A POLITICAL GAME
a. RIVERSIDE NON-PARTISAN
GIVEN TOO MUCH POWER
The Republican Bosses Influence the
Chairman of the Board Of
Trustees

RIVERSIDE, May Sat meeting of
the city trustees today the chairman
sprung something of a sensations when he
announced that he had decided to recon-
struct the committees of the board as an
nounced by him two weeks ago. The COM
mittees appointed by Mr.. Kingman at that
time did not meet with the commentator
OF the powers that be in the Republican
party, and it is thought the change has
been made largely in answer to the re-
quest of the leaders, who desired tina.
Trustee Morse, who was elected as nom
partisan, be not given so much prominence
on the committees.
The committees are revised as follows:
Streets-Trustees Morse. La Rue and
Brown.
Finance-Trustees Peters, La Rue and
Morse.
Fire Departmental Rue, Peters and
Brown.
Electric light-Brown. Peters and Morse.
Police-Peters, La Rue and Morse.
Parks-Morse and Brown and Citizen
White.
Storm and waste water-Brown, Peters
and La Rue.
Under the old apportionment Trustee
Morse was given the craftsmanship on six
of the seven committees, and he was chair
man of five out of the six.
The board discussed the question of de-
struction and cutting of shade trees along
the sidewalks Of the city and it was shown
that the practice If not checked would soon
leave' soma Of the best streets bare of
shade and ornamentation. The matter
was disposed of by the board instructing
the city marshal to at once cause the ar
rest and prosecution of all persons found
cutting such trees who have not received
a permit to do SO from the trustees.
The matter. Of the acceptance ofI.tSe
proposition of ]. A. Sims to supply the city
with suitable apartments for the city fire
apparatus was referred to the committee

Women's Town Meeting.

The absurdity Of parliamentary pro-
ceedings was well illustrated by the women
of Protective grange last Wednesday eve
ming at their town meeting The same
ambitious desire for the best paying offices
was manifested as is shown at the annual
town meeting by the men. They voted to
sell the Auditorium and use the proceeds to
increase the salaries OF the officers, and
among other wise or unwise proceedings
they voted to sell the town farm and buy
the Brooks House for the accommodation
of those needing help. We noticed that
the objector was there and always on the
opposite side of the majority, and continu-
ally asking questions and making com
ments. The road commissioner was the
only officer balloted for. The lame, blind
and halt were brought in to vote. The re-
suit of the ballot was satisfactory. 1t is
safe to say that this was the first meeting
ever held in Grange hall when the men
were entirely sienced, not one daring to
speak. Fun is a good thing sometimes, but
good lessons might be learned from that
meeting.
