AND EAR TESTED, 7O TAKE ACTION) FORFEITS CHECK School Board Adopts a|May Not Name Succes-|Fails, to Enter Into a Contract Awarded by Board of Works. Charter Provision Gives &b-|Permit to Erect Building in sentee Until October 18 to Return. e Mayor Schmitz stated yesterday that he would not take up the matter of Po- lice Commissioner Newhall overstaying his leave of absence for probably a month and would probably not take action in the premises at all. Newhall's leave of | Bixty days expired last Tuesday and he had all day yesterday to put in an ap- | pearance, but did not do so. The language of the charter is rather ambiguous regarding the absence of city officlals, Mayor Schmitz thinks. He points to section 10 of article XVI headed ‘“Mis- cellaneous,” which says: ““An office becomes vacant when the in- cumbent ¢ * * shall have been absent from the State without leave for more than sixty consecutive days.” According to this language, it would appear that Newhall would have to re- main away for an additional sixty-one days In order to be rendered amenable to the section quoted, as he has had per- mission to be absent from the State for sixty days, which has just expired. Again section 3 of the same chapter says: “No officer of the city and county shall absent himself from the State; but he may once only during his term of office 50 absent himself for a period of not more than sixty days upon the written per- mission of the Mayor so to do. Viola- tion of this section shall be sufficient cause for the removal of any officer vio- lating the same.” Under the latter section officlal proof would have to be produced that Newhall had been absent from the State for more than 'sixty days. While proceedings for his removal, which would be slow at best, were under way he might return to the Excess of Legal Height Is Denied. SRS S The Board of Public Works yesterday declared forfeited the check for $240 de- posited by Walter Cole after a contract had been awarded to him to construct sewers in the vicinity of Persia and China avenues. Cole falled to enter into the contract and consequently the check was ordered deposited In the city treas- ury in accordance with section 17, chap- ter 1, article 6 of the charter. This is | the first instance on record of a check having been confiscated by the city for fallure to assume a contract. The board formally denied the applica- i for a permit to erect a building four and a half feet In excess of the legal height at the corner of Golden Gate avenue and Octavia street, although the Supervisors had granted a permit by nance which the Board of Public Works holds is illegal. The contract for macadamizing Arling- ton street was awarded to the San Fran- feisco Construction Company. Resolutions for private contracts were adopted for the bituminizing of Twenty- third street between Dolores and Chatta- nooga; Twenty-fifth street between Fol- som and Treat avenue; Twenty-fourth street between Vermont and San Bruno avenue; Harrison street between Twen- ty-fourth and Twenty-fifth. The specifications for the sprinkling, avenue were approved. Regarding the petition of owners that Buchanan and property ‘Webster | streets be graded between Hermann and Market, the City Engineer reported that the cost would be far in excess of one- half the assessed valuation of abutting city and in the event that he desired | property and suggests that provision be to retain the office could seek refuge be- hind the first section quoted on the plea that he had not been absent sixty days without leave. Under that section New- hall would have until Uctober 18 next to come within its provisions. The point is a fine one, and Mayor Schmitz fealizes its force. Another reason given by Mayor Schmitz for not taking immediate action is that Newhall has only four and a half months AN 3 | more to serve and he fails to see why Both Receive Fractured Skulls and there should be any wild scrambling for the office. Certain influences are at work to force the Mayor to take Newhall's scalp, but his Hohor is in no hurry to grind the political axes of outside parties who have failed to show any particular interest in his own welfare. ———— Examination for Truckmen.
