A WARNING LETTER
Bids for Street Improvement Alleged
to Be Irregular

The board of public works received
somewhat unusual communication yes
terday which they refused to make pub
lie for the present, but as a result of
which they did not examine the bids that
had been referred to them for the i'm
provement of Twenty Twenty
second and Adams streets and they will
carefully examine what these bids con-
tain, as the communication hints that all
is not right with them. The proposals
had been opened and close enough ex-
animation Of them had been made to
show that c. H. Metcalfe was the lowest
bidder on the three pieces of work before
the communication was received, but
as soon as it was read all proceedings
were stopped pending an examination
Of the bonds attached.
Who sent in the communication the
members would not say, nor would they
state the exact nature of its contents
Enough was learned, however, to make
certain that the board had been warned
against accepting Mr.. Metcalfe's bids
for the reason, the letter stated
that the names of none of the securities
on his bond for the work appeared upon
the assessment rolls of the city, as pro-
vided by law. 1t also stated that there
was bid in which came indirectly from
Contractor Mccormack, who was re-
Gently declared to he an irresponsible
bidder.
No recommended tions as to the letting
of the contract will be made. until the
board can ascertain whether all Of the
bids are regular and just which of them,
if any, do not fully comply with the law
The name of the writer Of the commu-
nication will not be disclosed even after
this examination is made

S. A. Randall petitioned the city coun-

S. A. Randall petitioned the city coun-
Gil yesterday to change and establish
the grade of Lake street from Tenth TO
Eleventh, that work being necessary
before he can make extensive improve
ments upon his property.
Frank B. Harbert filed a demand for
SIS. He claims that he had constructed a
sidewalk at Thirty-second and McClin-
tock streets after a grade had been es-
tablished. This grade was changed and
he was compelled to relay the walk at the
expense stated.
Property owners residing on Hewitt
street between First and Third petit
toned the council for the construction
Of the five foot cement sidewalk along
that street, the work to be- done under
the provisions Of the general street law
Of California.
Poindexter & Wadsworth sent COM
munication to the council in which 1t
was stated that the work Of the chain
gang on Ord street threatened to dam
age certain property which the firm con-
trolls at Hill and Ord streets. They re-
quest that an investigation be made
before the work Is continued there. The
same firm petitioned the city council to
establish the grade of E street from Mid
land avenue to what is known as the
Los Angeles and Pasadena boulevard.

FINANCIAL MATTERS
Saloon Rebates Hung Up-Tax Sale
Rebates Claimed

A short session of the finance commit
tee was held yesterday to dispose of
routine business that had been referred
OF it at the last meeting of the council.
1t had been expected that the committee
would dispose of the petitions of several
saloon keepers for rebates on their IL
censes, but that matter was not taken
up. 1t is und derstood that there are sew
eral other similar claims from saloon
keepers which are being held pending
the fate of those now before the COM
mittee. If the committee grants those
before it the others will be filed, and If
the demands are refused the others will
take no action.
The reports of the city auditor, city
assessor, Florence home and free labor
bureau were approved. The demand of
Police Matron Gray for $24 paid into the
police pension fund was referred to the
board of police commissioners.
In the matter of the. petition of NJ.
Haley for cancellation of tax sale
Of a portion of his property through
the fact that that property had been
doubly assessed. the committee recon-
mend that the claim be allowed. 1t ap-

THROUGH ALASKA IN A CAR
A Chicago Man Thinks He Has Solved
the Transportation Problem

The genius of Chicago man, w. T.
Croslen, is said to have contrived means
Of overcoming the barriers Of nature
and weather in Alaskan wilds and put
ting tourists into Dawson in less than 10
days after leaving the seashore. In
December Mr.. Croslen expects to under
take this excursion, with. as he hopes,
thirty-five tourists. The route by sea
will be from Seattle to Fort Wrangle,
and then the overland journey to Daw
son will be undertaken, not afoot or
horseback, but in car.
This car is to be electrically propelled,
lighted and heated. AS a combination
Of car and boat the car will be thirty
five feet long, and eleven feet wide, and
the seats will be made so as to be turned
into hunks at night. 1t will be pro-
PEELED by two cog wheels at the rear,
and will move on runners. If on lake
or river the ice should break, the car
would become a bouyant boat and the
cog wheels would become the propellers.
An eighteen horsepower engine will
generate the electricity.
Mr.. Croslen claims that cars similar
to this one have been long and success
fully employed in Canada to bring logs
over the snow, and down the ce-bound
rivers to lake ports.
From Fort Wrangle there will be
smooth route along the surface Of the
Stickine river 140 miles to Telegraph
creek. There tableland will be trav-
ersed to Lake Tesline. 1876 miles and then
after coursing, or tobogganing, ninety
five miles down the Lewis river the
Yukon will be reached. Over its broad
surface 1t will be plain sailing or rather
sliding, to Dawson. The trip of 76O miles
will thus be accomplished without a
frost-bitten ear or the loss CT meals Or
sleep.
The company to conduct this enter
prise is capitalized at $40, ,000, 900, and is
called. the Great Northern Building and
Transportation company. - Chicago

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Exchange System

The Globe is glad to state, after thor
ough inquiry, that the bulk of the fruit
of Southern California will be marketed
during the coming season through the
exchange system-a much larger pro-
portion than last season. A few of the
associations which last year thought to
be better able to market their fruit in
dependent Of the exchange system
found their expenses greater and no
better prices for their products. The ex.
penses, a little larger in the beginning
of the exchange system. owing to its be-
ing a new move. have been reduced to a
minimum, and the coming year promises
to be one Of the most prosperous the val

perienced by the growers Of citrus fruits.
