HOW TO SAVE SOME MONEY,
A Chance to Employ 500, 900
for Needy Men.
Where the Council Can Find the
Funds.
How the Electric Light and Street
sprinkling Contracts Have Been
Gradually swelIed-Deputies
Who WonId Not BE Missed.

Immersed in the manifold abstruse
questions of municipal government, the
members of the city council are unable
to find any available funds to pro vide
work for the scores of worthy citizens
of Los Angeles who are today without
the means of earning their daily bread.
In order to assist these astute gentle
men the HERALD volunteers some infor-
nation which, if acted on at the special
meeting of the council today will give
the city fathers about $4,000 which can
be applied to public improvements. In
the first place the city is paying an in
spector OF street sprinkling 500 per
month. This work is very ligh hit and it
could readily be done by the sergeant 8
OF the police force without turning a
hair. This would save $3.50 between
tract OF the city for street sprinkling,
exclusive OF the above unnecessary
salary, was for 1920 per month. This
has been added to until it now amounts
to SO, ,925 % per month. The council can
lop off $655 % per month here, or better
still as the contractor is willing, stop all
make saving of 81, 925. % per month.
The contract for electric lighting of
the city originally provided for month
ly expenditure of $379S per month.
This has crawled up to $4266.92 per
month, of which $458 90 por month can
be readily revoked by the council today,
and result in handsome saving.
The contract for sweeping the city
streets specifies that only such streets as
the council directs shall be swept, at a
cost OF $40 per mile. The city street
sweeping bill now amounts to $3.50 per
month. This could be cut in half or
abandoned altogether for the present.
An examination OF the balance in the
tax fund of 1SS9-'90 shows that there is
$l602 II on hand. Against this there Ia
still about $400 that will have to be re-
turned to the taxpayers on return of
horizontal raiee, leaving about $1,000
available.
Another saving that can be readily
made is to abolish the Office Of plumbing
inspector, thus saving 500 per month,
and the assistant zanjero, who draws
$75 per month. These savings, combined
with the stopping of many minor leaks,
would give the council in the neigh bor-
hood OF 500 900 without the need OF call
ing for an election to issue bonds. II
would also be good idea, if these sug-
gestions were adopted, to employ only
citizens of Los Angeles, who are in
actual need, and not hobos. For this
purpose, and to prevent any suspicion of
"a political pull" let a committee of
disinterested citizsns be selected to act
in coDjuction with the council in select
ing the men for the public work.
In abolishing the Office of the plumb
ing inspector his duties could be readily
combined with those of the building in
epector.
There are plenty of minor leskages of
money in the big municipal building,
but the above are some that coald be
Immediately adjusted.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

Lots In tho Beautiful Workman Trsot
to Be Sold at Auction.
year ago ex Mayor W. H. Workman
and Mrs. Hollenbeck presented to the
city very attractive tract of 30 acres of
land situated in the center OF their large
holdings. The gift was accepted By the
city for park purposes. The municipal
ity has already spent $4,000 on the
grounds in improving them. 1t is
agreed by the city to spend $4,000 durin z
the coming year, which will make the
place a model OF beauty and attractive O.
ness.
Mayor Workman has decided to put
on the market portion OF his property
bordering on the park, and Easton.
T. bridge & Co. will on Saturday, April
7th, sell 100 of the best lots for building
sitep, at public auction, without reserve
or limit and on long time.
These lots present all the qualities
looked for by home-seekers. They are
elevated, furnish superb view, and
| have an excellent water supply. The
neighborhood is all that could be de-
sired, the streets and avenues are invit-
| ing, and its accesai biiIty makes this one
| OF the most favored regions in the city.
The property is located on the First
street cable railway and the resident
there can in ten minutes be in the
center of the city. A number of at
tempts have been made for several
years to induce Mr.. Workman to offer
some of this land for sale, for people
generally have recognized it's great
value, value that has immensely in
creased since the city decided to create
there a beautiful park. No better op-
portunity will ever occur to the home
seeker or speculator than that offered
by this sale.

REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE.

The Firat Club OF the Campaign Selects
Its Ohloers.
The fret Republican club Of the cam
paign was temporarily organized last
night. A number of prominent Repub-
licans were present and much enthusi-
asm wss manifested.
After several stirring speeches tempo
rary organization was effected by the
election OF Henry E. Carter as president
and Clayton B. Wilson secretary, and
the appointment of the necessary COM
mittees.
From the spirit displayed last even
ing this club, which has adopted the
name OF the Mckinley Republican club
OF Los Angeles, bids fair to become the
banner Republican club of the city.
Tne next meeting will be held at the
offices OF Carter & Pierce, Bryson block,
Thursday evening next, for the purpose
OF eitecting permanent organization.

CITIZENS LEAGUE.

An Important Meeting to Be Held Next
Saturday. q
In accordance with notices sent out
to all members of the Citizens league
many members met in the chamber Of
commerce yesterday afternoon, and
after electing the same members OF the
executive committee who served the
league so faithfully in the past. adopted
a resolution in favor OF holding a mass
meeting to be held next Saturday night
in the Grand opera house. The lead
ing subject to be discussed is chow our
city charter may best be revised
The fact that such men as the Hon.
Joseph Medill of Chicago and John W.
Harmon OF Brooklyn, N. Y, will ed-
dress the meeting adds much to the
attraction, for although many of our
local statesmen hold excellent views on
the above subject, yet none here have
given municipal government such pro-
found thought as these two gentlemen.
