SAN BERNARDNo Jan. 10.-supervisor Tur
ner was elected chairman of the board of
supervisors yesterday afternoon. The matter
hung in the. balance Tor three days and polit-
ical guessers we're growing weary before the
board finally got down to business. p
1t was supposed there were three candidates
in the field, but on he first ballot Turner re-
ceived three votes, with one for Supervisor
Newbury and one blank ballot. The board
has doue nothing except routine business
during the thres days. session, and adjourned
tonight until next week.
THEY WORKED OVERTIME.
Some OF the late tenants Of the court house
are pulling their brains to find some way to
get abound the law which makes them work
five days for nothing. When the officers were
inaugurated two years ago New Year fell on
Sunday, and consequently the first Monday
after January was January I'd. But this year
the New Year came on Tuesday, and the first
Monday after that date did not arrive until
the 9TH of the month. so the officers are eomr
PEELED to serve until that day In other words.
the official or legal year is five days longer
than the calendar year. and as they are paid SO
much for their services, the newly-elected
county auditor holds that they are not en-
tit cd to receive extra compensation for the
five extra days they have worked.

A4 FOR BETTER ROADS
The members of the newly constituted board
of supervisors accepted an invitation from the
grand jury Tuesday at ernoon and paid an Off
cial visit to that body. They talked about
..matters and things so one member of the
grand jury said, butthe supervisors were not
under such rigid instructions. Among other
roads. 1t was one of the purposes OF the grand
jury, in asking for the conference, to get the
sentiment OF the board on this very important
subject. An attempt will be made to come 10
an understanding. and then recommendations
can be made accordingly.
