NEW LAMPS FAIL TO GIVE
SATISFACTION
INVESTIGATION TO BE ASKED
Councilman Garner Will Demand Ex-
animation of Service Rendered
by San Bernardno Gas and
Electric Company
INVESTIGATION TO BE ASKED
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, June 6.-It is
probable that at an early date an in
vestigation Of the city's street lights
will be asked for by Councilman r. F.
Garner, as he publicly intimated in the
meeting of the city council last night.
Some months ago the San Bernar-
dino Gas and Electric company, which
has the contract for changing the
street lights in this city, replaced the
old lamps, which had been very salts
factory, with a new style of lamp.
The new lamps have been unsatisfac-
tory to many people, as 1t is alleged
they do not furnish nearly the candle
power that the old ones gave.
Councilman Garner wants the lamps
tested with a view of ascertaining
whether they are giving all the light
that is called for by the city's con-
tract.
The water commission has unearthed
matter in connection with the recent
extension of the citys water system
under contract, which is creating con-
siderable interest. 1t has found that
four blocks of six inch main in Mount
Vernon avenue, which was supposed to
have been taken up and replaced by
ten inch plank, has never been touched,
though the city engineer reported that
the contract had been completed, and
the work was accepted by the old
board of city trustees. Now the
water commission must have the work
done and the city must pay for the
work a second time.
The contract for the coming years
supply of oil for street oiling has been
awarded to C. E. Lapp of Los Angeles
for sixty-seven cents per barrel, a saw
ing Of more than thirty cents per bar
rel over that paid for oil last year.
The squabble in the fire depart
ment has been finally disposed of, so
far as the city council is concerned,
by the confirmation of all the officers
nominated by the members of the fire
department except the driver of the
hose wagon, the council refusing to
re-electing AL Glatz, the present driv-
er. This is expected to cause some
designations in the department
There is to be a baseball game on
Saturday, June "a, between the mar
ried and single men, for the benefit
the ladies' club house, the entire gate
receipts going for that purpose.
John Mckenzie, who has been en-
ployed at the Santa Fe shops in this
city, ran amuck of the law by going
home and beating his wife, after he
had drawn all his money from the
bank and was preparing to skip the
town and desert his wife and two chill
dren. He was held by the court in
the sum of 5000 bail, which was fur
nished.

SAN FRANCISCO
RECEPTION TONIGHT
r. p. DooIan, Chairman Of the Joint
Committee, Is In Town Exc
nlnltinn the Affair

r. p. Dooan, chairman of the Joint
committee on arrangements for North
ern California in the entertainment of
the Knights Of Columbus who go from
Los Angeles to San Francisco, arrived
in the city last night
Good press agent that he is he hur-
ried from the train to the newspaper
offices and divulged the terrible secrets
within him, which are, in effect, that
San Francisco is going to entertain the
knights and the local guests who have
received invitations at the most gorge
Gus, effulgent and resplendent function
ever pulled off in the Angel city. He
said;
"I want to make particular mention
of the fact that THE event fthe con-
vention week Is coming off tomorrow
night at the Lankershim, when San
Francisco will show Los Angeles some
things in the way of entertaining. We
do not want to make Los Angeles feel
small, but we do want to show her that
she Is outclassed when put in competi-
tion with a real, metropolitan, cosmo-
politan, up-to-date- wide-open, enter
prising, get-up-andget, flrst-class city.
1.-The reception tomorrow night is go
ing to be the big doings of the week
and we will entertain the 5000 guests
in a manner that will put them into
somnolency for period indefinite,
owing to the amount of nerve brought
west with them.
ut will be a foretaste of what will
happen when we get the knights on our
own reservation next week, when we
propose to show them that the little
picnic they are now having down here
was a mere preliminary to the real
article at San Francisco"
When asked if he wasn't putting it
up to the Angeleno little strong he
said: "Just tack my name to the bot
tom and let 'er go. I'll stand for it."
From all of which 1t is to be inferred
that the reception at the Lankershim
tonight will be a genuine grown-up
folks affair Better put out the lights
at home and lock the door. for the
San Francisco gang is in town and the
stock of nerve they are displaying leads
to apprehension that it might be good
idea to increase the police force for a
few days.
