Consul d. W. Williams at Cardiff says
the number of horses. which now average
one for every twenty-five Inhabitants, has
varied very little from 100000 for hf-
tson years, but the number exported for
all purposes rose from z7,sl2 IN 1901 to 47,7os
in 1906 and GO.A4 In 1906.
The exporting OF horses for breeding and
other purposes has been profitable for many
years, but the increase since 1901 is alto
gether due TO the trade in horse meat in
certain continental countries
This is apparent from the fact that only
1880 Of the number exported in 1906 were
valued at more than 500 each.

HARD BLOW TO POLICE FORCE
Ruling Of State Railway Commission OF
Street Car Passes Deprecated.
CHEF SAYS IT WILL PROVE SERIOUS
General Manager Smith Says the
Company Prefers to Have
Fircmen and Police
Ride Free.

General Manager Smith Of the Omaha &
Council Bluffs Street Railway company
says he has received no notice OF the ac-
ton Of the State Railway commission IN
ruling that It was illegal to haul policemen
and nremen free on the cars of the COM
pany in Omaha, but that he had taken the
matter up with j. L. Webster, attorney Of
the company. for an opinion
II am free to say we would sooner haul
the policemen free than not" said Mr..
smith I'VE never have q complaint of
trouble on car when policeman is on,
and We would sooner have them getting on
the cars for the short rides they take than
not. The fremen are In the same class"
Some years a law was passed making Il
Illegal TO give free transportation to city
ofhoals or employees. test case was made
in the matter OF fremen and policemen
and they were declared exempt by the dis
trict court OF Douglas county and per-
mitted to ride free. Since that time no
charge has been made for policemen or
hremen IN uniform.
VIII Cripple Police Force.
That the opinion OF the Railway commits
sion may result In seriously Gripping the
Omaha police force even beyond It's present
handicapped condition was Chief of Police
Donahus's statement when he read OF the
matter Friday morning.
1T would just knock the wind out OF the
force. said Donahue. Il think police ON
GERS should be carried without charge when
they are on duty. We have TO send officers
long distances and cannot expect them to
pay their own fares, nor that they shall
walk. And we have no funds with which to
pay the mems care fare, That officers
should be moved speedily is OF mutual BEN
ant 10 ALL and therefore think they should
be transported free.

DRAINAGE AND LIGHTING ARE
EXPENSIVE
THREE BIG STORM SEWERS ARE
PROPOSED
Special Engineer AIlln and City En-
glneer Van Ornum Make Report.
Scattergood Electrical Report
Presented to Council
Pasadena Agency.
n North Raymond Avenue,
Phones. Sunset 1901, Home 2i2A.

PASADENA, Aug 27.-With Electrical
Expert Ezra e. scattergood presenting a
report recommending an additional ex-
penditure of s2i5.OOO for enlargement and
extension of the municipal lighting plant
and Consulting Engineer T. d. Allin pre-
senting storm drainage plans calling for
the expenditure of S2S0,000 more, it is
possible that Pasadena citizens will have
use for all their spare change for some
years to come.
Three general drainage systems are
proposed by Allin and City Engineer S.
j. Van Ornum, which it is estimated will
take off all storm waters in the city.
The recommendations are for permanent
cement and stone and brick lined con-
duits.
First is recommended an underground
storm sewer extending from the San
Pasqual wash near Raymond hill
through the business portion of the city
to Pasadena avenue in the northwest
section. This is to be nine feet in di-
ameter at the mouth, three feet at the
upper end and is to be built of cement
with the lower quadrant lined with Wit
rifed brick. It's estimated cost is
S130, 900.
For the northeast section of the city
an open stone ditch is proposed to fol-
wash through that section. The cost of
this, exclusive of street culverts, is esti-
mated at 100000.
In the northwest section the conduit is
to run north to the junction of Pepper
street with the Salt Lake railway and
from there by route not yet selected
into the Lincoln avenue wash. This con-
duit will cost S50,000
Provision is made for the extension of
NI,n
grows.
Scattergood's report on electrical light
ing differs materially from the recon-
mendations of Superintendent Glass. His
estimate calls for an expenditure of
$4,000 more than that of Glass.
On account of Pasadena being dis
tributed over such a large territory in
proportion to population, he estimates
that 1t will cost cents kilowat to
produce the electric current at a profit
by the city and provide for retiring the
bonds. Glass report shows that the
present municipal system has been pro-
ducing electric current at a cost of
cents a kilowat.
Scattergood's report was not discussed
in council, but was referred along with
that of Glass, to the committee on cleo
trio lights and supplies, composed of
Councilmen E. R. Braley, C. j. Gran
dali and H. c. Hotaling They will re-
port on the subject at a future meeting

appeared from behind one of the build

for Mrs. Houck, who was nearest to
him. The woman screamed as the pleas

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Aug. 27.-Notwith-
standing the bitter opposition of many of
the foremost business men of Santa
Monica who were present at last nights
session of the city council to protest
against the calling of the proposed sewer
bond election the council unanimously
adopted a resolution of intention to call
the election, and instructed the city at
torney TO prepare the necessary papers.
At the head of the petitioners was w. l,
Hull president of the board of trade, who
vigorously voiced the opinion of the trade
organization that the voters would not
support the councils scheme to utilize
the sewage for irrigating purposes and
who emphatically charged the board mem
bers with sidestepping their duty in find
ing a practicable solution to the sewage
problem. The expense that the election
would necessitate, Mr.. Hull said, was un-
called for.
The plan of the council to raise $3.50, 900
to be diverted to the purchase of land
and the propagation of a grove of gum
trees to be nourished by the sewage
liquidated by septic tank treatment, is said
to have proved successful elsewhere.
Preceding their meeting last night the
council startled the community by clos
ing it's annual sitting as an equalization
board by raising the annual assessment
approximately 100000 after the figures
had been increased almost $1,00O,00O by the
city assessor.
During the day steady stream of tax
payers passed before the equalizers, some
of whom were allowed a modification Of
their taxes, but the vast majority of them
were not so fortunate
Tax Agent DeCamp of the Los Angeles
Pacific railway was one of the most irri.
tated of the protestants. He stated that
Santa Monica had the reputation of being
the most extravagantly governed city in
Los Angeles county, and the half million
dollars which the railway has invested
here, he claimed, was assessed beyond
reason.
When the new compilation has been
verified it is believed that the figures will
show a valuation of approximately $S,0OO,-
600 and that the tax rate will be between
$1.75 and s1.S0.
