ADIOS ITALIANOS!

Del Conte's Italian Opera company
last night concluded most enjoyable
season at the Los Angeles theater with
fine performance of I'll Trovatore," in
which Collenz, Mazzi, Francesconi and
Fanton added more laurels to their
wreaths of fame. The great tenor was
in splendid voice and achieved ver-
liable triumph, he and Mazzi being
treated to tremendous ovation after
the Miserere, which was repeated and
was again grandly rendered; Collenz,
whose benefit it was, introduced after
the second act the fine romanza from
"Forze del Destino," which displayed
the resources of his noble voice to great
advantage.
At the matinee LA Traviata" was
produced. While the company was evil
IDENTIFY unfamiliar with the work and
there was much to find fault with,
many of the enchanting numbers We're
finely rendered. Vicini once more COM
pletely captured the audience by her
naivete and grace and sang the difficult
music with excellent skill. Agostni
was evidently tired out, and little Won
der after his splendid effort of the prev
ious night in La Favorita." Cioni was
as good as ever.
Adios Italianos! The memory of your
sweet singing will long linger with us.

BIDS FOR FIRE HOSE
Another Batch to Be Opened Up on
Monday

The first of the bids for furnishing the
fire department with 5000 feet of hose
under the new advertisement were filed
yesterday in the clerks office. There
was nothing about them to indicate
from whom they were received, as they
were of course sealed. 1t is expected
that there will be at least eight bids in
before the proposals are examined at
the meeting of the council Monday. The
fight ocer the matter will be gone ever
again at the next meeting of the board
of fire commissioners and it promises to
be much more lively than tn t under the
first proposals for this same contract.
All the bids were thrown out then be-
cause the advertisement had not con-
tanned the notice that preference would
be given to California made goods. all
other things being equal. The repre-
sentatives of the companies in the
fight have remained in the city since
the first bids We're opened, and all of
them are as determined as ever to land
the contract if they can.

THOSE NEW FIRE, ENGINES
If there Were money enough in the
city treasury to pay for the two add-
tional fire engines the purchase of
which was recommended at the last
meeting of the board of fire commission
ers, there are a sufficient number of
members OF the council who would ia
vor the matter to make the purchase
certain. The official report of the pro-
ceedings of the board was filed in the
clerks office yesterday and will go to
the council tomorrow. The disposition
most probable is a reference to the
finance committee and that committee
will have to report that the expenditure
at present is out of the question. 1t is
conceded that the new engines are need
ed, but there is no money to pay for
them.

To Be Repaired and Sur
faced With Asphalt
PASADENA BOULEVARD AGAIN
CITY WILL NOT STAND THE EN-
TIRE EXPENSE OF SURVEY
Another Batch of Fire Hose Bids
The Street Sweeping Contractor
Loses a Demand

The bridge committee of the council
spent yesterday afternoon in inspecting
the bridges of the city to ascertain just
what repairs are needed on each. Ac-
companying them was Councilman
Mathuss. They left the city hall at
1880 o'clock and within five minutes
thereafter the whole party narrowly
escaped arrest. Councilman Baker was
driving, and in the same seat with him
was Councilman Nickel. In coming
down the Temple street hill, at Spring
street, the brakes on the buggy would
not hold and the speed was greater than
the members of the party noticed. AS
they approached the intersection Police
man Shannon rushed out into the street
and, with club upraised, commanded
the party to "stop in the name of the
law" They stopped, of course, for there
was nothing else to do, and before in
uuiry could be made as to what was the
matter the officer, in a dramatic man
ner, shouted: "Yez have no business,
at all, at all, comm down tha hill loike
thot." He was assured that the speed
councilmen, and was about to give them
another lecture, when he saw who it
was he was talking to. His demeanor
changed instantly, and with as correct
military salute as a regular could
give he retired and allowed the party
to proceed.
The examination of the bridges re-
vealed that some of them were in an
almost dangerous condition in places.
1t is the intention of the council to have
all the bridges coated on the roadways
with asphalt and the inspection was for
the purpose of ascertaining just what
work of strengthening the structures
was necessary before the asphalt is
placed on them. Each of the bridges
was carefully examined and the places
where repairs were most needed were
pointed out. 1t will be necessary to
lower one end of the State street bridge
and to place new concrete piers under it.
The total work of repairing will not, Il
is thought, exceed $4,000.

PASADENA BOULEVARD
The City Will Not Pay the Entire
Expense of SURVEY

While the finance committee, in whose
hands was placed the matter of provid
ing for the payment of the survey for
the Pasadena boulevard. is desirous of
having the work done as soon as posi-
BILE, it was stated yesterday at a meet
ing of that committee that no great ex-
pense would be borne by the city in the
matter. The question of how much the
municipality would spend came up and
it was suggested by certain interested
persons that the survey be made at once
and that the city stand the cost of the
same. 1t was stated by members of the
committee that the matter had already
cost $3.50, and if the city paid the whole
amount of the additional surveys it
might cost as much more. The COM
mittee decided to recommend that the
city engineer furnish description of the
property which will have to be taken in
opening the boulevard, but no recon-
mendaton that the city bear all the ex-
pense of making the total survey will
be made.

CUT DOWN AGAIN
Street Sweeping Contractor Loses a
Demand Made on Precedent

For time there was a prospect of a
repetition of the clash of a week ago in
the regular meeting of the council COM
mittee on finance yesterday between the
street sweeping contractor and the
members. of that committee. When
Clerk Reed of the health department
filed his report of pavement swept and
approved during the week it was found
that one item of $40 for cleaning up
gravel from the streets had been re-
turned to the committee without ap-
prevail The work for which this charge
was made for taking up the dirt and
gravel that had been washed down on
the pavement from the unimproved por-
tions of the adjoining streets by the
rain. Mr.. Reed stated that no one had
instructed the contractor to do this
work, which in his opinion was the duty
of the street superintendent to care for.
He had therefore declined to approve
the demand. In this the committee up
held him and the demand was not al
lowed. The contractor was inclined to
contest the matter until the reason for
the action was explained, when it was
admitted that he had received no orders
for that kind of work. He had based
his demand upon precedent.

the Ruskin Art club yesterday after
noon at the Marlborough school. A talk

the work done by the club during the
past month, and touched on the evolu-
ton of painting from the old Egyptian
vases, on to Pompeiian, Byzantine and
Italian are, up to the time of the
Renaissance.
The slides showed the representative
work of all the representative men, and
there We're pictures by Nicolas Pisano,
Campo Santo, Simabue, Giotto, Fra
Angelica, Massaccio, Mantegna, Shir-
landaio and others of worldwide fame.
The talk next month will deal with the

The ordinance is now complete, the

AGAIN ON THE WARPATH
COUNCILMEN ON THE TRAIL OF
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
The Foxy Four Looking for a Fifth
Vote With Which to Turn
Things Upside Down

If only one more vote could be secured
by four members of the city council
there would be lots of fun at tomorrow's
session of that body, for there is on foot
another scheme which has for it's OBJ
ject the official decapitation of certain
city officials. 1t will be remembered that
an unsuccessful attempt was made sew
eral weeks ago to remove Clerk Reed
of the health department, but because
Of the inability of the four members to
induce a fifth to side with them the
scheme fell through. Since then it has
been allowed to rest quietly and no men
ton was made of it in the city hall ex
cept by way of comment, for nearly
three weeks.
Yesterday, however, the four were
again in search of a fifth vote and the
purpose for which they wanted it was
not alone the removal of Reed. A much
more elaborate plan had been arranged.
OF course the members of the quartet
would not talk of tho matter. and one of
them even denied that there was any
plan on foot for the removal of any per-
son or to secure any change whatever in
the city government, but from another
member, not of the four, but of the re-
naming five of the counclmen, it was
learned that he had been approached
and asked to side with them in matter
the exact nature of which was not d.
vulged because he refused so suddenly
and emphatically that the others did not
let out their entire secret.
1T is understood that the health officer
himself was one of those whose official
heads were wanted. Another matter
which, it is rumored, the quartet desired,
is the reorganization of the council.
There was still another move which was
to be attempted if the fifth necessary vote
was secured, but what it was they
guarded so closely that even those of the
councilmen who are not in the quartet
were unable to tell. Certain it is that
the needed vote will not be secured this
week.
