TO BUILD BRIDGES
OUT OF REVENUE
coUNcILMEN OPPOSE PAYING
WITH BOND MONEYS
Rumored That Grade Crossing Steel
Span Is DETERMINE ID on Over
Los Angeles n .er at
Seventh Streki

| The council has definitely determined
that the new bridges must ID ;iilt out o
the city revenues rather tina await
bond issue. --y-a-~ss--,
| Councilman Dromgold, who is member
of the finance committee and chairman OF
| the bridge committee, said so; and In this
view he is carrying out the belief of most
of the members who are averse to any
more bond issues in the near future.
Councilman Blanchard, who is also on
the bridge committee, has returned to the
city from his vacation and he has again
looked into the status of the bridge situa-
ton.
Special interest centers in the Seventh
street bridge which, when finished. will
add another crosstown trolley line to the
city's electric facilities and open up much
east end territory.
--latest tidings concerning this bridge is
that the bridge committee has practically
decided that the only way to get bridge
soon is to build a grade bridge-a step
which, many say, will meet with general
opposition. None of the large cities are
permitting grade crossings at steam rail-
road and electric road functions any
longer because of the great death and
injury record which these crossings make
Said one of the councilmen yesterday:
while we prefer an elevated bridge
over the Los Angeles river we have met
opposition among the nearby property
owners who do not want to pay the extra
cost. 1t may mean litigation and will
delay the bridge indefinitely.
I'VE hope there will be some way out
of 1t, but 1 see none now.
I'VE are trying to do our best for the
Seventh street bridge because thousands
of people want it built quickly. The
quickest way will be the grade way
Other interests are active in wanting the
bridge over Las Pesos creek built This
is known as the death dip bridge. A con-
ference was held a few days ago between
railroad and city officials and property
owners to see how the cost of the needed
property shall be divided.
The bridge department of the city enc
gineer's Office has it's work well in hand.
Chairman Dromgold states.

CHINESE POLICEMAN
LATEST INNOVATION
DEPARTMENT HAS PLAN TO
GUARD CHINATOWN
FIamn1er Believes Tong Wars Gould
Be Averted by Information That
Celestial Could Secure in
Advance

Los Angeles may soon have a Chinese
policeman.
This innovation is now being consid'
cred by Acting Chief of Police Pau
Flammer, and If his suggestion meets
with favor by the board of police COM
missoners, it is probable Los Angeles
will soon have the distinction OF being
the only city in the United States with
representative or the Celestial elnpiAe
on it's police force.
The latest developments in the local
Chinatown have impressed the officials
of the department with the fact that the
district has not been policed in the prop
er manner, and that 1t Is advisable TO
take precautions without delay and be
prepared should tong war start In re-
atty.
At present the police are compelled to
rely solely on information which IS
brought them by white spies in their
employ.
Several of these men have lived in
Chinatown for years and have gained
the confidence of the silent inhabitants
of the district, yet even they at present
find it almost impossible to gain infor-
nation which is of value to the police.
Had there been Chinese policeman
connected with the force we would proba-
bly, have known of the arrival of Ratchet
men from San Francisco several days be-
fore we did," said a police official last
night, "but as it was we knew nothing
about them until after the assault on
Chan Mon"
Would Know Tong Matters
If Chief Planners suggestion is taken
up and a Chinese added to the force 1t
would be possible for him to be familiar
with the intentions of the tongsmen and
their sympathiZers.
All facts he learned could be reported
to his officers and in this way the de-
partment could be prepared for any opt
break which might occur.
Frequently Chinese who are unable to
speak English are arrested and taken to
court, and it is then necessary to delay
court matters until an interpreter is
found.
If a Chinese who understood English
were added to the force he could be used
as court interpreter during these cases.
Fees for Chinese interpreters frequent
" amount to as much as $50 a month in
the police courts, and this sum could be
saved the city if a Chinese policeman
were on the force.
On July 20 and 30 an examination for
patrolmen will be held, and 1t is probable
some resident of the Chinese colony will
be among the candidates for a position.
Chief Flammer does not contemplate
having any difficulty arranging matters
with the police commissioners, and If a
Chinese capable of passing the examina-
ton can be found a former citizen of
China will soon be wearing a star as a
member of the local force.

STREET BUREAU WANTS
ORDINANCES REC0NCILED
AUDITOR DlSLIKES CHECKING UF
CONFLICTING LAWS
chanues and Adjustments in Depart
ment Are Recommended but
Finance Committee Will Be
First Consulted

The bureau of street maintenance ano
inspection, having clashed with the CITY
auditors office over technicalltles III tls
laws has asked the council TO remedy
the defects. III
Discussing the situation, d. K. Ed,
wards of the board of public WORKS saio
yesterday:
"The changes from the present ordi-
nance are very few, but new ORDINANCES
is necessary at this time on account OF
conflict in two instances. One inspector
of excavations is now working under q
special ordinance. A machinist at the
street corral is also working under a spe-
cial ordinance. The city auditor thinks
these ordinances are in conf1ict Win tne
present ordinance No. l5,ooI, ana ina
those ordinances should be annulled ano
these offices put in the general orol-
nance of the street department.
Because of Changed Laws
ST have made small addition TO the
number of laborers. This Is mace neces-
sarv because of the change in the man
ner of street sweeping. Prior to July
street sweeping was done by contract
the contractor furnishing the men To
gather the street sweepings. The new
contract is on the per diem basis and the
contractor furnishes only the machines
and wagons, the city to furnish the men
to pile up the sweepings.
~ have added to the number OF dr1v-
ers in the garbage department. The fire.
ouent change of drivers necessitates hav-
ing two or three men ready to take other
mems places who are going to quit, the
new driver having to go at least one day
with the old one in order to learn the
route. In this case, as In that OF the
laborers and teams, it is not contem-
plated that all will be at work at the
same time. Some leeway is necessary
and the department will use only such
as we have to- but some margin is re-
ouired that the number used may not
exceed the number provided for in the
ordinance which gives trouble to the
auditor in checking up.
1.-THE changes will not add materially
if any, to the general running expenses
of the department, as several places in
the department are not being filled al
present.
sit is my Judgment and that of the
board that there are several changes ano
adjustments which ought to be made in
this department, and in several instances
men are not getting enough money fol
the work they are doing and the respon.
sibility they have. But for the present
stress in the citys finances we woul6
recommend these changes now, but hope
to take 1t up with your finance com
mittee later in the fall and when mat
tiers are easier.
II call your attention to the fact thai
my report to the city auditor showed
that his department had kept within its
appropriation last year. showing a small
balance in the several funds. I also cal
your attention to the relatively large
credit in the oil fund. This is not q
surplus, but is the balance to pay for oil
which is contracted for and is now being
applied"

heny at the hearing of his application,
this assessment grew was a complicated
one, involving the transfer of large tracts
of land in the republic of Mexico, together
with stock in several corporations organ
lied under the laws of different states.
According to Mr.. Doheny's testimony
the land and stock were transferred, but
not until after the first Monday in March
of this year was 1t determined whether
he would receive in return therefor stock
in the Mexican Petroleum company, Ltd,
of Delaware, or other land in the repub-
lie of Mexico.
Involves Eleven Millions
about March 10, 1907, some stock was
issued to him in the latter corporation
and at the date of his examination before
your honorable board he had received
stock the par value of which was abou
| 81, zoo, 900. Other stock is yet due to him
MANY other facts were brought out
but lit is not necessary to review then
here. Suffice it to say that there was NJ
testimony to show that the assessment
of solvent credits should be sustained
The evidence did not disclose facts suf
ficient to justify an assessment of solvent
credits.
"In my examination of Mr.. Doheny
enOedVOTeu TO dSCerLdlI WHelHeI Tie ldCtS
would warrant assessing him for assets
other than solvent credits, growing out
of the same transaction, so that he
might be cited to show cause why such
property should not be assessed to him.
IF any assessable property was re-
ceived by him, however, it was not re-
ceived until March 10, 1907 and there
after, and therefore could not be taxed
during the current year.
No Criticism for Mallard
mo criticism should attach to the city
assessor for making this assessment
Mr. Doheny was cited o~appear before
the assessor and was examined at great
length by the latter touching the trans
action above mentioned.
1.-THE transcript of his testimony given
before the assessor was submitted to me
prior to the hearing before your honora-
BILE body, and in my opinion the assessor
was justified in making the assessment,
as the statement was very indefinite and
in many particulars did not coincide with
the evidence given before the board OF
equalization.
''It was the duty of the assessor, in
view of the testimony given before him,
to place this item on the assessment roll
'I advice that the petition be granted
and the assessment Cancelled"
