OFF FOR WASHINGTON
Congressman and hrs. 7cLschlau to Leave
This Al ernoon

Congressman and hrs. ncLschlan to Leave
This Al ernoon
Congressman and Mrs. McLachlan will
leave today for Washington. They will
stop at Atlanta and see the exposition for
a few days.
4 In conversation with Herald reporter
yesterday, Mr.. McLachlan said. MY big
Sight will be to assist in getting LARGE
appropriation for the i'm provemento OF San
Pedro harbor. OF course there is the
obstacle Of what will be strong spirit of
rigid economy in congress, but l am of
the opinion that it will not be i'm possible
to show the mem bers that liberal appro-
priaton will be the most economical
move that they could make. We ought
to have one or two hundred thousand
dollars for an addition to tie govern ment
building in this city, which is absuruly
inadequate. In aid of this move there is
the.report of the supervising architect.
recon- me ending such an increase OF room.
What can be accom- plished remains to be
seen, but my best efforts will be put
forth in these and what other lines that
my constituents may wish.
Senator Stephen NJ. White will depart
for Washington on the 9th.

WHY THERE IS GOODNESS
Meserve and Dunn Are Making
Faces
DARKNESS IS OVERLOOKED
Verdure Was Lacking at His Spanish
Dinner
The Park Superintendent Was to Have As.
sisted, but He Fell Oown-The Hachette
Hay Fetch His Official scalp

A sudden GOODNESS has just sprung up
between City Attorney William E. Dunn
and E. R. Meserve, ths supsrin tendent of
parks, anu as q result the city's legal de-
ra,tment is cut with a long machetts aft
er tho social scalp of the head of the
city's park department. The ciuss of
difference petwsen the two officials is the
big Spanisa stag dinner given by Fred
erick Hardness at his residence IN Adams
street ono evening few days ago which
is said to have been the big event OF the
present social season. The dinner was q
stag affair, and the i1enu, besides be ing a
work Of art, embraced twenty separate
courses. The mum Der of guests was linn
tied to twenty persons, and the list OF
those invited numbered as a result only
the best fellows in town. There was only
one thing lacking to MAKE of the Hark-
ness function thing of beauty ana OF
10y forever, and that was an almost en-
tire absence OF flowers, and this latter
fact is responsible for he present strained
relations between the city's park de.
partment and the municipal legal foun-
dry.
1t is customary, and the memory of the
oldest lnha bitant ruunneth not to the
contrary, for persons of influence to
sometimes request, when anything OF a
social nature is on the bills at their own
houses or the bouses of their friends, that
the park department lend proper eclat to
the occasion by permitting the use of
potted plants and flowers in quantities
to suit. When the festivities are over
the city's property is of course returned,
and no one excepting those directly inter.
ested are any the wiser. No one is
hermed through this little arrangement,
which makes every one concerned happy
ever afterwards.
City Attorney Dunn had volunteered to
place at the disposal of his host for his
dinner the sity's conservatories. He
communicated with Park Superintendent
Meserve, and had that officials promise
of aid. The evening for the big dinner
arrived, and the affair came off with the
brilliancy which has been fully chroni-
cled in the daily papers. Meserve ha
however. forgotten all about his portion
of the feast and as result there was
something lacking at the function. Dunn
was mad-very, very midland his rage
has not been cooling with time. One If
his deputies was yesterday trying to find
the law which appoints the supefintend
ent of parks, presumably with the idea
of having that officia: displaced and later
drawn ald quartered. The result of the
present scrimmage is being awaited with
considerable interest about the clubs and
the several resorts where the facts are
known and discussed.

NO COMPENSATING BENEFITS


There is no person who is able to give
a fair and unbiased opinion who will
atate that the roads of the three county
supervisorial districts have received an
improvement that will compensate the
taxpayers Tor almost $40, 900 that has been
spent upon them. The money has been
dished out on the order of the individual
supervisors for whatever work they saw
tit to order, at whatever price they saw
fit to pay for it
Take. for instance, the Central Nation
al boulevard, between here and Santa
Monica. Good money and lots of it has
been ostensIbly spent on this road. 1t
is in very beautiful condt on. 1t is in
such fine shape that rather than traverse
1t people go two miles out OF their way
to avoid 1t.
The roads in the Ballona district, where
hundreds nf dollars have been srent, ars
IN frightful condition. A sea captain is
road overseef for the district. He ows
how to sail ship, bur lie is certainly
weak on land, in the Office of road over
seer.
In the Santa Monica road district hun
dreds, yes thousands, of dollars have
been spent, ye. Mr.. Abbot Kinney is au-
thority for the statement that in eight
years there have been no material i'm
provements put on the roads in that q is
t!ict that are now visible. And So it is
Mi along the line.

of the police department. excepting the
detectives and general officers from $3.50
to $40 per month. thus effecting a saving
of over $3.50 month. The proposed re-
duction is not sprung in the interest OF
actual economy as it is intended for the
express purpose of expanding the saving
in the employ of additional patro en-.
More officers are needed tor the purpose
OF proper protection of the life and
property of the city. and when the south

is now conceded will certainly be done,
the present force will have to be in
creased. Thee is no money on hand for
more officers. unless the step now being
