EAST LOS ANGELES DRAINAGE
Important Report to Be Filed Today
by the City Engineer

1t has long been known to the city
authorities that the system of drainage
in East Los Angeles is wholly made
quate to properly carry off the water
from even slight shower, to say moth
ing of a heavy rain. Complaints from
the residents of that part of the city
have been numerous, especially in the
rainy season and in some places whole
lots have been so badly washed out as to
causes serious damage.
Under the present system almost all
Of that part of the city, or TO be exact,
drains to Main street east of the river,
and the result is that at every storm por-
tions of that part of Main street are
flooded sometimes for more than day.
The same condition has prevailed in the
vicinity Of Downey avenue and Work
man street. There the sidewalks have
been inundated and the gravel in the
streets washed away.
City Engineer Dockweier will today
file report with the board of public
works, by the adoption of which the
drainage will be greatly improved in
that part of the city. Upon this report
several of his deputies have been at
work for several weeks, the investiga-
ton of the matter having covered sew
eral months. The report will recon-
mend the division of that section of the
city into four drainage districts. The

POLICE SIGNAL SERVICE
Report Nearly Completed-Wires May
Have to Go Underground

City Electrician Francis will make his
report as to the cost of the police signal
system so much desired by that depart
ment at the next regular meeting of
the fire commission. AT that time it is
expected that joint meeting of the fire
and police commissions will be held for
the purpose of discussing the matter.
AS the ordinance providing that all
wires in a certain district of the city
shall be placed under ground goes into
effect within a comparatively short
time, there may be some delay in plac-
ing this signal system in service. If
the system is adopted, and there is lit
tie doubt that it will be, it will be erect
ed in such manner as to be permanent
and it is probable that a portion of it
will have to be placed under ground.
The money to pay for the boxes is avail
able, but there Is not large enough
fund on hand at present to pay for put
ting in expensive conduits The re-
port will be voluminous and will cover
in detail all the points that can be
brought up on the subject.

extreme eastern portion is to be drained
southwark and the water is to be so
directed as to reach the river through
the Arroyo de los Posas. In order to do
this the construction of storm drain
will be necessary near where the Arroyo
enters this district.
A second section of the territory con-
sisting of 1856 acres will be drained down
Pasadena avenue and Avenue Eighteen
to the river. The construction of a small
er drain will accomplish this.
Albion street will be made the center
of a third district and along that thor
oughfare the water will be carried to
the river. The fourth district will con-
sist of the remaining portion of the en-
tire territory and it's drainage will not
be changed. AS the construction of the
proposed drains will so greatly reduce
the volume of storm water to be carried
off, the Main street route to the river
for this district will be sufficient for the
heaviest rains.
The cost of the proposed improve
ments as estimated by the engineer
will be about S530O.

rendered useless within the life of the
guarantee. An effort will be made to
secure new hose for all that has burst in
the last three years.
Additional fire protection is to be
given the new oil district as result of
the action of the board. Messrs. Nettle-
ton G. Kellerman submitted a PROPOSE
ton to furnish. free, a hose cart, provid
ed the city would supply it with between
200 and 800 feet of hose. This is to be
used in the new oil fields and will be
manned by a volunteer fire brigade cont
posed of the employees of the oil COM
panies whose pumps are located there
The offer was accepted and the city will
furnish the hose desired. This new hose
cart is to be used for the purpose of
fighting fires while the regular depart
ment is responding to any alarm which
may be sounded from that district BY
prompt service at the beginning of a
fire the volunteer company might be
able to prevent great loss by keeping a
fire under control until the regular de-
partment arrived.
No action was taken in regard to the
bid of w. H. Joyce for furnishing feed
for the horses of the department. be-
cause it was considered that his bid was
too high. 1t is not improbable that new
bids may be advertised for.
The matter of the petitions for permis-
sion to drill oil wells in the Cottage
Home tract caused much discussion
among the commissioners. 1t was final
ly decided to allow the wells to be drilled
and operated within the block bounded
by Buena Vista and Cottage Home
streets, the line of the Catholic cemetery
and the extension of Mann street.
Perry Whitaker was granted permis-
sion to operate carriage factory at TAG
South Main street. The application of
J. F. Marker for permission to operate
three horse power boiler and engine in
a bicycle repair shop at $50 West Fifth
street was referred to the chief for in

FIRE ESCAPES
Must Be Placed on All
Business Buildings
ORDINANCE TO BE ENFORCED
VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
IN OIL DISTRICT
Important Report on East Los Angeles
Drainage-Report on Police Sig
nal System Nearly Ready

That no attention is being paid to the
ordinance requiring fire escapes to be
placed on all business blocks by the
owners of a number of fine buildings
now in the course of construction in
this city, was made part of the weekly
report of Chief of Fire Department
Moore to the board of fire commissioners
at the regular meeting of that body yes
terday morning. The attention of the
chief had been called to the matter by a
number of persons and he mentioned it
to the board so that action might be
taken in time to prevent some of the
owners the additional expense of placing
fire escapes in position after their build
ings had been completed.
Chief Moore stated to the board that
he had been under the impression that
his duty in the matter was to see that
fire escapes We're placed on old build
tngs in such cases as were covered by
the ordinance. In regard to the new
buildings, he had no authority to order
fire escapes-that was the duty of the
building inspector, who should see to it

specifications for a building before the
permit for its erection was issued. The
subject was discussed at length by the
members of the board, and the chief was
instructed to confer with the building
superintendent with view to having all
the new buildings equipped with escapes
before their completion, if possible, and
also to see to it that the ordinance was
strictly enforced hereafter.
The hose question did not receive
much attention from the commission,
the city council having taken the mat
ter out of their hands. An order was
issued to the chief, however, which
promises to be productive of some val
liable information on the subject of fire
hose. Commissioner Wells mentioned
the fact that the contracts under which
all hose was purchased contained q
guarantee that If the hose was found to
be defective and burst in actual use
within three years after it was delivered,
all defects of material and workman
ship would be remedied by the replacing
of all defective sections free of cost to
the city, The commissioner wanted to
know whether any attempt had ever
been made to secure new sections fo,'
those which had burst at fires, and CHIEF
Moore was instructed to report on the

DOUBLE ASSESSMENTS
Finance Committee Busy Investigat-
ing Demands for Tax Rebates

Another demand for rebate of taxes on
account of an alleged erroneous assess
ment was filed in the city clerks office
yesterday This time H. F. Vollmer Is
the petitioner and he claims that he has
had to pay $1369 more than he should,
a portion of his property having been
twice assessed.
There have been a score or more of
these petitions filed during the past
several weeks and the consideration of
them has kept the finance committee of
the council busy. That there is Justice
in some of them is admitted, but each,
however small the amount, has to be
carefully investigated to prevent it's be-
ing used as a precedent If any slight
mistake is made.

CONVICTED A CHINAMAN
All Que Found Guilty of Conducting
an Opium Joint

A jury in Justice Owens department
of the police court yesterday found Ah
Que guilty of conducting an opium joint.
They were out only two or three minutes.
The Mongolian was arrested on Mar
chessault street by Officer Phillips. Two
visitors to the den were captured at the
came time. They each pleaded guilty
and were fined $50. All Que preferred to
take his chances with jury. The pipes.
lamps and other articles used by those
who indulge in the seductive drug were
offered in evidence. This was too cofi-
elusive for the jury, and in spite Of
Que's hard swearing they declared him
guilty.
