The Board of Works yesterday heard the complaint of the Laborers’ Protec- tive Union that John R. Blanchard, a street contractor, was working his men nine hours a day in violation of the charter. Blanchard explained that the men were employed on private work, over which the board has no jurisdic- tion. Blanchard was told that the board would not tolerate the working of la- borers on public work in excess of the eight-hour restriction. The board also reprimanded the firm of Flinn & Treacy for constructing a sidewalk on Bernice street without a permit and for other alleged delin- quencies. The board opened bids for the filling' in of the Precita Valley Swamp, the lowest being from the Western Con- struction Company, and for the bitum- inizing of California street, from Mason to Jones, the lowest being from the City Street Improvement Company.

Acted in Crooked Manner | REDWOOD CITY, Feb. 7.—The scan- ! dal over the management of the Poor ¥arm and Hospital of this county ended tuis afternoon by the Grand Jury bringing in a true bill against Albert Eikerenkotter, superintendent of the farm, charging him with perjury com- mitted while he was under examination befere the jury. He was asked under oath if it were not true that he broke | a colt belonging to one W. Hunterville | of San Mateo and he answered “No. The jury was satisfied to the contrary. Judge Buck fixed the defendant’s bail | at $1000 and ordered the clerk to im- mediately issue a bench warrant and place it in the hands of the Sheriff for service. Late this afternoon the jury made its report t¢ Judge Buck and was dis- | | charged. In accepting the report the | | Judge said: “If all the public officers | | of the county were as conscientious as | they were their duties would have been | much lighter.” | Judge Buck deciared that it had come | to his knowledge that the jury had | been approached and influence had been | used upon the members to prevent their taking any action against the nickel-in-the-slot machines; that even a county official had used his influence in behalf of the machines. “Whatever | actlon you took,” said the court, “made | little différence, as the State law fully | covered the matter and I would see | that the law was enforced.” | SCORES EIKERENKOTTER. The jury reported against the use of | the county roads for railroad purposes | and recommended that all railroads be required to acquire private rights of | way. It scored Albert Bikerenkotter, | superintendent of the County Poor{ Farm and Hospital, and his manage- | ment, declaring him incompetent and | mentally incapable of committing any | crime for which he should be convicted. Concerning Eikerenkotter the report | says: 7 This body met at the county poor farm on | November 27, 1905. After the usual individual inspection a formal meeting was called. S perintendent Etkerenkotter was closely ques- tioned. His answers to such questions as were put to him were unsatisfactory and mislead- ing_ jsclosing Incompetency and gross neglect | of his dutles, a condition of affairs that is a | disgrace to Eikerenkotter and reflects upon | the Supervisors, who are responsibje for his | incompetency. | His books are not properly kept, no entries | being made of numerous jtems amounting in value to over $750. Bills are not properly kept and verified and no inventory of the county’s property has been filed for the years 1903 and 1905. For the year 1905 the cost was 53.7 cents a day for each inmate, an increase of 19 cents over the previous year, and making a grand total of $6177 S6. 3 Numerous visitors are entertained with all the delicacles, in season and out. while the fooq given the inmates is of a coarse quality. The scandalous condition at this institution is | a disgrace to this county. | As a tonic for the inmates Eikerenkotter recommended coal oil. It s to be presumed that the barrel of whisky furnished the farm is consumed by the superintendent as a_tonic. The testimony shows that the beef and hog | industry 1s being worked to a limit. Beef | charged to the county by the quarter dwindies | from the time it leaves the shop until it is only a good sized rodst when it gets to the courty farm, Full-grown hogs from the farm hecome pigs worth $2 or §3, If the money is fortunate enough to reach the County Treas- urer. NO EGGS FOR INMATES. One hundred and seventy thoroughbred hens, which cost $32 a month to feed, become mere scrubs that do not produce. When Efkeren- kotter explained to this body why the in- mates are not occasionally given eggs it was learned /that the farm cows never have calves and the farm milk never ylelds butter. These same cows are costing the taxpavers over $5 a day, according to Eikenerkotter and the bills rendered for their keeping. From nine to fifteen head of stock belonging hill and Mr. Plump have been kept at the farm and fed at the taxpayers' expense. During the Investigation Eikerenkotter's resignation was handed to this body to be presented to the Board of Supervisors by a committee of this body, the resignation being lala_over by them for future action. After- Superintendent Eikerenkotter, at the solicitation of the jury, had presented to its foreman his written resignation and volun- tarily promised to restore to the counts the different sums of money received by him from sales of the property of the county and there- after. retained by him, he imvressed the jury With_ feelings amounting to pity for him ‘and if his subsequent actions and conduct had acted as a counter irritant we would fesl very much inclined to applv a dose of white- the wash, theory that although the evidence vely vroved that Efkeren- kotter unlawfully and felonlously disvosed of the property of the county and thereafter embezzled the proceeds resulting from such Qisposition, nevertheless his mental caliber fs. or was, perhaps not of such high order as to warrant his conviction —_—e——————— ‘Worth Knowing —that Allcock’s are the orlginal and genuine porous plasters; all others are imitations. * PRt e TWO BOYS ARE LICENSED TG HUNT GAME IN COLORADO DENVER, Feb. 7.—Dean Dickason, aged 8, and Gray Dickason, aged 6, have been licensed under the laws of Colorado “to hunt game, quadrupeds and birds In the State of Colorado dur- ing the season of 1906.” The boys had some trouble obtaining a license from i the County Clerk at Lamar. An ex- amination of the law revealed that no discretion i left with the officer, as his duties are “purely ministerial.” The boys were given the first license issued in Prowers County in 1906.and the action of the County Clerk is in- dorsed by Game Warden Woodward. The boys are the sons of D. H. Dicka- son, at one time Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives. ———— Californians in Paris.
