Some Important Matters Acted Upon
Yesterday.
The board of supervisors held rather
busy and important session yesterday.
All five of the members were present,
and Chairman Cook presided.
WANT JOBS.
A petition was presented by J. Ralph
Dominguez and J. B. Woods asking
their appointment as official court inter-
prefers, at salary of $125 per month,
payable monthly. In their petition the
two applicants cite the fact that they
are acquainted with the Spanish lam
guage.
The members of the board discussed
the matter TO some considerable extent.
There was some doubt about the author
lty OF the supervisors to create the
offices of court interpreters. Then, too.

advisable to have some one appointed
who was linguist and could speak Ger

After some discussion it WAS decided
to refer the petition to a special commit
tee OF two consisting of Supervisors For
rester and Francisco.
