BUDD PLANS CHANGES.
T5om1s 0'NeH Sad to Be Slated foI
Superintendent of Preston
ScbDoL

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May Lit is
rumored that Governor Budd has some
important changes in contemplation,
among which is the removal OF the pres
ent Superintendent of the Preston Sch DOL
of Industry, who will be replaced by ex-
Sheriff O'Neil of this city.
Mr.. O'Neil is an ardent Democrat, who
contributed largely to Budd's nomina-
ton at the Democratic convention and
to whose handiwork can be traced the
large vote polled by the incumbent in
Sacra mento City and County. During
the last session of the Legislature it was
at one time surmised that Mr.. O'Neil
would replace Warden Aull at the Folsom
State prison. but the scheme fell through
1t is claimed also, that the Governor is
seriously considering the advisability of
removing the State Printing Office to
either the Whittier or Preston School,
and in the future have the work per-
formed by the inmates, but it is said that
State Printer johnson will not only file a
strong protest, but that he has openly de-
clared that bcing under bond to care for
the machinery, he will not allow one
single type removed from the building.
