Fern Limited
To Just Eight
Appointments il

Because Mayor Fern, without con-
sulting the majority Of the board OF
supervisors, nominated men Tor the
positions Of food, fish, fruit, Vege-
table, poi and milk inspectors, gar
bage inspector, sanitary inspectors
and city and county physician, the
power of whose appointment is invest
ed in the board, the majority members
feel that they have been slighted and
this action by Fern, it is said, is res
ponsible for the tabling Of his list OF
nominations.
AS q result they now intend to re-
strict Mayor Fern to those appoint
ments which are granted him by law.
These number only and the two CON-
missions Of civil service and city
planning. The eight positions are
city. and county engineer, superinten-
dent of the water and sewer depart
ment, superintendent Of the electric
light department, building inspector,
superintendent Of public grounds and
public buildings, fire chief, emergency
hospital physician and band master.
The list of nominations presented
at the first meeting by Mayor Fern
numbered close to 70. Approximate
" so per cent Of these were janitors
and park keepers whose appointment
by an ordinance passed by the. last
board Of supervisors has been taken
away from the mayor and placed in
the hands of the superintendent OF
public grounds and public buildings.
The city planning commission is
composed Of six members, including
the mayor and city and county engi-
neer, and as yet the mayor has not
named the other four members. The
civil service, commission is composed
of three members and as it Is sup
posed to be 4 non-partisan organiza.
ton both political parties must be rep:
resented on It. The present commits
sion was appointed for one year and
its term is not up until the end OF
this year.
