!A!F ICE NOW SHUT OFF
I',udie.pa: Economy Strikes the
Water Coolers
RETRENCHMENT CAME LATE
And There Is Now BOu1d TO Be a
Deficit
Two Proposed New Ordinances Before the
Land Committee Bids TO Dispose Of
Garbage TO Be Opened


hall for several days have been without ice,
one of the results of the recent pinch in the
ci.y's finances. The supply committee
will pass upon acquisitions on Saturday.
The value of bills for the current month
which will have 10 be then allowed will be
for all purposes $11 ,90l. This must be
paid, as the goods have all been furnished
by local merchants, and that, toe, upon
requisitions previously recommended by
the supply committee and allowed by the
whole council. The city will then have for
the five months still lefl of the present fis-
cal year total of $36,54O. OF
this latter sum the engineers
pay-rolis will aggregate 10000, the pay
rolls of The street department $4,000, the
cost of the four teams in the chaingang will
be $3.50, garbage collection will cost
$5230 and street sweeping $4,000. The
total of these bills aggregate $34 $50.
When there is added to these expenditures
the sum of $4,000 or more for lighting the
city hall and police station and for feeding
city prisoners up to June LIST, the city will,
when the year has been ended. be at least
$500 in the hole.
To the compulsory expenditures above
must also be added something like $4,000
for printing and office supplies for the
various city departments which will have
20 be purchased or else a paddock will have
to be placed upon the various city offices
before the year is over. Experts have it
figured out that nothing that the council
can now do will prevent deficit of be-
tween $4,000 and 81 1000 year.
The ice tor the ely hall water coolers,
which has just been shut off, costs the city
about 81 q month.

TWO PROPOSED ORDINANCES
The land com mnittee has two ordinances
of general Importance, which were sub
mitted to Chairman Savage and his col
! leagues at the last meeting of the counoi
held on MondaJ.
The ordinance regulating the use of the
sidewalks, crosswalks and public parks oi
the city makes it unlawful to obstruct ol
to occupy the same SO as to prevent fre.
passage thereon, and makes il unlawfu
for any number OF persons to gather or as
semble together or assemble upon any
walk or roadway in the city so as to moles
or annoy persons passing along the same
A fine Of 5000 or a sentence of ninety day!
i'll the city Jail is the penalty imposed for {
/ violation of the proposed new law.
The ordinance regulating stock-yards
horse and cattle corrals and sale stable
sets apart the district for the pdrpose, be
ginning at Alameda and Also streets, run
ming east through Also along the west sid
of the Los Angeles river, thence nortl
along The river to New Main street, thenc
southwest along New Main to the corner o
Alameda street, thence southerly alonl
Alameda to the point of beginning. Ih
district thus described shall be known a
the city Hay Market and Stock Yards dis
trict for the city of Los Angeles.
1t is made unlawful for any person t
maintain any horse or cattle corral or sal
stable or stock yard outside of the limit
of the district described or With
200 feet of any church or school house
, Violations of the new ordinance can
|, punished by fine of 5000 or by imprisor
. ment for term not to exceed ninety day!
From what can be learned the propose
sidewalk ordinance will probably never b
reported. The corral and stock yards la
is TO be submitted on Saturday, when III
council holds an adjourned meeting. Th
proposed lsw will then be enacted.
