Miss Pollen Retained

The new civil service commission in
ats initial session last night heard
Doctor O'Neilrs charges that Miss
Sybil Pollen a probationary nurse un-
der his charge at the isolation hos
pital had not shown executive ability
in managing the help of the institu-
tion nor attentiveness to duty and
should be dismissed.
Commissioners Macdonald, Leavy
and Bahrs sent answer to the health
board that Miss Pollen should be re-
tained in the service, but reassigned
to the city and county hospital
The young woman should be given
an opportunity to, make good. but it
would do no good to any one concerned
to send her back to the isolation hos
pital' said Judge Bahrs, and his col
leagues agreed.
The board received without winking
the report from the board of works
that some had resigned and others
been dropped by the wayside, and ap-
proved the action.
The time of meeting was changed
from Wednesday evenings to Mon
day, and the next session will be held
at 1880 p. m. next Monday.

The insurance campaign. however, did

no change in mind.
That P Fl. Shaughnessy, acting chief
engineer of the fire department. and
John McLaren, superintendent of Col
den Gate park, are to remain unmo-
Tested in their respective positions, is
apparently another settled fact. Presi-
dent William H. Metson of the park
commission positively declared that Nc
Laren was to remain, and the mayor
himself, by implication, corroborated
this statement and set the final stamp
of executive approval upon the Shaugh-
messy incumbency.
Does your attitude remain the same
as you have formerly expressed it in
regard to the election and playground
commissions? That is, that you will
make no changes for the present."
the mayor was asked.

swered, 'and you may leave out for

work these commissions have done.

McLaren to Remain

President Metson of the new park
commission was even more direct than
the mayor in regard to the McLaren
matter, declaring without any hesita-
tfon that the latter would continue as.
superintendent of the park. He said:
1T would be oolish to discharge Su-
perintendent McLaren, and | know that
all three commissioners and Mayor Me-
Carthy as we'll are in favor of keeping
him. In fact, l am willing to be quoted
to the effect that he will remain in his
position. OF all the parks I have ever
seen, l think Golden Gate park is the
prettiest, and in my Judgment Superin-
tendent McLaren is responsible for
much Of it's beauty. l think he has
made the most out of it's natural ad-
vantages."
Another factor that seems to settle
the McLaren question is that McLaren
is a member of the playground commits
sion, on which the mayor has set his
approval, and removal from either of
his two positions would be scarcely
logical without removal from both.
Shaughnessy, however. has not held
his place at the head of the fire de-
partment without a struggle. Strong
influences have been at work in an eff
fort to secure his removal. but strong
ones also have been at work in his
behalf. OF the latter. the local fire
insurance underwriters have ha dthe
leadership. The insurance forces have
watched every path and kept at the
end of every wire leading to the
mayors office since the day of his in
auguration, and through every channel
has gone the word in Shaughnessy
favor,
Shaughnessy's removal would have
been easy in view of the fact that he
has never been officially confirmed as
chief engineer. but has been in reality
