years the city had been paying 60 cents
each for battery zines; | knew this to
be exorbitant, and SO notified the
foundryman furnishing them, and since
that time up to date / have been fur
nished with the same grade of zines by
the same party at 25 cents each. :.
Lately | have not had the necessary
cooperation on the part OF the officials
and employees of the fire department in
keeping the fire alarm system in proper
working order. On the 9th day of the
present month the Boyle Heights sys-
tenn opened at 2:10 am. The gongs at
engine houses and and at the chiefs
residence struck one tap. The bell at
my residence is on the East Side circuit,
and did not strike. was not notified,
and consequently knew nothing about
it until late in the morning. The reason
given by the chief for not notifying me
was that he did not know my telephone
number.
In reference to the remarks made at
your meeting OF the Sth inst. as to some
one tamperipg with the alarm system,
l beg leave to state that the apparatus
at engine house 2 has been tampered
with at various times during the past
two years. 1 have been called there
time after time to adjust the instru-
ments, and finally in the presence of
the entire crew, including the present
assistant chief engineer, | marked the
adjusting screws with file. so that they
could not be altered without my knowl-
edge. This occurred several months ago,
and strange to say, l have not bad to a.
just the instrument there since.
The same condition of affairs at pres
ent exists at the Park hose house and at
the chiefs Office and bell tower at the
city hall; some one has been tampering
with the instruments at these places.
During the past year the system has
worked better than ever before, but dur
ing this time it has failed us repeat
edly.
would respectfully recommend that
section 8 of city ordinance No. 256 be
amended 30 as to read about as follows ::
Section 3. Any person moving or in
tending to move any house, structure or
building, shall at once give notice to the
chief engineer or superintendent of the
fire alarm system, and shall deposit with
the chief engineer or uperinpendent of
the fire alarm system the sum of twenty
five (25) dollars from which amount the
cost of moving the wires will be de-
Quoted and the balance, if any, re-
turned.

Evening Session.

Evening Session.
An informal social time was enjoyed
in the church parlors from 7 to 8 D. M,
the regular meeting being called to or
der at the latter hour.
The exercises were opened with an
original poem by Mrs. Turner of Chi
cago, read by Rev. Florence Kalloch in
an excellent manner, followed by vocal
solo by Professor Kyle, in his usual
splendid voice.
The only paper of the evening was
read by DIR. Kate S. Black of Pasadena
on the subject, Woman as a Physician.
The paper was we'll written, in clear,
understandable manner, and dealt prin-
cipally with the difficulties which
women physicisns labor under, both in
the WY of Attaining an education and
the discouTaging prejudice against
women physicians.
The discussion of this paper was led
by DR.. Bridge, who was, as it happened,
the only man honored with place upon
the programme of the parliament. The
doctor took up the discussion in a most
happy manner, admitting many of the
difficulties which women physicians
labor under, but contending that at
present they stand on the same footing
as the men, so far as college advantages
are concerned, and that the demand that
more medical colleges be opened to
women is nonsensical. He contended
that coeducation OF the sexes was not
desirable in medical colleges, and that
better results could be obtained by sep.
arate colleges for each.
The discussion of this paper closed
yesterdays work. Today's programme
is as follows:
Woman and Business-Mrs. Harriet w. r
Strong. Whittier.
Discussion opened by Mrs. Kate T. Galpin

was brought out. the idea being that
muGh of the undesirable that heredity
beqaeathed to an offspring may be
effated by proper environment during
the lender years Of childhood.
The reading of the paper proved in
tensely interesting to the audience, and
there WAS very general participation in
the discussion that followed, led by Mrs.
H, B. Manford of Sierra Madre, who, in
the course of 10-minutes talk, brought
out world of unique ideas.
The Duty of Christian Women to
Society, was the subject OF a we'll
handled paper by Mrs. Martha s. F.
Bent of Pasadena.
The field covered by this address was
exceedingly broad, and most interesting.
The conflicting duties of home and
demands of society were touched upon,
and proper medium pointed out.
While the duties of the wife and mother
were given a prominent and important
position, the speaker holds that in the
hons is the proper, and in fact the only
place, to inaugurate permanent and far
reaching reforms. The paper closed
with q plea for cultivation of the
spirit OF charity, quotation from
PauPs beautiful reference to this virtue
being given with much effectiveness.
Mrs. Francis M. Elderkin of Los An
geles led the debate that followed the
reading OF this article.
The interest aroused by the ladies was
attested by the large number that joined
in the debate, which was continued for
over an hour.
The parliamentsadjourned after the
close of the debate, the chair announc-
ing that the train for Los Angeles would
be held until 10 O'Clock for the benefit
of delegates wishing to attend the even
ing meeting.

THE ASSISTANTS REPORT

p. M, on the Sth l1Bt., he suspended
Charles Harrison for neglect of duty in
not taking proper care of his horses after
hard run. Signed by NJ. Mcmahon, as
assistant engineer of the department.
The board then went into investiga-
tion of the case. Assistant Engineer
McMahon and two men employed in the
company were examined in behalf of the
prosecution; and the defendant Harri-
son, Callmen Hennessey and Stowell for
the prosecution. In the course of the
investigation it came out that there were
no blankets in the house of Park Hose
company, and that is why Harrison did
not blanket his horses after coming back
from the fire.
Mr.. Kuhrts moved that Harrison be
fined $40 and restored to duty.
Mr.. McLain moved to amend by max
ing the fine $5, which amendment was
accepted, and the motion WAS carried.

from the document:
The motives of my recent report on
the fire alarm system eeem to have been
misconstrued. l wish it to be distinctly
understood that l am rot the agent of
the Gamewell or any other fire alarm
company and also that if cannot op-
crate the system to my satisfaction I

the reasons why it will not 80 work. I
challenge anyone to bring before me an
unbiased man, versed in electrical mat

one.

ian have rebuilt nearly the entire sys-

I have been economical to the
extent that the best possible service
was rendered by the system at the least
possible expense.
One matter upon this subject to which
l wish to call your attention is the
saving which have made in the pur-
chase of zines, of which we use about
800 per year. When assumed charge
