BUT OE fEGIEER Attorney of Auditor Wells DUeovera That the Advice Given bjr Slayor 7beln Been Fnulty The startling dlscoAery has been made that the sewer commission ap pointed by the JBoard of Supervisors upon the recommendation or mayor Phelan has no legal status and that the work of that boo under present conditions would renderjnyalld any Issue of bonds which the people might ap prov at the special election In December Several weeks ngo the Supervisors transferred to the street fund from tb street light fund the sum of 20000 far the purpose of paj ing the expenses and salaries of the engineers Subsequently the Board passed three demands in the sum of 1500 each as first payment to the three engineers utfon their contract with the city These salary warrants hav not been audited bAudttor Wells because he was in doubt as to the legality of the proceedings He referred the matter to his attorney Dickin son lor invesiigauuu ann yesieruny that gentleman Jnformed him that there vas no law that authorized or permitted the creation of the commission The only authority given by the statutes to the Supervisors to prepare tor a oona lsue for any public improvements In his Judgment was that empowering them to appoint an engineer or an arcm tect to prepare plans and submit an estimate of the cost ofvthe work pro I Jected He was convinced that any bonds that mignt De lHueo upon tne oasis of the estimates made by the commission would be defective and would And no purchasers As Mayor Phelan is interested In the proposition to bond the city for new sewers he was summoned by the Auditor and appeared accompanied by his attorney Murphy Murphy undertook to defend the legality of the proceedings but he as obliged to admit that his position was untenable when Dickinson argued the matter witu him It was then decided to remedy the blunder by beginning the proceedings anew It was agreed that while the Board could appoint a single engineer that appointee could call in other per sons to assist him and the commission could thereby be placed Upon a legal footing The Mayor said that he would have the Supervisprs dottbis butjje did not call their attention to the mat ter yesterday Unless this Is done the I three engineers will recelv no compen sation for the work which tneynave already performed They hav incurred expenses In the matter of employing draughtsmen ana for materials amounting to 600 This sum the Auditor will pay out of the funds of the past fiscal year but he will not approv the salary demands of the three engineers claiming that special provision must be made for that service in the present tax levy The Supervisors fixed the appropriations yesterday but having no knowledge of the complication that had arisen and believing that the former appropriation made for the pur pose was Btlll available made no allowance for the changed conditions Unless the error is rectified on next Monday the sewer commission will dls bancV and the projected improvement will have to be abandoned for this year Attorney ODonnell Disbarred The Supreme Court has ordered ODonnell an attorney of Modesto to be debarred from further practicing in any of the

Ka i fmiMViLWi ElHUr jissssK HbHHsMIPvi aHH ssm jHBsiisH THE FEATURE of the session of the Board Qf Supervisors yesterday was the voluminous report of the Finance Committee sub Tinted by Chairman Perrault gfying the reasons for increased appropriations in some departments and reductions in others The committee places the responsibility of some Ill timed and ill advised changes and reductions upon the shoulders of the Mayor much to the letters distress Mayor Phelan repudiated the statements quoted In the report as cowing from hltn and objected to their adoption but Perrault referred him to the stenographers notes and also read from the Mayors message Supenisor Byington came to the defense of the Major but it availed him nothing and the report was finally adopted Perrault promising to eliminate any statement referring to the Mayors utterances that was not in accord with the stenographers notes The schedule adopted yesterday Increases the allowance for the Fire Department 9100 for extra service In July It also makes pro vision for the reopening of the receiving and the harbor hospitals for public vaccinator bacteriologist police surgeon matrons ambulances one food Inspector and four as slstants at a total expense of 15960 The appropriation for the Almshouse was increased 15000 for the City and County Hospital 26905 Street Department 148604 water supply 8316 library 5000 The School Department suffered the largest reduction being cut 71080 The adoption of the report Included the pledge of a re enactment on the third Monday in September The committee dwelt on the necessity of keeping its pledge to make the tax ley within the dollar limit Mayor Phelan objected to the following allusion In the report As the responsibility for the maintenance and operation ot the government to be Instituted next January is freely assumed by his honor the Mayor your com miiiee certainty can nave no numro omcr than to second his efforts to secure either unaer the present or the new regime an economical and successful administration of the public business The Mayor interrupted at this point saying to Perrault You have taken too great a liberty with the use of my natoe Perrault Teplied I beg your honors pardon but having read the Examiner I certainly thought thatyou had pre empted that office Subsequent passages in the report evoked vigorous objection from the Mayor whosald in reference to one of them I must object to tnai as untrue This report must be amended or else I shall not allow It to be accepted It makes me appear as though I were in favor of reducing the Wages of labor and that is nqt true Perrault referred the Mayer to the stenographic notes You cannot commit me to a reduction of wages fopJa bor either In your report or in any other place exclaimed Phelan I do not want this Board to adopt a report which Is merely a political document and I refuse to be committed to any such statement Perrault calmly referred to the notes of the stenographer and read passages from the Mayors mes sage The following passage tne report caused the Mayors objections We desire to earnestly and decidedly object to a reduction of the compensation to be nald for Janitors services or for other laboring work to be performed by ana tor tne city ana county ine compensation of 70 per month for a faithful attention to the performance of lantoriM service unremittingly from 7 clock in the morning to fr piock at nignr witn onable compensation therefor sufficient ior me support ana nmimraiuice vi uic family of the servitor who fs fortunate or unfortunate enough to obtain employment In the municipal government The proposition that thai compensation should be reduced tt neh a figure as jxr sons employed la other places who are compelled by their necessities to accept Is monstrous and indefensible and as the people have avolce in tnls matter they do not desire that fce neoejtea of the applicant or Incumbent be taken advantage of but that a fitr and reasonable amount shall be paid for the serviced rendered to which no rrasontble pewon can object and your mraitfe take pleasure in denouncing any such assumptions Lviry encroachment of this character upon the wage worker tends to a reduction everywhere These reasons if no other induce your committee to Usregnrd the reduction of the force or tas compen sation paid td janitors in the City Hall elsewhere as suggested by bis honor the Mayor The appropriation for Golden Gate Parlrwas reduced from 231000 to 214000 on the recommendation of his honor the Mayor the Merchants As soclatlon estimating the sum of 800000 as sufficient This appropriation In tha first instance as estimated by your committee was considered barely sufficient but the judgment of the Mayor who Undoubtedly with other cltlxens is proud of its appearance and the genlua that controls in sDlres and beautifies this resort for the use of the nubile controlled It la well to 1 consider that those who can afford to have enjoyments suited to their tasta can not appreciate the necessity of our citizens having a park to be used in outdoor enjoyments and recreations Your Committee in tholr ntlmaia nf requirements of maintaining the cotomou schools provided the sum of 1232140 for this fiscal ear but at the Instance ot his honor the Mayor ha reduced the same to the sum of 1112x920 thAMrhinta Association estimate being 110420 It wuum seem mat tne trena 01 municipal action is to cripple the usefulness of this department to impose upon the school teachers the faults arising from a violation of public duty by public of ficers over which the teachers hae ro control and to pae the way to deprlvs them of their salaries to whjch they are Justly entitled Tho appropriation reported Justifies this pre sumption and until such time as tho teachers take other and different action in tne protection of their Indubitable rights in public matters the certainty remains that they will always he placed In the same position The consensus ot opinions expressed by his honor the Mayor and the Merchants Association however they may be received is to limit taxation ta the pledg exacted whatever may be the results and as conscientious men and representatives of the people your committee feel that the responsibility for this levy rests not alone upon the several political conventions but on the members of this Board and incidentally upon the Inlluency of his honor the Mayor and the Mer chants Association Our eltliens to some extenrtiave considered themselves and hav been fortunate In obtaining as their executive a millionaire who during his candidacy and his term of office has been very liberal In hU donatldns to various purposes but as to Incurring a bonded Indebtedness to thinking minds his position would be to pave the way to incur what the city and county has fortunately heretofore escaped and to make the taxpayers realize that all that glittersjs not gold The salary for thechlef clerk ol the District Attorney had been cut out abolishing the office but Judge Murphy appeared before the Board and explained that It would absolutely cripple his department If the office were abolished The 1500 required for the six months salary was then deducted from the appropriation for the water supply and the clerk was provided for 1 DEPUTIES AGREE TO A CCT County Cleric Deane Will Preserve HU Foree Intact The failure of the Supervisors to allow bounty Clerk Deane the appropriation he asked for will not necessitate thecurtail nient of the clerical force In the County Clerks office A reduction In the office force such as would be necessary to keep the salary list within the 0000 limit under the existing scale of wages would seriously Inconvenience the public and members of the bar and at the same time Interfere with litigation The clerks in the office have come to the rescue by offer in toaceept a reduction in their salaries County Clerk Deane has accepted their offer and the entire working force of the office will be retained KOT MAY JACKSON IHEWILlrOF LLOYD TBYIS 4 His Wife Given AH tf the Millionaires Estate 2 SHE IS TO ACT ALStf AS SOLE EXECUTRIX ISO BOXD REQUIRED FROM ASD 0
