Council Refers Problem Presented by
Fire Commissioners to Legislative
Committee to Consider
Relief Measure

One of the vital questions before the
legislative committee of the city coun-
ell is the proposed ordinance to IN
crease the limit of distillate tanks
from 200 to 500 gallons. The present
limit in Los Angeles is so small that
apartment houses and large buildings
cannot store enough distillate 10 keep
steam up over Sunday.
The question came up recently be-
fore the board of fire commissioners
but no representative of that body ap-
peared in the council yesterday to ex-
plain the provisions and their bearing
on present insurance policies hence
action was deferred.
Councilman Wren, who is an insur-
ance agent said the committee should
take into account the clause OF exist
ing policies which specify 200 gallons
as the maximum amount permissible
President Pease remarked that any
one could readily see that 200 gallons
was too small for the needs of today
and he hoped to see the change made.

Council Rejects Protest of Owner, Sick
In Bed, on Statement That
Structure Will Be
Reared

II the council persists in it's course
by an ordinance passed yesterday an
alley will be constructed through
Dreamland skating rink.
Some time ago when the plan of run
ming an alley from Tenth to Eleventh
streets, between Main and Los An
geles street, was proposed the st. Louis
Amusement company filed a protest.
Yesterday this protest came up for
hearing and attention was called to the
fact that the owner of the rink was
sick in bed. The council rejected the
protest
Frank Hicks appeared before the
council stating that clients wished to
put up big building on Main street
at once and they wanted to know what
the prospects We're for such an alley.
Bids for the work are to opened today.
This latter statement Influenced the
councilmen i'm deciding to open the
alley, they afterward stated.

DOCTORS PULL
COUNCIL WIRES
POLICE SURGEON ORDINANCE
LAID OVER
Factions Divided on Whether to Name
One or Four Chief Officers
for the Receiving Hos
pltal

Lively politics has cropped out IN the
proposed government of the receiving
hospital, and the controversy resulted
in the city council yesterday once more
postponing the police surgeon ordinance
another week.
Three or four of the councilmen have
friends in the medical profession who
are pulling this way and that Never
was there such scrambling for four pro-
fessional plums as in this case.
1t is largely question of precedence
One faction favors one chief surgeon
with three assistants; another prefers
to have different surgeons in full con-
troll of the hospital at different hours,
thus giving them equal authority.
Out of this latter practice all of the
criticism heaped on the institution has
arisen, say heads of the police depart
ment. 1t has brought discord in the
management, kept relatives away from
the bedside of loved ones because of
ignorance of sad tidings, has resulted
in suffering and death to the patients
and permitted the custom of using con-
valescents and others without any med
ical equipment to serve as "trusty'
nurses.
Councilman Wren leads the element
in the council which wants one chief In
full control who will draw $3.50 monthly
and be ION CALI always, and three as
sistants, one of whom must always he
at the hospital. Their pay will be $1O0
month and their work will be divided
into three watches of eight hours each.
Some weeks ago Councilmen Wren
and Blanchard, with Dromgold assist
ing, drew up the present ordinance, but
influences have delayed 1t. Next Mon
day vigorous effort will be made to
pass the measure.

WILL WIDEN
MAIN STREET
Council Provides for Fine Wide Thor
oughfare from Ninth Street South
to Thrty-Seventh--Others
Camorine, Too

Main street will be widened to 100
feet as a result of the act of the city
council yesterday. This provided only
for the section from Ninth street south
to Thirty-seventh. but as the district
south has already been provided for 1t
insures wide stretches of thoroughfare
for one of the busiest streets in Los
Angeles. The newly widened district
is one in which property has been freely
changing hands.
Judge Mckinley, who owns property
on Main street, was one of those who
appeared to help hasten action on the
measure.
The present width is 80 feet, which,
when changed, will give a fine vista
as far as Thirty seventh street. where
the wide strip will end.
Maple avenue residents also filed a
petition to widen their street from 60 to
80 feet.

yesterday afternoon before an enthusi-
astic audience at the Ebell club
Mr.. Baumgardt is an authority on
that subject, as he just returned from
Russia in December and while there
made a deep study of the country.
Yesterday he treated more extensively
of the past history of the country, its
wars, generals, czars and topogra ply
than he did of it's present conditions.
He described ST. Petersburg and it's
great buildings particularly. He said:
Russia is passing through a great
revolution in trying to adjust itself
and has had many misfortunes, and as
far as l can see it has a great many
more sorrows to go through with before
It will have established itself upon firm
ground"

LABORERS' CHARGE AGAINST
AN EMPLOYMENT AGENT

The recent complaints lodged against
Crowley's employment agency by
Slavs terminated in a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses being
placed against Crowley yesterday.
TIE particular complaint has been
that he has taken fees ranging from 50
to SIS from unsuspecting laborers with
a promise to secure them steady en-
ployment at one or another of the min
ing camps in Nevada. After making
numerous trips to the railroad station,
where Crowley is said to have led the
men to believe he had a special car for
their transportation to the camps, the
men returned to the employment office
and demanded their money returned.
This Crowley refused to do, claiming
that the men had missed the train.
