WILL SAVE A MILLION A YEAR.
Flowers Action Approved by Low

The news that Gov. Flower had APP
proved the Sheriff's and Dock bills. two
of the important reform measures
championed by The World' and passed
by the Legislature, was received with
EXPLANATIONS of Joy by every friend of
good government.
The Dock bill Is a law clearly In the
interest of the taxpayers. 1t abolishes
the %iniquitous system of giving out dock
work by days labor to favorite contrac-
tors, which has cost the city twice as

A politician remarked this afternoon:
ANDY White, who resigned an 5000 a

The Sheriff's bill provides that the
Sheriff shall receive a salary OF 5000 a
year In lieu OF a salary OF 81, 900 n
fees under the old law. The Sheriris
fees last year amounted to $500
The law does not affect the present
sheriff in any way. and as he Is barred
by law from being a candidate at the
next election he does not care personally,
but as a politician he thinks II will make
candidates for the Shrievalty scarce next

One OF the objects in reducing the
Sheriff's income was to stop to some
