FIRE BOARD MEETING
New Fire Hose Order Likely to Make a
Lively Fight

Foundation for another merry scrap was
laid yesterday by the city fire commission
In their action deciding that 5000 feet of new
fire hose must be purchased. The occasion
of the purchase of fire hose last November
was the signal for one of the livelest tits
which ever took place in the city hall. At
the request of the fire commission the
council advertised for bids for 5000 feet of
hose, and about dozen bids were submit
ted, the representatives of many eastern
companies being the ground in person.
The state law requires that preference be
given to California bidders, everything else
being equal, but such a provision was mad
vertently omitted from the advertisements
That 1t was desirable was made evident
when the bids We're opened, many of them
being identically the same, and the situa-
tion resolving itself into a question of
merely which bidder should be favored
To meet the emergency all bids were re-
jected, and a new advertisement was pre-
pared, in which the preference to Califor-
mia productions was designated When
the second batch of bids was submitted
most of them We're much lower than before
and instead of being in keeping with each
other, they were at wide variance. on
this ground, at the subsequent hearing on
the matter of qualities before the fire com
mission, to whom the bids were referred.
charges of combinati ton on the first bids
submitted were freely made. the lie was
passed frequently, and a general rough
house ensued. With a desire to amicably
settle the dispute, and with view to Sc
curing an opportunity of testing the merits
or the various brands of hose at the same
time, the commission finally recommended
TO the council that five bidders proposi-
tions to be accepted for 1000 feet each.
Another rough house resulted when this
recommendation came before council the
next week, and after another long discuss
sion the recommendation was oyerruled
and the whole contract was awarded to W
Z. Furrey q Co., Of Los Angeles. for the
Dragon brand of hose a 10 cents Der foot
the vote, however being five to four, not
sufficient to carry with 1t the payment of
the money. On this account the matter
was 'hung up for weeks and by agree
ment the fire commissions recommends
tion was finally approved the contract be-
ing awarded for 1908 feet each of Bay State
Paragon, Bowers, Mastiff and Dragon
hose. s'1
Inc purchase now to be made is for 6ooo
rect, thus involving an expenditure Of no,r
10000. and the manufacturers Will probabl,,
be after the contract with both feet. The
specifications will cali for 2ls-inch cotton

Cost Of the New Charter

It became known yesterday around the
city hall that an effort is soon to be maze
to have Garvanza and University annexed
to the city of Los Angeles. petition ao-
dressed to the city council Is being circu-
lated among the residents of the districts
in question, and the city dads Will soon
be asked to take the necessary steps lot the
tacking on Of this additional territory.
1t Is some time since the question OF an
nexing territory was up, and Garvanza ana
University were included In the original
proposition. But an informal canvass or
the residents Of the Garvanza district
showed that there was much opposition TO
the suggestion of taking In the entire dis
trict. The promoters therefore changed
their boundary lines and sought the an
nexation of only that district now known
as Highland park. Subsequently, an cleo
tion was held and the proposition carried,
the territory duly becoming part OF the
city.
Not so with University however. The
promoters of that proposition were not so
keen in scenting the breakers ahead, and
let their original boundaries be voted down.
They located the districts most violently
opposed to 1t, however, and at second
election a proposition leaving out much of
University proper, but taking in all the
outlying territory. was carried.
Both Garvanza and University have
since regretted tnat tney dlu not come III aC
that time, and as rapidly-improving Los
Angeles grew up all around them, the sight
of fine streets, sanitary conveniences and
other advantages coming from being part
and parcel of great city is believed to have
caused an entire change of sentiment
Realizing this fact the petitions before
mentioned were started. and the movement
is said to have met with most substantial
encouragement. So substantial In fact,
= hos ho hox, tha iea+ IL, OBJ
believe that very slight opposition will be
met with.
There are a great number of interesting
questions to be considered in connection
with the proposition, such as increase in
the citys population and property valua-
ton, political changes and their possible
effect on the political complexion of the
city. The matter will probably not come
up for official consideration for couple of
weeks.

CHARTER COSTS MONEY
Probably $40, 900 Needed to Cover the
Expenses of II

When the publication of the proposed
new city charter Is completed in two pa
pers, as required by law, the cost Of the
proceedings up to that point will have
been nearly $500. only $s07 Of which was ex-
pended in the actual framing Of the docu-
ment by the board of freeholders. Then
comes the voting on 1t. entailing very
small expense, however, In consequence Of
its coming at a time when II can be held
in connection with the regular election. If
it carries, however, quite an expense must
be incurred to publish 1t in pamphlet form.
Altogether. 1t is fairly safe TO estimate
that Los Angeles must pay very close to
80 900 for her new constitution and fully
of this sum. even If the
voters refuse to accept 1t. There Is really
no fund at councils disposal to meet this
expense with. A part of 1t can be taken
from the election fund and a part from the
general fund, but some allowance is bound
to be strained by 1t, as In the annual esti-
mate only $500 was provided for the entire
charter cost

the conf1agration might prove serious. In

is believed that an exposed electric wire is
responsible for the damage, which could
not be estimated last night but which
must have been considerable, as the WIN
dow was filled with costly fabrics. The
two alarms caused some confusion, as the
department for awhile was under the i'm
preston that there were two fires.
