About one hundred tons of baled hay,
stored in the large barn on the old Han

Downey avenue and Alta street. East
Los Angeles was destroyed by fire last
night between 8 and 10 o'clock The orr

having gained great Roadway when dis
covered.
The barn in which the hay was stored
was g. large and fine structure, having
cost $4,000 to erect and being worth
probably $4,000. The loss on the hay
will amount to $500, with some insur-
ance. The inflammable stuff made a
fierce blaze, which the firemen did not
attempt to extinguish, contenting them
selves with watching at the scene all
night to prevent any possibility of the
fire spreading. Barn and contents were

CITY HALL NOTES
Examination for Boiler Inspector Postponed
Visit to Elysian Park

Examination for Boiler Inspector Postponed.
Visit to Elysan Park
The examination for boiler inspectors
was yesterday postponed until Saturday
on account Of misunderstanding as to
the day set
Yesterday afternoon the city council
members of the park commission, rep
resentatives of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' association and of the press
visited Elysian park to inspect the work
done by the unemployed. They went
out in a car provided by the electric
company. The work already done was
inspected and views exchanged on the
scheme now in such successful opera
ton.
There Is now on record in the street
superintendent office an assessment
for laying a sewer on Commercial street,
between Welcome street and Lake Shore
avenue. S. ]. Edwards, at 206h South
Broadway, is the contractor.
Street Superintendent John Drain Is
greatly worried over the councils prob
able design to cut down his force after
April l, in the way of retrenchment. Su-
perintendent Drain says that he has but
60 men now to look after 500 miles of
streets in the city, the rest of his force
being employed in flushing sewers, etc
This force is far too small to accomplish
all the work on the streets with any,
thing like proper dispatch, and does not
permit half the attention the streets re-
quire. The retrenchment, he argues,
should not be commenced in his depart
ment anyway, as long as there is like
lihod of heavy rains, which wash out
cutters, tear up streets, and cause
weeks of repairs and patchwork.
A petition to the city council has been
filed by property owners in the business
portion of the CITY asking that no
franchise be granted to individuals or
corporations to erect additional poles on
the sidewalks. The numerous poles al
ready erected are an incumbrance and
hindrance to the public and they pro-
test against all further erection of poles
where the business can be conducted by
placing wires in underground conduits
