tion to Attack Executive
When Secretary Protests

Supervisor Pollok is not going to
recall the mayor. The fact came out
officially at yesterdays meeting of the
supervisors finance committee, and a
loyal secretary's fears are at rest.
Pollok had. in referring to the may
or's power of ousting his commission
ers for cause, stated DIR. Taylor had
the power of recall over them
Secretary Harry McKannay of the
mayors Office caught the words may
or" and recall on Polloks lips, that
supervisor at sundry times having
somewhat sharply criticised the con-
duct of the city's executive depart
ments.
Recall the mayor" exclaimed Nc
Kannay incredulous1y. 1T seems to
me. Mr.. Pollok. that if you think fit to
make such suggestion, you might at
least do it privately and not in public"
Recall the mayor said Pollok in
turn. Il never dreamed of such
thing. What I said was that the
mayor had the right to recall members
of the commissions appointed by him"
OH said McKannay. and he sat
down.
The committee recommended that
$4,000 be appropriated to build
sewer in Lombard and Laguna streets.
A communication was received from
the board of education asking con-
ference in regard to the proposed leas-
ing of the school lot at Tehama and
First streets to John e. Buckley for

refused to approve this action by the
commission last week, holding the
amount insufficient. The committee and

In making this food all the food e1e
