When DR.. Mackall, city and county
physician, asked for a bill of 500
worth of supplies for the morgue, OBJ
lection was made by Mr.. Quinn on the
ground that it was understood when
the county took over the morgue that
the Territorial dispensary was to sup
ply the medical necessities. Mcclellan
thought the matter might be looked
into by committee with power to
act. Quinn objected to this method.
Anyhow, the doctor was making too
many requests for increases, ct cetera.
He referred to the Doctors request for
an increase from $50 to $50 per month
for Office incidental expenses. He said
he would vote against the increase.
The request for morgue supplies, how
ever, passed.
Sheriff Jarrett reported that 463 ar
rests and 355 convictions had been
made in the county during August, and
the fines, forfeitures, ct eetera, amount
ed to $3885.45. One thousand of the
latter item came from fines imposed
on four gamblers convicted on evidence
adduced by an Advertiser reporter.
Horse on Somebody.
Plumbing Inspector Miehlstein re-
ported that after he was given author
ity to get a horse for official use, he
took one on trial, furnished by Ben
Gallagher. The horse did not prove
satisfactory, and the inspector had a
hard time turning the animal back.
The owner, E. j. Gay, was away, and
when he returned to town, although no
tilted to take the animal back, he paid
no attention to the requests. Now the
owner wants $24 for rental of horse.
The matter has been referred to
committee. The county attorney says
the county is not liable in the matter.
Mrs. Mary E. Clark has withdrawn
her offer of land on upper Manoa road
for widening the thoroughfare, on the
ground that the object can not now be
obtained. 4

# the Board of Supervisors were not
grave, dignifed body of lawmakers.
the motion presented by Supervisor
Logan might suggest that spirits oc-
casionally make themselves felt in the
assembly room, because the desks have

expenditures be directed to have the
desks of supervisors arranged in a
proper way, so that they will not
easily slip out of place, either by re-
moving the castors or hooking the
desks to the floor on the lines laid
down. The county engineer. will draw
up plan for the proper arrangements
