JAMES HANLEY Is
AFTER THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINATION FOR MAYOR

James Hanley, holding the position
of Inspector of public works. will
make a contest for the mayoralty
nomination on the Democratic ticket,
and he will begin his campaign tomor-
row.
Hanley was a locomotive engineer
on the Southern Pacific for twenty
years.
In 1888 he was elected as council
man of the First ward. This was his
first political office. In 1893 he was
elected supervisor, which office he held
for three terms.
In 1904 he was elected street super
intendent to succeed Ernest Werdin.
BY the terms of the charter amend
ment, creating the board of public
works, the position of street superin-
tendent was abolished March l. The
amendment, however, provided for the
continuance in office of elective off,
GERS until the end of their terms.
Hanley after March 1 was given the
title of inspector Of public works. The
amended charter provides that after
January 1, 1907, the board of public
works shall appoint one of its MEM
bers to the position held by Hanley.
Those who drafted the original amend
ment did not realize the amount of
work they were giving to the board
of public works and it is probable
that the board intends to provide some
way by which Hanley may remain in
charge, but under another title.
