careful study and an intimate knowledge
Of previous conditions and facts reveals
the confirmation of the opinion OF Dillon
and Hubbard as previously expressed
Mayor Farley wasted $500 for an opinion
which confirms one that had already cost
$500 and did not need confirming.
The case is similar in the report now
overdue from Prof. Corey. The city VIII
pay 5000 for a theoretical report when the
plant now in operation presents the IRE
futable figures of it's cost of operation
and efficiency. The Scattergood report
was as senseless an extravaganza, as 1t
has to he re- e-experted before. IL can be
convincing.
Three experts opinions have been or
dered at a cost of $1,000, and there is not
enough money to spend 1925 to string
wire to the Dakota street fire house or
for doing a number of other necessary
and essential things. and yet the citizens
were promised a business administration
If Farley was elected.
1t is now the expressed intention to ask
for bond issue for nearly 100000 to pay
for improvements made by the water
companies and as large an amount for
the extension of the commercial branch
of the lighting plant.
Favors Sale of Own Stock
The school board has been asked to wait
before 1t asks for bond issue for the
erection of schools admitted to be neces-
sary. and the fire department has been
refused bond issue of s35.00O necessary
for the proper protection of the city. so
that the mayor can sell his water stock
to the city and emarrass the lighting
plant for the benefit of the Edison Elec-
trio company.
Mayor Farley has been asked to allow
the lighting department to use the funds
on hand to complete the commercial de-
partment, which is already well under
way, it being the intention to anticipate
the revenue from commercial lighting to
take up the obligation. This course is
pursued by any conservative business
man, yet the business mayor can see no
merit In it,
One statement of Mayor Farley to The
Herald representative indicates very
plainly the danger in allowing him to
carry out his wishes in regard to buy
ing the water plants When asked how
he expected to get the plants without
a clear and unncumbered title, which
he admits cannot be delivered by the COM
panies without hdgation he answered
"Oh, we can get a title clear enough"
When the newspaper man replied that in
his mind there was a great difference be-
tween clear and "clear enough and
that the law required that a municipal
corporation could only accept "clear
and unincumbered title" to property, he
pleaded a pressure of other business and
dismissed the persistent newsgatherer.

PASADENA'S MAYOR HAS A
SCHEME
WILL IGNORE ADVICE OF BOND
EXPERTS
Not Particular About Clear Title, Just
So One "Clear Enough" to Carry
Through "Frame-Up" Is
Obtained
BY L. GEO. THOMPSON

Special % The Herald.
PASADENA, Nov. 6.-Despite the facts
that Dillon and Hubbard, the highest au-
thority on municipal bonds. have said
that the water bonds will not be valid
unless there is another vote of the peo-
pie and that the special report of Judge
Works confirms their opinion Mayor
Thomas Farley procaims his intention of
acquiring the plants under the present
proceedings if he can reach an agree
ment with the water companies.
Despite the fact that Mayor BARLEY said
in his campaign speeches and over his
signature in the papers that he was OPP
posed to buying the plants unless he
could get them at the original price
agreed upon and get the entire property
of the companies. he now says that he
intends to ask for a bond issue for ap-
proximately 100000 to pay the companies
for the improvements that they have
made in the past two years subsequent to
the election.
To express mildly what the present may
or and his campaign supporters said pre-
vious to the election, former Mayor Wa
terhouse was dilatory in the matter of
obtaining ownership of water, and yet
the present administration has made alb
solutely no material progress toward the
acquisition of the plants.
When asked by The Heralds represen-
tative what progress had been made
Mayor Farley jocularly said: why, we
are going right ahead and make an
agreement with the water companies and
take the plants, and that Is all there is
to it." but when he was pressed for a
serious answer he could only say that
things were encouraging.
Subsequent to that conversation he has
had a conference with the Lake Vine
yard directors and it is reported that they
will submit a proposition to the stock
holders for vote. Just what the propo-
sition to be submitted is has been re-
fused the papers.
Wastes Money on Legal Advice
At the time Mr.. Farley assumed the
office of mayor he had on file the corre-
spondence between Dillon and Hubbard
and the former city attorneys relative
to the water question and had a final
opinion setting forth the fact that new
vote was absolutely necessary before the
by them, yet he paid the sum of $500 of
the city's money to a Los Angeles at
torney whose opinion as against that of
Dillon and Hubbard would carry no
weight whatever with bond buyers. 1t
will be remembered that there was con-
siderable delay in the receipt of the
water report as there is in the receipt of
the lighting report. now overdue from
Prof. Corey.
1t required number of conferences be-
fore the water report could be framed to
convey the impression desired by the
mayor. and the language is such that only

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-The Citi-
zens state bank, one of the small finan-
cial institutions of San Francisco, closed
its doors today and announced through
its president and principal stockholder,
r. E. Ragland, that the bank has re-
signed from the clearing house and had
decided to suspend business until the

placed it's resources at $4,000.
At the close of business on July 81 last
the report made by the bank showed
resources of $19S,31517. Its liabilities at
that time in the form of deposits were
given at $135,S70.S1.
President Ragland said: "In justice to
the bank / found it necessary to close

continuance of the holidays. l found
with our money going out at the rate
II was on demand that unless conditions
changed for the better we would be
seriously embarrassed. We are perfectly
sound and if given two weeks will be
able to meet all liabilities we have out
standing"
The bank resigned from the Clearing
House association at the close of business
last MondaS afternoon.
Bankers throughout the city today re-
ported a decided improvement in the
financial situation. Growing confidence
was apparent and the banking business
was more brisk. The subtreasury was

No License Yet.

The grocers presented an or
dinance to the council, says Gar
den City Herald, asking that Ii
cense of SIS per day be placed on
people shipping in groceries by
the carload, but the council did
not take any action. 1t is under
stood that majority of the coun-
Gil are opposed to placing any IL
cense upon anybody who ships
groceries or any other article, and
it looks as tho the grocers would
have to grin and bear it the best
way they can. The grocers are
not the only ones who suffer from
this outside competition. On
Monday one agent sold about rs
corsets to the women Of the city,
and the same day printing
house representative admitted he
had sold good bills of printed
stuff to groceries and other busi-
ness houses, and had the gall to
tell US he didn't have to pay any
license, and that we could not
compete with his prices. The
Herald has the facilities for print
ing everything that goes out of
this city, but it is sad fact we
can't quite meet Topeka and St.
Louis because of our high rents,
labor bills, and freight charges,
and as we have no protection
against these outsiders, or against
the merchant who buys his print
ed stuff away from home because
he can save a few cents, all we
can do is to mingle our tears with
all who are in the same boat.
To the printer it seems
strange thing that the merchant
who orders part Of his printed
matter out of town because he
saves little, should become so
overheated when some of his Gus
toners follow his example.

Beets Are Showing Better.

There has been marked i'm
provement in the beet crop dur
ing the past thirty days, the
beets now being placed in silo
showing about the normal size.
The tonnage of the beets now be-
ing harvested runs from twelve to
twenty-five tons to the acre, and
the sugar percentage in them is
highly satisfactory. The fact
that the beets made such a mark
ed growth during the past month
seems to indicate that they were
immature when the campaign
opened, owing to the unusual
backwardness Of the past season,
and merely needed more grow
ing weather to attain their nor
NAL proportions. The Lamar
Sparks man says he has talked
with a large number of beet
growers during the past week,
and all of them stated that the
beets which had been left in the
ground to grow had increased
wonderfully in size, bringing the
tonnage up to total that would
show very good profit.
