THINGS TAXED ABOUT.

Colonel George.G Green has written the

PASADENA, CAL, Feb, 25, 1907
Mr.. Hanthorn has written me concern
ing the Manley lot for school purposes. The
LOB is, without question the one favored BY
those taxpayers who are acquainted with
the lot, but it has never been properly ex
planned to the conservative people 1t is
as dry, free from water, as any property in
Woodbury., has natural drainage, is about
three times as large, can open into -four
streets in opposite directions, and would
cost half the price Of any other los avail
able. 1t can be used for Public and High
School both, and is worth double the
amount asked for it. AS the largest tax
payer favor that lot. have no personal
interest 10 it, and the owner don't care
about selling isfor school purposes. It is
worth double that amount to him to keep
il, and he thinks school children would
run all over his other property, but outside
of the Matlack lot it is the only choice,
and any other owner would ask double the
price. We would sell half Of it at S. 800
It would save taxpapers thousands Of
dollars =

RUSTY TIN BOX
HELD FORTUNE IN
GOLD AND BONDS

Cleveland. May 17.--Erie railroad bonds
worth s116,740 and 1915 in blackened gold
coins were found yesterday when the
rusted tin box which Contractor B. W.
Hollingsworth recently unearthed In the
ruins OF the century old Ohio City inh
was forced open.
The original owner Of the treasure was
George G. Moan. who mysteriously dis
appeared I'm 1874. A heap of charred
bones was found several days before the
box was dug up by Hollingsworth In a
bricked-in fireplace. now seems 70 sub
stantlate the theory that Moran was
murdered
The Erie Railroad company tired to find
the bonds during the years from 1876 20
1879 Many newspapers carried advertise
ments for the lost bonds. Originally they
had a par value of $4,000. Accumulated
interest. dividends and market rises have
brought their value UP to sttt,Ttt.
Because he was to have all the materiai
in the building as compensation for tear
ing il down, Hollingwortp claimed the
entire contents of the box.
He finally, however. compromised with
the present owner OF the property and
dividend the gold with him. The bonds
have been placed in the custody of Unit
ed states Judge Taylor. who will hold
them for five years During that time
a search will be made for Moran's heirs.
II any are living II none is found the
bonds will revert TO Hollingsworth. II "A
claimant turns up the contractor VIII get

POLICE BOARD
DETERMINED TO
STOP SCORCHING

Chairman William III. Luther Of the
notice commission made II plain 10 visi-
tors today that he d.d not intend TO m
terfere with the enforcement OF the
speed ordinances.
since the police have begun crusade
against scorching there has been no
ticeable diminution OF reckless auto
driving in the centre OF the city, but on
the outskirts. particularly along Broad
street and out toward Pawtucket avenue,
there has been a tendency 10 "let her
TO" THIS has resulted IN the apprehen-
sion and fining Of a number OF automo-
bile owners. or their chauffeura ana In
deluging the commissioners with re-
quests TO "let up" on the arrested par
ties
II has not been possible 10 do this, how
ever, in any case, because, according 10
Chairman Luther 1--WE cannot make fish
OF one and flesh OF another Many Of my
fellow club members are automobile own
ers, and would naturally be constrained
10 lean toward them when they get into
trouble for scorching or violating I'm any
way the ordinance I'm question; but what
am I 10 do? II we let up on one he'll
feel naturally so pleased over II that he
will want TO advertise the fact that we
did him a good turn, and when some OF
his friends are captured on the same
charge they VIII feel that we should let
up on them, too. IL we don't do IL we
shall be accused Of favoritism. and II
we do. what becomes Of the law--it is
a dead letter at once and there will be no
check upon reckless auto driving.
Is MILES TOO FAST.
"The fact is that we have not prose
cuted any complaints for fast driving
within the city limits unless the person
was exceeding 15 miles over the measured
courses. though the law permits presecu-
tion for a rate faster than six miles pei
hour in certain sections OF the city.
Enforcement OF the law Is naturally
embarrassing TO the commissioners. Al
OF us have friends and we hate to see
them in trouble. but II I let UP on mS
friends. Col. Gross friends would want
