At a joint meeting of the board of
water commissioners and the water
supply committee of the city council,
held last evening, the entire Owens

After the session it was announced
that perfect harmony had prevailed and

and the city council to continue in har-
mony. The board was informally au-
thorized to continue the work of taxi

and two others were for sidewalks

final checking the copyists discovered

the city clerk. All three were bids
that had been submitted by Contractor
McCray. The other two did not come

FIRE LAWS MAY BE
MADE MORE STRINGENT
WASHINGTON EXPERT cRITIcIsEs
PRESENT POLICY
Report of International Society Of
State and Municipal Building In
spectors Will Be Presented to
Council by Mayor McAIeer

Through a recommendation of the
international society of state and mu-
nicipal building commissioners and in
spectors, the fire limits and building
laws of Los Angeles may be made more
stringent. Next Monday Mayor McAleer
will present the recommendations of the
society to the city council for action.
The communication to the mayor is
signed F. w. Fitzpatrick, secretary
treasurer of the society, with head
quarters at Washington, d. c., and in
the paper some appalling fire statistics
are quoted. Mr.. Fitzpatrick explains
that most Of these fire losses can be
directly traced to improper construc-
tion of buildings and states that the
society is doing all in its power to
patrick says:
your city has contributed it's heavy
percentage toward our awful fire losses
that have reached the appalling figures
$3.50, 100000 a year. Drastic measures
have to be taken, the people have to
be compelled to build better, for 1t is
certain that most of them will only
build as well as the laws force them
to, the deplorable tendency being to
huild as poorly as insurance rates will
permit-such is our national hot-footed-
ness after the immediate dollar. our
ruthless disregard for all else and our
short sightedness as to what our ssi
fish acts must needs entail upon pos
terity, our neighbors, our cities.
Fire limits should be extended with
in which nothing but really fire proof
buildings should be permitted, no slow
burning mill construction or other
makeshifts or experimental systems al
lowed; open stair and elevator wells
should be prohibited, fire escapes and
fire fighting appliances insisted upon;
wide span floors of questionable and
often collapseable construction, though
termed fire proof, should be discour-
aged, the most stringent building
regulations should be devised, and
the building department so or
ennized and upheld that those wise
rules will be enforced in spite of po-
litical and personal efforts to secure
exemption

GRADING BID ALTERED;
CONTRACTOR IN TROUBLE
CITY ATTORNEY Is ASKED TO
INVESTIGATE CASE
s. Mecray Accused of Writing in Fig
ures on Certain Project After the
Papers Were in the Hands of
Clerk Lelande

Contractor s. McCray, who does a
large amount of city work, is in
trouble with the city government, and
the city attorney will be asked to take
action on his case. He is alleged to
have altered his bid on some street
work, after having submitted it to the
council and before it reached the
board Of public works for final action.
At meeting of the board Of public
works yesterday the discrepancy was
noticed and the recommendation will
be made to the council Monday that
the city attorney act upon the ques-
tion.
The alleged Justification is on bid
submitted for the improvement Of Sec
ond street from DAWN & Julian's sub
division to Fresno street. All bids for
street work are made on the basis of
square feet for grading, linear feet for
curbing and a lump sum for culverts.
Three bids were opened at its meeting
last Monday for the Second street work
and referred to the board of public
works to let the contract. These bid
ders and the amounts Of the bids were:
Cummings & Drain, $96S7.7O; e. FL.
Smelling, $10,2S0. go; S. McCray, $S315.SO.
The great difference in the bids was
due to the fact that Mr.. McCray had
not named a lump sum for the con-
struction of the culverts and left blank
space In which this amount should
have been named.
All bids were turned over to the city
clerk and after he had taken them to
his office, Mr.. McCray asked to be al
lowed to see his bid When the docu-
ment was handed to him, 1t is seid
he wrote In the sum $1,000, thereby
making his total price $172.40 lower than
Cummings & Drain, next highest bid
ders. and practically assuring that the
contract would be awarded to him IL
the alteration was not discovered.
When the figures were read by Chair
man Kern of the board Of public
works, Mr.. McCray asked that his bid
be withdrawn and explained to the
board that through clerical error the
culvert price had been omitted from
the first bid and written in afterward.
He stated that he had acted on the
advice of City Clerk Lelande in asking
that the bid be withdrawn. The board
refused to consider proposition of
this nature as it would necessitate the
rejection Of all bids and readvertise-
ment.
McCray contends that he did not
know he was doing anything wrong
In altering his figures after they had
been submitted, but there is a state
law governing his case.

with outline, shape and form the mere
idea of years beginning.
