tached, but he preferred to settle up all
claims, which he did before leaving
Chicago.
Mir. AlcMullen wanted the board to re-
inburse him for the money that he was
out of pocket, but as the Worlds Fair
Committee had made no report to the
Board of Supervisors the latter had no
facts on which to take action in the mat
ter.
Supervisor Jenkins said it was under
stood the county had received premiums
at the Mechanics Fair last winter in San
Francisco, but the board had received no
official Information on the subject, and

bursements had been. The county had
appropriated $500 for that and the

report from the committee.
