FIRE MARSHAL WANTED
City Council to Be Asked to Create
Such Oface for Oil Inspections

A new city Office is to be created soon
II the examination into the question Of
the sale of dangerously explosive oils in
this city results as is expected. The mat
ter is not new one, as on February 3
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation recommended the appointment
of such an officer. The new position pro-
posed is that of fire marshal, whose duty
It shall be to test all oils offered for sale
for domestic use, and to also make ex-
aminations of buildings in the course of
construction to ascertain their liability
to dangerous confagrations.
The local board of underwriters ap-
proved the action of the merchants as
son the council did not choose to make
the appointment of such an officer pos
sible. The matter will not come up in
the council at once, but will be recon-
mended only after an examination of the
regulations with reference to the sale of
oil in use in other cities. The mayor has
written for copies Of the laws on this
subject, and all Of the replies will not be
received for two weeks or more.
There was a fire yesterday morning on
Pasadena avenue which was caused by
the use Of inferior oils, and Fire Chief
Moore stated that one-half the fires in
the city were caused in that manner. 1t
is urged in support of the plan to appoint
such an officer that the loss of one fire
might pay his salary for years, and by
his doing his full duty many blazes
might be prevented.

Merchants and Manufacturers Advo-

The following communication from
the Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation was filed yesterday with the city
clerk and is self-e explanatory:
November 6, 1897
ITO the Hon. City Council, Los An
geles, Cal-Gentlemen: On September
goth letter was addressed by this asso
citation to the honorable board of public
works in regard to the necessity of mod
flying the specifications for asphalt in
street paving so as to furnish the widest
possible scope for competition in public
works.
up to the present time no action has
been taken and no recommendation has
been made by the board of public works,
and in view of the fact that important
street improvements are contemplated,
such as the paving of Spring street and
Main street, we urgently request that
your honorable body determine the mat
ter at an early date in order to give the
property owners the benefit Of larger
field of competition, which would ensue
if the specifications were made more
general in their character.
1.-The home products committee of the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
ton. having carefully considered the
matter, begs to suggest that instead of
there being four sets of specifications
for asphalt street work, as at present,
that one set should be adopted which
would cover the whole matter, therein
specifying the constituent parts of good
asphalt. By SO doing any asphalt COM
ing up to the specifications could COM

TO INSPECT PLUMBING
Sanitary Condition Of the City Hall
to Be Examined by an Inspector

That the city hall is not in anything
like the best. or even in good, sanitary
condition was forcibly called to the at
tention of nearly every person who had
business on the second floor Of that
building yesterday afternoon. For a
time a sickening stencil prevaded the
Railways. and even found its way into
some Of the offices. where the employees
were compelled to stand 1t. President
Silver Of the council noticed 1t as soon
as he entered the building and tried to
ascertain the source of 1t. He was not
successful, and several other officers
also failed in a similar search. 1t was
the opinion of those whose comfort was
disturbed by the stencil that it was due
to escaping sewer gas. This was the
opinion Of Mr.. Silver, and tomorrow
at the council he will present resolu-
ton providing for a thorough inspection
Of the plumbing in the building. 1t Is
probable that the plumbing superintend-
ent will be instructed to do this work
and to make all necessary repairs.

Main Street Petition Filed
With City Engineer
SPRING STREET TO FOLLOW
TELEPHONE COMPANY TO PUT
WIRES UNDERGROUND
Water Experts Engaged by the Fl.
nance Committee-To Create the
ONCE Of Fire Marshal

The petition for the resurfacing Of
Main street from Temple to Ninth was
filed in the office Of the city engineer
yesterday afternoon by Police Commits
sioner McLain, who has had charge Of
the work of circulating it among the
property owners. The reason for pre-
senting 1t first to the city engineer is
that it is desired that he make an ex-
animation Of it and report as to whether
It contains a majority Of frontage on
the street. If the necessary majority
10 found, and there is not the slightest
doubt as to the matter, he will endorse
that finding on the petition which will
then be sent to the council.
Immediately upon the filing of the Pc
titfon a motion will be made instruct
ing the city engineer to present the nee
essary ordinance Of intention for the
work. This ordinance will be prepared
in advance and it is expected that it
will be at once adopted. All that will
remain is the passage of the final ordi-
nance which will be done after the ex-
piration OF the time specified in the
first ordinance. The matter will not be
referred to the board of public works
or to any other committee Of the council
as the members know just what kind
of report would be made.
II possible the resurfacing OF Spring
and Main streets will be done at about
the same time and it is the opinion Of the
street superintendent that the work on
both streets will be completed.before the
1st Of January.
SPRING STREET PETITION
Contrary to expectations the petition
for the resurfacing of Spring street was
not filed in the city clerks Office yester-
day, the reason being that those who
have the matter in charge desire to Sc
cure the signature of two additional
property owners so as to still further in
crease the majority of frontage repre-
sented upon the petition. 1t will be
filed the first thing Monday morning.
Up to last night the frontage represent
ed on the petition amounted to $3.50 feet,
and with the two additional signatures
this will be increased at least 200 feet.
According to the estimate made by the
city engineer, 1897 feet Is a majority of
the frontage so that 1t will be seen that
the petition will represent more than
a thousand feet more than Is really nee
essary to secure the work.
1t is the intention of some Of the men,
berS of the council to secure the adop-
ton of the necessary ordinance of in
tention for the work at the same meet
ing of the council at which the petition
is filed. II this Is done 1t will save two
weeks time in which the work can be
done. The matter has already been be-
fore the board of public works and it will
not be necessary to have that body again
pass upon it. The city engineer will
make an examination Of the petition to
see that the majority Of frontage is rep
resented upon it and the passage Of the
ordinance Of intention will follow as
soon thereafter as possible. At the ex-
piration Of the time provided by law the
final ordinance will be adopted and bids
for the work will be advertised for
