The City Attorney replied that the City Clerk administers the recount but is not an ex -officio member of the Board.

He stated that he had wanted her on the Board because she was accurate and experi- 'enced-with counting, and that she was honest. It was then ascertained by Council that Mrs. Breceda was the sister of Mr. Cruz's wife. The Mayor replied that it was not a question of anyone's honesty; it was a question of whether it was good policy to appoint a relative of one of the candidates as a member of the Recount Board. After further discussion, it was the consensus of Council that Mrs. Dolores Breceda should be dropped and another person suggested in her place.
