city charter provides: The said board

adopted by a majority Of all It's mem

reasonable bylaws, rules and regula-

the exercise OF the powers con-
ferred by this articles provided that
no such rule, bylaw or other act of the
board fixing water rates, or prescribing
the time or manner Of payment thereof,
shall be effective until the same shall
be approved by the city council and
thereafter published for at least three
days in a daily newspaper printed and
published in the city Of Los Angeles

ment that we shall not be supplied
with water because of the Indebtedness
Of former occupant Of a house or
premises, been approved by the city
council and published in a daily news

city clerk are silent

body is respectfully called to section
629, civil code of this state, wherein it
is provided that corporations must

unless the occupant has undertaken to
pay the same.
"This section further provides that If,
for the space of ten days after applica-

PROTEST RULINGS
Of WATER BOARD
CITIZENS PETITION FOR A
REFORM
DEPARTMENT is CRITICISED
Business Men and Property Owners
Protest Against Requirement That
Tenant Is Liable for Prede-
cessor's Water Bill

That municipal ownership of public
utilities may have its drawbacks is
evidenced by the steady stream of petit
tions from business men and property
owners which pour into the council
asking that the water department be
regulated.
The city has recently regulated some
private corporations dealing in public
utilities and yesterday a petition re-
garding the water system, signed by
property owners and business firms,
was filed with the city clerk by r. F.
Crandall and Attorney Robert Tod.
The petition is as follows:
I'VE, as residents and property own
ers of this city, respectfully enter our
protest against the unlawful and OUT
rageous rule of the board of water
commissioners requiring that water
consumers shall pay the indebtedness
of former tenants before they are per-
mitted to become users Of city water.
Under the rule of the water board,
If A does not pay his water bill in adj
vance he is notified early in the month
that upon failure to settle on or before
the twentieth of the month his water
will be turned off. Should A not COM
ply the water is turned off in accord
ance with his notification.
"On the first of the month B, who
becomes the occupant Of the premises
vacated by A, has no water. Upon
making application to the water de-
partment he is informed that the wa
ter will not be turned on till he pays
the amount due by A and also pays the
sum of one dollar as penalty.
K "B learns that A did not pay his gas
bill nor his electric light bill for the
month. Is B compelled to pay these
bills, and also penalties, before he is
permitted to use gas and electricity?
No, the public utility corporations
charge up AS Indebtedness to profit
and loss" and open new account with

A MEMORY OF LEE.
He Had Much Dignity of Bearing
and Beauty of Face.

ne k1H0 NIucn D1gnAty OF nearing
and Beauty of Face.
Soon after the Confederates began to
enter the town EIizabethtown) met a
friend of mine, the son of DR.. Doyle.
who told me that his father had just
been sent for to see Lee and that 1
might go, too, Ii ran as fast as my
small legs could carry me, and we
found the doctor just starting. DR..
Doyle was man who had been in
communication with the enemy from
the beginning Of the war, but had so
far managed to escape the fate of
many innocent men. Two of his sons
had been arrested short time before
and were lying in Jail when their
friends arrived and set them free.
The doctor was in his old gig and,
being an immense man. left no room
for any one else in it, so we two boys
sat on the springs behind 1t was on
the Williamsport pike, about half a
mile from the town, that we met Cen
eral Lee. He had dismounted and was
standing by his horse, a small sorreI
mare, which, was told, 1t was his Gus
tom to ride on the march His staff
was brilliant in gold lace, but he was
very simply dressed. No one could
have seen that man without being
greatly impressed with the dignity of
his bearing and the beauty of his face.
His hair at this time was almost en-
tirely white, and those who had seen
him the year before said he had aged
greatly in the short space of time which
had elapsed since the battle of Ante
tam. I could not help thinking of
Washington as l looked at that calm,
sad face. 1t has been said since by
those who were near him that he had
no expectation of conquering the north
and that at the most he only hoped to
win a great battle on northern soil In
order to affect public opinion in Europe
and lead to the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy. However that
may be, there was nothing about his
bearing which looked like great hope.

THE RESouRcEFLL MOLE.
He Gets Away with Ease when You
Think You Have Him.

Ih1nlS You Have Him.
Speaking of quick and resourceful
animals. the mole leads easily so far as
my experience goes, said a man from
the country, and dare say there are
many men who have made observa-
tons that will confirm my contention.
AS you probably know, the mole plows
in the surface of the earth, generally
making a small ridge anywhere from
two to three inches high. He moves
with remarkable rapidlty even when
the ground in which he is burrowing IS
hard. When operating in soft ground
he moves along at a surprising gait
But this is not the point I wanted to
make. / was thinking of the remarka-
bly, good hearing of the mole and the
ease with which be can get away just
at the moment when you think you
have him cornered. OF course now and
then you can drive spike through the
mole before he is aware of 1t. Ii you
do you will have to walk as light as a
cat and will have to act as quickly as
the same animal when the time comes
to act. In nine cases out of ten the
mole will hear the first football At
once he will quit plowing He is gone.
Search as you may. you cannot find
him. / have seen men dig for fifty
yards, following the ridge and its off
shoots, without finding any other trace
Of the mole than the ridge. The mole's
hearing is peculiarly keen, and I sup
pose this is SO because he cannot see.
But even more wonderful from my
standpoint Is the ease and quickness
with which he gets away. How does he
manage it? Where does he go2 You
know, the element Of superstition in
my makeup is slim, and don't believe
in ghosts, but somehow have always
inclined just bit to the ghost theory
when thinking Of the mysterious antics
Of these blind burrowers. The mole is
more like ghost Ia his conduct than
anything I have ever known, though,
of course, the mole is real and not an
imaginary and mythical thing New
