ANOTHER BURGLARY.
"A CARLOAD OF SILKS BROKEN
INTO AND RIFLED.
from the Orient-A Gang Evidently
in the City.

The city seems to be infested with a
gang OF enterprising burglars and loot
pads OF late. The reason that the pub
lie hears SO little of their doings is be-
cause the facts are kept very quiet when
reported at the police station. The at
tempted burglary at DIR. Smiths office,
on Third street, Thursday night,
the attempted robbery, of Mr..
Floyd at East Los Angeles,
early in the evening, the burglarizing of
Southern Pacific car at the San Fer
nando-street depot, of wagon load of
canned goods, some few weeks ago, the
bold attempt to rob a milkman in East
Los Angeles, on yesterday morning, all
are evidence that there is considerable
work tn be done by the police.
Still another burglary was reported to
HERALD reporter yesterday as having
occurred on Friday night, though it was
not found possible last night to obtain
an official confirmation of the occur
renee. 1t is said that box car loaded
with silks, just from China, arrived
in this city recently over the Southern
Pacific and for some reason was
held over in the San Fernando-street
yard by the company. This car, the
HERALD man was told, was burglarized,
and large quantity Of the valuable con-
tents carried off. The exact value Of the
goods stolen could not be learned, but
it probably will amount to large sum.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-02-08
CITY OF PARIS, 203-205- -207-209 North Spring St.
LOS

( the street at that point -of stagnan
water. caused by unusual freshets, in
/ fact the elevation of the surface of the
street at the point contemplated will
only increase the difficulty sought to be
overcome.
In my judgment the proper thing to
do is to put in storm drain OF sufficient
capacity to carry off all the water that
accumnlates at this point. This can be
done by means OF a large brick storm
drain 400 feet long and five feet two
inches in diameter, which will cost not
to exceed $3000--less than the city will
be required to pay Mr.. French to grade
the street under the contract herewith
returned"
"After the storm drain is put in at the
expense of the city to protect the city at
that point, think it is proper that the
expenses OF raising. the grade, if it is
then necessary, should be done by the
property owners and not by the city, the
same as all other street work is DONE"

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
The Citrus Fair to Eclipse All Former
Events Of the Kind.

Space for exhibits at the pavilion dur
ing the citrus fair is being rapidly taken.
Pasadena expects to fill space equal
to 900 square feet. Quar- te's design will
occupy about the same amount of space.
Sierra Madre will hold meeting in a
day or two. and will decide upon its de-
sign. The executive committee will
meet Monday evening, and will decide
upon several mattersof Importance.
It begins to look as though in the
neighborhood of SOC, 900 oranges will be
used for decoration alone.
Superintendent Hanchette requests
that as soon as designs have been deter
mined upon the ground space and the
.eleyation of the same be filed with him,
in order that some definite idea may be
obtained as to the placing of the same.
The ladies OF the relief corps have
agreedto aid in decorating the pavilion,
and it is expected that very large force
of workers will be on hand to aid in
making this event the best in point of
beauty ever recorded here.
The bankers convention will be held
here during the fair week, and several
eastern excursions will arrive about that
time.
Hon. Elwood Cooper, Of Santa Bar
bara, writes that his county will make
an excellent display.

THE SCHOOL FUND.
A Shortage Of $4,000 Making Itself
Felt.

Said a member of the school board
yesterday 1.-The school fund is $4,000
short, and that will cripple the depart
ment this year. This shortage comes
about in this way: The old board left
us in debt $4,000 and the council has
withdrawn $4,000 of our funds and put
that sum into the bridge fund.- These
two sums make your SAC, 900 shortage.
And this will cripple US. 1t is doing so
now. Two schools, the Temple street
and the Breed street schools, should be
enlarged by four rooms each. The need
of this was felt long ago, and when the
bonds for school purposes were voted,
the people in those districts understood
that their schools would be so enlarged.
They are disappointed that this needed
relief is withheld. But that is not all.
Unless we get this money the schools
will have to be closed a full month
earlier than the full term would call for.

A Smokers Revenge.

The will of William Bachelor, wealthy
and eccentric resident of Coshocton, O.,
has been offered for probate. Nathaniel
Bradner, nephew, is disinherited, be-
cause, Mr. Bachelor wrote, "I don't like
his wife pretty WELL" The will requires
that all the heirs must file an affidavit
with the executors promising not to give
any part of their bequests to Bradner. 1t
is reported that during visit to this
nephew in New York Mr.. Bachelor could
not smoke in the parlor because Mrs.
Bradner objected. For this, it is sup
posed. Bachelor determined to "get
even."-Philadelphia Ledger.
