COUNCIL DEFERS
BOND ELECTION
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION is
DISCUSSED
Committee of the Whole Will Go Over
the Owens Valley Question
Once More Before
Reporting

{ Owens river bond election matters
were set back a week by the action of
the city council yesterday in referring
the proposed resolution of intention to
the committee of the whole.
This committee meets next Saturday
morning.
City Attorney Hewitt presented the
resolution, stating that it was neces-
sary legal step before the bond election
could be held.
The resolution was as follows:
II submit herewith draft of an ordi-
nance determining that the public in
terest and necessity demands the ac-
qusition and construction by the city
of Los Angeles of a certain revenue
producing municipal improvement, to-
wit, waterworks for supplying the in
habitants of the city of Los Angeles
with water from the owens river valley
in the state of California, including the
acquisition of land, water rights, rights
of way and other property and the con-
struction of aqueducts, bitches, canals,
tunnels, reservoirs and other works
necessary therefor.
"I also submit resolution accompany
ing said ordinance relating to the same
subject.
II recommend the adoption of the
ordinance and also the passage of the
resolution"
Councilman Dromgold moved refer
ence and the action was concurred in.
Next Monday the election will probably
be called.

SIGNS BILL AIMED
At NON-PART|SANS
New Law Provides for Test of Party
FeaIty, but "Jokers" by Bosses
Orders Are Not
Feared

Attention of M. Lissner, secretary
of the non-partisan city committee,
which played an important part in the
last municipal campaign, last night
was called to the signing by the gov
ernor of the Sanford primary election
bill, which adds a single section to
the primary election law, providing
that political parties may prescribe a
test for voters in the form of a resolu-
ton filed at the time of filing the pc
tition for place on the primary off,
cial ballot.
General supposition has been that the
bill is aimed particularly at the nom
partisans of Los Angeles city and
county. and that it's provisions will en-
able the managers of political ma
chimes, by applying severe tests Of party
fealty, make it unpleasant for those
who deserted to the non-partisan
camps during the last campaigns.
Mr.. Lissner said he understood that
several such bills were introduced, but
that they CID not in the least disturb
the non-partisans, who could not be
frightened by such "jokers," framed by
the orders of party machine bosses, and
that the non-partisans would be in the
field again in the next campaign, con-
fident of even greater success than that
which resulted from their efforts in the
last election.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
ANSWERS SUNSET JEWELLERS

Petition No. 265 from the Sunset
Boulevard Improvement association ct
al, was returned to the council yes
terday with a report that as to the
grading of Echo Park avenue, between
Sunset boulevard and Scott street, the
board of public works is doing every
thing in its power to hasten the i'm
proVement of this street, but the wet
weather has undoubtedly delayed the
contractor very much in this work.
He has agreed to push the same as fast
as possible.
With reference to the paving of Lake
Shore avenue and Second street the
board reports that this work has been
ordered and will be taken up by the
city engineer as soon as possible.
AS to the Improvement of Reservoir
street, from Alvarado stree to Sunset
boulevard, the same was ordered by
the board some time ago and sent to
the city engineers office and instead
of slumbering in innocuous desuetude,
as stated in the said communication,
has been placed on file by the city en-
gineer, who will take the question up
just as soon as he has finished other
work which was previously ordered.

THE STATE FOOD LAW

Only one cause Of regret follows a
reading of the California pure food bill,
which has just been signed by the gov
ernor. It does not become fully opera
tive until the first day of next year
It provides, however, that no foods
shall be manufactured In violation Of
the act after next July 1.
Taken in connection with the national
pure food law, the state act probably
Is the most important bit Of legislation
ever recorded in California. 1t is OF the
broadcast scope in its application be-
cause It affects every man, woman and
child in the state. It's purpose is to
secure complete freedom from injurious
doctoring of all commodities intended
for the human stomach.
The new law goes much further, in
fact, than the protection Of the public
from harmful authorizations. 1t will
also have the important effect Of pre-
venting fraudulent practices on the part
of manufacturers that do not involve
considerations of health. That is, the
penalties attached to the law relate 10
foods so mixed or packed as to reduce
the food value, quality, purity or
strength.
The sharp competition among manu-
facturers of food preparations, in re-
cent years, has led to various devices
ing the value of the goods at the mini
mum of cost. Any such practice, after
the new law becomes effective, will ren-
der the offender liable to maximum PEN
alties of $500 fine and six months i'm
prisonment
Although the state pure food law will
not be operative until next January l,
the days of food adulteration in Cali
fornia are nearly ended. The federal
law, which will become fully effective
next July, provides for the stoppage at
once of traffic between states in i'm
pure foods. All such products that
come to California thereafter will bear
the stamp Of purity, and competing
manufacturers here will have to give
equal assurance of purity in order to
sell their goods.
The vigorous measures taken by the
federal authorities to enforce the food
laws will be supplemented no doubt, by
similar activity on the part of our own
officials. Such action will convince all
makers of commodities affected that it
will be the part of wisdom to comply
with the law fully and promptly.
The operation of both the federal and
state laws will be of very wide applica-
ton, as the word food" is made to
cover a great range of products. For
instance, all drinkable products are
classed as foods, and so are candies,
confections, condiments, etc. A sepa-
rate act of the Legislature also provides
for bringing authorizations of drugs
within the scope of the pure food act.
1t soon will be possible for Califor-
mans to do their eating and drinking
without suspicious and misgivings
about what is going into their
stonachs.

BRICK VERSUS CONCRETE

The controversy between brick and
concrete interests in building con-
struction seems to be interminable. 1t
was supposed to have been settled a
few months ago by an ordinance of the
city council, after a long and acri-
monious wrangle, but it has bobbed up
again with renewed energy.
The main point at issue between the
rival interests seems to border on the
ridiculous, as it appears from a disin-
terested standpoint. The brickmakers
contend that the ordinance in question
is unfair to them because, as argued
I'VE cannot compete against an eight
inch concrete wall with a seventeen
inch brick wall" Hence the brick men
want the ordinance modified "to either
increase the thickness of concrete walls
to that of brick, or be fair in the mat
ter and reduce the thickness of brick
walls to that of concrete"
But why should the progress of
building in Los Angeles be made de-
pendent on the rivalry of parties in
terested in different methods of con-
struction? The matter at issue be-
tween the parties should be determined
by the judgment of experts who are
thoroughly competent to determine the
relative merits of brick and concrete.
The primary object to be attained is
provision for walls that shall be alb
solutely safe against any strain to
which they may be subjected That is
easily determinable by means familiar
to all capable civil engineers. If an
eight-inch or five-inch concrete wall
answers every purpose of safety, should
owners of buildings be subjected to
additional expense because the brick
men cannot successfully compete?
The Los Angeles brick industry is an
important one, but the progress of
building in general Is even more i'm
portant. Any enactment calculated to
compel owners to pay more than is
necessary for wall construction, in fair
competition, would be in the nature of
a subsidy to one class at the expense
of owners of buildings.
In these days of extraordinary prices
in every line of building construction,
and when such prices are interfering
greatly with the progress of building,
there should at least be a fair field
| and no favor" as between diverse in
terests.

HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
BEARS STRIKING RESEMBLANCE
TO THE MYSTERIOUS RAFFLEs
BY THE EAvEsDRoPPEn

whats the matter with these people?
Have they all gone crazy?"
The remark was made by Benjamin j.
Wigton of Philadelphia, when he regis
tered at the Angelus last night. There
was good reason for his query. A man
was peering at him from behind pill
lar; three men seated on nearby
settee were watching him closely from
behind the shelter of their newspa pers.
Every bell boy in the hotel had gathered
in the corridor, and MIR. Wigton was the
center of their fascinated gaze.
Mr.. Wigton is clean cut young east
erner of a decidedly metropolitan APP
pearance and bearing, and he couldn't
understand why he should attract so
much attention. He looked carefully
at his clothes; they were immaculate
and above criticism.
what am 1 up against?" he asked
the clerk. The clerk could not answer.
Several men strolled in through the
doorway, casting sidelong glances at
Mr.. Wigton, as they pretended to be
studying the frescoes.
lis this some kind of a private foolish
house I've butted into?'' again asked
the young man.
The two Japs who polish the brass
work on the elevators stood transfixed
like two bronze images, staring at the
new guest.
Aren't my clothes cut right, or have
one too many buttons on my vest?"
asked the young man in desperation.
Perhaps my cuff buttons are out of
date"
That's the gink all right" said a
Western Union boy, who had come in
with bunch of kilograms.
would you please be kind enough to
tell me who or what L am or supposed
to be?" said Wigton appealingly to the
clerk. For answer the clerk pushed a
copy of the morning Herald across the
desk. The guests legs almost gave way
underneath him and he grasped the edge
of the desk for support. Flashed up in
the middle of the first page were two
rogue's gallery pictures, which unmis-
takably were his likenesses, with a full
Bertillon description.
Mr.. Wigton's distinction is to have a
face, both in profile and in front view
almost the exact counterpart of that of
The Mysterious Mr.. Raffles, of the Los
Angeles Herald. He explained the re-
semblance to the disappointed crowd
and sought the shelter of his room.
Late last night Mr.. Wigton called up
Mr.. Carruthers, manager for The Mys-
terious Mr.. Raffles, and implored him
to call off the crowd.

DELAY ACTION
ON HOSPITAL
HEARS MINORITY
REPORT
COUNCIL
Republicans Consent to Weeks Delay
After City Attorney Rules That
only Three Constitute
the Committee

After much heated debate the city
council yesterday permitted Council
man Lyon to read the minority report
of the receiving hospital committee, but
took no action.
Chairman Wren of the committee was
ready to make a report, but as Coun-
Gilman Wallace, his colleague, was de-
layed by washouts, he asked further
time to get his signature.
This the Republicans were reluctant
to grant, saying that there had been a
six weeks delay. Chairman Pease ex-
planned that the trouble arose over the
fact that after a regular council ses-
sion with all members but Wren pres
ent, he had added the names of Coun-
cilmen Clampitt and Yonkin to the
committee, but that this action was
probably illegal.
Hewitt Settles Point
City Attorney Hewitt here decided
that only three legally constituted the
committee.
Examination of the minutes showed
that no regular session was in progress
when the two Republicans names
were added, hence only Wren, Wallace
and Lyon constituted the committee.
Councilman Healy wanted the re-
port to stand and the committee dis
charged, but it was finally decided to
let the whole question lay over week
after the Lyon minority report.
During the debate the resignation Of
DR.. Smith, one of the surgeons, was
announced, which simplifies the stu
alton, as DR.. Freedman has also an
nounced his intention of resigning.
l. The Lyon report was as follows:
Minority Recomn1en
1--WE. your committee, appointed to
investigate the conditions, beg to sub
NIT the following report:
I'VE find that the place now occu-
pied as a receiving hospital is i'm
properly located, the same being in the
building where the city Jail is located,
and that the rooms are dark and
cramped, insanitary, inadequate and
unfit for the work required.
1--WE find that the appliances are in
adequate and insufficient for the
work.
1--WE find that TRUSTEES in the city
Jail are acting as nurses.
1--WE find that there is no adequate
and proper ambulance sufficient for
the work required and we make the
following recommendations:
THAT quarters be secured in To-
cation convenient to police headquar-
ters and that the same be properly
fitted up and equipped.
"That portion of the room now oc-
cupied be retained as a part of the
receiving hospital for the use of crimi-
nails and prisoners.
Would Drop TRUSTEES
"That the services of TRUSTEES be en-
tirely dispensed with and instead
thereof that two trained surgical
nurses be employed.
"That the city purchase an ambu-
lance to be used for hospital purposes
only.
That two chief surgeons be appointed
to be on call twelve hours each.
THAT two assistant surgeons be ap-
pointed to be- on duty twelve hours
each.
1--WE believe that if the above recon-
mendations are adopted and carried
out the conditions at the receiV-
ing hospital will be greatly improved,
and that satisfaction in a large meas
ure can be expected of said service"
