visors than there was last night At
tcrney II. g. Peters, who said he rep
resented Inspector Miehlstein, de-
nouneed the action Of Supervisor Pa

In a lengthy and impassioned adj
dress to the board Peters roundly scored
the fifth district supervisor and accused
him of trying his case in the news
papers before he had brought the mat

said he was ready and willing to meet
the board and answer these charges,
which he called "frivolous and with
out foundation
"It is n shame the way my client has
been vilifed and abused In the public
press through the utteranees Of Super.
visor Pacheco, said Attorney Peters.
elf this sort Of thing is to continue l
would advise all county employees to
look wen over the field Of candidates
at the next election, when certain Of
these supervisors are getting ready TO
mend their political fences"

Supervisor Pacheco smiled at this
yelled threat and said; aI have listened
with much interest TO the hot air Of
Mr.. Miehlstein's learned attorney. and

him out of the county pay roll until
