BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
CLASHES WITH COUNCIL
OPINIONS DIFFER ON SOUTHERN
PACIFIC PETITION
City Fathers Favor Donation Of Ground
for Enlargement of Arcade Station.
Closing of Fifth Street Brings the
Question to an Issue

The first clash between the city coun-
ell and the board of public works oc-
Cured yesterday when the council Or
dered filed a portion of the board S
recommendation regarding the closing
of Fifth street between Central avenue
and Alameda street, upon which prop
erty is is said the Southern Pacific
company proposes to extend the Arcade
station.
To those who are on the inside of
the action on the part of the council
men it indicates that the recommended
ton, of the board of public works does
not meet with the approval of the
councilmen.
In the petition which was sent to the
board of public works the Southern Pa
cific company asked for the property
saying the company wanted to extend
the Arcade station to Central avenue.
The board recommended that the petit
tion be granted provided the Southern
Pacific company would give the city
section of the land vacated equal to
75 per cent of the property.
Overlook Document
When the recommendation of the
board of public works came up before
the city council yesterday the GUS
tomary reading of the document was
overlooked seemingly Intentionally In
other words the councilmen, 1t is said,
did not approve of the boards opinion
and wanted to inform the membehs
thereof that they were devoting en-
tirely too much attention to detail
where the Southern Pacific company
was concerned.
From the action of the city fathers
it is stated that the petition of the
Southern Pacific company will be grant
ed entirely devoid of land donations
by the railroad company. The space
of land that the board suggested the
railroad company donate to the city
was intended as a comfortable WIDEN
ing of the space between the entrance
to the depot and the street car tracks.

grateful to my feelings; and il Is
a pity that more people do not

with prompa decision. Contro-
yersy is d~istasteiul to me and |

Said writer expresses hope

my information and belief that
the law provides for election Of
trustees by the patrons of each
school district; but, in case such
election is not held on a day
stated,-I think it is in June Of
each year,-the county superin-
tendent appoints:-this is &C.

ing, and the number of appoint
ments indicates the great amount
of carelessness or neglect display
ed by the patrons of our schools.
"Parent" does not by any means
overshoOt the mark in his esti-
mate of the importance of having
good trustees.
The second point is ''lhe fire

of education to act on this point

one in which it is to be consider
ed. 1t is not binding on the
board to make a change even in
part, but they must consider the
matter and act as they may deem
best. | do not think that "Pa.

when suggesting that trustees
and teachers get together and
adopt a set OF books.o This would
be contrary 10 Law. Besides it
could only apply TO one school,.
