THE SUPPLY COMMITTEE
Kick on Charges for Lighting the Central Po-

Kick on Charges for Lighting the Central Po-
lice on-Recommendations
The supply committee of the city
council met yesterday and went through
the usual acquisitions for supplies, etc.
The heavy bills for lighting the new city
prison came in for some criticism, and it
was stated that one reason for this was
the fact that the court rooms of the
police judges were frequently used for
evening meetings. The committee
could see no reason why the city should
pay for lights for private organizations,
and went on record against it. The
committee declined to recede from it's
position on the garbage ordinance.
The following recommendations were
adopted for submission to the council on
Monday.
Your supply committee beg to report
in the matter of petition No. SO, from T.
H. Martin ct al. asking an investigation
as to the qualifications of the present
poundkeeper, that we invited the person
signing the petition to appear before US
a our meeting of February 5th, 1897, to
show cause why the present poundkeep-
er should be removed; no one appearing
to furnish evidence to the committee,
we deem it advisable to recommend that
the petition be filed.
ing to garbage cans, which was present.
ed by this committee last week and re-
referred to us for further consideration,
we beg to report that we again return
the ordinance with the statement that
it differs from the ordinance now in eff
feet simply in the matter of the width
of the band around the top, middle and
bottom of the can. The change is
deemed advisable by the health officer
in order to strengthen the cans so there
may be no excuse for not keeping the
same in proper form and properly COW
cred.
The attention of your committee has
been called to the rather excessive
charges made for lighting the centra,
police station One of the reasons as
signed for the large amount charged is
that the rooms of the police judges are
used frequently by associations for
evening meetings. If this is so, your
committee would suggest that some
charge be made to these individuals or
associations for the light furnished at
these meetings, and we suggest that the
attention. of the proper authorities be
called to the matter at once.

GOOD SAMARITAN INN
II Is a Popular Rendezvous on q Rainy
Day
Its Manager Taking Only q Living for His
Family Of Ten-Contri.
buttons Growing

Opinion may be divided on the ques-
tion of the public utility of the Good
Samaritan inn, but it's patrons thorough
ly appreciated it's shelter yesterday
while the elements made outdoors so
disagreeable to the just and unjust alike.
A Herald reporter, who visited the inn
yesterday afternoon, founc it as teeming
with inmates as beehive with bees, but
with noticeable dissimilarity. The
hundreds of men who were sitting and
lounging about in the big down stairs
room were doing nothing. OF the total
number a dozen or so We're grouped in
one corner Of the big hall participating in
gospel meeting.
Capt. Frazier, manager of the mission,
was absent at the time, but Mrs. Frazier
was there and she answered the ques-
tions asked
Il understand that the public contri-
buttons to this mission now amount to
something over $780," said Mrs. Frazier.
I'VE need the money to keep this going
and we are grateful for the help"
How much of a family have you, Mrs
F'razier?" the reporter asked.
1--WE have eight children, all living at
nome. only one of them, a boy, earns
anything. He is an errand boy. No, in
deed, we don't live in this place. We rent
a house in another part Of the city. All
We get out of this mission Is our bare liv-
ing and house rent. The clothes have
worn this winter 1 have made over from
things sent in here by charitable people
We get boxes of things from the city
and some from other places. All the
clothing except what is suitable for the
men we give away to the poor. We need
some mems underclothing very badly"
rs 1t true. Mrs. Frazier, that the cap
tain intends using the money con-
tributed to the mission to pay off the
mortgage on his ranch?'
mo, 1t Is not" said Mrs Frazier 1--WE
have ranch at Escondido which we are
trying to get rid Of. We are trying to
trade it for a place in this city, so we
won't have to pay house rent. But the
place we would trade for has a mort
gage on 1t as big as the one on the farm"
THE original arrangement between
the owner of the building and the cap
tain still exists, does it?''
Yes; the owner of the building gets
three cents out of every five we take in.
We are not making any money at all and
are just making living for our family" Z"

A couple of bad boys, one colore6 and
the other white, narrowly escaped cap
ture last night, but as they are known to
the police they will in due season no
doubt reap their reward. At 1880 last

methods of burglary are as yet crude
They commenced by throwing stones
