Supreme Court Evades Point in Injunction Suit Filed | by the Ex-County Clerk —_—— The Supreme Court sent Ex-County Clerk Mahoney a rare specimen i amento yes- legal gold brick from Sa terday. It cost a considerable amount of money at that. The ccurt decides that Mahoney is no longer County Clerk, but neglects to state whether | he is entitled to the position or wheth- er the term of office should be two or | Sour years. Many public cials were | awaiting the court’s decision in this matter and yesterday afternoon when the result of the litigation became known, there was much laughter at the erudite joke of the State's highest tribunal. About a year ago it became appar- ent to Mahoney and his masters that | there was no chance of re-election. There had been many disputes between members of the legal. fraternity as to whether the County Clerk term { should be of two or four years. It occurred to Mahoney or some of his | confreres that if the case should be brought to the attention of the courts a decision might be secured in favor of the proposition that the county offi- cials should hold office for four years. Richard Bradley, a taxpayer, there- fore brought suit to restrain the elec- tion commission from proceeding with its preparations for the election of No- vember, 1903. The plaintiff’s plea was that unnecessary expense would be en- tailed by hclding biennial instead of quadrennial elections. Able attorneys were secured and civil case fees, amounting to a considerable sum, were paid before the matter was finally brought to the attention of the Su- preme Court. The court passed the case to the commissioners. The last named jurists state that Mahoney ‘has left his office and that his ‘successor has been installed. Such being the case, the taxpayer can get no relief as the election has been held | and the money he sought to save has been - spent. The question then is “purely a2bstract and moot.” The ac- tion is dismissed in the following words: “The demands of actual prac- tical litigation are too pressing to per- mit the examination or discussion of academic -questions such ‘as this case in its present situation presented.” For how long a term are San Francisco's county officers elected is a question not yet settled. —_———— Yosemite Amazes Them.

CONFISCATES flIS DEFOSIT Board of Works Release Martin From His Bid on| Junk Sold by the City - Darby Martin, who bid $1730 on a ]ol' of old junk belonging to the city and afterward regretted it, was released from his bid yesterday by the Board of Pubiic Works on his agreeing to forfeit his deposit of $100. The money was d by the board, who will ask the Supervisors for authority to sell the junk. The Bureau of Streets was directed R. Pechin, principal of the Rincon Gram- mar School, regarding the bad condi- tion of Vassar place. The Bureau of Engineering reported in favor of the extension of Hoffman avenue, but sugge:ted that the prop- erty owners interested Sring the matter to the atention of the Supervisors, so that provision may be made In the next budget for the improvement. Commissioner Woodward requested that the Supervisors be asked to ap- propriate funds to enable the assign- ment of a larger force for making sur- veys for the establishment of street lines and grades. The Bureau of Ingineering reported that it will cost $30,450 to repave with bitumen the streets surrounding the City Hall. The petition*of property owners that buildings maintained by the San Fran- cisco Brick Company be removed from State street was flled, as there are no funds to make the necessary surveys. The obstructions on Dunean street, between Dolores and Church, were or- dered removed. The appointment by President Schmitz of W. J. Holman as elevator inspector was ratified by the board. Bids were opened from Flinn & Treacy, the City Street Impovement Company and C. S. Harney for the im- provement of Dupont street, from Montgomery avenue to Vallejo street, and from Owen McHugh, McHugh & Sheerin and John R.

Those who have been to the Valley bring back glowing accounts of its beauty. The Santa Fe is the beautiful way and lies through blooming meadows and giant forests. Santa Fe stages are the only ones that pass through the famous California Big’ Trees on the way without extra expense or ‘side ride. The Santa Fe has also the lowest farg of $2850 for the round trip.

The total amount asked for Election Commissioners is § 6, $5000 {of which is to cover the salaries of the | Commissioner: $2400 for the Regl trar's salary; $37,000 for the deputie $17,750 for the expenses of the coming | precinet registrat $12,606 for the | primary elections; $ 00 for the gener- |.al elections, and $1500 for incidental land sundry expens In addition tc ! these amounts they ask for $5000 for erecting new booths, $10,000 for bond electicn ard $11,000 for an water supply. The entire morning was taken up in going over the figures and everything was found satisfactory until the ques- tien of salaries was brought Commissiorer Voorsanger. Voorsanger said that for two months pricr to elec- tions there are at working in the Registrar's office and that the regular office pay roll is raised from - $18,900 to $33,700. Supervisor Brandenstein, who was in the chair, asked if, the men employed tempor- arily were civil service men. Registrar Adams said they were not, and a heated discussion between Su- by the the ecommission followed. vice men?” asked Brandenstein. “Because we have found that their services are unsatisfactory.” “But by what right did you employ these men, contrary to the charter, which provides that all deputy regis- trars be chosen from the civil ser list?"” TOOK ADVANTAGE OF WORDING. “We base cur claim upon the broad | meaning of the charter. The clause e service men in our office is unconsti- tutional.” “What is your objection to the civil service system, Mr. Devoto?” 4T have no objection to it.” “Then why didn't you do all in your power to see that none but civil service men were appointed?” “Because the other members of the board wanted it the other way."” “T think,” Roberts, “that Mr. casting insinuations upon the honesty of the Board of Election Commissioners Jand that he has far surpassed the bounds of his jurisdiction.” Brandenstein replied that he was yery sorry to see that the conditions were marching back furiously to the old days. He explained, however, that he was merely investigating the re- | quirements of the various departments and that he must do so0 even to the great displeasure of his fellow politi- cians. The matter was finally dropped and will be taken under advisement. The committee adjourned until 2 o’clock.

BRAUNHART JOINS IN. Supervisor Braunhart arrived late | but just in time to hear a discussion on | the employment of non-eivil service service men. He joined in vigorously and maintained that the Board of Edu- | Board Will Shortly Receive Semsa~ tional Report on Maternity Homes and Foundling Asylums. The Board of Health will resume publication of the monthly health bul- letin beginning with the current month. The Bertillion system of clas- sification of disease been adopted and will be incerporated in the bul- letin. District 'Health Officer Adler and Special Inspector M. J. White will in should not-be allowed to employ any men other than teachers and those con- | nected with educational matters, and that all other men, such as painters and carpentérs, should be employed | by the Board of Works. The trouble arose through the testi- mony of Inspector of Schools Me- Sheehy, who said that of the eighteen | men under him, there are several who are not civil service men. School Director Roncovieri testified to | the effect that at the time the men | were employed, there were no eligible carpenters or painters on the civil serv ice list, and that the youngest painter on the list was more than 62 years of | age. He was known as “the Kid"” and | was too old to climb a ladder. \ The meeting adjourned and the mat- | ter was taken under advisement. ———— sh military force now South Africa costs $400,000°a week, is officially stated. investigations of maternity homes, foundling asylums and baby farms.
