WOULD MAKE LOS ANGELES
A TREE-CoVERED CITY
Proposed Planting Ordinance Applies
Especially to New Tracts and
Subdivisions Which Must
Have Shade

e. Avery McCarthy's request to the
city council to pass an ordinance requir-
ing that trees be freely planted is likely
to be carrier out. 1t appears only to the
residential section of Los Angeles.
In the case of all new subdivisions or
tracts placed on the market it is pro-
vided that no maps shall be approved I'M
less trees have been set out on these new
areas.
Less stringent provisions will apply to
old subdivisions.
A state law governs the planting and
care of shade trees, but as considerable
expense is involved most municipalities
hesitate to proceed under it's provisions
because of the cost.
AS deposit of 81 is required on each
tree-at least one of which must be
planted in front of each inside lot and
four on corner lots-the interest will pay
the wages of forester. This money in
sures the care of the trees or the plant
ing of new ones If they die.

CIRCUS GIRL TURNS
soMERsAULTs ON HORSE

When Ringing Brothers circus exhib-
its in Los Angeles people will be given an
opportunity of seeing the only woman in
the world who can turn somersault on
horse. Daisy Hodglni is her name, and
she has just come from Italy to join
Ringing Brothers circus, this being her
first appearance in America. Miss Hold
gini is a picture of grace and beauty on
the back of her famous horse, and her
riding is an absolute novelty. Those who
have seen the art declare that nothing
like 1t has even been seen in this coun-
try. Men there are who can turn somer-
saults on a horse, but this little Italian
woman adds a grace of movement to the
act that puts a man to blush.

GREEDY EYES ON
NEW RESERVE FUND
FINANCIAL LEoIaLATIoN DEALS
ARE PENDING
counclImen Worried Over Mysterious
Movement-PoIce May Be Let
of with Only Slight
Reduction In Pay

Legislation regarding transfer of city
funds was to have been introduced into
the city council yesterday, but hitch
caused action to be deferred. Possibly
Councilman wallace's absence caused
change of program.
| 1t Is not clear just what is proposed,
as old laws provide that funds must not
be diverted from their specific purpose
law. however, which was rarely hon
ored in the last council
| Again 1t is suggested that the $25O'OoO
reserve fund sacredly set aside by non
partisans is to be attacked.
The only general fund now maintained
by the city auditor is the general ex-
pense fund.
AS the taxes will not come in till No
vember this fund, like most others, is
swept bare by present needs.
Inherited Deficit
1--WE inherited a deficit of 100000 with
the new year" said Acting City Auditor
McLouth yesterday, land we are trying
to catch up by economy and strict ODE
dience of the law.
I'VE are not making much progress. as
the estimates are far above the funds
we have to dole out.
However, we strictly obey the laws
switching of one fund to another
With Councilmen Lyon and Healy and
Mayor Harper irrevocably opposed to
slicing salaries the finance committee
of the council cannot muster sufficient
votes to carry reduction ordinance, as
six votes are needed out of nine.
The committee sees no way out of the
difficulty except to cut city employees
salaries, and the members are hoping
some wise financier will arise to show
them a way out of the difficulty.
This year the tax deputies will be
called on to collect S3,043,614, which is
sS53,05S more than the preceding year.
The excess of personal property tax
amounts to $44,469.
Use Reserve for Police
The only alternative is to use the $780,
600 set aside distinctly as a reserve fund
designed to meet the coming bills when
the years tax income is exhausted.
1t Is now proposed to use part of this
reserve fund to help out the police and
fire departments and use up the rest for
bridges and other pressing necessities.
Last night 1t was said that the police
would after all escape with a cut of $2I
to IS a month, but that the detectives
would have to stand cut of $25 month.
The officials higher up will also es-
cape with only small reductions in salary.
That is the result of pressure brought
by Councilman Lyon of the Seventh
ward, who is the champion of these de-
partments and has the ear of the mayor.

ICE GRAFT
OFFICIAL ASKS MAYOR TO NAME
COMMISSION
SAYS DRIVERS ALONE GAIN BY
SHORT WEIGHTS
Systematic Stealing In Deliveries VIII
Be Checked, President calklns
Declares, II Guilty Can
Be Reached

President and General Manager u, q
Cailsins and Attorney Otto Rech, on be
half OF the Merchants Ice and Cold stor
age company, yesterday asked Mayor
c. Harper to appoint commission u
investigate the market price of ice t.
learn whether it is fair and to also 1901
into the question of short weight, To-
which II is claimed drivers and not TIT
company are responsible.
When The Herald yesterday suggested
that a law be passed compelling every
wagon to be equipped with scales SO ina
consumers could be present each time
chunk of Ice was served, wnlcn is tn'
rule in many eastern cities, these mel
.,rrested that the idea was a good one.
Discharge Crooked Drivers
In behalf of his company President
Calkins yesterday said:
GAS president of the Merchants Ice ano
Cold Storage company / beg to offer my
services and the services of every or
ficer of the company, not only IN the IN
yestigation, but in suppressing the evils
of short weight deliveries of ice TO con-
sumers.
.It Is important to understand that
when the drivers receive the ice from the
company 1t Is charged to them by weight
ITpon their return settlement is mace
for the amount of ice actually taken out,
less the return and the days shortage.
.'It Is a mistake to accuse all Ice driv-
ers of dishonesty, for there are many ex-
ceptions. Our company's policy is to dis
charge those against whom we are aple
to secure proof of guilt, and under this
rule we have let out five drivers within
the last three months.
This systematic stealing Of some driv-
ers is an outrage upon the public, and an
enormous loss to the ice company.
Company Loses, Too
.sWben a dishonest driver short-weghts
a customer. we will say ten pounds, he
takes that ten pounds, sells 1t to high
priced customer of his own, who would
otherwise buy of the company, and APP
propriates the money to himself. The
company thus loses the sale OF ike
amount of ice at the highest rate.
I'm this transaction the company's in
Jury is not only the loss of the sale of
the ice, but the good WILL and generally
the patronage of the customer receiving
the short weight.
sInasmuch as the Merchants company
has been further criticised by the press
and public for raising the price of its
ice, and because there seems to be
tendency among many people to condemn
ice companies on general principles,
ask on behalf of our company that the
mayor appoint a commission, not only to
investigate this short weight when same
concerns our company, but to thoroughly
examine the books and accounts of our
company, and make such other investiga-
lions into it's affairs as are necessary to
ascertain whether or not the prices for
ice charged by us are reasonable and
Just"

STEAMERS ARRIVE
AT SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-Twe
steamers, the w. S. Porter and the tug
Navigator, arrived in port yesterday
and their advent marks an epoch in the
industrial history of California and of
the entire Pacific Coast. The W. s.
Porter, Captain Ole Borresen, is a steam
oil-tanker, built for and owned by the
Associated Oil Company. She made her
maiden voyage from New York to ply
