By means of this local "machine,” it went into politics, stirring up local prejudices against the progressive city manager and encouraging the old-timers to complain against too many street Improvements. Thus, on April 42, by a majority of only thirty votes, the trustees \yho had built up system Were defeated. * One of the first acts of the new board was to file City Manager E. A. Rolinson and force the recignation of Judge W. D. Tillotson, a veteran water expert and progressive. They named as “mayor” Dr. Ernest Dozier, a former State' Assemblyman, with an anti-labor and reactionary record. And as city attorney In Tillotson’s place, they named Laurence j/ Kennedy, a Pacific Gas and Electric Company lawyer.
