 For some reason the petition has ignored The appoint ment of such commission optional to the Board of Supervso with without petition before them from the taxpayers ny the force of public sentiment compel them to take this action
 We would not presume why the Supervisors who are qualified commissioners at present. ignore the pe on and refuse to take action for public relief from present conditions They must have reason winch seems good ana sufficient to em though else is able to surme what it is.
