WILL TALK Gas
AND RAILROADS
COUNCIL TODAY MAY ALSO
CREATE SEALER
Dairymen Expected to Oppose New
Office, as It Affects the Size
Of Bottles in Which Milk
Is Delivered

Today's session Of the city council
will consider three notable items of
business, and perhaps more.
The report of the gas committee will
be formally submitted, together with
what the two experts have to say, and
two new offices will be created If Mayor
a. r. Harper's suggestions are followed
out.
one of the offices proposed is that of
city sealer of weights and measures.
This idea was given an impetus through
letter written by Oil Inspector Black
mar to the mayor. Mr.. Blackmar calls
attention to the fact that in obedience
to many requests he had insisted on
oil tank wagons being gauged and their
capacity stamped on the wagons. He
found that the credited capacity and
the real capacity were far different.
Many requests and complaints concern
ing short scales, bags, boxes and meas
ures had come to him, the public appar-
emily supposing that he had control
over these questions and he has now
asked the mayor for relief with the re-
suit that special message was re-
Gently prepared.
1t is likely that opposition will come
from the dairymen, as it will compel
them to give full measure in their bot
ties which are notoriously below the
right standard of capacity regardless of
their labels.
When the mayor first suggested the
idea the council was not inclined to
adopt it because of the supposed drain
on the city treasury. The now famous
executive sessions of the committee of
the whole negatived the plan. How
ever, all over the city letters, resolu-
tions, petitions and personal calls have
resulted in urging the MAJOR to go
ahead with the idea, and 1t will come
up today in an executive letter on the
subject. 1t is pointed out that fees
will be charged and the ofice will be no
drain on the treasury.
Similarly a letter will come from the
mayors office on the proposition to tax
! billboards and create the office Of bill
board inspector 1t is planned to get a
revenue for the city of at least $4,000
annually, the object not being so much
to get revenue as to curtail If not abol--
! sh the use of unsightly and fire-pro-
ducing billboards. This movement was
inspired by the Municipal Art league
and has been indorsed by various
| bodies.

PASTOR BREACHES
HIS FAREWELL

peace shall be with YOU"

accomplished by the little pilgrim band

them to live up to the text, to keep har-
lnony in the church and to live in
peace.
This church was organized by Rev.
Mr.. Holly two years ago, in reality be-

"WE'UNS OF TENNESSEE"
A SOLDIER MELODRAMA,
SUITS BURBANK PATRONS

Three good character impersonations
make 1--WE 'Uns of Tennessee" we'll
worth critical attention at the Burbank
this Week-though the whole of the SOL
dier melodrama appealed strongly to
the Sunday audience. These charac-
ters are Uncle Ned, done excellently
well by Harry Stockbridge; Lige Nun
roe, semi-villain, depicted cleverly by
Arthur Rutledge, and Mandy, his. sis
ter, we'll handled by Maude Gilbert.
These three are now the strongest
members of the Burbank forces and
can always be depended upon for ar
tistic work. Their conceptions of these
several roles make even the most criti-
cal applaud and satisfy the connois-
seur.
The play itself has been done here be-
fore. 1t is melodrama of the Spanish
war, the settings being in Tennessee
and at Chickamauga. 1t tells q story
of intrigue and revenge, and is in
Volved, illogical at times, and redund-
ant. while its complications are rather
improbable and it's workings out are
quite palpable and obvious, not to say
crude. at times. Still 1t abounds with
action, has an abundance of love in
terest and superfiuity OF rather ap-
parent comedy. 1t Is not Just In the
class of recent Burbank presentations,
being more In the line OF offerings ma
tive to the Grand, but 1t carries inter-
est to a host of the less discriminating
theater goers and pleases those who go
merely to be amused or thrilled.
The manner OF it's presentation COM
mends 1t, however. The second act is
especially beautiful. Some minor in
consistencies are noticeable, but in the
main the atmosphere is we'll preserved.
The duel scene is bad.

lCCIS HOPKINS" that classic of
the rural stage, will hold over

ECCIS HOPKINS" that classic of
the rural stage, will hold over
another week at the Grand.
This was expected from the first; the
business justified it's prediction even
last Sunday, and the rush to see it yes
terday showed that the arrangement
was a good business move.
Miss Melville, who does the Sis Hop
kins stunt, is billed to he on her fare
well tour in 1t. Maybe she is; maybe
not. Patti "farewelled" so often that
it became a joke and other stage folk
have done the same. 1t is safe to say
that Miss Melville will continue as Sis
till the public asks her to quit-and
that will be some days to come.
Miss Melville, outside of her afro
cious makeup, Is lovely woman. One
may not believe that, as on the stage
she is always seen as a perfect guy
But look at the picture above, which is
made from a photo taken last week iT
Los Angeles, and be convinced. She
has good looks style, can chat enter
tainingly and Is delightful company. AL
of which may seem incredible in one
who puts on the disguise that she does,
but is easily accounted for when one
studies that countenance.
So large q patronage as isis Hop
kins" drew at the Grand last week
as large as Buster Brown"-brought
about a second weeks engagement and
the big audiences were duplicated yes
terday.
Rose Melville is coming money so
fast that she carries her automobile
around with her, gives interviews ad-
vising girls how to get rich and stay
rich and hardly knows what to do with
and other playwrights to frame up a
new play for her Continuing the Sis
character of course), but neither the
playwright, the manager nor the pub
lie seems willing to let the old drama
die. So Sis is here again, climbing
down the stable ladder and over the
fence in the same Posey county way
and purring with her roguish voice as
of old.
Miss Melville cannot get away from
the role and her friends say she car
ries about the same mannerisms and
voice on the street frequently, so thor
oughly has she become identified with
the role and the role with her.
Much of the popularity of isis Hop
kins" as a play is due to the last act.
Her efforts to bring back the totter-
ing mind Of her old father by singing
the song he loved and wearing the out
landish garb he knew her in as a
country lass are but cheap theatrics,
yet in such hands they rise to higher
heights.
And they bring in the shekels.

Property Is Rising


Property has already risen on
Twelfth street 25 per cent by such pro-
posed opening, and should it now be
defeated there will be a depression by
reason Of the reaction.
THE protestants are making capital
out of the allegation that there is to be
a street car line run down the street,
and cry heavy assessments. and hold
up the boyle man of corporation to de-
feat 1t, that they may refile their petit
tion and have it opened crooked, upon
which we would pay as much and the
benefit be nothing except to those few
who conceived the crooked plan that
they might gain corners by such OPEN
ing.
There is no railroad contemplated on
Twelfth street, as there is one on
both Eleventh and Pico. and should the
railway interests desire one upon
Twelfth they would have put 1t on long
ago and gone around the closed blocks,
as to go around the block would not be
as expensive as 1t will for the railroads
to pay their assessments on the opening
of the streets.
