FARBER RESIGNS
County Attorney Files Resignation
With Board of Supervisors, to Take
Effect at once-Board Must Appoint

Another.
The resignation of County Attorney
E. \. Farber was filed with the board
of supervisors this forenoon. 1t be-
comes effective at once. out Farber said
those forenoon that he would not. of
course, turn over the affairs of the Of
flee until his successor had been ap-
pointed. In the meantime the super
visors are considering the question Of
making an appointment, which they
may do within a short time.
Efforts made BY the supervisors to
induce Farber to reconsider his de-
termination TO resign Were rot success
full. Also unsuccessful was the SUI
perViSors' offer to give him an assist
ant to take off his hands the minor de-
tails of the office. He would not re-
consider, but wants to be relieved of
the office just as soon as possible.
The supervisors regret exceedingly
that Farber has resigned for they rec
ognize that there has been more law
enforcement and prosecutions of open
and fragrant violators of the law dur
ing F'arber's short administration than
for several years Farber is preparing
to turn over to his successor all the
data he has of criminal cases. and is
willing to give the new county attor-
ney all the assistance he can.
