LEGISLATORS TALK
ON CUT in PRICES
District Attorney Suggests That
Referendum Be Utilized in
Matters of Heavy Outlay

OAKLAND, Dec. PA meeting of the
legislative committee of Alameda
county, at which nine legislators were
present, was held last night in the Of
fees of Senator John w. Stetson, in the
the Oakland Bank of Savings building.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of discussing ways and means
whereby the expenses of the county
government could be cut down and the
taxes lowered. No member of the
board of supervisors was present.
District Attorney Donahue suggested
that less power to make expenditures
of county funds be given to the board
of supervisors and that where sums of
more than 100000 were to be appro-
priated that the people be allowed to
vote on the matter.
The question of new superior Judge
was also brought up. There are six
superior judges at present and the in
creasing work of the juvenile court
has crowded the calendars.
The final meeting of the Legislators
before they go to Sacramento to at
tend the next session of the legislature
will be held Friday night in Senator
Stetson's Offices, when the project of
tunneling the estuary between Oak
land and Alameda viii be discussed.
