DEPUTIES.
The Senate County Government Com

County Officials.

The Senate COMMITTEE on County
met last night, Chairman Earl presiding
Senate Bill No. l39, which is designed
to increase the salaries of several county
officers of Alameda, and to allow the Dis
trict Attorney two deputies at salary of
s., 100 per year each, was considered.
At the suggestion of Senator Berry this
bill was referred to the Alameda delega-
ton. 1t was also agreed to notify every
Senator to report to the committee what
his respective committee wanted in the
way of changing the county government
would be facilitated.
Senator Mathews bill amending the
County Government Act, so as to facili-
tate the running up of titles, was laid
over, as the Senator was not prepared to
demonstrate the advantages of his pro-
posed amendment.
Senator Mathews bill, providing that
the County Auditor must make monthly
statement of all claims passed by the
Supervisors and audited by him, and
must publish the same each month
was then taken up. The author
made quite speech in favor of his

manipulation of bills. When the quar-
terly report, as now provided for by law
was published, it was too late to stop the
leakage. Mr.. Mathews said he was con-
fident that the law he proposed would
work great reform. They had ''ring"

treasury rapidly.
The other members objected to the bill.
as it would prove expensive and work a
hardship in their counties.
After some discussion Senator Mathews
withdrew his bill in order to amend it so
that it would apply only to counties of
the second class, and thus reach Los An
geles.
Senate Bill No. 100, another of Mr..
Mathews, which proposed to consolidate
the offices of County Tax Collector and
County Treasurer, was next considered.
The general law was read with refer
ence to the powers of Supervisors, show
ing that they can now consolidate the Of
fees as suggested by the Senator in his
bill. But he wanted it made mandatory,
as the Supervisors would not make the
change. 1t was agreed that this bill
should be amended so as to apply to Los
Angeles County alone.

TcoNT1NUED FROM FIFTH pAaE.l

Senate Bill No. 50 wGs another Commit
tee of Safety bill aimed at the County Clerk
of San Francisco. Its object is to do
away with great many OF the fees col
1ected by that officer, and provides that
the salaries of all county officers shall con-
stitute their only compensation. The
bill was recommended for passage.
Senator Fay spoke in favor of Senate
Bill No Sc, which is a San Francisco
measure and is aimed at the Board of New
City Hall Commissioners of that city. 1t
proposes to allow the Commissioners to
continue with the construction of the
building, but takes the duty of furnishing
of the rooms out of their hands and
places it in the hands Of the Board of Su-
pervisors. The bill was recommended
for passage.
Senator Fay's bill (No. 81 to amend the
San Francisco Police Court Act, designed
to prevent the Clerks of those courts from
getting away with the fees, was laid over
Tor future consideration.
Senate Bill No. 90, amending the Act
relative to the maintenance of public
parks, was next taken up. Its author,
Senator Mathews, addressed the commit
tee, saying that it proposed to put the
control of the parks in tie hands of the
city governments-tha is cities having
between $1,000 and 100000 inhabitants
instead of having the Commissioners ap-
pointed by the Governor. The measure.
he said, would not affect cities the size of
San Francisco. 1t was decided to report
the bill back with recommendation that
1t do pass.
Senate Bill No. 80, providing that
Auditors must publish monthly reports of
all claims passed by the Board of Super
visors and audited by him, giving the
names OF persons in whose favor war
rants were drawn, and for what amodnt
the publication to be made in two lead
ing dailies of opposite political taith-was
next considered.
Senator Broderick thought the general
law, which now requires quarterly state
ments from the Auditors, was sufficient.
The proposed measure would entail a
great expense IL San Francisco.
Senator Mathews thought the people
should know where their money is going

pected to publish all of the claims in their
reports OF proceedings.
After some further discussion the bill
was laid over for further consideration.
