A petition signed by fourteen resi-
dents Of Columbia, Avoca and state
streets and Pasadena avenue, represent
81 that the present g.ade of State street,
hetween Grace Hill and Pasadena ave-
nue., is such that the storm water COZ
lacting on Grace Hill and vicinity is
carried westward on State street 10
Pasadena avenue. 1t then passes oo"h
Pasadena avenue to Columbia stree''
and runs thence directly eastward along
Columbia street, thus forcing into the
cutters on Columbia street and Pasa-
dena avenue more than their due propor-
tion of the water. Remedies to THIS
state of affairs were suggested in the
netition. The petition was referred 10
the committee on streets and alleys.
II. r. Hertel petitioned the board TO De
allowed to keep a bicycle rack, Win the
name Bon Accord, in front OF his place
of business. The question was ralseu
az to whether this is sign or not. II II
fs a sign, there Is all ordinance Wnicn
saws all signs must be placed elgnI iee'
above the sidewalk. The matter was re-
ferred to the superintendent OF stree.s'
+ha counciI fearing that if such petit
tion is granted, such racks may become
nuisance. ,<

In the Linda Vista bridge matter M.
Carson Of the Mount Lowe Bridge COM
pany submitted a statement estimating
the cost Of the new bridge at $S07.71. 1t
Is the opinion Of the city attorney that
it would be foolish for the city to build
a new bridge. 1t should be done by the
county. A proposition was made to use
the Scovill bridge for all purposes. but
neither Mr.. Scovill nor the other prop
erty owners In the vicinity are willing
that this be done. The matter was al
lowed to rest for another week.
Bills Of the past month We're audited
and signed.
A CONSCIENCELESS THIEF
A small house in the arroyo north of
the city limits was destroyed by fire
Saturday afternoon. The house was
owned by DR.. Thatcher of Garvanza and
occupied by George Baker and family.
In the evening Baker swore out a war;
rant charging Mrs. Lugo, who lives near
by. with petty larceny. and also ask
Ing for search warrant; Marshal La
cey accompanied him to the Lugo place,
and learned from Mrs. Lugo's child that
she had seen her mother enter the house,
take certain articles and burn the dwell
ing. Articles which had belonged to the
Bakers were found near by. Mrs. Lugo
pleaded guilty this morning, and will
appear before the recorder tomorrow at
to do with her would seem to be hard
one, as she has a nursing baby to take
care of. Her husband is much older than
she. Mr.. Bakers loss by the fire was
about SITS; uninsured.
