trict-City Hall News

City Auditor Nichols yesterday filed his
quarterly recapitulation Of the condition of
the city finances a. shown in the reports OF
the various departments. The figures are
in view of the fact that council,
at the beginning of the fiscal year, cut
the estimates Of many Of the departments in
very considerable aums, and therefore
forced retrenchment. That the heads of
departments are accepting the cuts in the
proper spirit and are keping well within
their allowances is evidenced by the fact
that with one-fourth Of the year gone, only
500, ,223.Sl Of the total set aside for the year
OF $500, ,288.44 has been spent. This is $ll,
847 30 less than one-fourth Of the allowance,
and should the same care be taken in ex-
penditures for the remainder of the time
the treasurey would show the very neat bal
ance of nearly $4,000 at the end of the
twelvemonth.
This showing is especially gratifying to
those members of the council who are anx-
ious to see the city out of debt in its cur
rent expense account. The recapitula-
tion is appended:

have been signed by P. B. Roy, the proprie-
tor of the Westminster barber shop Alex
ander had at one time been employed there
as bootblack and as Cline was well ac-
quainted with Roy, he gave the boy the
sweater. Later when Cline spoke to Roy

Two men from Michigan and one from
Texas, who enlisted in Company E from

der the impression that they would receive

Secretary Zeehandelaar wrote C. H. Nc
Kerett, chairman of the auxiliary in that
place, asking if Santa Paula could take care OF
the men of its company. The answer come
promptly that they can and will, 80 the men
were sen ito Santa Paula yesterday.
A member of Company F made careful
list of the men who have no homes and
need work, and took it to the secretary,
saying he would take care of one man him
self until he receives his money. A num-
ber have been re-instated in positions they

all will be provided for. Persons who can
give employment are requested to send their

DE aRooT's SCHEME
Will Drill for Water, but Oil May
Como. You Know

w. E. De Groot is said to have another
plan for evading the oil limit ordinance. He
bases it on the theory that law which pre-
vents drilling for oil cannot interfere with
one who is desirous of developing water.
Therefore, if anyone asks him now what he
proposes to do with the derrick and ma
chinery he has located well within the 1900
foot limit, he gives them most elaborate
explanation of an equally elaborate project.
He asserts that somewhere in the rock
a vein of water heavily impregnated with
sulphur. Such fluid possesses rare curative
properties and for the man who develops it
and builds sanitarium on the crest of Mob
Hill fortune is waiting. De Groot is not
letting any chances for fortune making slip
away from him and he claims that his inten-
tions to make test of the proposition are
perfectly sincere.
How many people he can get to believe in
his sincerity remains to be seen.
