An Office for Mr. Hesbach

New York, 1895

Sebastian Hesbach of Woodhaven has been appointed by Governor Morton to the position of shell-fish inspector at $1,200 a year. The appointment is made under a law passed this year to provide places for faithful politicians. Mr. Hesbach's hardest work will be to draw his salary. The appointment was made at the suggestion of William J. Youngs and Assemblyman Vacheron. There are about 100 inspectors to be appointed and their combined salaries, which are a charge upon the state, will amount to over $100,000 a year. Two years ago Mr. Hesbach left the Democratic party and has since worked with the Republicans.
