Will just dS great thibhtAolof hNbioiN
that the Supervisors can choose their .
own men and that they do not have to
ask the approval of the Mayor.
The Mayor has the power, as to APP
pointments, only to appoint his sec
rotary and this he has already done
What will happen If there is a dead
lock between the Board and the Mayor
is today the question on the lips OF
everybody and it is answered by those
in position to speak to the effect that
there will either be nothing accom-
plished by the City and County until
the matter is settled by the courts;
that the roads will be neglected; that
the garbage will accumulate in the
streets and alleys and backyards;
that the electric lights of the city will
give way to the occasional moon; and
that confusion will prevail with ven
geance.
If Ferns men go to work and wait
for salaries that the Supervisors will
not appropriate they are every likely
to quit at the end of the month and
seek jobs where they can get paid and
so raise money for their ham and
eggs and poi and fish.
On the other hand il both the
Boards and Mayors appointments en-
deavor to operate there is likely to be
a scrimmage. muscular or otherwise.
But the Boards main idea is to work
|xt.ftI 70 nd
tees to take charge of the work of the
road, garbage. fire, electric and other
departments and leave II to these COM
mittees to choose subordinates.
Now this is just what Fern is
afraid of. for the Supervisors, through
their committees, will accomplish
their wills, the majority will, just as
easily as if they made direct appoint
ments.
Fern will not say how his selections
were made. He will say however,
that he has made them to stand and he
is willing to wager that they will
stand. The Supervisors-elect say not,
= although they say much among them
: selves.
