WHAT LIABILITY
FALLS ON CITY?
INTERESTING POINTS RAISED
BY CAHUENGA ANNEXATION
Consolidation Commission and Water
Board Expect to Get Together
to Expedite an under-
standing

Petitions for the annexation to Los
Angeles Of about twenty-five square
miles of territory, including a part OF
the Cahuenga valley, are still hung
UP in the council.
A rather interesting question Is IN
volved in this annexation project. 1t Is
as to the liability which the city Will
assume in regard to the water supply.
When this petition came before the
council the members decided to refer
it to the consolidation commission for
a report as to the feasibility of grant
ing the request
with view to arriving at an intelli-
gent understanding of all the facts, the
commission asked for conference with
the water board, but no date which
would suit the convenience of both
bodies could be arranged, and finally
the consolidation commission appoint
cd special committee for this pur-
pose.
To date this committee has met with
no more success so far as conference
Is concerned than did the full commits
sion, and the result is that the whole
thing still is hanging fire.
Leaders Make Promises
The leaders of the movement for the
annexation of this new territory have
represented to the city council and the
consolidation commission that they do
not propose to call on the city for an
additional water supply.
They say their present supply Is
sufficient for their needs, and that they
will make no further claims on the city
in this respect.
The question is, however, can the city
evade liability If, at some future time,
any of the residents In the proposed
new territory set up the claim that,
having become part of the city. they
are entitled to their proportionate share
of the water furnished by the city?
Able lawyers are somewhat divided
on this point.
On the one hand it is maintained
that the city cannot be called upon to
furnish that which it does not possess,
and on the other that it must treat all
parts of its territory on an equal basis.
Water Boards Views
Just what position the water board
will take as to the ability of the city
to furnish this territory with q full sup
ply of water is not known, but Superin-
tendent Muholland's individual views
as to the water situation In this part of
the country have been fully exploited
at various times.
The point is made that if Los Ange-
les is to keep up its present rate of
growth larger water supply must
sooner or later he provided, and it is to
meet these conditions that the move
ment to bring the waters of the owens
river to this city were begun.
Los Angeles unquestionably has suf-
ficient water for its present needs, but
it goes without saying that with the
water levels steadily going down the
time eventually must come when the
limit of production will be reached.
Long before that time, however, the
Owens river scheme will have been
carried out, provided no additional de-
mands of large proportions are made
on the city.
1t is for this reason that the council
and the consolidation, commission have
deemed it wise to go slow on this ques-
tion of taking in new territory.

ENGINEERS HEAR
BRIGHT ADDRESS
EXPERT TELLS OF CONDITIONS
IN PHILIPPINES
Architects Association Gathers at
Monthly Dinner-Aereed That
San Pedro Should Have Har-
Dor Second to None

SiXty-seven mcmbers of the Engi
neers and Architects association
gathered at the regular monthly din
ner meeting at Levy's cafd last night
to listen to the address on American
and Spanish engineering in the Phil
ippines delivered by Capt. Amos A.
Fries. The latter was prominently
connected with engineering work in
the Philippine islands shortly after
the Spanish American war.
Capt. Fries utterances were based
upon notes he had taken while in the
islands and We're given before the as
sociation last night primarily for sug-
gestions in the building Of a harbor
at San Pedro for Greater Los Angeles
and secondly for the entertainment of
the members of the association.
In his address Capt. Fries referred
to the durability of the molave wood
when used as piles. Capt Fries said that
In the Philippines the piles made from
that wood lasted almost indefinitely
and resisted the action of inseccs and
water to marked degree.
Must Have Harbor
The unfortunate feature of this ex-
cellent wood is, however that IL will
probably prove too expensive. as 1t
costs 81 a foot. Another feature is
that 1t will not float, and would for
that reason be hard to get here owing
to the excessive cost of transportation.
Still another feature is that IL comes in
lengths that will possibly be too short
for the San Pedro harbor.
In closing his remarks Capt. Fries
said;
Los Angeles must have harbor.
No city i'm the United States can be
classed i'm the ranks of firSt-class
cities that are without harbors. A
city to be first-class must have great
transportation facilities. Wherever
there is great transportation civiliza-
tion Is the highest"
c. E. Grunsky, city engineer of San
Francisco and late OF the Panama
commission, was also a guest of honor
at the meeting. His remarks were
upon his experiences and those OF
other members of the Panama commis-
sion while engaged In the starting of
the enormous engineering feat that is
in progress on the isthmus of Panama.

COURT CLERK WOULD
END PHONE NUISANCE

man, having fixed up her engagements
for the afternoon, Haunted out of the
witness room and caught sight of the
attorneys looking at her. She tossed
her head and left the room.
"Well" remarked Wright, and I
never thought of the button till now"
For many months the witness room
of department one, the criminal section
of the superior court, has been popu-
lar with the young women of the
court house and of the neighborhood
who have gone there to use the tele-
phones. The room is like booth and
one can carry on a fine conversation
unless court is in session.
Since Wright's appointment several
days ago to take charge of the DEPART
ment as clerk of the court, the tele-
phone habit has received a severe
squelch. Before that, young women
who happened to be in the building
and others who went there for that
purpose patronized the telephone in
the witness room to the limit.
Warned to Desist
Time after time the patient clerk
warned them to desist, that they were
annoying the court. He met with
naughty stareS and 'Sir-r-r" until he
decided to adopt a more strenuous
course. First he put up sign:
Phones out of order, wires crossed,
beware of shock
The plan worked well for awhile
until girl more venturesome than
the rest, tried the phones and received
no shock. Then the telephoners began
to return in droves.
But from now on there will be no
more young women telephoning from
department one. For several days
electricians have been at work, and at
last have hit upon scheme to stop
the craze. A wire has been extended
from the telephones to a spot bneath
the clerks desk. So that whenever
Wright sees anyone about to enter
the telephone room he notices whether
they have any business there, and If
not he simply taps his foot on the
electric button and the telephone is
promptly disconnected.
A public telephone has been put in
the court house corridor and after this
all engagements with young men
friends will have to be made over the
public phone.

REFRESHING PLUNGES
PUBLIC BATHS AT BETHLEHEM
ARE OPENED
Five Hundred Visitors Indulge in
Swim in New Institution at vignes
and Ducommon Streets-Predlct
That 1t Will Prove Popular Resort

Long before the opening of the Beth

ing at Vignes and Ducommon streets,
large number of boys were standing
in line to get their first dips in the
plunge.
1t was an informal opening of the
season and every youngster who could
scrape up a "nickul" was on hand
AS soon as the doors were opened at
z o'clock a stampede was made, and 1t
was not long before the plunge became
literally alive with the happy, yelling
urchinS.
About 500 men and boys indulged in
the refreshing water during the heat
Of the day and well along into the
night.
The plunge will prove a popular re-
sort for the men and boys of that
neighborhood through the summer sea-
son.
Rev. Dana Bartlett and his assistants
are exerting every effort to make the
plunge a success.

HEARS TOO MANY PRIVATE
CONVERSATIONS
Young Women Making Dates With
James and George Must Look
Elsewhere for Talking
Apparatus

"Oh James, you wouldn't break that
date with me now, would you?"
The voice was sweet and plaintive
and the syllables were broken here and
there by queer little catchy sounds rs
the girl at the telephone rolled her
chewing gum energetically from one
side Of her mouth to the other and
talked to her beau over the telephone.
But the telephone was in the wit
ness room of department one of the
superior court and it was within three
minutes time of the opening of court,
yesterday morning.
The attorneys in the court room
stopped i, to listen and Clerk Jack
Wright slammed his minute book shut
and started for the door of the small
witness room.
Before he reached it he hurried
around and locked the outside door Of
the witness room, so that the girl
would have to leave through the main
court room-and then he went back to
work.
Without the slightest change in the
sweetened adjectives the girl kept on,
unmindful of the fact that a score of
attorneys and court attaches were
listening to the conversation.
Silence Reiens Moment
The work of the court was short and
again there was silence.
But the girl at the telephone was
still on the alert "Hello George.'
she said, and the attorneys gasped.

1t Is just as easy to handle the
Cream Separator right as 1t Is the
pillow or any other machinery, and
Prot. Erf, of the dairy department
of the State Agricultural college
lays down these four important
facts.
1st, : the speed of the bowl
has an influence on the cream. A
change IN speed from one separa-
ton to another changes the test,
the per cent of fat of the cream.
I'd, the temperture of the milk
affects the cream and the test. If
the milk is warm the cream will
be thicker than If it is cold.
3, = the amount separated per
hour is another important factor.
This is especially important. For
if. the milk is unevenly fed into
the bowl, the thickness of the
cream Is vastly influenced.
4th, = the amount of water or
skim milk used to flush out the
bowl will affect the quality of the
cream.
All these things tend to show
that the separator must be handled
with care and good judgment to
get the same test of your cream
every time.
