ticulars is furnished In the following
communication, filed yesterday. which
is addressed to the council:
ct desire to inform your honorable
body that on the 18th inst. my wife had
occasion to visit my daughter, who re-
sides on Railroad street. She tied her
horse to q pepper tree, but in short
time lady informed my wife that her
horse had run away; this same lady in
formed me also that the dog catchers
appointed by your honorable body were
trying to catch a dog which was under
the wagon. and in doing so were soaring
the horse. They were warned three times
by my informant to desist or they would
make the horse break loose. but they did
not heed until the horse had broken loose
and ran away, smashing the wagon and
badly damaging the horse. Your dog
catcher followed my horse to Boyle
Heights, to bring him back. but found
the rig and horse in such condition that
he could not bring them back.
I have since presented my bill to the
aforesaid dog catcher and he has re-
fused to pay the same. l have placed
my damages at $50, and should your
honorable body refer this to committee
to investigate l can easily prove to your
entire satisfaction that this accident
was caused blythe carelessness or cursed
ness or both of your official poundmaster.
wherefore l pray your honorable
BODY to cause warrant to be drawn for
the said amount in my favor
YEARS AGO AND NOW.
The finance committee of the council
will today consider the matter of in
creasing the salary Of the city electric
ian. The pay of the place was ten years
ago, $15 month. 1t is now $S5. The
board of fire commissioners believe that
the place should pay $126. Ten years
ago the city had thirty-five fire alarm
boxes. On January l, 1895, there were
sixty-four boxes. There are now 10
boxes and all of these have to be looked
after and kept in constant repair Sal
aries in eastern cities having alarm sys-
TENS about the size of Los Angeles
range from a minimum of $125 to 5000 a
month. The salary here Is stated to be
the smallest in the United States
The relative salaries in cities on the
Pacific coast are as follows, the case at
San Jose being extra pay for extra work:
Los Angeles, 110 boxes, $S5; San Fran
cisco. 225 boxes $225; Portland, Ore, 1O4
boxes. 5000; Seattle, Wash, S5 boxes,
$3.50; Oakland. SO boxes, $50; Tacoma,
90 boxes, $125; Spokane, SO boxes, $125;
Sacramento. 40 boxes, 500: San Jose, S5
boxes, IS cents.
