ASSESSOR DODGE
HAS TROUBLE FOR

MANY DISCHARGES AT HAND
NEW MEN FOR OLD JOBS IN A
POLITICAL TIME.

An impending shake-up in the Assess
or's office is keeping many of the en-
ployes on the verge OF nervous prostra-
tion and creating good deal of quiet gos-
sip among the City Hall employees and
other "pollies."
1t is an open secret that on Friday next
a small cyclone will strike the office. On
known as Outside deputies will be let
out. These are the field men. who have
been employed, as usual, in canvassing
the property owners of the city and re-
porting on their worldly possessions for
the purposes of the Assessors roll, and
their work will be done and their stat
utory time of employment is up, as the
Assessors roll must be completed and
turned over to the Supervisors by the first
Monday in July.
The relief Of these fifty Job holders will
be regular and natural and the cause Of
no especial comment, but the trouble will
be that a lot Of the regular Office force
will be fired" along with them, and ap-
parently for political reasons. A number
Of those who were Of the lucky small
minority of place hunters who really got
on the Assessors regular payroll through
the political pulls that counted after Or.
Dodge's election will be set adrift, like
chips, in this outgoing tide of extras,
and the number Is reported to be any
where from eight to a dozen. 1t will be
alleged, 1t is said that these are incom-
petent, and that their discharge and the
appointment of several new men in their
places is simply in the interest of the
highest efficiency of the office.
More interest is displayed in the ques
ton of who will so in than in the one of
who will go out The vacancies will af-
ford a chance to do politics in a critical
how and through what influences the pol
itics will be done
