COMMISSION MAY SELL
TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER
No Legal Impediment Seems to Be IN
Way of Plan Proposed for Dis.
position OF Liquor Licenses

Attorneys who have been consulted
by the police commissioners in reference
to the right of the commission to sell
liouor licenses to the highest bidder
have expressed the opinion that there
seems to be no legal reason why this
should not be done.
The committee appointed a week ago
to make a study of this phase of the
LIQUOR situation is expected to report
at the next meeting of the commission.
Meantime the saloon men are having
the time of their lives trying to figure
out what the commission is going to
do to them next.
Tax Collector Johnson's report for
February, which has been filed with
the city clerk, shows that nine res
taurants that formerly served liquor
have gone out of business. The loss
in revenue to the city is represented by
$50 per month for each license that Is
no longer in force.
The order in regard to fortune tell
ers, palmists and their like, is being
carried vigorously into effect and in
consequence 1t is reported that nine
of these persons have found business
so improbable that they have re-
moved their canvas covered shacks
from the streets. -.et-s

A STRIKING CONTRAST

feature of yesterdays news from New York recalls
the old saying that "onehaf the world knows how
the other half lives" An incident is related that
very strange from the viewpoint Of Southern California
particularly Of Los Angeles.
It seems that March came in like Hon in the big
city. Whether It will "go out like lamb" is immaterial
now There snowstorm with the usual accom-
panlment of discomfort An advertisement appeared in
Of the newspapers calling for fifty men shovel
day, the wage offered being 50. More than
300 responded to the advertisement before daylight
and later there such mob Of applicants fighting
among themselves for chances to get the 50 job that
the police reserves had to be called out to maintain
order.
Consider for a moment the conditions that lead to
such scramble for the chance of earning bare s2
Think of the homes of those men to whom the pary
wage important.
The average home of hundreds of thousands of poor
people in the great metropolis is wretched at best but
when the bread winner of the family is out of employ
ment the condition is truly pitisble. The unsanitary
situation causes sickness with its attendant misery
Poverty sickness and suffering miserable substitute
for home and the head of the family at daylight strug
Cling among hundreds of others Of his kind for the
chance to the price of bread.
How little conception Of the sunshine land have
of average life in cities abroad Favored by climate
which practically eliminates suffering from weather
ditions escape chief element Of misery in most
cities
Such a scene as the above described in New
York is not possible here There is for to
struggle with another for the opportunity to
bread money in the least prosperous times known
this community heads of families always have been
able to keep the wolf from the door" at home
It is only when get such glimpses of real life
are afforded by that in New York that realize
how wonderfully favored in Southern California
Only the here have full appreciation of the
good fortune enjoyed by the people of this section Even
those of us who hail from eastern cities forget
the drawbacks peculiar to life in the old homes and
thus fail appreciate fully the happy lot enjoyed here
If there is any spot earth conducive to perfect
contentment it is this land of sunshine where flowers
bloom perennaly and where the birds sing day in
the year.

LOWER TAX RATE, PERHAPS

The city assessor is not always welcome guest in
the of property but the local
now is saying pleasing things to the taxpayers
of Los Angeles.
He tells them. for instance that there is prospect
of considerable reduction in the tax rate for the pres
ent year Such reduction will be made possible by the
the assessabe value of property in the city has
increased about $25OOOOOO within the past year The
tax yield that amount would be $3.50 900 The city
expenses have not increased than half that figure
within the year. and hence there prospective surplus
of at least s150000
There are plenty OF municipal sponges hand where
with to sop up that surplus and much 1t
available. But the mayor insists that his admin
straon shall be economical throughout is
consistent with efficient service and hence he is under
stood as favorng reduction of the tax rate to the
tent of the expected surplus.
The rate for the last two years has been $1.40
on the 800 OF assessed valuation 1t is inmated that
the rate may be reduced to $l2S within the old city
limits, with some variation in the newer districts
The city's financial situation, therefore, is quite
gratifying to all taxpayers 1t is certainly very
municipal experience and 1t may be entirely unique for
a tax budget to yield than is needed be-
cause of such extraordinary OF property values
as the $25 100000 shown by single year in this city.
But Los Angeles itself is unique among cities.

FAULTY ORANGE HANDLING

pomoogst of the federal department of agriculture
who has just completed investigation of the orange
industry in this section makes rather surprising
disclosures
The substance of his report is that the work of
orange growers in preparing the fruit for market is
generally very crude For instance in the matter of
picking oranges says that after looking large
of fruit it is received in the packing houses
of Southern California is safe say that
of one in every FIVE or six oranges has had the skin
either badly cut slightly cut by the clippers"
One in five oranges thus nipped by the clippers,
result of carelessness 90 per of the crop
equal 5000 carloads of total of 25 600 In noting
the result of this injury to the fruit the pomoogist says
such oranges not all decay, "but the injury makes
them particularly susceptible to rot from blue mold
if the conditions favorable any time its
velopment'
AS example of possibilities of that kind he de-
clares that lin experiments much 40 per cent
of the fruit has developed decay under ordinary
conditions while uniniured fruit under similar conditions
has shown less than 1 per cent of decay"
The general conclusion of the expert is that i'm
proper handling of in preparation for marketing
accountable for very large percentage of the ultimate
He states that his department in it's fruit storage
Investigations has found that large proportion
the in cold is the direct result of the
bad handling of the fruit before it the
house" Several other points indicating the results of
careessness alluded to- followed by valuable
tions for correcting the mistakes
The orange industry in California is quite new, COM
paratvey, and it is not strange that the methods in
handling so perishable fruit should be less
crude. In both the and wine industries the
producers of this handicapped some extent
by competitors abroad who have the experience of their
countries for hundreds of years guide them Cafor
mia orange and grape growers acquiring valuable
knowledge every year by experience and such backses
as now are noted will be overcome.

PROPERTY OWNERS WANT
EAST NINTH IMPROVED
Asphalt Pavement Is Proposed From
Central Avenue to Santa
Fe Avenue

A petition signed by what appears
to be large majority of the property
owners on both sides of East Ninth
street between Central and Santa Fe
avenues was presented to the board OF
public works yesterday. The petition
ers ask that East Ninth street be
given an asphalt covering between the
two avenues.
The distance between the two points
named is thirteen blocks. The petit
TONERS ask that granite blocks be used
in the construction of the cutters.
The petition was referred to the city
engineer for verification of frontage.
The frontage represented on the petit
tion is 5764 feet.
The part of East Ninth street which
it is proposed to improve has dou-
BILE track street railroad and a number
of general stores carrying heavy stocks
are located there. In the part nearest
Santa Fe avenue are located number
of warehouses. Petitioners ask that
the work be done under the bond act.
The request of property owners on
Kearney street between Echandia and
Pleasant avenue, for the aban-
donment of portion Of the
street, was granted. 1t appears
that u recent survey indicated that
the curb line was eighteen feet nearer
the center of the street than the orig
inal survey MIA ced IT,
The petitioners state that they be-
lieved the original location of curb
lines was correct and accordingly
erected some expensive buildings which
the new survey will place in the street.
The board will recommend that the
street be reduced in width from sixty
to fifty feet.
The question of changing the grade
of Elgin street between Avenues Ga and
65, as petitioned for by Sarah T. Lind
sey and others, was left to the discre-
tion of the city engineerr. 1t is pro-
posed to make a change in the grade
which appears to be needed, in such a
way that the shade trees along the
curb line will not be rnolested.
The settlement of the question in
volved in the improvement of Euclid
avenue, where the life of some shade
trees is also involved was postponed
another week in order to give the
board an opportunity to make an in
spection of the proposed work.
