The matter of placing substantial
street markers at street intersections
was discussed at length by the mem
bers of the board Of public works and
several other members of the city coun-
Gil yesterday afternoon This subject
has been before the board a number of
times and they have frequently tried to
decide just what kind Of markers were
most suitable. The members are agreed
that the best method OF marking the
streets in the business center OF the city
is by placing the names OF the streets
in large letters on two corner buildings

cone in the residence district has not
been determined. Several plans have
been suggested but the board has ac-

Spring Street Resurfacing Still
Has Chance

The communication sent to the CITY
council by the Los Angeles Oil Burning
and Supply company, which was by tha
body referred to the board of public
works, promises to create somewhat of
stir when 1t is considered at the mex.
meeting. 1t was to have been taken up
yesterday, but at the request of the
president Of the company and of the sew
eral commercial organizations of the
city which have become interested in
the matter, it was postponed until next
week.
It was explained 10 the board by rep
resentatives of the company and is also
stated in the communication. that the
present specifications for surfacing
streets with asphaltum are such as to
exclude all local frxns from any of the
benefits of such contracts. The specif-
cations for the proposed resurfacing of
Spring street may be taken as an ex-
ample. The following provision is cor.-
tained in them:
The asphaltic cement shall be composed
OF refined natural California solid asphalt
ana reHned natural lquld asphalt, un-
mixed with any of the products of coat sar,
residuum of petroleum oil or any other
inferior bituminous materials of any kind
The use of artificial asphalts or btumens
Is expressly prohibited.
This makes it impossible for Los An
geles firms to bid on the work, and it
therefore goes to northern companies
The Oil Burning and Supply company
claims that its product is as good as
that mentioned in the specifications, and
ouch is its confidence in it that the com
pany is willing to guarantee work done
with its asphaltum for the same period
as that for which the other kinds is
guaranteed The company has interest
ed the several leading commercial or
ganizations of the city in. the matter and
they will assist in the effort to have the
specifications charged. The company
and these organizations will be repre-
sented when the matter is considered at
the next meeting of the board of public
works.

Not to Blame

George Mcclellan, the recently de-
posed inspector of street sweeping,
claims that the blanks he took from the
office Of the health officer were his own
property and he therefore had a right
to them. This statement is corroborat-
ed by the health officials, who say that
they did not desire to keep the blanks.
AS to the matter of mistakes having
been made in the reports of street sweep
ing due to an erroneous estimate of the
number of blocks swept, Mcclellan had
nothing to do with the computations,
that having been done before he took
the office. DR.. Powers stated yesterday
that he had no desire to find fault with
Mcclellan now that he has been dis
missed.

PETITION WAS CHANGED
That Is the Charge Made in a Protest
Against Street Work

Mrs. NJ. S. Vandam filed a protest
against the acceptance of the work
done ON Beaudry avenue between First
and Second streets, in the office of the
city clerk yesterday, in which she makes
the charge that'the documents referring
to the matter were tampered with. She
claims that the petition for the work was
changed after the council had acted
upon it. and that the change was made
by private persons without authority.
1t is also claimed that no notices were
placed on the street before the work was
done, as is required by law. She filed
protest before the board of public
works without result and now appeals
Grect to the council.

STILL MORE QUESTIONABLE
At Least One Signature on the Spring
Street Protest Unauthorized

The protest which has been filed in
the city clerks office against the pro-
posed resurfacir.g of Spring street from
Temple to Ninth was rendered more
questionable than it had been when the
several duplicate signatures were dis
covered, by communication which was
received by Street Superintendent Drain
yesterday. This communica ton shows
that an investigation of all the sigma
lures may show that some Of the names
were signed without authority by other
persons than the owners. The note to
Mr.. Drain is as follows:
This is to certify that I did not au-
thorize anyone to sign my name to "a
protest against the resurfacing of Spring
street / owr twenty feet.
FRANK ]. PATTISON."
Soon after this was received Mr. Drain
received the following note, which ex-
plains itself:
Owing to some misunderstanding in
regard to the protest for repaving Of
Spring street, would say that after re-
considering the matter l would like to
withdraw my name and am in favor of
resurfacirg the street.
IF. G SCHUMACHER"
Mr. Schumacher is the administrator
of the Schumacher estate. which owns
l0S feet on that street. His action NAV
have the effect of inducing others to
withdraw their opposition to the much
needed Improvement.
1t is the intention of those interested
In having the work done, and this ir.-
cludes almost every merchant on Sprine
street, to take the list of names which
appears on the protest and call on each
of the persons to ascertain lust what
their objections to the Improvement are.
1t is expected that several may be found
who, like Mr. Pattison, did rot know
tneir names were on the paper until the
list was published. A number may be
f0uno who are Indifferent on the sub
5ect and who If the proper effort is made
may be induced to change their position
and withdraw from the protest
Nothing that can be done to defeat the
protest will be left undone before the
matter Is presented at the meeting of
the council Monday morning. The mer-
chants who rent their places of business
from persons whose names appear upon
the protest are endeavoring to induce
their landlords to change the position
they have taken. With the double sig
natures, those which were unauthorized
and those that have changed and will
Withdraw their opposition to the work.
tnere is less than 600 feet to be over
come by the citizens who are desirous of
making the street presentable in an
pearance and in good condition for
travel.

WHERE WERE THE sPIRITSp

The invisible spirits may respond to

kin,s" when 1t comes to helping Joyce

few blocks away, on Main street, pre-
sides Miss Louise Reese as landlady Of
a lodging house. Formerly the relations
between the landlady and the fortune
teller were Of more friendly nature
than they are now, hence the story.
Madame Reese was the possessor of
a guitar which she priced far beyond its
intrinsic value. One day she was show
ing the instrument to Joyce, who no
ticed that two of the strings were brok-
en-, and. remarking that he was some
thing of a conn oisseur in the art of
mending guitars. he generously sug-
gested that he take the instrument home
and replace the broken strings. His
offer seemed kind and was accepted
The days passed and heightened into
weeks. No further mention was made of
the guitar and Madame Reese, imagin.-
ing that perhaps the spirits had taken
a fancy to the instrument and liked 10
twang the strings for the amusement of
their master, decided not to be the first
to mention its return.
A few days ago something happened
which made very decided change in
the relations which had existed between
the couple, and demand for the imme-
diate return of the guitar was made.
Joyce blandly replied that he no longer
had it and that the instrument had de-
parted from his possession as many as
several months ago. In fact he hai
loaned it to a friend who had taken II
away with him to Fresno. When the
owner Of the instrument was satisfied
that she could get possession of her
property in no other way she appeared
at the district attorneys office and
swore to a complaint charging Joyce
with embezzlement. A warrant was is |
sued for his arrest and. this was turned
over to Deputy Constable Mugnemi,
who served it yesterday. Whether
through supernatural offices or other |
wise the guitar was immediately return |
ed to the fortune teller and he was able |
to produce it at almost an instant's no. |
tice. After returning the guitar Joyce
accompanied the officer to the police |
court, where he paid IS costs to have the |
case dropped, which was done, as the |
woman did rot care to prosecute 1t after |
her property had been returned.
