when they want to, followed by the
envious eyes Of those who have to
stand on the burning deck. 1t is safe
to say that one or two still small
voices in the congregation are about
to raise a squeal for straight-from-the-
sense business methods in handling the
raft of business that coagulates at each
months end and means three or four
consecutive special sessions OF the
Board following the regular meeting
on the first Tuesday evening In the
month.
Boards Personnel.
The soul OF patience and endurance,
though he does not have to endure 1t
at all, is Chairman George w. Smith,
who sits at the head Of the table and
handles the helm with steady hand,
signing countless approved money de-
mands while listening to the talk Of
his associates.
On his left sits II. T. Moore, taking
everything in like the Sphinx and oc-
casionally letting out something like
an Oracle. Then comes Frank Archer,
q man of few words but timely ideas.
Supervisor Paele sits next. He has less
10 say than Archer, but thinks a heap
and asks pertinent questions. L. X.
Adams adorns the other head of the
table. to the fore on every proposition.
Andrew Cox Is on his left. Cox doesn't
talk much, but has something to say
when he does. Jack" Lucas follows,
full Of ginger and get-up, not to men,
ton an occasional kick in the cause OF
righteousness. And these men forget
sleep and rest and home and a head
ache In the morning because they waste
one hour out of three on red-tape.

Ing opened at 7:30) the minutes had

Blanket Warrant Again.
During discussion in regard to ap
; preparation for park funds Supervisor
Moore and Adams engaged in a littl
argument on the blanket-warrant con
troversy. Adams held that the warran
originally made out to Sam Johnso
for the payment Of all the men in tn
garbage department and the warran
: made out to the Park Commissioner
for the payment Of men employed b
the Commissioners for work in tn

the County Treasurer in paying tn
Park Commissioners warrant on d,
mand and refusing to pay the garbae

was inconsistent. Moore held en-
phatically to the contrary, declarin
