Repairing a Bridge.

Extra deputies" are no longer toler-
ated in the offices of the various county
ofhclals, since the recent decision of the
supreme Court declaring that they could
not draw their salaries from the county
funds.
IN some instances the doing away with
extra deputies worked great hardship
upon the county officers, particularly in
Inc District Attorneys Office. Mr.. Ryan
mas two departments of the Superior
court to attend to, and besides must
dance attendance upon the Supervisors,
DRAW UP COMPLAINTS
For Justice Court suits, Superior Court
lnformations, and attend to innumerable
details-all of which is entirely too much
for one man to do. The law was ap-
parently plain that Mr.. Ryan should not
have assistance. But the law must now
take back seat. Mr.. Ryan will have his
deputy and the county will pay his
salary, despite the decree of the Supreme
Court.
HOW IT IS DONE.
The District Attorney had a conference
with several of the Supervisors yester-
day, and later on presented Mr.. Jenkins
with a sheet of typewriter paper. This
jenkins signed and handed in for the
boards consideration. 1t reads as fol-
lows:

MR.. BATES KICKS.
A vote was called for and all the Super
visors voted for the resolution except
Mr.. Bates. The latter seemed to be
unified about something, and was not
long in telling what it was. He accused
the other members of INDUCING in funny
business" and not letting him in on it.
There was nothing funny about this
business" said Chairman Greer.
81 don't know about that,'' said Bates
''This is the first time l ever heard about
that resolution
District Attorney Ryan explained for
Mr.. Bates benefit that the resolution
simply legalized Mr.. Buckeyes appoint
ment, and that was all there was about it,
OTHER BUSINESS.
The board received remonstrance
from voters in Lee Township against the
changing of the voting place in Pre-
cinct II from Howell's to the Slough
House. This change was petltioned for
recently by another faction of voters.
The matter was referred to Supervisor
Jenkins, in whose district the polling
place is located.
Charles Connolly of Connolly Station
addressed the board with reference to an
old trestle bridge across a lagoon about
five miles east of Hicksville, near Fow-
ler's ranch. This bridge is in great de-
mand at this season Of the year, but has
become SO rickety that farmers are afraid
to drive over it, thereby suffering great
Inconvenience. Mr.. Connolly asked that
the board order the bridge repaired inn
mediately. An order to that effect was
made and Supervisor Jenkins was in
stucted to look after the matter.
DEANS PLANS.
George B. Dean, the bridge contractor,
whose drawings of the proposed new
Folsom bridge disappeared SO mystic
riously on Wednesday, appeared before
the board yesterday with full set of new
plans and specifications. This was quick
work, and took Chairman Greer's breath
away. tits strange that you should get
those done so quickly" suggested the
Chairman.
Dean did not notice the remark, but
said that inasmuch as the bridge matter
would not be taken up until Saturday he
would prefer to keep his plans until then.
''Mr. Dean, you will deliver those plans
right here" said the Chairman, irately.
''They are just as safe with us as they
are with you.'
Mr.. Dean left his plans.
The board audited a large number OF
bills and then adjourned until to-day.
