fight to keep the Hoard of PublleWork an Independent administration machine will have to be fought again Supervisor DAncona opened the debate by saying that the Board of Works being the agent of the Board of Supervisors could not proceed with the expenditure of the inonev proyided by the sale of bond without ma way Being paved by the Supervisor themselves and that therefore it was according to good public policy mai jne finance uommittee ne given some such method as the biiKnrovidi for asetertalnlng whether or not the money appropriated was being honestly expended Supervisor Galleher
