What Various People Have to Say on
Various Matters.
E. M. Wallenberg-No city that l
have visited, with the exception, per-
haps, OF New York, has the variety of
resorts within easy reach that Los
Angeles has. There is Santa Monica
with its bathing beach and plunge,
Redondo for the swimmers and fisher
men, Long Beach for the family camp
and Chautauquans, beautiful Avalon for
the lovers of boating, hill climbing and
fishing, Mount Wilson for the mountain
lovers, San Gabriel cafion for the trout,
fishers and innumerable places for the
hunter, the artist and the pedestrian to
visit. have enjoyed my short stay
here immensely, and shall be delighted
to visit your lovely valley CITY again.
A. E. Baker assistant school superin-
tendent)-It is customary every year for
the school board to elect number of
extra teachers. During the vacation
some of the teachers elected are taken
sick, resign on account of dissatisfaction
with salaries, or for other reasons, or
leave the city. Then the extra teach
ers come in. Unless there is a place for
them, however, they are not paid. and
are only paid during actual service.
Last year seven extra teachers were
elected and ten teachers failed to appear
at the opening of the term, so that three
more had to be elected. This wear. ten
extra ones were elected and five resigna-

action is not so Objectionable as some
stances are taken into consideration.
III. B. Patterson-It seems that it is
necessary for the board of education to-
have all actions cut and dried before
hand, and run according to programme
at their regular meetings. There was
some disagreement relative tosthe pro-
gramme Monday evening, and. in the
lace OF the audience present the board
was afraid it might not 60 through
without hitch, 80 they adjourned in
the hope that the crowd would not get
together again on Friday, or that they
would have a better arranged pro-
gramme. 81 ~ <s &
Kouncilman Nickel have never
seen so many dogs in the city as zee
this year. There seems to be no end to
the number of little tikes, bench-legged
pups and worthless yellow ours, in ad-
dition to an unusual number of really
well bred dogs. What people can want,
with them all is a mystery to me. They
run all over everything, are constant
source of annoyance to the neighbors of
the owners, and are altogether well
nigh intolerable nuisance. In some To-
calities the dog catcher ought to be able
to make good wages picking up owner
less dogs. =
Officer Horne-If test of an officers
efficiency was the number of arrests he
made, then should be considered the
most efficient officer on the force, for
my arrests last month numbered twen-
ty-six. My beat is a comparatively
small section of Alameda street, and
there were many other cases that really
ought to have been brought into the
city prison, but were engineered home
by their friends in carriages and other
ways and kept out of the reach of the
police force. People who do not know
would be astonished at the number of
mild drunks that are to be found in that
section every night.
Mrs. E. j. Harkeness-I am only a
tourist, and have no right to object to
anything, but there are two things, both
in the same line, which would like to
speak about. Your cable cars are the
best have yet seen, and are very nice
to take trip about town in. but no lady
can ride upon the front seats OF the cars
or upon the dummies without being
nearly suffocated with tobacco smoke.
Why don't they confne the smoking to
the rear seat and platform, as in eastern
cities? The other thing is the smoking
in Sixth-street park. 1t is beautiful
place, but lady can't properly enjoy it,
on account of the smoking of the men
who monopolize the seats.
Siegel, the hatter-Dust? Why, i'll
were to talk to you about dust the way |
feel, you would have to print the,HERALD
in blue ink. The city authorities don't
seem to care rap for the business men.
am safe in saying that the dust DESTROYS
hundred dollars worth Of goods in the
business part of town every day, and it
keeps the shoppers off the street. We
all pay taxes enough to have the whole
city watered, but sprinkling carts are
scarcer than twenty-dollar pieces.
Supervisor Perry-People who are
anxious to visit the new county court
house should restrain themselves for a
while. The county officers are moving
in to save the rent Of the old building
and the new court house really not fin
ished up for use as it should be. As
soon as the interior is sufficiently COM
pleted it is proposed to hold a reception
to which the general public will be in
vited, and the full beauties of the build
ing will be duly exhibited. In the mean
time people should be patient.
