CIVIL SERVICE RETARDS
THE CITY ENGINEER
Commissions Supply Of Good Men ls
Exhausted and Emergency APP
nninfrnents Are Authorized

pointments Are Authorized
city Engineer Stafford reported to the
council yesterday that he is unable to
get enough men from the civil service
commission to supply the positions in
his department, as there is no eliglbles.
The commission refuses to certify to
appointments made by the city engineer,
so that public work is being held uo.
The council adopted a resolution giving
Stafford the power to make the neces-
sary emergency appointments.
The city engineer also called attention
to the fact that, owing to the low aver
age of salaries paid in some Of the
positions in his office, he is unable to
get men to fill them and is constantly
losing good men. He asked that the
salary of his office engineer, field en-
gineer and chief draughtsman be in
creased from s6 to 81 day and that the
salaries attached to several other posi-
tions be increased 80 cents a day. The
question was referred to the finance
committee.
Engineer stafford's third request was
for more room. He said that his office
was six months behind with the work
and unless more room outside the city
hall was provided it would be impos-
sible to catch UP. and as he has some
large and important work in hand the
room is badly needed. The question
was referred to the building COM
mittee.

"SC0TTIE" BREAKS RECORD;
RETIRES AT g O'CLOCK
Death Valley Miner Finds Pleasure
In Sleep Rather Than Cham
paqne Drunk

"Scottie" has broken his Los Angeles
record and last night proved a sore
disappointment even to his best
friends. Up until o'clock last night
he was as popular as four aces and a
king in big jack pot and everybody
drawing three cards.
Promptly at that hour he announced
to his friends in the pleasure seeking
business that he was going to bed.
Don't do anything rash," said a
champagne drinking friend who has
helped "Scottie" spend his money in
large quantities since the Creosus re-
turned to Los Angeles.
But "Scottie' was determined. Not
even the opportunity to buy the drinks
for dozen hangers on was able to
deter him from his rashness. He
sought his room at the Hollenbeck, or
dered bottle of champagne as an eye
opener for this morning and went to
bed.
