KEEP OUT OF POLITICS
Fire Board Throws Out a Gentle Hint
to Department EMPLOYEES


Fire Chief Walter Moore is under special
instructions to enforce rule of the rules
and regulations which govern the city
fire department. 1t requires that members
Of the department shall refrain from TAX
Ing any part whatever in politics, and reads
as follows:
Rule 5. No permanent member of the
fire department shall be a delegate, in
person or by proxy. to, or member Of
any political or partisan convention,
state central committee, or county or
city committee, nor while a member
shall be a candidate for any political
Office.
Fire Commissioner Wells brought the
matter to the attention of the board at yes
terday's meeting, and a motion prevailed
that the chief should be instructed to see
that the rule is rigidly enforced 1t does
not go down very pleasantly with some
members of the department, their argu-
ment against 1t being that they should be
allowed to work for their own interests as
well as city officials and members of other
departments, at least until such time as
protection is afforded them by the passage
of civil service rules.
On the other hand, the claim is pre-
sented that change Of administration re-
suits in very few changes In the general
department and causes less decentralization
than would the participation in politics of
the members. Chief Moore has given the
department due notification of his instruc-
ton,

Show That This Year Is Running Be.
hind Last Thus Far

Up to the present time 1898 has not come
up to 1897 in the point of building construc-
tion In Los Angeles by $225, 1874. This fact is
shown by the records of Building Superin-
tendent Stratton, whose comparative state
ment of the amounts expended In the last
nine months and the corresponding months
of 1897 is given below:

It will be seen that for the first three
months of this year the amount of build
ing exceeded that of the same three months
of last year. The reverse is true Of the
next three months, while in July and Au-
gust the comparison is again in favor of
1898. But in September. 1898 falls down in
the comparison to the tune Of $S6,OOO
Builders attribute this variation to the

PROSPECTS OF ITS ULTIMATELY

A LINK NOW BEING BUILT
What q Salt Lake Resident Thinks of
the Project-The Men Back Of
the Scheme

Edward G. WINS, city editor of the Salt
Lake Herald, is visiting Los Angeles for
the first time, and is a guest at the Van
Nuys. Like all Salt Lakers. he is interest
ed in the projected road from that city to
Los Angeles and believes that the build
ing of the line from Milford west insures
the success Of the Los Angeles project.
On this subject he said to The Herald
yesterday:
practically, work actually commenced
on the Utah and Pacific some time ago, and
the arrangements are so perfect that II
will be pushed as rapidly as good construc-
ton will permit. 1t will certainly be built
and in operation by August 16 of next year
as that Is the contract time, and it may be
shortened little.
From Milford Southwest
1.-THE plan contemplates the construction
OF only about eighty miles Of road, from
Milford southwest to the Nevada line, and
that will be completed without reference
