THEY WANT TO GET IN
OUTSIDE OIL MEN WILL JOIN THE
PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION
Meeting Held Yesterday Morning to
Take Acknowledgements of Oil
During the Past Month

The general shut down of the oil wells
which was ordered by the oil producers
trustees and took effect on October 18th,
has resulted favorably so far as the
trustees are concerned. Although the
ostensible reason given for the sudden
stoppage was the enormous amount of
oil on hand at that time. still there was
another object in view, namely, the aug
menting of the membership, whereby the
association would represent fully 95 per
cent of the entire number of we'll own
ers in the fields. This object is in fair
way to be accomplished for at meet
ing of those oil men who are not men,
bers yesterday morning in the office of
the Doheney- Cannon Oil company those
present were unanimous in agreeing to
attend a special meeting of the pro-
ducers' trustees tomorrow, October 2Sth,
in their office in the Baker block for the
purpose of effecting some arrangement
whereby those not already members
of the organization will either join or
organize a plan to work in conjunction
and harmony with the larger concern,
being allowed, however, certain privi-
leges from which the members as gen.
eral rule are debarred.
This arrangement, if carried out, will
practically mean the combination of all
the oil dealers in the city, which has
been the ultimate aim and object of the
trustees since their organization.
Secretary Edward Strasburg of the
oil producers trustees is quite enthusi-
astic over the way in which the oil busi-
ness is progressing at the present time.
Chino, Los Alamitos, Ventura and the
surrounding towns are all receiving their
shipments of oil as fast as the tank cars
can be loaded. A fair estimate of the oil
shipped in the last month is four cars
per day, which, at the rate of 5000 gal
Ions per car, makes a daily average ex-
portation of $4,000 gallons. The shut
down will terminate on Sunday even
ing, October 31st, and in all probability
Monday morning, November 1st will
see the entire field operating under the
direction and beneficial management of
the oil producers trustees.

ATTORNEY DUNNS' OPINION
Will Divide Victory Between Fire
men and Boiler Inspector

| City Attorney Dunn, when he rem
ders his opinion on the right of the
boiler inspector to inspect fire engine
boilers and to require licenses of fire
| engineers. is expected to give each side
engaged in the controversy a partial
victory. Although he has not said in so
many words just what his opinion will
be, he has dropped hints that give some
idea of what he will say.
The probability is that he will hold
that the ordinance under which the boil
er inspector acts gives him the right to
inspect fire engine boilers whenever he
so desires. There is no ambiguity in the
ordinance for it plainly says each and
every steam boiler in the city shall be
inspected.
In regard to the claim that the en-
sineers must pass an examination and
secure licenses before they can perform
their duties it is expected that the city
attorney will decide against the in
spector. The city charter provides the
manner in which the members of the fire
department are to be chasen and by
whom and for what causes they are to be
discharged. The boiler inspection ordi-
nance contains the provision that the
board of examining engineers may by
unanimous vote revoke the license
which may have been issued to any en-.
gineer. 1t is therefore argued by the
fire commissioners that in the matter
of discharging men in the fire depart
ment the ordinance might conflict di-
rectly with the charter and that there
fore the ordinance can not be made to
operate against members of the fire
department. This has been pointed out
to the city attorney and it is believed
he will make it the basis of his opinion
against the necessity of fire department
engineers having to pass examinations
Even if the inspectors win in one part
of their fight it is thought that the re-
suit of their inspections of some of the
fire engines will cause surprise. There
are now in the service of the city sew
eral engines which have become almost
worn out. They are good for some serv-
ice yet, but may be below the standard
established by the inspectors. In event
of their being found so they might be
condemned another clash of au-
thority would be the almost certain re-
suit, as the inspector would demand that
their use be discontinued, and the fire
would probably keep them
in service until money for new engines
was appropriated.

| pended in the purchase of sites and the
erection of new buildings. This does
not include alone the new buildings
| that are to be erected, but in it is also
included the cost of securing to the city
the ownership of certain of the present
quarters of the fire department which
are now being leased. There will be
five new houses in all. Their exact To-
cation has not been decided upon and
will not be for some months to come.
With the remaining 100000 of the bond
issue money the new houses will be
equipped with the latest fire fighting
apparatus. he mos. important i'm
the addition of two new hook and lad
der trucks. The need of these has been
felt at almost every fire that the de-
partment has attended in the residence
district for months. All the ladders
that the firemeA have to depend upon in
most residence fires are the small ones
carried on the chemical engines and
these are wholly inadequate. Several
of the firemen have been injured by the
breaking of these ladders. The new
trucks will not be of the aerial kind but
will contain n8sts of ladders ranging in
length from ten foot scaling ladders to
45 foot extension ladders. With these
any fire in any residence in the city can
be reached and it will no longer be nee
essary to drag the heavy trucks now in
service to fires where they would not
be used. The big Hill street truck win
be kept in the business center of the
city and will not respond to alarms in
the residence districts.
Two new steam fire engines to replace
old ones now in service will be pur-
chased and three other new steamers will
be placed in houses in parts of the city
now remote from the quarters of any
fire company. Five chemical engines
will be added to the department. The
cost of these new appliances will be
kept within the 100000, and with the
additions to be made Los Angeles will
have department as good as any on
the coast
The interest which will be paid on the
bonds will amount to $4,000 per annum.
When it is considered that the city is
now paying $4,000 rental for buildings
alone it will be seen that there will be
saving of $4,000 per year in the bond
issue which will create a sinking fund
that will amount to nearly two thirds
of the total amount of the bonds when
they become due.
The plans will be passed upon by the
fire commissioners and will then go to
the city council. 1t is expected that that
body will approve them before the pas
sage of the final ordinance calling the
bond election.

A striking little pamphlet entitled

been issued by Secretary Ball, setting
forth the advantages of the association in

The evening classes are doing well,
and the attendance is fully twice as

course, without any doubt, appears to
be that of Mining and Mineralogy,"
which is attended by fully forty-five
young men. The other subjects which
come next in popularity are arithmetic,
