PASSED OVER THE MAYORS VETO.
The City Trustees Reduce the City
Physicians Salary.
New Map of the City Cemetery Or
dered-Committee Appointed on
Police Regulations.

The City Board of Trustees held an ad-
journed meeting last night, but the main
object of interest being disposed of the
night before, there was a very small audi
ence.
Trustee Bragg stated that he made a
motion the night before to lay over Trus-
tee Devine's proposed ordinance reduc-
ing the City Physicians salary until
next Monday night. He did not know at
that time that any meeting woulG be
held tonight, or he would not have SO
moved.
He would now move to resclnd that
motion and take it up tonight.
Trustee Pennish said he thought that
some consideration should be shown to
the poor people, who were likely to need
medicine and medical attention as we'll
by night as by day. He believed that the
salary should be commensurate with the
work to be performed and the ability re-
Quired to fill it. He believed that fair
treatment should be accorded to the poor
as well as their more fortunate brethren.
The motion postponing the matter one
week was recinded.
Trustee Devine then moved that the
board pass the ordinance over the May
or's veto, supporting his motion with eX-
tended remarks, saying that the main
duty OF the physician would oe TO attend
to drunllS and cases at the Receiving Hos
pital. Ii physician does not like the
salary he need not take the place, plenty
of people can be found to take 1t.
Trustee Pennish said that it hardly
looked we'll to place the salary OF physl-
clan on the same plane as Plumbing In
spector or 81 coal passer of the water
works.
Some of the Trustees thought the honor
of the office and the standing in the pro-
fession counted for something.
The message was then passed over the
Mayors veto, Trustee Pennish voting no.
and Trustee Wachhorst refusing to vote.
This reduces the salary to 500 per month.
Trustee Tozer was excused from fur
ther attendance at the meeting.
NEW CEMETERY MAP.
The matter of retaining the two en-
ployes at the Helvetia Cemetery was then
taken up, and after short discussion,
was laid over till next Monday night.
Trustee DeVine said that he had found
that the map of the City Cemetery was
almost worn out, and ne thought that
there should be one prepared by which
those who had friends buried there years
ago could find their graves when they
wished. j. Ii. Miller, VINO was present,
could give some practical ideas as to the
cost of such map.
j. H. Miller, when asked, said that the
work could, he thought, be done in about
eight weeks, and thought a fair price
would be about Sl50.
Trustee Devine moved that the Mayor
be authorized to employ some competent
person-AIr. Miller, for instance-to make
proper map of the cemetery, at cost of
$l5U.
Trustee Kent said the charter pro-
hibited the members OF the board from
recommending any one for appointment
10 any position.
Trustee Devine said he was willing to
eliminate Mr.. Miller's name from the
motion.
Trustee Leonard favored waiting
while, 50 that the board could talk over
the matter among themselves and see
just what they wanted. There were
many other things wanted done at the
cemetery. lie would move as subSti-
tuie That the board appoint man OF its
own, II necessary, to make the maps.
Trustee Bragg moved that the board
authorize the making of map OF the
cemetery at cost not TO exceed Sl50.
IreSldent LaWton said he had been
looking into arrangements at the ceme
terry. y ragged, worn-out map hangs on
the wall. What is wanted is new out
line map. giving the boundaries, avenues,
etc. A map book should then be pre-
pared, giving all the details, size and loca-
tion OF lots, etc.
The motion that the board employ J.
II. Miller 10 make the map at a cost Of
$3.50 was then passed. Ayes-Davis,
Bragg, Wachhorst, Devine and Lawton;
noes-Kent, Leonard and Pennish.
THE CITY's SUITS.
The President called attention to two
letters in regard to the two suits in which
the city was interested, one being the
suit OF Drew KS. Rodgers and the other
the suit of Lincoln VS.. the city of
Sacramento. He thought it would be
well to refer them to the City Attorney
