JARRETT Will
BE INSTRUCTED
in HIS DUTY

Bringing the conclusion that the
present ordinances are sufficient to
oblige the fish market merchants TO
keep their stalls in sanitary condition
and that 1t is the duty Of Sheriff Jar
rett and the inspectors at the markets
to see that the ordinances are en-
forced, the inspection yesterday after
noon of the fish markets by members
of the sanitation committee of the
supervisors, and p. L Weaver, first
deputy city and county attorney, was
productivei of results which will no
doubt speedily end the license dis
pute, in which the board Of health, su-
pervisors, city and county treasurer
and the fish merchants are parties.
Late. this afternoon a conference
viii be held by the members of the
sanitation committee and Weaver
with Sheriff Jarrett. when it is plan
ned to tell the later few things re-
garding his duty in seeing that the
vendors at the markets obey the san
itation laws or go to JAIL And after
this conference, IL Is expected that
the COMMITTEES will give its consent
that the licenses be issued to the
merchants. - -. ~. ~
Supervisor McC lellan, member of
the committee, stated this morning
that he Is in favor Of giving the mar
ketmen their license without further
ado on the part Of the supervisors,
and shifting the burden of seeing that
the markets are kept in good condi-
tion on. the shoulders OF the sheriff.
He said that the members Of the COM
mittee were of the same mind.
Weaver is in favor of the plan.
I'VE have plenty Of law on the sub
ject, he said. 1T is only a question
of enforcing It. It is the duty OF the
sheriff to- enforce it. We will have
a conference with the sheriff and
make plain to him what the law re-
quires and ask that he sees it is car
ried out.
IF he arrests a few Of them, they
will see that we mean business, and
that viii be the end of the trouble. It
Is to ND purpose to hold up the IL
cense. Let them get their license and
see that they obey the law" :
This Is IA line with Col McCarthy's
idea as he presented it to the super
yisors at their last meeting. Col Nc:
Carthy, as treasurer of the city an0
county, is anxious that the $500 due
from the merchants for licenses be
paid IN. to his Office, and in his speech
before the board he threatened to ar
rest the merchants for doing bust
ness without .lfcense IL the trouble
were not settled soon.
The Joint committee from the board
OF health and the supervisors had
made a report recommending that Ger.
tain improvements be made In the
market The issues over this report,
raised by all parties concerned, ere.
mainly responsible for the long delay
of the sanitation committee in giving
fits permission fBrxa license to be is
sued to the mhrcl ants
Nov. h6Weyer. II appears that peace
has been restored, and all the parties
are satisfied with the plan Of the COM
inittee. DR.. James T Wayson, city
ard county physician, has reported
that he finds the market In better
condition than 1t has ever been, and
members OF the sanitation committee
freely admit that great improvements
haze been made by the merchants. It
wilt be from now on merely a ques-
ton of seeing that the vendors keep
their stalls clean says Supervisor Nc
Clellan. and that dHtys will be express
" given to Jarrett. ss
