BRIDGE AND FIRE BONDS
Preparations for the Proposed Election
for Municipal Improvement

Just at present the city councilmen are
all torn up among themselves as to the ad-
visibility or otherwise of tacking on to
the proposed election for sl5o0OO fire bonds
rider" submitting at the same time a
proposition to vote $4,000 or more for the
construction of bridges. Four of these
structures are needed one across the river
at the end of Walnut street, East Los
Angeles, giving access to Griffith park
one across the Arroyo Seco at a point
not yet determined; one across the arroyo
near Hollenbeck park, and a new structure
to replace the present Ninth street bridge.
All this will cost in the neighborhood of
$50. 900. Several of the councilmen have de-
clared themselves against submitting the
bridge proposition at the same time as the
fire bonds, fearing that the rider will dam
age the chances Of the fire bonds, which
are badly needed. and which, alone, there
is no doubt would pass.

MODIFICATION RECOMMEN DED
TO THE COUNCIL
BRIDGE AND FIRE BONDS
Preparations for Calling a Special
Election-The Griffith Demand
Still Hung Up-Notes

Before the board of public works yester-
day the sign ordinance controversy was
again brought up upon a petition from a
number of merchants asking that signs
permanently attached to buildings be ex-
empted from the provisions of the ordi-
nance prohibiting any sign from extending
over the sidewalk line. A delegation ap-
peared to voice their side of the case and
support the petition.
They declared that the authorities were
carrying the requirements of the ordi-
nance to an absurd length. The ordinance
was a good one, declared Mr.. Crandall, as
applied to distractions such as signs, posts
and bulletin boards over the sidewalks, but
the police authorities were trying to make
him remove a sign which was nailed tight
to bay window above the first story. The
police, he said, declared that inasmuch as
the bay window projected over the walk,
no signs could be painted on the windows.
The councilmen expressed themselves as
of the opinion that the ordinance was never
meant to cover such signs and adopted a
recommendation that the city attorney
prepare and present an amendment to the
ordinance permitting the maintenance of
such signs as are now permanently at
tached to the buildings erected on the prin-
cipal streets and which are not a menace to
the public.
This vexatious matter having been dis
posed Of the board next took up the petit
ton of J. l.. Wilson asking that an ordi-
nance be passed prohibiting the festive
small boy from flying kites or playing ball
on public streets. After grave and serious
discussion of the menace to the public aris-
ing from the indulgence in such reprehen-
sible practices on the streets, 1t was de-
cided to recommend that the city attorney
draw up an ordinance as prayed for.
Routine matters were acted upon as fol-
lows:
Recommend that the petition from E.
Lissner be referred to the city engineer
with instructions to define the lines of al
ley in block bounded by Ninth, Tenth, Hill
and Olive streets as petitioned for.
Recommend that the petition from Poin-
dexter & Wadsworth, asking that cement
walks and curbs be constructed on the
north side of Twenty fourth street between
Toberman street and Union avenue be re-
ferred to the city engineer for investiga-
ton.
We recommend that the petition from
William Dryden and others be referred to
the city engineer with instructions to make
an estimate of the cost of grading, curb
ing and sidewalking with cement five feet
wide Jefferson street between McClintock
and Vermont avenues, and II said estimate
exceeds the amount required by law then
to present an ordinance of intention for
such work under the bond act. We recon-
mend further that said proceedings pro-
vide that walks on the south side of said
street four feet wide on grade or nearly
so be left intact II practicable.

A Small Fire

The department responded to an alarm Of
fire last night about 11:45 o'clock from box
So at the corner of Bunker Hill avenue and

dence of Mrs. Robinson at 710 Temple street

engines on Broadway and Temple street
and bolted south on Broadway, spilling the

stopped on Broadway, near Fourth street.

SHOT FOUR TIMES
Chase After Supposed Burglar Last
Thursday Night

Constable Harry Johnston got the wrong
man Thursday night but the fellow gave
him as much trouble as if he had been some
desperate character.
A stairbuilder who resides on Ceres ave-

of his cottage to place some paint under
meath, as he desired to do some work the
next day. Somebody passing mistook him
for burglar, and on being approached

master allows the renter to hold the

nuRIAL AM FARNHURsT.


The Wayfarer's attention was called
recently to the manner in which the
bodies OF paupers and county depend
ents are Inferred in Potter's field ad-
joining the county almshouse, at Farm
hurst. Al one end Of the already long
line OF mounds. numbering over 500,
one or two graves are always kept
open Tor the reception OF their ex-
pected occupants. and as soon as one is
filled another is dug thus always re-
mindlng one "that in the midst of life
we are in death"
On Friday last three interments took
place in this spot, one a colOred man,
the other two children. The body of
the man was just lowered into tine ever
ready grave and upon the rough pine
box were placed the coffins OF the two
children, one at the head and one at the
foot. No earthly ties bound these three
together, who in death were all con
signed to the same tomb No funeral
service was read over the bodies, and IL
is said that but with two excep
tions not a single word has been ut
tired by a clergyman at the grave OF the
dead buried there in the last ten years
Would it not be a good idea for the
clergy of this city, irrespective OF creet
or color, to band together and for some
one OF them to offer his services to per
form the last rites at each OF these un
christlan-like burlals? The Wayfarel
thinks so.

CIRCULAR no EXAMINERs.

who are pensioners or who have vouch-

Sir: Recent investigation had by

employed by public officials in execut-

an almost total disregard OF the laws
and regulations governing the subject.

procedure now eXtant has become a
menace to the proper and safe conduct
CT the affairs OF this bureau, so far as
it relates to the payment of pensions
and special efforts are contemplated to
correct the existing abuses.
While it is believed that many OIL
cials who assist in the execution OF
pension vouchers have no conception OF
their criminal liability in the premises
It is equally certain that many Others
to secure an advantage in the numeri.
cal number Of their clientage, know.
ingly, and wilfully resort to violations
Of the law
To the end that the former class may
profit by this notice, this circular is

There can be no Justification in the
prevalent haste and laxity existing in
many offices, by which post-dating
false certiication, false claim ant
STOCK" witnesses have become factor
in the administration and acknowledg.
ment Of pension vouchers.
1t is the intention OF this bureau
where the facts warrant such action. tC

and irregular practices and they ar,
warned accordingly.
