BRIDGE PROBLEM
is MAIN ISSUE
BUDGET WILL KILL SEVERAL
OFFICES
Many City Employees Doomed--Sched-
uIe Arranged by Committee Prob
ably viii Be Recast by
Board

/, Today's session of the city council will
| be marked by the reading of the budget,
| the final work of weeks labor by the
| france committee.
| Messrs. Wallace, Blanchard and Drom-
| gold have been toying with figures ano
estimates sometimes in daily sessions, un-
| til they believe they have whitfield down
the expenses for each department to bed
| rock.
| Their report today will undergo the
scrutiny of their fellow councilmen, who
may tear the figures all apart and rear
range the schedule.
Some departments will suffer severely IN
the revision, and some officials or subor-
dinates will lose their heads or slices OF
their salary. This is made necessary by
the lack of funds to meet the appropria-
tions which the councilmen deem neces-
sary.
Councilman Dromgold of the First ward
has won over majority of the council
men to the view of the East Side I'm
provement association, and the property
owners of the First, Second and Eighth
wards, who hold that the most vital sub
jects before the city are the bridge for
Downey avenue-Buena Vista street-Pas-
adena avenue, which will form the great
Y bridge on the Pasadena highway, and
the reconstruction of the Main street
bridge.
This year only the preliminary steps will
be taken, but next year it is hoped to
complete these structures unless court
proceedings tie up the issues too long.
Fire bonds and other important issues
will be taken care of by special election.
Problem Complex
| The bridge question is full |. of COM
plexities for the reason that several large
wards have no bridges and their residents
do not realize how important these bridges
are TO the section which they feed and
draw from.
In the East Side bridge settlement it is
proposed to take from the Southern Paci-
| fic fifteen or twenty feet of land the
| length of Buena Vista street, beginning
at Eiysian park and running the length
of the yards. This will give the city a
wider street. linking important sections OF
Los Angeles and beyond
| 1t is also proposed to give the railroad
| a piece of ground the width Of two tracks
| which the company will cut off or Eylsiar
/ hill The company must also build sup
porting wall to hold the park ground.
| In the cost of the new steel bridge one,
third will be borne by the Los Angeles
Railroad company, which will use one
third of the roadway for its tracks.
When the bridge is finished a new rout
ing Of. cars will be made by which pas
eengers going to the East Side Will b'
spared the necessity of crossing the grades
which now menace traffic.
In connection with the budget today {
committee of women representing clubs
and leagues will be on hand to protes
the looping off of the offices of city for
ester and city billboard inspector. Thi
is proposed by the council purely on re
trenchment grounds. The women will en-
deavor to show that these men have al
ready more than paid for the cost of thei
offices, besides doing much good for tn
community indirectly.

ASSOCIATION PROTESTS
AGAINST ICING CHARGES
WILL APPEAL TO INTERSTATE
COMMISSION
Western Fruit Jobbers Condemn
Schedule of Railroads as Extor-
tionate-other Bodies Have
Complained

The Western Fruit Jobbers association
at meeting held in Omaha Saturday
decided to complain to the interstate
commerce commission against the alleged
extortionate rates which are being
charged for the icing of fruits.
Local fruit shippers and the California
Fruit Growers association are elated
over this decision of the Jobbers' asso-
ciation, as the former have made a
complaint to the commission which VIII
be heard within the near future. 1t Is
more than likely that the complaints OF
both associations will be heard at the
same time so as to do away with the
necessity of two hearings.
1t is alleged that the present rate for
icing cars from Los Angeles to Chicago
is S625o. The initial icing is performed
here. and 1t is charged that the price
for shipping is immoderate compared
with the cost the railroad sustains IN
the shipment.
Several times when Los Angeles 1obbers
have complained of the charges the rail
roads have lessened them to some extent
but now the jobbers want decrease II
charge comparative with the cost OF
shipment by the railroads, which they
say would be appreciably less than wha'
is paid at present.

This is an over-long resume of the play
but the absorbing interest OF the story
as presented on the stage, must serve a:
its excuse.
There are light touches in the drama
both in action and dialogue; the first
In the opening scene of the third act
where number of young girls are
shown at their easels in art art school,
and the last, for instance, in Templetons
pithy comment on his brothers business

had left a fortune. HE speculated in

Pathos in Plenty
There are pathetic touches, too; many
of them. In the second act, when Tenn
pleton's aloftness iJ just beginning to
sadden his wife. she seems to feel that
her lack of personal charm is the cause,
and demands to be assured that it will
return to her.

NcdUy WTllleu, Is an aCHleVeHeHt. <AS
one of the art students said of Joan, the
woman is elemental; and Miss Stoddard
gets in under the skin of the character.
She gives us a remarkable study in ia
cial expression, a truly remarkable bit
of acting, fromithe first act to the last.
am aware that she probably will be
accused of over-acting in the big scene
of the third act, but l believe thorough
ly in Miss Stoddard's Interpretation.
There is time for repression and a
time for it's opposite, and Miss Stod-
dard has been big enough to prove it.
Stone at His Best
Lewis Stone, as the artist-husband,
presents rightly conceived and convinc-
ing portrait of a man whose moral fiber
is warped by ambition, but who
straightens up in the end. He has seen
fit to discard the usual fripperies of
stage artist. There is no velvet coat,
no Bohemian" affectations. None is
needed. 1t is rare man that Mr.. Stone
shows us this week; real in his first
act sufferings; real in his admirable as
sumption of nervous petulance in the
lighter opening scene of the third act;
and primordially real in his final re-
nunciation of ambitions temptation and
his abnegation of self before the woman
who had given him her all.
Apart from these two, excellent work is
done by Miss Florence Smythe as the
millionaire's daughter; Richard Vivian as
Joan's friend; Miss Violet Rand as a
model and Harry Glazier as the art
patron. Good bits are contributed also
by Hobart Bosworth, Miss Adele Far
rington and William Yereance in minor
roles.
In brief 1.-THE Primrose Path is a
drama of absorbing interest, presented
on a uniformly high plane. The Be
lasco company is at it's best and just how
good that best is you cannot know until
YOU have seen the play. +.

LOCAL AND
LONG DISTANCE
Telephone Service In and Out
From WINFIELD to Be
Improved.

There is probability that the
telephone service at Winfield is
soon to be improved and made
first class in every way. And
this statement is not intended to
convey the idea that the local
service is not already good, but
what is meant is that the long
distance service is to be improved.
Since the North Louisiana
Telephone Company acquired the
Winfield Telephone Exchange,
the exchanges at Dodson and
Jonesboro and the long distance
line between Winfield and Rus
ton have also been purchased.
The company proposes to I'M
prove the exchanges at Dodson
and Jonesboro and put in another
through line from here to Ruston.
The present line will be rebuilt
with heavier wire and will be cut
into the exchanges and the toll
