MAYOR INVESTIGATING.

Looking Closely Into the Expenditures
OF the District Attorneys Office.
Mayor Pheian is preparing a COM
munication to the Board of Supervisors on
the subject of the expenditures of the
District Attorneys Office, that is expected
to contain some interesting figures and
facts.
The District Attorney recently applied
to have Attorney Dunno retained as
special counsel in spite OF the fact that
the fund out of which his salary is expe cted
to come is exhausted. He stated in his
petition that there are now fifty-eipht
criminals awaiting trial. and that their
cases should be closely attended to.
Mayor Phelan thinks that it is strange
that so many cases should be hanging fl re.
and has sent to the District ATTORNEY for
information as to how long they have been
on the court calendar, how and by whom
continuances were obtained and other
particulars. He is of the opinion that the
District Attorney should curtail expense.

Mayor Phelan called on Superintendent
OF Streets Ambrose for an explanation of
the matter, and that official declared that
the work was of first-ciass character.
Mayor Phelan was not satisfied with the
case as it stood and sent for Expert Hoff-
man OF the Street Department, who at
first insisted that the work was done in \
proper manner. but when closely cues.

better done.
He said that the contractors had taken
up the planking that protected the con-

One Of the most popular Of local horse

diminutive as one of the Rossow midgets

Bob, presumably named after the gentle

this chestnut horse when up on edge has

The race simmered down to a stretch duel
