1t has cost the city $37,56S to purchase
and receive fifty-two voting machines,
bought by the council over the protest
of all taxpayers. The county supervis-
ors have also bought tifty-two ma
chimes. The weight of each machine is
114O pounds and the city has no place
in which to store them and no way to
transport them over the election pre-
cincts and back. City Clerk Lelande
says they are white elephants They
are worse than that. They are public
nuisances. In nearly every other city
that has experimental with them they
have been sent to the scrap heap and
sold for old junk. The whole transac-
tion is a piece of wretched extrava-
gance, the result of the most perverse
foolishness. Los Angeles has no more
need for voting machines than it has
for gondolas on Broadway.

KERN RIVER WATER POWER
Conditions Said to Be Remindful OF
Colonel Eddy's Proposition for
Dam and Reservoir

LOS ANGELES, May 29.-(Editor
Herald) The floods which annually
overflow the banks of Kern river are
earlier and heavier than usual this year.
A large area of oil and farming country
is menaced by them. Their recurrence at
this time and the threatened danger
emphasize anew the need of ample
storage reservoirs in the mountains to
impound the surplus flow and to con-
serve it for use when needed later in
the season.
Some years ago Col. J. w. Eddy Sc
cured a government franchise for the
use of natural basin known as
Menache Meadows, on the south fork
of Kern river, where, by the construc-
tion of a dam across the narrow gorge
at the outlet, a lake containing about
seven billion cubic feet OF water would
be formed. This reservoir site, If thus
improved, would not only hold back
menacing floods like that which is now
overspreading the valley, but would
also make it possible to equalize the
flow during the rest Of the year and
give the farmers plenty of water during
the dry season.
We understand that some of the
large ranchers occupying the low lands
have objected to Col. Eddy'S project on
the plea that they would be deprived
of their due share of water. But ap-
parently nothing of that kind would
happen. Col. Eddy wants to use the
water for the development of electrical
power and the entire volume of water
coming from the mountains would after
being thus utilized pass by his works
and ultimately reach the valley. There
is no way by which he could deprive
the people below from getting the
entire flow of the river but in case it
should be stored as proposed it would
come to them in such a way that they
would derive the full benefit of it's use
all the year round. CITIZEN.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-30
Los ANGELES PUBLIc BunpING

IN a communication to Senator Flint,
published in today's Herald, Postmaster
Flint admirably and forcefully sets out
the reasons why the appropriation Tor
the government building at Los Angeles
should be Increased. These reasons are
shown TO exist In the enormous Increase
Of government business IN this city.
Postal receipts at Los Angeles for the
year ended June 30. 1900. were s245,O84. AZ.
while for the year ended June 30. 1905.
the receipts were ss4s5i2.ss. Thus the
income and business were more than
doubled within a period Of fve years.
The postmaster shows that the ratio
of increase continues and Is even
greater now than at any period since
1900 The increase over the 1905 year.
from June 30, to May, 1905, amounts to
SsO9, ,6OsS4.
These figures demonstrate a condition
Of unparalleled growth and call for the
serious attention Of the government
authorities. They should see by the
facts presented that Los Angeles is
neither buncombe nor a boom city.
Its wonderful development Is of a per-
manent and home-maklng character.
Its growth is solid, substantial and con-
tinuous. It's increase in local business
is coextensive with the increase in the
government business, and after all the
government must look to the care and
protection of it's own business in this
city.
The situation with respect to the fed
eral building in this city Is peculiar, in
that while bids have been advertised
for no contract can be let, because
the figures are in excess Of the appro-
priation. This can best be remedied
by an increase in the amount Of money
which the government should expend
upon its own.
Postmaster Flint has abundantly
proven his case, and all Los Angeles
will bear testimony to the truth of his
contention The government building
in this city deserves generous recog-
milton at the hands of congress and the
several departments, and Senator Flint
should see that the interests of Los
Angeles are subserved by urging an
increased appropriation.

A tribute to those passed away.
Forgotten is the battle cry,
The bloody strife
That many a life

When animosities were rife.
For blended now are gray and blue;

The blue before
Now lettering, and, oh. so few!
All gray now are their locks, and hoar.
So, as the years have blended thus
The embems of

Entwined their hearts, and anger's flush
Has died, while peace enthrones above

And We who fought
For right, ye thought.
We of this day give willing pause
This tribute with your blood ye bought
We too, this day will roses take.

JOHNSON RET|RES
FROM Commission
Mayor McAleer Receives Letter From
Member Who Opposed Saloon
lnterests-Some Talk
of Successor

The long cherished hope of the police
commission came to pass last night
Commissioners Johnson rendered his
resignation and it was accepted. In
personal letter to Mayor McAleer
ne declared his family physician had
advised him to give up his official posi-
ton.
While the members of the police
commission were secretly glad Com
missioner johnson will no longer enter
INTO THEM calculations, they were gen.
uinely sorry that his failing health
had forced his resignation. Mr.. john
son has been in very poor health for
several months and until he paid a
snort visit to the mayors Office yester-
DAY morning had not been out of his
house for three weeks
Il am more than sorry that Mr.
Johnson was forced to resign" said
Mayor McAleer yesterday evening,
"but 1t was agreed between us when
L appointed him to the board that at
any time he saw fit to resign he would
be permitted to do SO without ques-
tion.''
Mayor McAleer would not discuss
Mr.. Johnson's probable successor last
evening, although he admitted he had
a man in mind 1t is almost certain,
however, that he will not name a man
who holds such radical views on the
saloon question as does Mr.. Johnson
Mr.. johnson is opposed to the saloon
as an institution, on principle and the
saloon interests received scant courtesy
from him in his capacity as commits
sioner.
Commissioner Mason is not as radi-
cal in his views as was Commissioner
Johnson, but the two often worked
hand in hand to the discomfort of
the mayor and Commissioners James
and Hagan, known as the solid
three
1t was Commissioner Johnson who
succeeded in having the licenses of the
Del Monte and the Bisbee Inn revoked
that resulted in one restaurant going
out of business entirely and the other
being sold and its name changed.

NO CHECK TO PROGRESS

How will building improvement in
Los Angeles be affected by the San
Francisco disaster? That was the
standard business question when the
full extent of the calamity was re-
vealed. 1t was a question that no per-
son could answer confidently. No such
situation ever had been presented and
there were no data on which to base a
calculation.
There was much difference of opinion
among citizens regarding the probable
tiles in this matter. Optimists saw no
cause for apprehension, supporting
their view with the argument that Los
Angeles is too remote from the scene
of trouble to be notceably affected.
Conservative men were inclined to the
opinion that there would be some cur
tailment in building improvement, but
that an early reaction would bring
about normal activity. The pessimists.
encouraged in gloomy forebodings by
the outrageous lies invented by the
Examiner concerning the situation. in
Los Angeles, of course saw nothing but
misfortune in the future.
Now, however, the opinions in regard
to the influence of the calamity in this
city are displaced by facts and figures.
The building record to date for the
month of May supersedes all the vari-
Gus shades OF opinion from optimists,
conservatives and pessimists. We
know, by the exact proof of dollars and
cents, to what extent building has been
influenced here by the northern
calamity.
The record of the building depart
ment for last week showing figures for
May less four days to be added the
present week, indicates no injurious
effect whatever. In the number Of
permits and the value Of building inn
provements represented by them, a
normal condition in the building trade
is disclosed. A million dollars. less
small fraction, tells the story of values
called for by the permits for the month,
as figured at the end of last week. The
four days of the present week will no
doubt send the total high and dry above
the million dollar level.
The building record for this month,
and even the record for April subse-
quent to the calamity, gives convincing
evidence that the progress of improve
ment in Los Angeles was not even tenn
porarily checked. And what better
evidence could there be that this city's
improvement progress is unchecka BILE =?
The optimists We're right.
