John Mitchell of the Board of Super- | visors and Supervisor Rowe over the | payment of the bills of the County In- | firmary. Mr. Rowe protested that he had not been consulted as to the ap- | pointment of the employes, and he vot. ‘ed against the payment of their sal- aries. | Chairman Mitchell explained that the | appointments had been left in the - hands of Dr. Clark, the superintendent of the institution, in order to keep the Infirmary as far as possible out of politics. Rowe refused to listen to this that he should have been consulted in the matter. With fists clenched the irate Super- visor turned upon Chairman Mitchell ylnd said: “You are not the whole board, Mr. IMltchell even if you have a few brains, and as long as I belong to it I am going to enter my protest against such proceedings as this. Nothing was ever said to me about giving Dr. Clark this authority. The reason is clear, though. You knew I would op- pose it.”” Despite the protest of Mr. Rowe, however, the board passed a blanket resolution authorising Dr. Clark to make such appointments as he saw fit, and providing for the payment of these appointees. Acting on this resolution, Dr. Clark made the following appointments: F. Rossl, laundryman, $15; B. S. Page, of- ficers’ dining-room, $26; Mre. A. Obrion, matron’s keeper, $10: H.
