"coST OF CUT SHOULD BE
MORE WIDELY DISTRIBUTED

Because the board OF public works has
come to the conclusion that the proposed
assessment district is too small the plan
to change the grade of Grand ,venue
from First street to point 10 feet from
Second street has been temporarily
shelved.
The affected property owners pointed
out that the cost should be distributed
as far north as Temple and as far south
as Third street at least, as those resi-
dents are gamers by the reduced grade.
On the other hand it appears that side
walks and curbs must be rebuilt if the
change is made, new sewers must be
installed and new retaining walls built,
as some of the lots will be ten or twelve
feet above grade after the change.
Those most interested are J. M. Quinn.
who owns 60 feet; Louisa Mohn. 60 feet;
M. w. Quinn. 100 feet; Mrs. S. Mans
field. 45 feet; John Phillippi, 80 feet; John
w. Hunt. 40 feet; Jennie Kiefer 60 feet,
and Adam Maussnest 30 feet.

FOR ROOM
IN CITY HALL
LEGAL AND TAX DEPARTMENTS
NEED SPACE
Board of Public Works Has Plans Un
der Way, Cost to Be Charged
to Next Years Ac-
count

More space must be provided for OFFICES
in the old city hall.
Although the annex proposition was de-
feated for lack of funds or other reasons
some enlargements must be figured out
at once; and it is up to the building de-
partment to do so.
The greatest need is that of the city
attorney for the legal library and for the
tax collector.
The board of public works. which Is
custodian Of the building, has decided
that both of these recommendations are
urgent and will go ahead as soon as a
few thousand dollars can be found to pay
for the changes.
Councilman Healy has long urged that
a half-dozen offices could be installed
temporarily in the roof story of the city
hall, to which point the electric elevator
runs The school nurses, the lodging
house Inspector and the engineers de-
partment have supplementary quarters IN
that space. But it will not be con-
venient or inviting place for the general
public.
In the present cramped quarters public
business actually suffers, as men are In
each others way and storage room fol-
books and records is so unsatisfactory
that many unnecessary moves must be
made with loss of time to the employees.
1t is probable that the plans will be
drawn so that bids can be advertised for
after December, so as to run the cost
into the next fiscal year.

CONVENTION
SUCCESSFUL
SUNDAY SCHOOLS CLOSE ANNUAL
MEETING
SESSIONS UNUSUALLY WELL
ATTENDED
Resolutions Protesting Against More
Saloon Licenses Being Granted for
Seventh Ward Adopted as
Final Action

Closing sessions of the eighteenth an
nual convention Of the Southern Califor-
mia Sunday School association were held
yesterday with an unusually large atten-
dance.
The principal Item of interest at the
morning session was the passing of reso-
lutions asking that no more saloon IL
censes be granted for East Seventh street
In the Seventh ward. Following are the
resolutions:
Whereas, saloon licenses are frequent
1y issued for East Seventh street, In the
Seventh ward of this city, and
Whereas, some of our churches rep
resented in this convention are, through
their patrons, doing everything possible
to protect and care for that densely
populated portion of the city; be 1t
Resolved, That this. the State Sunday
school convention, representing more
than 725 Sunday schools In which are
training more than 5000 scholars, do
most earnestly protest against the issu-
ance of the saloon license near Seventh
and Wall streets, or any other licenses
in the Seventh ward, where the great
bulk of our workingmen live"

HEALTH BOARD TO HOLD
BREAKFAST HOUR SESSION
Physicians Will Try Early Meetings to
Insure Full Attendance and Care-
full Handling of Important
Questions

The board of health will hold the first
of it's morning sessions at o'clock today.
The plan is an experiment and il no
quorum appears the old rule of after
noon sessions may be reinvoked.
In the past the members of the board
of health have invariably left their offices
with patients waiting and frequently
there We're absentee5 at the meetings.
Mayor Harper remarked at the last
session that SO many important questions
are arising in the health department that
he wants the benefit of the advice and
discussion of the full board and it was
suggested that the hour of 4:SO was a bad
time for the physician members because
of conflicting office and hospital hours.
If the morning hour does not work out
well evening sessions may held as an
experiment, though all other boards in
the Harper administration holl day ses-
sions except the public library board.

eating him. Expending her money for
transportation and expenses en- roura,
she arrived in the city penniless.
After a long search for her husband
