what the motive Of the. Supervisors might:
be in passing the franchises yer the Mayors
vetces. as alleged in the complaint. they. are
clothed WITH the pnwerto DO so and must
be held responsible for. their own acts.y
Counsel for a .pickpocket might make the,
same argument with equally good grounds
as this counsel for tire solid niue. There APP
pears to. be.law somewhere to restrain a
private citizen from committing Crime,
but no law to restrain an cficiat from coui-
hitting any kind Of ofFeEse. The depoue-:
ment was as unexpected as the perforrnance
was sensational. Ebert got the floor when
the Supervisors met and explained at. some
length tie necessities OF the city in the way
Of a new sewer system. qhe hands Of tie
clock were approaching the hour Of twelve
when one Of the solid nine: meyed an -ad-
iournment, which motion; Ebert seronded.
The Supervisors adjourned 20 meet Tues
day. As their terms expire with the year
the presumption is that. they propose To
hold over until thes Election Gommlssionets
are satisfied that nothing is to- be gained by
deferring an Official announcement OF the
result Of the November election.
