Many of the so-called blood puri-

SLIPPED ON THE PAVEMENT
A Veteran Meets With a Serious
Accident

Wrthing with agony. Cornelius j.
Ballou. an old soldier and an inmate of
the Soldiers home, was carried into tn =
receiving hospital yesterday to be trated
for broken hip. Ballou recently re-
ceived his pension allowance and came
to the cit yon a furlough. He indulged
little too freely in spirituous liquors
yesterday, which was responsible for
the unsteady condition in which he. found
himself as he rounded the corner of
Spring and Main streets His foot slip
ped and he came down upon the pave
ment with great force. Sergeant Nor
ton and Officer Ben Robbins picked him
up and placed him in the patrol wagon.
At the receiving hospital DIR. Hagan ad-
justed the broker bones. The break was
about two inches below the joint on the
left leg. The patient was made as COM
Portable as possible and then trans
ferred to the county hospital. From the
nature of the injury it is stated by DR..
Hagan that If the break heals at al;
Ballou will probably always suffer with
a stiff leg.

FOR THEMSELVES ONLY
Downey Avenue Property Owners
Want Boulevard of Their Own

Another boulevard proposition is to
be submitted to the city council, the
petition upon which it will be based
having been started yesterday after
noon.
1t is not entirely new plan as to the
route to be followed but it will present
some new features to the board of pub
lie works, to whom it will be presented
1t is the request of the property owners
along Downey avenue for permission to
construct a boulevard of their own, ir-
respective of other plans for such high
ways which may now be under consider
ation Ever since the boulevard fight
for the two different routes proposed. has
been on the suggestion to connect Dow
ney avenue with one OF them in what
might be termed loop has been under
consideration. A, number of thes own
ers of property along that thorough
fare have been earnestly at work to Sc
cure some action favorable to the plan.
1t was thought that the victory of the
Adobe road project might carry the
Downey avenue proposition with it, but
as the Adobe road route Is by no means
certain of being finally chosen the Dow
ney avenue people have decided to do
a little work for themselves and let the
Adobe road and the Arroyo Seco route
people settle their differences II they
can
A new petition was therefore pre-
pared in which the council will be asked
to let the owners of the property along
that avenue build a boulevard Of their
own; to permit them to make an assess
ment district of their own and to pay for
their own boulevard by assessments -
levied on their property, irrespective of
what other routes may be decided upon
What they want is fine, wide driveway,
connecting with whichever of the other
routes may be selected and they claim
they are willing to pay for it, provided
they are not doubly assessed and have

boulevard Talk, and Routine Matters
Acted Upon by the Board

Yesterdays session of the board Of

street improvements, the petitions for

referred to that body by the city council
It had been expected that the boulevard
matter would again come up and would
result in additional debate by those in
favor OF the two routes to Pasadena.

with which these are broken. The erec-
ton Of iron signs on sections of pipe
meets with the same objection, as it is
believed that the small boy would soon
demolish them with stores.
A plan that seems to meet with the
approval of the board on such streets as
new cement sidewalks may hereafter be
laid upon. is to stamp the names of the
streets In the cement 1t is not improb-
able that this plan may cause change
to be made in the specifications for side
walks yet to be built. The streets in
Santa Monica are marked in this mar-
ner and the markings have been found
to be indestructble. The plan could
not be adapted to streets in which the
sidewalks have already been laid. and
for such streets some other plan will
have to be devised.
The board took no other action in the
matter yesterday than to decide to ask
for plans from persons who are In that
business. They will also endeavor to as
certain the method now in use in other
large cities in the country with a view
to adopting some one Of them here.

ANOTHER PROTEST
More of the Property Owners Who
Oppose the Boulevard Project

A numerously signed protest against
the proposed widening Of Pas

was filed in the city clerks office yes

lures of alleged owners of S60S feet of
property, all of whom claim to be op-

order to widen the street. The protest
states that ten feet each has already
been taken off their property and t.
widen the roadway by taking thirty five
feet additional on each side would ruin
many homes" and cause an expense and
loss which could not be afforded
