WANT CHANGE
RanChers Before Finance
Committee
THE MARKET ORDINANCE
NOT SATISFACTORY TO THE SUB
URBAN PRODUCERS
Some Of the Amendments Which
They Would Like to See Made
in Their Interests

AT the meeting of the finance committee
of the city council yesterday morning all
Of the members were present. A dele
cation representing the ranchers and
fruit growers north of the city was also
in attendance, to give their views and
suggest certain changes in the market
regulations. P. w. Parker and E. D.
Goode represented the Eagle Rock coun-
try, while Burbank was looked after by
j. M. Gunnett.
The gentlemen presented nunlerously
signed petition. the substance of which
was published in The Herald some days
ago, asking for certain changes in the
city market regulations. 1t is COM
planned that the rent of the stalls is too
high. and that there is not sufficient
ground at the present location. A re-
duction is asked, as we'll as an amend
ment to the ordinance making a change
in the time when fruit men can leave
the market and sell their products on the
streets.
The several gentlemen addressed the
committee at some ier8th, emphasizing
the points Of the petition. The most i'm
portant matter was a reduction OF the
stall rent Then the ordinance snould
be so amended as to restrict the market
privileges to bona fide producers and
residents of the county. The hours at
which they should be allowed to sell on
the street should also be changed, and
no peddling should be allowed on
the streets until those who have patron
lied the market can also take advantage
oft. The ordinance should also provide
that the market masters certificate
should have the same effect as license
AT present those who patronize the mar
ket are forced to remain there until 10
O'Clock, when, az a matter of fact, busi-
ness is really all over by or o'clock,
and the buyers have left. In the
meantime, the regular fruit peddlers
have thoroughly covered the town, and
If the farmers have not sold out at the
market they are compelled to dispose Of
their surplus stock al a sacrifice or haul

ern part of the city was also needed, as
1t was an injustice to compel them to
pass through almost the entire city to
reach their place of business. The gen.
tlemen said that if the changes asked for
were needed it would improve matters
all around. The producers convenience

A PECULIAR ERRAND
Young Chicago Capitalist Investigat-
ing His Fathers Death

E. T. Singer of Chicago arrived here
few days ago for the purpose of inves-
tigating the circumstances of the death
of his father, H. N. Singer, a millionaire
capitalist who died at Pasadena las.
December. At that time his (Singer's)
death was supposed to have resulted
from spinal meningitis. Before the Mt
Lowe railway went into insolvency Nj.
Singer invested $4,000 in the compa-
ny's stock. He lost the greater portion
of this amount, ard Disappointment ove-
the result of his investment was sup
posed to have hastened his death. 1t is
now suggested that he did not die of
meningitis, but from other causes.
E. r. Singer was seen at the Van Nuys,
where he is stopping. last night, but alb
soutely refused to discuss his errand to
California.
II have come here for a special pur-
pose" he said, but positively refuse
to say anything about my business. II
is of such nature that will not have
it made public-at least not as having
come from me-"
The following Associated Press dis
patch in regard to the matter was re-
ceived last night from Chicago:
CHICAGO, June &c. B. Kimball,
administrator of the estate of H. M.
Singer of Chicago, who died in Pasa
dena, Cal, about five months ago, and
whose body, according to dispatches
from Pasadena, has been disinterred and
traces of poisoning found, was emphatic
in denunciation of the rumor.
The estate is estimated to be worth
$500, 900. About half of this was left to
hie widow. A divorced wife was well
provided for, two sisters and a brother
were left annuities and the balance was
bequeathed to the sons.

The superintendent of street sprink-

very amiable frame of mind yesterday
morning. There has been a great deal
of complaint lately about the dust nui-
sance, and it has been claimed that
the work has not been properly done a
strip being left dry in the middle of the
streets and also in front Of public build
ings. The superintendent has been very
sharply criticised in certain quarters
for permitting this to be done. He finally
became restive under the caustic re-
marks and yesterday relieved his mind
as follows:

The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1897-10-08

AN APPEAL for more worthy object has never
been made than that sent out several days since ask
ing for contributions towards fund for building
mortuary chapel at the Hebrew cemetery
While the matter is that appeals strongly to
sentiment, it has also intensely practical side
For years there has been complaint that funerals at
the house are deprived ofmuch Of their solennity by
of the fact that few persons can obtain adj
mission into the average that the crowd ex-
tends into the hall and street A chapel of reason
able size would prevent all this. 1t is true that the
Beth Ahaba congregation several years ago decided
that funeral services might be held from the svna-
gogue but the traditions of ages are hard to over
come, and it is admitted that there is no desire
to make use of this privilege
Possibly it may be said by some that they pay
every year towards the cemetery and do not feel in
clined to pay In this they are mist aiken after
purchasing their lot they pay another cent to
the cemetery Their yearly assessment as they well
know, goes direct to the sexton in whose name the
bills made out Not one cent do they cont rbute
towards keeping up the grounds, (wakways etc
which IS done at an annual expense of several hun
dred dollars
To class does this project appeal more
strongly than another In the of ma tlre all of
usInust pass that way, and when the sad day comes
the mourner certainly will not wish in addition to Il S
grief to feel that the last rites his dear one are
held il editce to which he did not contribute when
ne had the opportunity.
Another practical point is that a chapel at the
grounds will be long needed step III the direction of
funeral reform It will obviate the necessity of those

brought to this city and buried with haste that was
almost indecorous, and which must have grated on
the families feelings, simply because there was no
place to take them Often the hour of arrival is such
that burial cannot be had until the next or if on Fri
day, the second day following Surely at such a time
the family would thousand times rather have the
remains rest in place consecrated to Jewish service
than where the transaction was commercial one at
SO much day. .--.*..~ ~"."..
Mr.. L. L. Morris, 92S Park avenue this city is
chairman of the committee and contributions sent
him will be properly acknowledged
CAN of our big local dailes tell us why it is
that and then they feel called upon to write edi-
toral paragraphs about what good citizens the Jews
are and why others feel called upon to copy them?
They never have any comments on this line upon
the Baptists, Episcopalians, Methodsts Catholics,
or other Christian denomina tons; nor do they find
it necessary to pat the Germans French Irish Ital-
ians other nationaites the back in this manner
Is there anything startling in the fact that the
Jew is good, useful and progressive citizen? If
not why this "ulsomc fattery'? If they mean to
nsnuate that it exception for them to be SUCH
then the is unustly treated.
As matter of fact these paragraphs out Of
