The waist is made with the plain

PLAN ANOTHER RAID ON
CITYS RESERVE FUND
Various councIImen Who Helped
Ninth Warders Dip Into Treasury
Want Similar Privileges for
Their Constituents

Certain councilmen are talking about
making series of demands on the re-
serve fund which will put that segregated
money into circulation at once.
This amount has been set aside to tide
the city over during the summer months
when no taxes come in.
Councilman Blanchard has his $4,000
appropriation put through and the next
need will be workhouse or stockade.
AS only $4,000 remains in the general ex
pense fund $4,000 cannot be spent on the
the workhouse, as first intended.
Councilman Clampitt expects to get 5000
out of the fund to build the Echo park
sewer, he says.
Talk Is freely made now that as re-
ward for voting $4,000 for the Boyle
Heights sewers certain councilmen will be
rewarded by getting thousands devoted 10
their own bailiwicks.
AS the funds stand now no city employe
will probably get any pay during next
July, August and part of September.
Besides the $4,000 spent in Blanchards
ward $4,000 automobile and $4,000 for the
health cleanup force we're voted during
Chairman Wallace's absence.

QUICK ACTION KEEPS
MCLNERA7OR GOING
HOOKER DEMAND SATISFACTORY
ILY EXPLAINED
Oil Pump to Operate Public crema-
torium Was Urgently Needed
and Was Obtained Under
Emergency Clause
NaMbssrgsz.S IN! g! g!!!!!

1t the city officials had not purchased
an oil pump for the incinerator quickly
the municipality would have been forced
to get along without the public garbage
disposal plant
This explains the temporary mystery
as to how a requisition was pushed
through for the ]. d. Hooker COM
pany.
In reference to the demand of the
Hooker company for the pump the finance
committee of the city council has re-
ceived satisfactory explanation from
Clerk Bert L. Farmer of the supply
committee concerning the changed figures
in the de mand. The statement is:
Requests for bids on this pump were
mailed to three different firms as
required by the purchasing ordinance.
No quotations were given on the
Worthington pump aud l am un-
able to a, scertain the name of
the firm dealing in this particular
make.
l was informed that the Fairbanks
Morse pump would answer the pur-
pose and do the same work as the
Worthington pump of the same size;
quotation on the Fairbanks Morse
pump was $54 and was accepted by
the supply committee and approved
by the council, October IA, 1907.
This Fai banks Morse pump having
been delivered was found to be un-
satisfactory and would not fit other
machinery in use there; this fact was
reported to me and also the board of
public works and they were informed
by the enginee, at the incinerator
that the j. ID. Hooker company handles
the Worthington and that the incine-
rator would have to be closed unless
the oil pump was Immediately re-
placed.
then inquired of the J. D. Hooker
company concerning the price of the
required pump and was given a quo
tation of s62
After talking with Mr. Edwards on
this matter and also the engineer of
the incinerator it was decided that
this was necessary emergency pur-
chase and | was therefore requested
by Mr.. Edwards to arrange for the
immediate delivery of said pump.
Inspector of Public Works d. K.
Edwards added:
hereby certify that this is
true statement of the facts in
this case and request that the diff
ference between s54 and $62 ($S) be
approved as to emergency.
