his houses since. He believed that If the

not bring more than $500. Assessor Dali

omfture of a lady-Dr. Sarah Shuey,
president OF the board. 1t means that she
will be deposed from her position Of honor,
for such is the only manner in which the
affair OF year ago can be offset.
Last week the Board of Health. by the
aid of the homeopathic members recently
appointed by the Mayor. summary dis.
missed the allopathic Health Officer and
appointed one of their own school. At
their next meeting other heads will fall,
and it is expected that the secretary, Paul
Schaffer. will be succeeded by ex-Harbor
Commissioner G. 0. Alexander, who has
been favored by the Mayor, and who would
have been elected long ago but for the
negative vote OF DR.. Shuey.
1t has always been supposed that DR..
Sarah Shuey was appointed by Mayor
Davie for the express purpose of bringing
about change in the secretaryship.
Such is not the case, and according to the
story of one of the Mayors closest friends
the lady doctor owed her appointment to
the labor orator, Eugene Hough, who has
since located in the East.
Hough was one of the best informed and
most effective speakers in Oakland and
made the campaign that resulted in the
election of Davie. After the election
Davie asked Hough what he could do for
him.
II want nothing" said Hough. "lt
would destroy my usefulness If took any
municipal appointment. However, 1
want place for my friend Thurman. He
is worthy, has family and has poor
health"
Davie agreed 70 Go all he could for
Thurman and the secretaryship of the
Board of Health was decided upon.
Hough agreed to find doctor who was
high in the profession and who was favor
able to Thurman. He found DR.. Shuey
and the Mayor appointed her. When the
time came DR.. Shuey considered that the
best interests of the Office would be sub
served by retaining Paul schaffer. Thur
man was elected for two weeks, but
Schaffer was put back.
Then it was reported that the Mayor
and the doctor were enemies from hence-
forth. The story had no foundation in
fact, but was repeated so often that II
seemed at last as if the prlncipaIs he.
heved it.
Just before the allopaths went ont Of
Office month ago they appointed Dr
Shuey president and she still hoIds H.
Office. She Is also an allopath, so that the
other three members of the board. who are
of the same school, must choose between
their fealty to their profession, their GAL
lantry to lady and their loyalty to the
Mayor.
This matter possesses no interest for
me-" said the Mayor to-day. at is mis-
take to suppose that l am debating the
policy of the Board of Health. I believe
all the members are able physicians and
quite capable of managing the affairs of
the department. If DIR. Shuey be deposed
as president it certainly will not be
th rough any influence of mipe.''
