church. and his family. 1t was the
upper fiat in a, large frame structure
a Sunday school hall being beneath
the dwelling. Mrs. Christensen and
her two children were in the front OF
the fiat and knew nothing Of the sud
den fire until the blaze had erept
through the back rooms and cut on
escape in the rear. BY the time they
reached the street a cottage IN the
rear, occupied by Mrs. c. K. Lark, had
caught fire, and both churches, which
stand on either side of the Norwegian
pastors house, had been set ablaZe on
the outer walls and roof. All the build

BOARD AGAIN TOLD
OF PRINTING STEAL
Attorney Hartford Explains to
Supervisors Extent of
Dargie Grab

OAKLAND, May 10.-C. Leidecker,
owner of a printing shop at Fruitvale.
who for two years has insisted ON rec
ognition of his offers to do county
printing at rates far below the exist
ing schedules, appeared before the
ney L. Hartford as his spokesman.
Hartford went over the ground of
fixing schedules and letting contracts
for the printing of delinquent tax lists
the rate for printing the list must be
fixed at an open meeting of the board
and that the county tax collector, un-
der the law, had the privilege of as
signing the contract.
Leidecker furnished statistics to
show that the rates for printing the
and claimed that the needless drain
on the county treasury in the past
arose from the preferences shown by
the old board for w. E. Dargie and his
Oakland Tribune job printing plant.
Dargie had secured the contract, Lei
decker claimed, by an award of the
board the tax collector not having
been consulted.
Another point TO which Hartford
drew attention was the adoption OF
schedules behind closed doors This
practice, he maintained, made the 1ndI-
vidual supervisors responsible, instead
of the board as a county body. AS such
individuals, supervisors may be sued,
said the attorney, though he admitted
that no suits were in contemplation.
The board took no action.
