ACME CLUBS LADIES' NIGHT"

yesterday paid in the Supervisors session,
and some old scores were settled. Super
visor Bart Morgan was absent, and Super
Visors Martin, Pelouze and Bailey c0nStl-
ruted themselves a solid three and against
the protests of Supervisor johnson, now
filling Plunkeit's uneXpred term, the
three made several very sensational
moves.
DR.. Shirk of the County Infrmary sent
in his resignation, which was accepted.
and in his place DR.. William a. Clark OF
Alameda was appointed. DIR. Blood is
visiting physician al the infirmary, but he
did not resign. He was not given time TO.
On motion Of Supervisor Pelouze the posi-
ton was declared vacant. Dr. Blood was
unceremoniously bounced" and the solid
three then proceeded 10 place DR.. Shirk in
his stead.
The position of Superintendent of the
Innrmary commands salary of $125 per
month, and that of visiting physician $75.
The changes were all made in the face
of the vigorous protests of Supervisor
johnson, who did everything to stem the
tide. Finally, in sheer desperation he
threw up his hands and told the three 10
90 ahead with their programme. but be
for the outgoing members to allow the
new members chosen at the last election TO
make these appointments.
When Mr. johnson requested that they 60
ahead with the rest of the programme, Super
VISOR Martin stated that they had no further
changes 10 make at,present. but there Is an i'm
preston about mat there was another change
in prospect 1t was understood 10 be on the
cards that DR.. Stratton, visiting physician at
Il
his place filed by DR.. Briggs. This whether
Stratton sends in his resignation or not.
The new board viii consist OF MeSSrs. Bailey,
PelOuZe, johnson, IalcOtt and Church, the
TWO last elected November 6. aud already
there is talk of their being made into railroad
board OF equalization 10 offset The work con-
templated by Assessor elect Dalton. IL Is well
understood IN railroad circles that The corpora
tiOn cannot control Dalton, and that gentle
man himself says they viii not attempt it. But
as a Board of Equalization the Supervisors
could undo all his Work. The question Is, who
Will constitute The solid three In the new
board.
at the Council Last Night.
Resolved. That the City Attorney be aud is
hereby authorized and instructed TO advise the
Council OF the necessary steps TO be taken 10
annex additional territory to the city of Oak

mousy adopted by his colleagues. This Is an
indication Of Oakland's recently awakened am
bition 10 become great city by absorbing all
The bay cities between the northern boundary
of Berkeley and the southern boundary of
Alameda and resolving the whole into The
city and county of Oakland. Alameda, how
ever has already displayed her opposition
10 the plan, so the ambitious city Is cOaXngly
reaching out toward classic Berkeley. AT pres
ent Thirty-sXth street forms the northern
boundary of the city, out the idea now is 10
absorb TemeScal and establish the northern
limit some distance beyond the Eower-hOuSe of
The Telegraph-aVenue line All that the Coun-
ell wants now IS TO know how 10 accomplish the
grab. Councilman Dalton said last night:
For some time the people OF Temesca have
evinced desire TO become part of our city, and
we now want TO begin to take the steps neceS
sary 10 bring them in"
Mr.. Dalton introduced another resolution in
which he severely scored Street Superintendent
Harrison ana directing the Board of Public
Works 10 explain why they had not in obedi-
euce 10 a resolution passed by the Council on
June 20 last investigated the charges made
against Harrison because of his conduct in the
matter of accepting apologize work done on
Eighth street Some OF the Councilmen, how
ever thought the language OF the resolution TOO
severe and IL was voted down. By neat bit of
strategy Dalton again brought up substantially
The same resolution, although in a different
form, aud IL was adopted unanimously. The
Board of WORKS Will now have To explain their
TemiSsnesS.

edly be lively scramble for the plum between
