Puppies and Flower Beds

We once watched the united efforts Of
a litter of setter puppies. the particular
object being the destruction of fine
bed of geraniums, an enterprise which
promised a maximum of result" with
a set-off of a mere trifie of an effort, II
once a protecting fence of wire netting
could be surmounted. One after an
other the puppies charged the fence,
only to fall back baf1ied, but not dis
couraged. Failure only made them
more determined. With savage barks
and growls, they returned again to the
attack, until after a desperate leap and
scramble, the biggest puppy rolled over
among the geraniums For moment
he was almost awed by his success. He
squeaked and sat down. but only for a
moment Then he hurled himself into
the thickest part of the bed and tore the
geraniums to pieces.-Animals at Work

THE TAX LEVY
The Members of the Council Doing nuch Quiet
Figuring

The members Of the city council, and
especially the members of the finance
committee. are doing a great deal of
quiet figuring on the tax levy for the
coming year The rate last year was
$l45, and it is desired to cut this down
as much as possible this year for which
reason ample time will be taken, and
every item carefully figured out. The
footings as given in The Herald Sunday
morning showed that there is an in
crease of practically three and a half
milton dollars over last year, and it
was stated that at the outside the rate
would be ten to fifteen cents lower than
last year But il is now claimed that
the rate for the coming year will not
exceed Sl25, which will be q reduction
Of twenty cents, end even this could be
further/ cut but for the fact that it is
desired to make some permanent i'm
proVements and betterments which cam
not Longer be delayed. AT least one more
steam fire engine must be provided for
the RAPIDLY growing district in the Sixth
and Seventh wards. Then, too, a new
nook and ladder truck is an absolute
necessity. The apparatus now in use
is out Of date and wholly inadequate
Los Angeles has been particularly for
tunate in the matter OF fires, but there
is no telling when one may break out
in any one OF the fifty or more fine new
buildings, in which the present truck
would be useless Besides, the necessity
for putting the fire department on a full
paid basis is conceded by all This has
been recommended by the fire COM

POLICE FITTING
After Today the Department VIII Be in New
Quarters

The police department is still in the
throes of moving, and the members OF
the force are anything but happy. Eve
ry man, besides performing his regular
routine duty, is required to give up
portion of his time off duty to moving the
fixtures and furniture from the old sta
ton to the new. Things are in cha-
otic state at both places.
Captain Roberts, who got moved on
Monday, was in charge at the new sta
tion yesterday, and superlntended the
installation of the property of the de-
partment there. Chief Glass, assisted
by the sergeants, bossed the job of evac-
uating the old quarters. Details of otii-
GERS in odd clothes We're busy loading
and unloading the drays engaged in
transporting the property, good por-
ton of which is little more than old
junk. Constable Harry Johnston and
his deputies were pressed into service,
and moved the effects of the constable's
office.
When the sun went down last evening
everything was moved except Justice
owens courtroom fixtures, the furni-
ture of the deputy district and city at
torney's offices, the bailff's and secre-
tary's office, the police clerks Office, the

After adjournment the court room Will
be dismantled and the fixtures moved
to the new station. Police court will be
held for the first time in the new build

The transfer of the prisoners from the
old to the new Jail this evening will be

more, 1t will certainly receive the most
careful consideration.
Then the expense of the police depart
ment will have to be considerably in
creased. A police alarm system has
been recommended, which will cost at
the very lowest $4,000. The number of
officers will also have to be increased
to cover the recently annexed-territory,
as the people of this section are certain
ly entitled to protection. and the force
at present Is wholly inadequate to cover
the territory in the old city limits.
steam rolleris also needed for the
street department, and crosswalks are
DefnS demanded in every section of the
city. Then the more important of the
bridges, such as the First street and
Downey avenue viaducts, will have to
be covered, and 1t is proposed to do this
with asphalt and wooden blocks, the
hrst cost of which is considerable.
But. even with all of these expenses,
the levy can be kept down to Slips. Mr..
Stockwell, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, says that last year provision had
to be made for the payment of $4,000 of
bonds, which debt had been contracted
by q former council and should have
been provided for in the levy of two
years ago. This amount of course, is in
the nature of a credit or offset, and will
take care of most of the increased ex-
penditures. Mr.. Stockwell further said
that the committee would try to have
at least preliminary report ready for
the council, If everything turns out well
and there are no complications. Should
there be any hitch, more time will be
taken. Contrary to the general belief.
the council is not compelled to fix the
tax levy on the last Monday in August.
The city clerk. however, must have the
assessment rolls before the council on
that day. o.f
The law provides that ION or before
the last Monday of August the city
clerk must deliver the assessment roll
to the council and accompany the same
with an affidavit thereto affixed
And the council shall forthwith fix
the levy or rate per cent of taxes levied
for all municipal purposes for that fiscal
year. designating the number of cents
on each 500 of property levied for each

A F0UR-RUNDRED ROW
Lively Fight After 1:dnight In rIaln Street
Saloon

A lively scrap occurred in the rear of the
''4U" saloon, corner of Fourth and Main
streets. between 12 and o'clock this morn
ing. tall man was drinking beer with
il woman, when a short man came along
and playfuliy dashed a glass of beer in the
womans face. This raised the ire of the
tall man and he proceeded to mop the oor
with the short man. The fight was furious
white it lasted and when Officer Dyke
rushed in and placed the men under arrest
both combatants were rather the worse for
the fray. The short man had one of his
eyes closed and the tail man had Il bloody
nose, ana the little finger OF mis- right hand
was nearly chewed off At the police sta
ton they gave fictitious names and begged
the officers not to lock them up, but both
were placed behind the bars after having
their wounds dressed in the receiving hos
pital. The short man. who gave the name
Of Simpson, IS said to be the manager Of
q poker joint on San Pedro street. The
other fellow gave the name of John Smith.
Each lays the responsibility for the fight
on the other.

Proper Garbage Recep,acies Needed

The garbage collectors are greatly an
noyed and retarded in their work by
the failure of householders to provide
proper receptacles for their refuse. Any
sort of an old box or can, with or with
out handles. is used, and it is seldom
that one of them is covered. The matter
Will probably be brought before the
board of health at the next meeting and
steps taken toward compelling property
holders to provide covered receptacles,
holding not over fifty pounds, and pro-
vided with handles. Contractor Frank
lin states that he can do0his work much
quicker and more satisfactorily if this
matter is attended to.
