STILL EVADES
CIVIL SERVICE
Election Board Employs
Men That Do Not Appear
on the List of Eligibles
DEPARTS FROM CUSTOM
Makes Requisition for Three
Deputy Registrars Instead
of Clerks as Formerly

The Board of Election Commission
ers continued it's policy of evading the
civil service provisions of the charter
by putting ten clerks to work yester-
day, seven of whom are not on the
civil service eligible list The other
three are on the list and were appoint
ed after due certffication was made by
the Civil Service Commission to the
Election Commission. A similar eva
sion was recently carried out when
twenty warehouse men were en-
ployed to the exclusion of the register
ed laborers on the list of the Civil Ser
vice Commission.
The three civil service men appoint
ed yesterday are e. r. Faucompre, F.
E. PrebIe and W. w. Bausmann. The
seven that were not certified by the
Civil Service Commission, but were ap-
pointed merely for political reasons,
are w. w. Jackson, d. C. r. Mccarthy
B. E. Ullner w. G. Bright, L. F. Gull,
c. w Merritt and J. l.. Hart. They
are all employed in registering voters
for the next election.
1t has always been the custom of the
former Election Commission to appoint
the men from the list OF civil service
ordinary clerks after requisition had
been made on the Civil Service Com
mission. The present Election Com
mission saw an opportunity to 'evade
the civil service law and instead of
making requisition for ordinary clerks
sent a communication to the Civil Ser
vice Commission asking that three dep
uty registrars be certified for appoint
ment.
There are FIVE such eligibles on the
list and three of them-Faucompre
Preble and Bausmann-were appointed.
Another eligible waived certification
and the fifth one for some reason was
not selected. Then to fill UP the list
of the ten men to be appointed, seven
that had passed no civil service exam
ination were pressed into service to
the exclusion of the eligibles that have
hitherto performed the work.

MAY BEAUTIFY
THOROUCHFARE
Works Board FavOrS Plan
of Outdoor League for a
Park on Dolores Street
TAXPAYERS ARE HEARD
Request the Bituminizing
of Road Leading to Ocean
and Other Improvements
TAXPAYERS ARE HEARI

The Board of Public Works held a
special meeting yesterday for the pur-
pose of hearing petitions from taxpay-
ers for various improvements, provision
for which may be made in the next mu-
nicipal budget. The board desired to
ascertain the preferences of property
owners in that regard in order that the
necessary recommendations can be
made to the Board of Supervisors in
fixing the appropriations.
The California Outdoor Art League,
through Mrs. Glaser and Mrs. Wagner,
addressed the board in behalf of its pc
tition to park Dolores street from Fiji
teenth to Seventeenth. The ladies
named argued in favor of beautifying
some of the boulevards of this city, and
thought beginning should be made on
Dolores street on account of it's histori-
cal connection with the old missions.
The proposed project found stanch
champion in Park Commissioner Frank
]. Sullivan, who said that the plan
should be extended so as to take in
Dolores street from Market to Eight
eenth, distance of four blocks. instead
of only two blocks as originally con-
templated This would connect the
parked street with the new public
square designed to be constructed
under the bond issue.
The Board of Public Works expressed
itself in favor of the project, which 1t
thought would cost about $4,000. Be
fore recommending 1t to the Board of
Supervisors, however, a condition was
imposed that the signatures of the
property owners along the four blocks
described be secured in order to avoid
the possibility of a subsequent protest
against the improvement. 1t was stat
ed that all the property owners favored
the plan and it will Low be matter
only of procuring their formal written
agreement to that effect.
J. Rosenberg and w. ". Allen, rep
resenting the Point Lobos, Richmond
and Oceanside Il 1rovement clubs,
urged the board to recommend the re-
paving with bituminous rock of III
street from First TO Twenty-second
avenues. 1t was represented that there
was no paved thoroughfare leading to
the ocean, and that H street should be
improved to afford necessary relief.
The city will have to bear one-half of
the expense. as Golden Gate Park runs
along the thoroughfare named.
The board. promised. to cooperate
with the Improvement clubs. 1t being
stated that the Cit5 Engineer had in
cluded in his recommendations for
street work that H street be improved
from Stanyan to the ocean at a total
cost of approximately 100000.
d. Dederky called attention 10 the
bad condition of Fell street from
Franklin to Van Ness avenue, due to
the street car rails having been taken
up. o. C. Pratt told of a choked-up
sewer at Walnut and Franklin streets,
and that the electric light at that cor
ner was never lighted The board di-
rected it's inspectors to investigate the
complaints.
Tomorrow morning the board will
hear the various improvement clubs re-
pa rdirg their desires for improvements.
