The San Francisco call., 1898-10-27

For performing this part of the sworn duties of his office in a slipshod, per functory and illegal manner he obtained from the city and county treasury in 1887 the sum of $231l b and in 1898 the sum of $231S 25. The roll as it stands IS written up by the clerks and depu- ties of the Collector, who receive no ex- tra compensation for their services, while he, who performs absolutely no part of the duty he is charged with by law, puts the entire amount in his ca pacious pocket It is charged that dur ing the first year of his incumbency, to wit, the year of 1893, he got several of his personal appointees in the office to make oath tO the fact that they had performed the duty set forth in the law, but that they received none of the compensation. Since then he has grown very much bolder. He presents only one demand at the treasury now, al though the work is generally done by others.
 The meanest part of this annual com edy, which partakes so largely of fraud that the attention of the Board of Su- pervisors and of the Grand Jury is re- spectfully called to it, is yet to come. AS heretofore stated there are large number ot persons exempted by the laws of the State of California and of the United States, but this greedy and aVar1ciouS reformer stops at nothing While collecting his nickels. To him all coons look alike. He spares neither the lame, the blind, the halt, the leprous, nor those who are about to cross the river, and he even demands his pound of flesh from those who have gone to the undiscovered country from whose l bourne no traveller returns. And all in the glorious cause of reform, as ex- emplified by Jimmy the Hefter, the new Boss in the Silk Hat.
