FAVOR CHANGE IN
FIRE DEPARTMENT
TWO BATTALION CHIEFS ARE
RECOMMENDED
EQUIPMENT FOR NEW HOUSES
Finance Committee of the Council De-
cides Upon Increasing Efficiency
of Protection Against
Conflagration
EQUIPMENT FOR NEW HOUSES

The finance committee of the council
will recommend to the city's Legislative
body Monday that an ordinance be at
once adopted creating the positions OF
two battalion chiefs in the fire de-
partment, to command battalions OF
districts allotted to them by Chief
| Lips.
The chief has been working on this
scheme for some time and believes that
it will be a great benefit to the depart
ment. He points to the fact that other
geles, have many more officers in the
department than the local department
has, that there are several assistant
chiefs and from two to ten battalion
chiefs. The members of the finance
committee agree with him in that it
would serve to make the department
more efficient and thus safeguard the
property in the city.
The finance committee will also re-
commend to the council that three
third-size fore engines, six combina-
ton chemical engines and hose carts
and 10000 feet of fire hose be pur-
chased for the use of the department
The apparatus is needed for the OPEN
ing of the new engine houses, which,
will be ready for companies in the near
future, and part of it is to be used in
replacing worn out apparatus.
The civil service commission held an
examination for the positions of lieu
tenant in the fire department last Sat
urday. There will be seventeen such
officers appointed the first of July, and
over sixty firemen took the examina-
ton. All hosemen and drivers, who had
been in the department more than two
years, We're eligible to the eXamina-
ton.
Six months from the present time,
another examination is to be held for
the office of captain in the department.
and all those who are successful in the
present examination will be eligible to
the second one for the higher office.

IS NOW Up To
CITY ATTORNEY
STREET DEPARTMENT TANGLE
IN HIS HANDS
WHOLE QUESTION REFERRED
His Decision Expected to Determine
the Real Value of Civil Ser
VICE in City Depart
ments
WHOLE QUESTION REFERRED


The street department tangle is now
up to the city attorney. When the
salary demands of Former Chief De-
putty Roy McKeon and Inspector
Emery Green went before the finance
committee of the council yesterday
afternoon it was decided to refer the
whole question to the city attorneys
office and let him wrestle with it. These
two men claim they We're illegally
ousted from their positions and feel
that they should be reinstated.
Some time ago the council, at the
request of Street Superintendent Han
ley, adopted an ordinance abolishing
the position of chief deputy and three
inspectorships. The council understood
that their action would merely decrease
the force in the street department Of
ice and thus considerable of the city's
money would be saved. The same or
dinance raised a number of salaries
in the department, however, and the
saving was not so great as was at
first thought
1t was then brought to the notice Of
the council that they had virtually dis
charged four men who We're working
under the protection of the civil service
law, and had done so without any con-
ference with the commission. The
week after the adoption Of the ordi-
nance discharging these men, the coun
Gil rescnded it's action and recreated
the positions which had been abolished.
At the same time, resolutions were
passed apologizing to the civil service
commission for their former action and
explaining the misunderstanding un-
der which they had been laboring.
HanIey Refuses to Reappoint
The ordinance became q law, but
Superintendent Eanley refused abso-
lutely to reappoint the men or allow
them to go to work again in the office.
They carried their cases to the civil
service commission and they are still
under discussion there.
Street Superintendent Hanley de-
ciares that he intends to run his office
and be there on time to sign all docu-
ments, but the commission fears that
he may find it necessary to be away
from the city or be so i'll that he could
not attend to business. Then the de-
partment would be without a head.
City officials, and especially those
who are working under civil service.
are following this case with particular
interest, as the result of the city at
torney's decision will be far reaching
and will give valuable pointer on the
real value of civil service and whether
1t affords any protection to city em-
pioyes

HUMANE SOCIETY WANTS
UERVAIS CASE REOPENED
crlticise Humane Officer for the Light
Punishment inflicted, and Ask
Further Prosecution

At a special meeting of the board of
directors of the Los Angeles Humane
society held yesterday afternoon a res
olution was passed criticising what is
termed "the summary ending and light
punishment" meted out to William
Gervais, charged with beating his g.
year-old sister in a brutal manner a
few days ago. The resolutions also
pledge their assistance to the district
attorney in his efforts to reopen the
case and further prosecute Gervais.
The humane officer is also criticised
for the light fine imposed upon Ger
vais, and it is because the society feels
that he has been inadequately punished
for the offense that they will attempt
to secure further prosecution of the
case.

FIRST LICENSE
UNDER NEW LAW
NEW MARRIAGE STATUTE NOW
OPERATIVE
COUPLES BECOMING SCARCER
Clarence c. MettIer and Miss Annie
E. Brown Received the First
Permit to Marry Under
New system
COUPLES BECOMING scARcER

Accompanied by her sweetheart and
backed by the presence Of her mother,
Miss Annie E. Brown, a beautiful Los
Angeles girl, appeared at the marriage
license office yesterday morning and
bore the distinction Of being the first
woman to appear under the new mar
riage certificate law.
A number of spectators took posi-
ton In the county clerks office early
yesterday morning to await the first
couple to appear for marriage license
They were disappointed in their hopes,
for none appeared and the court house
attaches were compelled to go to their
work. AS the day progressed, the clerks
looked at one another in fear, lest the
first day of the new law pass without
the appearance Of a single candidate.
WheST Clarence G. Mettler arrived at
the office, accompanied by Miss Brown,
the clerks were ready to receive them
with open arms. The young couple
looked unusually happy and one of the
clerks remarked that If all the young
women who appeared for licenses fol-
lowed the standard set by Miss Brown,
nothing but pleasant times would re-
suit.
What nearly resulted in the issuance
Of a second license occurred shortly
before noon yesterday, when q young
man hurried into the county clerks
Office and asked for marriage
license.
Just One Day Late
you're ore day late" said the clerk,
and the young man sidled up to the
counter and in most winning voice
said:
"Say, mister, couldn't you stretch It
just little and let me in without the
girl, she's SO perky about being grinned
at that I don't suppose she'll come up
here
When the young man was assured
that he was just too late, he left the
office muttering that he might get the
girl to come, but it would take a sight
of arguing.
Another candidate appeared after
noon, but upon entering the door and
looking at the sign hung above the
clerks desk, which announced that the
hour Of grace was over, he turned and
fled without making an attempt at
working the clerks.
In comparison with the two score
licenses issued Tuesday only two were
granted yesterday, and unless the law
is modified or the girls become less
bashful, the marriage market may go to
the wall.
Up to the present time the issuance
Of marriage licenses for this year has
been far in advance Of those issued
last year. For the entire year of 1904
$500 licenses were issued in Los Angeles
county. Up to the present time this
year 1900 licenses have been issued.
