupy, the property, as fully as if conveyed by the owner or owners thereof.
SEC. 6.

SEC. 8. All real estate within the city limits, used expressly for farming purposes, and known as suburban lots, shall be exempt from paying city taxes.
