Ing Is said about The repeal of the salary now
paid II members of the Board Of Works. which
is $1,000 year each.
This is pointed out as the objections bic feat.
ure OF the amendments. There is fear that
besides the regular salaries drawn down by
the CITY Engin er and the City Attorney they
Will also get the 5000 extra allowed IN m and
the present salary of the members of the board
A member OF the City Council was spoken TO
iast night on the subject, and he said The whole
scheme IN amending The charter was 10 lessen
city expenses by doing away with the Board OF
Public Works, ana that when this board was
voted out by the adoption of the amendments
1t would simply carry its salary with IT, ''If
there is no board there will be no salary and
the objection on the salary score is not a valid
one. AT any rate, the amendments place tbe
pay OF the ex-officIO members OF the board 10 be
at $500 each for extra services and DO not saw
they shall be paid any more. 1t seems to me
that ought to settl it,"
How They Did in Pleasanton.
II the report of A. c. Vaudervoort of Pleas
anton be true, there. was some hing very lax
about the way affairs were conducted in that
town on election day.
Mr. VanderVoort sends IN vigorous protest
against the counting of the Pieasanton vote.
The vote was cauvassed by the Supervisors re-
gardless of The protest put IN case there is a
contest, as IL seems likely there will be for the
office OF County Treasurer, the evidence offered
by Nandervoort might be very material. In his
protest that gentleman says:
PLEAsANroN, November 16, 1894.
