The Board OF Works Case.
As the time for the decision in the
Of Works
interest in the matter is on the increase,
and speculation as To the outcome is keen.
1t is said taat the four Superior Judges
who will pass on the matter are divided on
the matter, two of them-Judges Ogden
and Ellsworth-being in favor of the board
now in power, and the others-Judges
Frick and Greene-favoring the ousted
Commissioners. Judge Frick decision will
in this case throw the balance in favor
of the deposed board, and Messrs.
Hughes and Miller will resume their seats.
Should this occur il is said that Old Pard
Bassett will receive seat on the board, as
the term of J. T. Carothers has expired
and the appointing of his successor lies
with Mayor Dayie. Judge Frick has be-
gun work on the decision and it will prob
ably be made public on Monday or Tues
day next.
Cont Get Their Salaries.
The city officials are dissatisfied about
not being able to collect their salaries
when there is $1,000 of the city's money
lying in the banks of Oakland. 1t seems
that the money cannot be transferred to
the city treasury without an order from
the Council. AS it is, the city officials are
compelled to have their salaries discount
ed at a heavy rate OF interest. Yesterday
Councilman Old Pard Bassett learned oil
the situation and he fastened to the City
Treasurer to straighten out things.

tried to explain matters to him. Bassett
was not satisfied, however. de claims that
1t is the fault of Treasurer Gilpin, on &C.
count of not notifying the Council that
finds were low. AS result, a resolution
will probably be introduced on Monday
evening, making provision for the pur
chase OF steel safe for the use of the
Treasurer, so that no money will have to
be deposited in the banks.
