season character, recorder business
is light, owing partly to backwardness
of the season, and most lines of trade
and industry while showing gains
over a year ago, are not yet up to
normal. The usual measures of trade
volume point to good underlying con
ditions. May clearings are close to
the best ever recorded in that month,
while May failures and liabilities are
the lightest in twenty-one months. Col

Attorney General Sterling.
The board of supervisors up TO this
afternoon, not having heard from the
attorney general, left the issue in
allegiance.
DR.. Emmet Dill, the new appointee.
appeared before the board of SUPER
visors and presented his side of the
issue. DR.. Dill claimed that his an
pointment had been regularly made
and should be recognized as in CONTRA
vention of DR.. Donald's claim that his
appointment as chief county health
officer had been made for two Years
and that under his appointment bv the
state board of health, beginning JAN
uary, 1908, did not expire until ian.
uary, 1910.
The board after hearing the issue
and the provisions of the law under
which the appointments were made.
declined to take any further action
than the recording of the reception of
the state board of health certificate.
This non-action leaves the settle
ment of the issue with the attorney
general. 1t is not thought that it will
be taken to the courts for decision.
In the meantime, the board of su-
pervisors does not consider it incum-
