EMBLAZON THEIR NAMES
ON COURTHOUSE TABLET
San Mateo Supervisors Cause
Mirthful Indignation Among
the Tax PAYERS

REDWOOD CITY. Dec. 1.-The great
est rapidity ever seen in this county
in the construction of public buildings
has been in that section of the court
house that is destined to carry the
names of the present board of super
visors down to posterity. The recon
struction of the courthouse itself has
been one of the jokes of the whole
peninsula on account of the time that
has been used. and when the super
visors recently decided that their
names should be emblazoned onimarble
2t an exorbitant rate, the whole coun-
try arose in mirthful indignation.
The board was not to be deferred
from the course that it had adopted,
however. and the. contract for two i'm
ported verde antique marble tablets
with carving of the names of the su-
pervisors. contractors and architect for
the courthouse was authorized at
rate for the carving of each letter that
will cost the tax payers about $1,000.
Never has work been carried for
ward with such dexterity as this. for
the tablets were placed in position to-
day, although the board did not have.
the heart to install them with elabo-
rate ceremonies, none of the members

$4,000 SPENT FOR
COUNTYSTATlSTICS
Useless Report Covering Four
Sheets of Paper Needless
Drain on Treasury
'Legalized Graft" Furnishes Po-
litical Hacks and Hangers
On With Livings

:. OAKLAND Dec. HARRY f. Magill.
county statistician. whose expenditures
In that capacity had been limited TO
$4,000, reported 10 the grand jury today
that he had spent all but 81 cents.
Magill got his appointment late in
August, though the supervisors allowed
his salary. $500 month. to date from
July i.
The delay resulted from quiet
grand jury investigation OF the gather
ing OF statistics on previous years. 1t
was found that in 1907 MagiII had re-
quired $500 for his report After
scanning the report, which consisted OF
single sheet, the grand jury arrived
at the conclusion that $1,000 would
cover all expenses. Accordingly the
resolution empowering Magill TO go
ahead contained that limit.
To assist in the economizing the SUI
pervisors took from Magill the power
to appoint his own assistants and
selected 25 workers to go into the fields
of industry and agriculture and gather
facts. BY a singular coincidence the
appointment of the 20 took place three
days in advance OF the August pri-
maries.
Magill points with pride this year
to the fact that the report required
four sheets of paper and that he re-
turned with 81 cents in his hand
The position held by Magiu was
created by the state legislature as a
means OF supplying political hacks and
hangers-on with jobs. which come un-
der the designation of legalized graft.
The expenditure is absolutely worth
less to the tax payers. and is so recog-
nized by the grand jury. Because the
law is on the statute books the present
grand Jury was helpless in the matter
Of preventing Magilrs appointment by
the board OF supervisors. who have
shown themselves totally conscience
less in the matter of expenditure OF
public funds. The statistician graft is
one OF the most notorious OF the ex-
travagances which the grand jury has
tried to check.
