INSTRUCTED TO WATCH
THE MOSQUITOES LEGS
TO DETERMINE WHETHER cULEX
OR ANoPHELES SPECIES

Sixth warders in the neighborhood Of
Fourteenth street and Santa Fe avenue
fear that malaria, disease from which
Los Angeles has heretofore been ex-
empt, will be brought into their dis
trict by a species of mosquito which
they have just discovered.
Near the corner of Fourteenth street
and Santa Fe avenue is a big sump
hole filed with stagnant water, and
this is a most prolific breeding place
for mosquitoes.
Several persons of a scientific turn of
mind have declared that they have seen
the anopheles, a species of mosquito
the female of which carries malaria in
her bite. and have laid the case before
the board of health.
Health officer Powers declares that
the only mosquitoes he knows to exist in
Los Angeles are culex, large breed
with a big bite but which aside from
irritation is not disease bearing.
He advised the persons living in the
neighborhood to watch the mosquitoes
as they alight on the walls and if the
insect places all its legs on the wall 1t
is the culex. If Only the fore pair of legs
rest on the wall and the second pair
are folded under the wings and the last
pair wave in the air it is the anopheles
If this species is found to exist the
health board will see that the stagnant
water is either drained off or covered
with a coating of kerosene

ASK ASSESSMENT REDUCTIONS
Corporations Tell County Board Of
Equalization That Vslua.
tions Are Too Hiqh

The various troubles Of the big cor
porations of Los Angeles have begun to
enter into the daily discussion of the
county supervisors, who are now sitting
as county board Of equalization Yes
terday it was discovered that the city
assessor had assessed certain corpora
tions so much less than the assessment
made by the county officers that the
difference amounted to several million
dollars.
Yesterday afternoon an objection was
entered by a Pasadean light and water
concern asking that the assessment on
their machinery be changed from
$4,000 to $500.
They alleged that the machinery was
nothing more than junk.
A few moments later, however, AS
SCISSOR Ben Ward delivered a crushing
blow to the proposed reduction when
he mentioned a certain instance of a
few months ago when Pasadena wanted
to buy the said junk machinery and
refused to close the deal because the
company valued the junk at $4,000
