The original proposition contained In the
resolution introduced by Supervisor Britt
was to name Joseph P. Dunno at
monthly salary of $3.50 as such deputy.
When the resolution came up yesterday
Supervisor Clinton moved to Indefinitely
postpone, and said that there was no need
for the appointment. A deputy had been
appointed during the Durrant case, but

were made in opposition to the appoint
ment by Mayor Phelan and Supervisors
Dodge and Clinton. Supervisor Britt
spoke in favor of it. Supervisor Smith
said that he had found that there are
many criminal cases to be tried, and that
it would be better economy to employ the
deputy than it would be to support forty
six persons indefinitely who are in prison.
