GRANTED PARTS OF STREETS
Board of Works Has Asked for Deed
in Escrow Before Abandoning
Citv Property

After months of persistent endeayor
the Llewellyn from Works has succeeded
in procuring from the city the right to
use portions Of Railroad and Magdalena
streets.
While the board of public works has
expressed a Willingness to recommend
to the council the beginning of aban-
donment proceedings, it has safeguarded
the city's interests in way that the
council has never thought Of doing
Before the final ordinance of aban-
donment is published the Llewellyn
company will be required to give a deed
in escrow, the same to be recorded, IN
order that the property may revert 70
the city should there ever be necessity
for the reopening of the thoroughfares'
When street is abandoned ordin-
arily the property comes into the pos
session of the owners of the frontage on
each side of 1t. The Llewellyn company
was blocked in it's efforts to use the
land two months ago by the j. ID. Hook
er company, a rival concern. Since that
time the Llewellyns have added to their
holdings, and no protest against the
proceedings is expected.

PLAN TO IMPROVE
FIRST STREET BRIDGE
ENGINEER SAYS WADUCT is IN
BAD SHAPE o
Los Angeles Railway Will Be Asked
to Cooperate With City and Salt
Lake Will Have to Repair Damage
Done by That RaiIraod

Plans are being materialized by the
board of public works which will mean
the Improvement and repair of the First
street bridge across the Los Angeles
river. The viaduct at the present time,
according to City Engineer Homer
Hamlin, is far from being in first-class
condition. The Los Angeles Railway
company will be asked to cooperate
with the city.
The suggestion which Mr.. Hamlin has
made to the board Is that a concrete
pier be constructed near the west ap-
proach to the bridge and a dirt fill OF
twenty feet be made. This, says Mr..
Hamlin, should be paved with asphalt,
thus doing away with the poor condi-
tions which result after almost every
rain Of any consequence. The improve
ment will cost approximately $527, of
which the railway company will be
asked to contribute $24O.
The Salt Lake Railway company is
held responsible for some minor inju-
ries to the bridge, which it will be asked
to repair, and attention is drawn to the
fact that no good is being done to the
structure by permitting the telephone
and telegraph companies to tear up the
flooring in making repairs on their con-
duits.

TESTS WHILE SUFFERING
Old Soldier Shows Spartan Fortitude
While Cash Above Eye Is Being
SeWed by Surgeon

An old soldier, giving his name as
Thomas Mullin, was taken to the re-
ceving hospital yesterday afternoon
suffering from severe cash across
his left eye.
He could give no explanation for the
accident, as he was in an unconscious
condition when taken to the hospital,
but the policeman who found him said
that he had evidently fallen on the
pavement as he crossed the street.
The old fellow showed great pluck
when the surgeons were sewing up the
cash and demonstrated his Irish blood,
as well as the fact that he had be-
come impervious to pain through his
campaign in the Civil war At
particularly painful period of the oper-
alton. when tns surgeon was drawing
OF the cut, the gritty old fellow looked
up and said "Well, you are quite a
seamstress, doc.

ALL SHY AT HOSPITAL

1t developed yesterday that the de-
tention hospital is larger white ele-
phant on the city's hands than it has
been anticipated. No one, it appears,
desires to accept the responsibility for
the conditions which the health board
asserts 1t has found there.
The board OF public works does not
know where 1t stands, but the health
commissioners have said decisively that
they will have none of it until the
buildings are furnished and equipped
ready for the reception and treatment
of patients.
ION the recommendation of John Q.
Austin, superintendent of construction,
we ordered the last installment on the
purchase price paid" said j. A. Ander-
son, president of the board, yesterday.
ITO tell the truth the board does not
know where 1t stands. 1t had nothing
to do with the letting of the contract
for the buildings 1t is not prepared to
say whose duty II is to provide the
equipment, which is not named in the
contract. We desire time to investi-
gate"

MAKE PROTEST AGAINST MILL
Property Owners Of Marmion Way
Say PIaner Damages Property
Values

Property owners in the vicinity of
Marmion Way and Avenue Fifty-six
have registered strenuous protest
against the operation of the A. H.
Hess planning mill at the intersection
of the two thoroughfares. They say
the location of the mill in what is
residence district has resulted in a
damage to property values; that it is
menace to neighboring property and
a nuisance which should be abated.
The fire board as a committee Of
the whole will make an investigation
of the complaint and take action at
its next session.
The application of c. e. Richardson
for a steam boiler and electric motor
for laundry at S1S South San Pedro
street has also been held in allegiance
by the board for one week in order
to give interested property owners an
opportunity to conduct an investiga-
tion.

LIPS RETURNS
RETGRT CAUST|C
SAYS PEOPLE VOTED AGAINST
FIRE PROTECTION
Chief Testify Replies to Representa-
tive of East Side Improvement
Assool alton Who Seeks Bet
ter Protection

Walter Lips scored the East Side I'M
provement association yesterday when
a representative of that organization
came before the fire board to ask for an
increase in the fire protection of the
First ward.
IT don't know where you are going to
get it." said Chief Lips. THE fire
board came before the people early in
the spring with a proposal to issue
bonds and place the department on q
par with what 1t should be in city of
this size. The people Of every ward
voted the proposal down. Now you
come to us and ask us for increased
fire protection. 1 would like to have
you tell us where the money is coming
from.
"Our expenses are now running in ex
cess of our monthly appropriation. If
we purchase the new fire hose that is
needed we shall end the year in debt. "
A. w. Foreman, representative of the
association, asked that either another
horse be added to the equipment of
station No. /, Avenue Nineteen and
Pasadena avenue, to pull the engine
up the long hill or else purchase new
site that will be out of the river bot
tom.
Chief Lips said the former request
would be complied with if the associa-
tion would furnish the money. If the
bond issue had carried he said, 1t was
the intention of the fire board to have
given the district new station, as it
was manifest that the present one is
altogether too small.
Commissioner Anthony Schwamm,
who lives in the First ward, and loves
1t, saved the day by putting through a
motion that the chief should report at
the next meeting how the purchase Of
an additional engine house might be
possible.

RLEFUSE TO PAY SALARY
AFTER FIREMAN Is HURT

Capt. C. S. jenkins Of the fire de-
partment, who was injured in a street
railway accident while in the perform
ance Of his duty and who asked that
the city pay him his salary for the
thirty days that he was not on duty,
saw his request turned down by the
fire board yesterday
The board conducted an investiga-
ton and found that so far as Jenkins
finances alone were concerned he prof
tied by being hurt. The street rail-
way company paid him 1862, according
to the report submitted, to dismiss his
claims. Out of this he was required
to pay $120 doctors bills, leaving him
$242, an amount in excess of his salary
for similar period.

FIREMAN GIVEN A VACATION.
William seherer's illness ls Believed
to Have Been Caused by
Exnoeure

THE fireman's relief fund as created
by the state IS not an institution for
the payment OF sick benefits TO em-
ployes Of the Los Angeles fire de-
partment When fireman is injured
in the performance Of his duty he Is
entitled to assistance but we ought to
go slow on sickness where the cause
is not fully traceable to exposure IN
fighting fires" This assertion made
by Commissioner Anthony Schwamm
prevented the fire board yesterday
from granting a pension to Lieutenant
William Samuel Scherer. Instead he
was given a three months leave Of
absence on half pay, Mr.. Schwamm
consenting to this, as he believes that
there Is a possibility that Scherer's
sickness was caused by exposure to
fire, water and smoke In the fire which
destroyed the Pacific Planning mill
July Z.
scherer offered no protest to the
action of the board, although the city
attorneys office had passed upon the
affidavlts which he furnished and
gave as an opinion that according to
them he was entitled to a pension.

These qualities will be enhanced

companies OF the Fire Depart
ment, at regular meeting last
evening, took steps to place the
Department on a solid footing
The fireman feel that the town
owes them something tor their
services, and to this end appeal
to the town to give them neces-
sary relief. In the event of re-
fusal, which is improbable, the
Department will turn over all OF
its para phernalia and let town
take charge of the fire fighting.
A committee was appointed, CON
sisting of two members from FIVE

SCATTER THE HOGS.

1t is better for many reasons that
the hogs be scattered about the
farms. There is now being prac
ticed not only at the experiment
stations, but also on many of the
farms where large numbers of hogs
are being raised. 1t greatly les
sens the possibility Of hog cholera
gaining a foothold, and limits its
spread if it does. Small tent-shaped
houses are now becoming popu-
lar for housing hogs so distributed.
These houses have floors in some
cases, but not in others. A floor
that can be removed at pleasure is
best. 1t requires more labor to
care for hogs when scattered about,
but the extra labor is more than
compensated for by the greater
freedom of the animals from the
disease and the greater cleanliness
possible on the farm. Money is
not made out of sick hogs. but out
of healthy ones.

you will notice the vast diff
ference as also you will note the
difference in flavor.
The last, but by no means the
least are also parent and child.
The small one is the Famous
ROCKFORD. The next, a size
larger, is the result of cross
with the New Orleans Market
which is another famous melon.
Note the difference. The Rocky
ford Cor rather Burfee's Melted
Gun, for that is that melons orr
ginal name) is too well known for
comment.
Burfee's Melted Gun or
'Rockyford" is the variety that
has made Colorado celebrated for
its luscious melons. claiming that
the Rockyford district is the
only place to raise them but that
is erroneous as these samples
will show. They are raised as well
on Iberia soil as on ROCKFORD
soil or any other soil. For it re-
quires a southern sun to bring
the seed to perfection, which is
the prerequisite to all plant life.
AS the two melons described
are the offsprings of my scienti-
fic labors, l claim the right in
naming them. The largest will
be booked as THE Pride of Ibe-
ria," the next hybrid will be
known as THE Perfect Gem"
