supervisor Quinn ; statement at the
meeting OF the Board of Supervisors
on Tuesday evening, that the Sheriff s
report for the month OF January should
have included a statement of fees re-
ceived by the Sheriff 5 department to
be turned over to the City Treasurer.
caused some surprise at the police sta
ton. When the Deputy Sheriff was
asked what the police department in
tended to do in regard to Mr.. Quinn :
request, that official said he was not
aware that fees had to be turned over
to the Treasurer, instead of going to
the Sheriff as a perquisite of office.
In fact, that the fees were required
by the Municipal Act to go to the
Treasurer, was something that few
people seemed to be aware of. See
ton IA of the Municipal Act reads
as follows:
The salaries provided in this char
ter shall be in full compensation for
all services rendered, and every officer
shall pay all moneys belonging to the
city and county coming into his hands
as such officer, no matter from what
source derived or received, into the
treasury Of the city and county within
thirty days after receipt of the
same.
The salary of the Sheriff and the
Deputy Sheriff, also, were raised under
the municipal charter, the former from
S175 to 5000 month, and that of
the Deputy Sheriff from 1925 to $3.50.
It was intimated when the charter was
being framed that the boost in salaries
was TO make the pay sufficient.
If the section means that all real
izations go to the Treasurer, this may
include all moneys received for re.
wards, fees for service of papers, sale
of properties under orders of the
courts, etc. Among these fees are the
rewards coming from the Navy De
partment for the capture of naval de-
serters and stragglers. Usually this
reward is $40, half of which goes to
the Sheriff and the other half to the
officer making the capture. The po-
lice do not believa that it was intend
ed that all the perquisites are intend
ed to come within the reading of Sec
ton IA. and the -Gity Attorney may
be asked TO pass upon the matter.
Who Has 313?
Three thirteen seems to be a favorite
number in auto circles, for at present
4--o I,,-1,I1o vrooro,, ,4,-ra,e o,raror+I
control that number, and one of the
autos bears "313" on the rear sec
ton. Last week Mr.. Wieda of the
Gem Theater called at the station and
made application for auto registration
for his new machine, and made an
other for chauffeur's license. He re-
ceived his card as a chauffeur and
came to INQUIRE which number he was
entitled to for his machine-the num-
Der on his chaaffeur's card, or the next
number on the auto list, which was
313.
That was on Saturday, when the pc,
lice Office was closing up. Deputy
Rose asked Mr. Wieda whether he was
running his machine. and received an
affirmative reply. Mr.. Wieda said he
wanted II get the number on as soon
as possible Mr.. Rose said that he
could get it on Monday. Mr.. Wieda
said he was having number made,
but the Sheriff reiterated his Monday
statement. and Mr.. Wieda said he
would be around bright and early on
that day. In the meantime ]. D. Dole
wanted a number and on Monday No.
3l3 was issued to him. Yesterday the
Deputy Sheriff was surprised to see
Mr.. Wieda 5 machine going up Bethel
street with No. 313 on the rear end.
He scratched his head, and then Chief
Clerk Asch remembered that Mr.
Wieda had not showed up on Monday,
and that in this way the whole matter
Slipped cog and two men got 313-
that is. Mr.. Wieda took if for granted
that he would get 313 because of his
little talk on Saturday.
