The annual report for the year was
presented, showing that the total num-
ber of patients received at the hospital
was 1882, and that of these 106 We're
free patients and 81 semi-free patients.
Therefore more than 1919 per cent OF
the patients treated at the hospital
were treated wholly, or in part, gratu-
itously. In the case of the free patients
the hospital is enabled. through the
courtesy of some of the leading ply
sicians and surgeons in the city not only
to furnish room, board and nursing
without charge but also the services of
the physician or surgeon.
The total amount received by the hos
pital of the Good Samaritan from earn
ings during the year was $50, O,O36.52 The
value of the services rendered without
charge was $7737,57, being more than
12lA per cent of the total earnings. The
hospital aims to use it's net earnings in
caring for those who are, through mis-
fortune, unable to provide care and
treatment for themselves. and In i'm
proving the hospital plant. Last year
220 physicians and surgeons treated
cases at the hospital.
During the year the hospital has re-
ceived several donations. which have
enabled 1t to improve the plant and
pay off existing obligations. Mrs. r. II.

PATR0LMAN GETS
BOARD WHITEWASH

The police board finally reinstated
T. M. Kristovich as patrolman yester-

his resignation from the force
Kristovich was accused of accepting
gifts from certain women and dropped
from the force February 5, 1906 though
he then denied the charges and has
ever since maintained his innocence.
He has become prominent among his
former countrymen here and asked for
reinstatement simply to clear the rec

OFFICIALS CHECK
OWENS OUTLAY
NON PARTlSANS' INQUIRIES
ANSWERED
City Attorney Declares Pending
Amendments viii Not Hurt Sale
of Aqueduct Bonds-Funds
All Safeguarded

Councilmen Wallace and Dromgold
have addressed letter to City Attor-
ney Hewitt asking him to construe cer-
tain features of the law amendment
governing the Owens river aqueduct
oversight and construction in relation
to the powers of the board of public
works now pending in the Legislature.
1t has been awaiting Mr. Hewitt's ac-
tion since last Friday and has been on
his desk with his other mail until his
return from Sacramento.
The concluding paragraph of the in
quiry contains the meat of the letter,
namely:
"Is 1t the intention of said proposed
amendments to take from the regularly
elected city officials such as council
men, city attorney and city auditor all
or nearly all the business and the re-
sponsibility relating to the owens river
aqueduct and all real estate purchases
and other business relating thereto and
to place the same in the hands of a
board of three men who are appointed
at the pleasure of the mayor?"
Non-partisans are endeavoring to
show that in creating the office of dis
bursting agent all power of expenditures
rests largely with him and the check is
but a slight one. the bills merely pass
ing through the city auditors hands
If he rejects any item the board of
public works needs only to certify them
to the city treasurer and they pass over
the auditors head
The object of the inquiry is under
stood to be to offset a possibility
(Which nom -partisans say exists Of
failing to find a ready market for the
bonds because of the immense power
welded by three men, who are ap-
pointees Of the mayor, in expending
millions.
"These features We're all discussed
before the amendments were drawn
up" said Mr.. Hewitt last night. II
think the objections are not we'll
founded.
"The same strict check is kept on
Owens expenditures as on the board Of
education and the library board. The
council has a say so, too.
THE amendments TO the charter be-
fore the legislature provide CD for sal
aries for engineers, (2) for a disbursing
agent, (S) for civil service, and (D for

SUES AGED MOTHER
TO RECOVER MONEY

j, A. Baxter, rancher living near
Monrovia, yesterday began suit for re-
covery of $500 which he alleges he
loaned his aged mother and which she
failed to pay back.
Mrs. e. M. Baxter is over so years of
age and so feeble that she can hardly
walk.
Her son alleges that some time ago
when his mother needed money he
loaned her 5000, and that he has paid
most of her bills for several years past.
He further alleges that his brother, w.

The civil service commission spent an

The commission decided that appli-
cants may take one or more exami-

will be held on different dates for that
purpose.
The object is to enable those quail
