the world. My support to bring about
this change will be ready when the
time arrives. An inquiry looking to
such change should be instituted at
once.
Should an investigation of the gas
situation be deemed expedient by your
honorable body, it might be advisable
to inquire into a report prevalent to
the effect that the gas company, an
ticipating the adoption of municipal
lighting system Immediately, has re-
Trained from making only necessary
improvements and enlarging it's mains
In order to, save the money which
would go into these Improvements.
There Is also before you the report
of the gas and meter inspector COW
ering, from his point of view, the sit
uation. 1t Is an exhaustive report
carefully prepared, and may enlighten
you on many points which I have not
touched upon.
Pending an investigation the people
should be patient, be as economical in
the use of gas as possible, all the time
bearing in mind extravagant use of
gas may bring on another famine.
Respectfully submitted,
A. G. HARPER, Mayor.

he would ask for reappointment as n
deputy constable without the bond
clause being inserted. De Ia Monte
would tell him no. nuh, nothin' doin'
and then they would threaten and beg
and ask to be appointed bond clause
or not, and De Ia Monte would weep
on their necks. share their sorrows and
griefs and bow them out without the

Cleveland kept up the same system

WHOLE CONSULTATIONS FALL
ON THE DESKS OF CONSTARLES

ful STAR of gold, with a circle of blue
enamel with his name embossed upon
1t and golden eagle with ruby eyes.
Explanations developed that De la
Monte and Cleveland have formed a
mutual admiration society. De la
Monte at his election four years ago
was presented by his deputies with a
little gold star and circle of elegant
pattern.
Upon reelection he decided to get
larger star, but first of all his kindli-
ness to his friend, the newly elected
cleveland, overlook him and he went
TO jewelers. and picked out the fin
est pattern of golden star he could
find and had Cleveland's name en-
bossed upon it as a surprise for his
brother officer.
Cleveland has a tender heart. He
thought how handsome De la Monte
was and how nice new star would
look, so to create a feeling of good will
ne went to jewelers. and asked to
see patterns of constables' stars. The
Jeweler showed him one he had fin
ished making for man but had not
yet put the name on it.
Cleveland told him to make him one
ike II and inScribe De la Monte'S name
ON the blue enamel.
Yesterday when the two officers met
each other both dlshed their hands
down in their pockets, presented each
other with fine gold star and then
nearly tainted when they saw that
both had selected the same star. The
pattern is exquisite and both Officers
are more than content.
Whole Constellation Fell
But it was amusing to watch the
deputies arrive at De la Monte's office
yesterday and forfeit their stars. All
of them wanted to be reappointed, but
with the exception of two night watch
men who were compelled to put up
$1,000 bonds, each and all applicants
were refused, and at the close of the
day from the number Of stars piled
on Constable de la Montes desk, an
astronomer would have thought the
officer had captured the milky way.
An applicant would enter the office
turn in his star and then take De la
Monte to one side and hold a consul
tatiOn. He would tell De la Monte how
he had known him for the past forty
years, how their fathers had been play
mates together, how he and his broth
er and his friends had fought for De Ia
Monte's election as constable, and then

The heat that should have been forth
coming from the furnace was sadly
lacking for the reason that water and
oil would not mix for heating purposes.
The rain Sunday night flooded the base

furnish heat and the Los Angeles high

BOYLE HEIGHTS
SPARED SMELLS
COUNCIL QUICKLY BLOCKS
FERTILIZER PLAN
Property Owners Voice Opposition
Against Scheme to Establish
Stencil District in the
River Bed

It did not take the new council long
to kill the plan oft presented to es-
tablish fertilizer factory district I'm
the southern limits of the city i'm the
Los Angeles river bed section.
This is the measure which Council
man Blanchard fought before, and yes
terday he made a severe speech in
opposition to the movement which he
said had the undivided opposition of
Boyle Heights property owners. The
project had come over from the last
council as legacy ana there was but
one thing to do-to kill it.
I'VE grant these people the priv
ilege we must let down the bars to
Others" said he.
Attorney Dockwiler for the promo
ters then made an argument.
I'VE have options on land within 300
feet of the southeastern city limits.
adjoining the city's dump" said he.
Fertilizer factories are as necessary
in the community as packing houses,
and no one will deny the necessity.
Dockweiler's Plea
1.-THE only reason we want to come
within the city limits is that eventually
we will have advantage of the city
sewers.
1--WE propose to build beside the city
dump. where all refuse not burned in
the crematory is consigned, and yet to
put in all the modern sanitary devices.
"If we are willing to put our capital
in with the promise from our chemist
that there will be no odors the council
can safely grant a privilege which will
then always be under the city's super
vision.
1--WE want a square deal and invite
unprejudiced examiners to lok at the
place and our plans, and then suggest
q public hearing so that all sides can
be heard. We are willing to abide by
the result"
Property Owners Protest x
E. Galbreth, representing some of the
property owners, spoke in opposition to
granting the privilege.
Il find on looking at the map that
the proposed district is in Y over
which the trains of a great transcon-
tinental road enter. The eastern Wis
itors pass that point. Verify, many of
them after getting the odors will keep
on going, never to come back.
| ''Why the end of the Shoestring strip
would not be too far away to have
such a works, and even then we could
detect it's odors. No fertilizer works
can be established without doing dam
age to the nearby property, even if it
be made a mile away.
prevailing winds from the ocean
would carry the smells over Boyle
Heights, spreading the nuisance. Be-
sides the city will soon grow out that
way.
"I understand these people already
have works in a canyon somewhere.
Let it remain there
Other property owners spoke of the
enterprise as menace to the city, and
on roll call all members voted against
the scheme and Dockweiler sought a
quiet corner. 1t is thought the next
move will be to go outside Of the city
limits.

ALL DEPUTIES STARS ARE
CALLED IN
Tears and Entreaties Are in Vain-De
la Monte and Cleveland Are
the Stony-Hearted
Ones

There were many sad people in Los
Angeles, many men who swore softly
at themselves and vociferously at the
new constables, and none of them wore
the bright little stars of the constables'
offices that before, as had been their
wont, they had displayed with smiles
of joy and satisfaction to the admir-
ing and appreciative multitudes.
For yesterday was the day, the day
when all the appointments of deputy
sheriffs and deputy constables under
the old administration went out and
no new appointments were made.
About 400 deputy constables under
Constable Cline suddenly found them
selves just private citizens again and
their little sars useless, and no right
to carry big gun. About 150 more
fell with great bang from their neigh
borhood prestige when they learned
that they were to take their stars and
return them to Constable de la Monte
to get them out of circulation.
AS a result yesterday De la Monte
and Cleveland were about the only
officers who wore constables' badges.
And, wonder of wonders, both had
badges alike. Cleveland the newly
elected constable to succeed Cline,
wore a bright gold star with circle
OF gold and blue enamel on 1t bearing
his name, and q golden eagle with
ruby eyes embossed upon it.
Stars Are Twins
Cleveland modestly admitted that a
friend had given him the badge to take
the place of his gold topped deputy
sheriff's star which he wore honorably
for several years.
A visit to Constable de la Monte's
office, however, created peculiar con-
dition, for De la Monte modestly
opened his coat and showed a beauti-
