 THE BOARD GOES TT ALONE.

By vote of seven to three yesterday the Board of Supervisors overruled the veto of the Mayor and allowed the Au- gust and September bills of the Gas and Electric Company amounting in the az gregate to $48,S42 86 The bills came up in the regular order of business, and Su- pervisor Rottanzi got up to say that he had looked into the law upon which Mayor Phelan had based his veto of Oc- tober and he found no reason for beat ing the gas company out Of what was justly due it. The company had fur nished the goods, he said, and there was no reason why payment should longer be delayed, the Mayor to the contrary not withstanding.
