SAN PEDRO OFFICIALS
They Ask to Be Investigated by tho Su-
pervis0ra.

They Ask to Be Investigated by the su-
pervisors.
There will be quite lively hearing to-
day before the board Of supervisors when
they will investigate the doings OF some
San Pedro officials and their relations
with the district attorneys Office. az
Those ~ho are cited to appear before
the board are Justice OF the Peace l. 8.
Moore, Constable Peter H. Winther and
City Marshal A. I. Hult Of San Pedro
and District Attorney Dillon.
The supervisors have some iniorma-
ton which leads them to ask for an ex-
planation as to the charges made for
services by the constable and tho mar
shsl. It is alleged that the constable
works up hia monthly allowance and
then leaves the field to the marshal,
who, in the absence OF the constable,
serves papers and puts in his bill for
them, which is allowed by the district
attorney; that by this means the con-
stable and city marshal got in much
more than the amount allowed by law.
The entire thing will be thoroughly in
veetiRated this morning.

The city council met yesterday 70 dis
cuss the rate of tax levy and things psr.
tanning thereto. Several long, weary
hours were consumed by the sstute zen.
tlemen In perusing figures that never
lie. They figured and figured. and heur.
ed again, and after all their 6RuYiua
could not tell exactly how the rats win
stand. But it is thought the rate will
not be lower than t1.20 on the 800. In
all probability it will be S1,20. The
rate last year WAS 81.
The finance committee will keep up
their figuring until the rate is defnitsly
known, and it will be fixed at the meet
ing of the council Monday.
Several members of the board OF edu-
cation appeared before the council and
endeavoreh to impress upon thetehrewd
body tha necessity OF $l32,0OO being a.
lOwsd the board. 1t was crushtngly
apparent that the c0uncilmen conld not
