That from $500 to 800 officers would have
10 be appointed, and Mayor Ebert added
mat only the best men should be selected.
lax Collector Block said that IL the COM
mittee should recommend the right kind
OF ald ne would be glad to accept it.
City Attorney Creswell preferred TO
nave lists sent in by the county committees
OF tne political parties, but said that the
Ilgnt 10 reject names should be reserved
by the board,
Inere was then a discussion as to
whether lists should be received from the
Non-Partlsan party, which it was stated
nad polled the largest number Of votes at
the last election. Auditor Broderjck said
that the law only referred TO the national
parties.
The board considered the question of
the assessment roll, which Commissioners
Fltzhugh and Block declared was not
sale guide TO follow in the selection OF
election officers. 1t was finally decided to
receive lists from the county committees,
and that the board should select whoms0-
ever it should see fit.
Registrar Evans asked for ten extra
clerks to draw up the lists from the assess
ment rolls. Broderick opposed the con-
cession, but it was finally granted.
Mr. Block proposed that the Registrars
clerks should be selected from the oppOs-
ing political parties, and Mayor Ebert ap
proved of the innovation. Registrar
Evans said he would consider the matter,
and Black bluntly declared that the Reg
istrar would probably do nothing but con-
slider it,
The opinion furnished Max Pepper by
Patrick Reddy to the effect that the Regis
trar's CLERKS were not authorized To adj
minister the oath 10 persons desiring to
register was taken up. and the City and
County Attorney expressed the opinion
n
deputies to perform that duty. He said
that the courts had so ruled when they
sent man 10 San Quentin for swearing
falsely under an oath administered by a
deputy. If the clerks were not permitted
to administer the oath central registration
could not be carried on, which Mr.. Cres-
we'll thought was a result not to be de-
sired. The law, he contended, provided
for both central and precinct registration.
and he for one would not favor the aboli-
ton of either.
Commissioner Broderick saw no neces-
slty for the appointment Of deputies, and
was opposed to central registration as it
threw the work into The hands of the
party to which the Registrar belonged.
Reddy's opinion was ordered filed. in other
words buried.
