OFFICE OF SUPERVISOR
Overstays Sixty-Day Leave
and Mayor Must Make
Appointment

According to the terms of San Fran
ciscos charter william w. Sanderson is
no longer a member of the Board of
Supervisors. He has absented himself
from the State for a period in excess
of sixty days. It will be necessary for
the Mayor to reappoint him if he is
to resume the office. 1t is possible that
a new man will be appointed to the
vacancy.
Sanderson left the city several
months ago for the ostensible purpose
of settling UP the estate of his brother
in Los Angeles. When the Grand Jury
investigation into the graft of the
Schmitz administration was begun he
suddenly left for Arizona. Sanderson
was not a well man at the time and 1t
was given out that it was necessary
for him to leave the State in order that
his life might be saved.
The charter provision relative to
leaves of absence of city officials states
that an official may absent himself
from the State once during his term
on receiving permission from the Mayor
for period not exceeding sixty days.
If he overstays his office becomes
vacant.
Sanderson has been out of the State
for at least seventy days and va
cancy exists in the Office which must
be filled by the Mayor It is not prob
able that Acting Mayor Gallagher will
take any steps to fill the vacancy. but
will defer to Mayor Schmitz. who will
