STARTLING DAIRY REVELATIONS

The startling disclosures made by the health au
thorities concerning the citys milk supply only en-
phasize the repeated inquiry of The Herald What is
a board of health for?"
that the pertinence that question at last
aroused the board to the Importance of going about
among the local dairies a tour of inspection An
automobile outing followed and of the results as
disclosed by members of the board calculated to
startle the community.
One of the health commissioners is reported as
saying after the auto tour of Inspection It is ev-
dent that the city is made the dumping ground for
milk that could not be disposed of anywhere else
do not know where the fault has rested in the past
but do know that the health department and the
board of health are of conditions as they now
exist"
What conditions alluded to? Another member
of the board reported, thus: 1--WE found
dead lying in the corral at place. the stencil
mixers and helpers stood it there The other
COWS were tramping all the carcass" Again:
"At another place found standing in filth and
manure almost knee deep; in the milk rooms there
were no to keep out flies. At two places we
found helpers straining milk through dirty cloths in
which there were handfuls of flies"
This is nauseatng story to print, but the shock
thought it naturally suggests is the reiterated inquiry
The health officers charged with the duty of pro-
tecting the community from such dangerous and re-
voting conditions as the authorities themselves
describe.

FIRST VENTURE IN BUSINESS

One of the most fortunate specula-
tors in the recent Redondo excitement
Is Mrs Clara Morris, saleswoman ir
the cloak department of a we'll
known store on Broadway. Monday
was Mrs. Morris day of" and hear
ing of the big sales that were being
made at the beach decided to take a
flyer in lots herself. She boarded a
car bound for Redondo, looked over the
situation, bought three lots and with
in twenty-four hours disposed Of them
for s21O0 more than she paid for them
Mrs. Morris talks very modestly re-
garding the transaction and yesterday
said "Yes, 1t is true that I made lit
tie money in speculation in lots down
at Redondo last Monday. OF course /
knew of the excitement that was on
at the time and as 1 had a little time
thought that would take advantage
of it.
After carefully looking over the lots
I secured three of the best and at
once set about to sell them. When /
sold them the next day 1 made $2100
by the transaction. 1t was merely
little fortunate speculation and l do
not care to have 1t noised about Many
people have made more money in Re-
dondo property than 1 did-though
think I did quite we'll for one without
any experience in real estate dealings"

SKIMP NOT THE STREET FUNDS

Los Angeles should not vince because the street
superintendent wants $5425S7 for his years expense
account The increase last years figure is only
20 per cent within the year.
There is other department of the city govern
ment that urgently needs improvement funds as
the controlled by the street superintendent Not
withstandng all the effort that has been made to bring
the streets Of Los Angeles up to the modern level seen
in other progressive cities the result is from sat
sfactory.
1t now is the good fortune of Los Angeles to have
street superintendent whose capability is beyond
question and in whose judgment the people have full
confidence. There is no doubt in the public mind that
he will make notable headway during his official term
in improvement work, always provided that the re-
quisite funds available. He should be encouraged
by prompt response to reasonable for expan-
sion Of the service under his management.
1t is folly to point the figures for street care
and improvement that ruled few years ago as signs
of present extravaganza. Any city that is properly
managed requires increase in the official expense
account commensurate with it's general expansion
When city doubles in population, wealth and i'm
proved within half dozen years like increase in
the cost Of it's government must be expected.
Five years hence quite probably the street superin-
tendent will extend his hand and ask for a round
million dollars wherewh to operate his department
for year II the million be used to best advantage
1t will prove to be investment just as half
the sum has been in the past year.

Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-15

refused to discuss the park boards fig
ures yesterday, as they have not as
yet been laid before him, but said:
Departments and city boards are al
ways ready with explanations of why
their particular budget should be grant
ed in full. Each of them is perfectly
willing to have the other fellows al
lowance cut in half, but demands that
his allowance be what he thinks it
should. I will admit the money they
all ask for could probably be used to
great advantage, but the city, even
though 1t is prosperous, can't afford IT,"
