The "Assembled Wisdom OF the City,
Goes Out to the Headwaters.
The members of the city council, to-
gether with Mayor Rowan. yesterday
morning shook off the dust of the city
from their feet,and madea break for lib
erty, in obedience to the old ad ge that
"the mountains are always free."
Two large vehicles left the city hall at
S:25 a. m. and the mayor was in one of
them, the council distributing them
selves about equally into each vehicle.
Tie morning was bright and lair, and as
their teams trotted merrily out through
the suburbs, they drank in the exhilra-
ton of the balmy vernal air, for January
in Los Angeles comes very near being q
month of spring. AS their teams left
the plain and began to ascend the hills

unfold itself. The city, with its palatial

The Galatea Freak Was, However. Saved

There was small fire last evening at
430 and 432 South Spring street. The
fire originated at No. 432 by the acci-
dental upsetting of lamp. The place
had been opened few days ago as a
museum, the chief feature of which is
an optical illusion, in which statue
is made to appear as a woman,
and by lightning change again
changed into statue. The museum
fixtures were moved out, including the
changesble statue, and no damage was
sustained N7AH
The flames communicated to the ad-
joining building, occupied by G. Hunt
as clothes dyeing ablishment. The
fire department responded, and the
flames were soon extinguished. Hunts

THE JURY PROBLEM,


From October l., 1891, until October l.,
1892, trial jurors in the six departments
of the superior courts served S7S6 days
at cost of per diem and mileage OF
500 778 10. Just how this large expense
to the taxpayers can be curtailed, SAYS
the report. it is difficult to state. 1t
might be possible, in civil cases espe-
cially, for the presiding Judge to strictly
enforce the rule that no trial jury would
be called unless demanded. and when
called, if dismissed, it shall be at the
expense of the party demanding the
jury. Our judges cannot be too vigilant
in saving expense of jurors to the
county.
THE LAW LIBRARY.
The following statement is made with
reference to the law library:
The income of the library is derived
from three sources, viz: First, 81 for
each action commenced in the superior
courts; second, membership dues !;
third, from donations. By order of the
library trustees, the law library, as now
existing, purchased from the Law Ii
brary association in January, 1891, their
books, etc assuming mortgage there
on of $2500, payable in installments of
$500, with interest at 10 per cent per an
mum.
Also another indebtedness was in
Cured, to be refunded at the rate OF
1892 per annum, the amount being
$lS16
The expenses are very light, being
only $50 per month for librarian and
assistant librarian.
The present library is we'll managed,
and is meeting the wants for which it
was instituted.
THE COUNTY HOSPITAL.
As regards the county hospital, the
average daily number of patients unde,
treatment has been l5S, of whom IFS
were men and 40 women. The cost of
caring for them, and other expenses, has
been $37, GAG A, OF which $36O7 72 has
been epent ON improvements. As
s3474 65 was received from the state as
aid to indigente, the net expenee has
been 500 1854 o.. daily expense per
capita OF 5315c, almost az low a rate az
can be effected, As there are only 12S
beds for male and 40 for female patients,
it was necessary to put male patients or
cots and mattresses on the floors of the
wards.

ever, toward ameliorating the distress

In regard to this Office the grand jury
says:
Z 1t is with satisfaction that we refer
to the Office of district attorney, which
has been under the able management of
James McLachlan for the past two
years.
We find that during that time upward
Of 25i0 criminal cases have been tried,
and that the average number of convic-
tions secured has been unusually large
From our experience during this ses
sion OF the grand jury, we can heartily
commend the course pursued by Mr..
McLachlan In refusing TO put the county
to the expense OF prosecuting any al
legged criminal when, in his good judg-
ment, there was not sufficient evidence
to warrant conviction, and in never
allowing public clamor or pereonal plque
to induce him to undertake the prosecu-
ton OF any one without proper legal
proof.
We also find that during the same Pc
riod this office has done an unusually
large amount of civil business. There
has been over so suits, involving a vast
amount of county property, and which
were almost universally successfully
prosecuted or defended
We desire especially to make mention
of the fact that we have examined the
condition OF the Southern Pacific rail-
road tax cases, concerning which 30
much has recently been said, and we
hud that Mr.. McLachlan was prompt in
commencing those suits, and that thev
have been vigorously and successfully
prosecuted at every step, and that up
to this time the county, under his man.
agement, has won every point.
We believe that no department of our
county government has been more con-
scisntiously and efficiently conducted
during the past year than that of the
district attorneys office, and we find
that this was done without dollars
cost to the county for special counsel.
COUNTY ASSESSOR.
After a detailed statement of the
affairs of the office the report SAYS
that owing to the large number of dep.
uties necessarily employed. the asses
sore Office is one of the most expensive
in tlfe county government. The grand
jury BELIEVES that if the assessment was
made upon the realty direct, instead OF
being listed to persons, it would cave
many double assessments and other
errors.

The present board of supervisors have,
at cost of almost $500, provided means
Tor caring for these unfortunates, SO that
they can be made comfortable and re-
ceive medical treatment, pending their
being sent away.
In conclusion, says the report, we be.
lieve the food furnished to be- good and
suitable, and that the patients are care
fully and judiciously treated, and taking
all things into consideration, the hos
pital is we'll and iudiciously managed.
THE COUNTY FARM
The county farm accommodated an
average Of 103 patients, and there were
only nine deaths during the year. The
total expenditure of this institution for
the year was $l4,553 25, an average cost
per diem per patient OF fl cents; but as
there has been paid by the state on ac-
count of aged indigents s5637 %, and
$444 80 was received from farm produce,
the actual net cost to the county was only
$S471. 13, or % 10 cents per capita per
diem.
The management of Dr. E. L. Bur-
dick. the present superintendent is
commended.
WHITTIER SCHOOL AND ORPHAN AsYLUMs.
The Whittier reform school is reported
to be economically and iudiciously man
aged. There are 295 boys, healthy, we'll
clothed and well-feed, and SO girls.
