SCHOOL BONDS ENDORSED
BY MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
Executive Committee Passes Resolu-
tons Declaring Growth of City
Renders Construction of Build
ings imperative

The executive committee of the Mu-
nicipal league has passed resolutions
imdorsing the issue of school bonds.
The resolutions are as follows:
LAS the welfare of this city depends
largely on the condition of its public
schools and the hearty support and
encouragement with which the COM
munity stands behind them, and since
the population, which has grown from
100000 in 1900 to 302, 900 in 1908, is under
obligation to make corresponding pro-
vision for its children:
"Inasmuch as the high schools which
now exist are overcroWded to a dis
tressing and dangerous degree, and
students have been compelled to stand
i'm line all night to get chance to reg
lister in them, and consequently a new
high school is imperatiVely needed just
as soon as it can be built:
And inaSmuch as new elementary
schools are an absolute necessity in
several of the more rapidly growing
quarters of the city school district;
Nov, therefore, be it resolved, That
the Municipal league of Los Angeles,
expressing its appreciation of school
work and school accomplishments, and
its confidence in the judgment and eff
cheney of the board of education and
it's officers and teachers in charge of
the schools, most heartily indorses the
bond issue of $240 10000 for elementary
schools and $4S0000 for high schools
on which the board of education has
called the people to vote January 6
next, and that we urge the support of
these measures by our fellow citizens

plunged into the building, where he
saw the frightened animal covering
in the corner farthest from the flames,
utterly refusing to come out to safe
place.
The fire surrounded Saults, while en-
hers from the roof, carrying live Goals
and flames, continuously dropped on
his head and neck After making a
hasty but Intellectual attempt to rescue
the dog, Saults beat a retreat to the
outside, where he procured a heavy
blanket, with which he protected his
head and body. Again entering the
building he was enabled to reach the
collie, and this time he took the trem-
bling pet in his arms and carried it out
of the blazing building. The blanket
was afire in several places, but Saults
did not receive any burns on his second
trip in the building, all of his burns
being inflicted in his first hurried en-
deavors.
Saults speaks lightly of his act of
heroism and said he would have done
as much for any helpless animal.
Saults previously was patrolman
or the Philadelphia police force. and
says the discipline there taught one
to go ahead and do things. whether
perilous or otherwise, as long as duty
required it,

ADVOCATES CHANGES
IN SCHOOL AUDITING
Daily Time Book System for Each
Building Recommended to the
Board of Edu-
cation

Auditor Mcbride of the board of
education made several long reports
to that body last night respecting ac-
counting matters and claims in con-
nection with which he recommended
changes of numerous methods of the
board to expedite the work of the
auditor. Among these is the installa-
ton of a daily time book system in
every school under the direction OF
the principal on which is to be re-
ported the time of each school teacher
and janitor daily.
City superintendent of Schools
Moore reported to the board that a
large number of organizations had in
dorsed the bond election to be held
next month and had urged their MEM
bers to vote for the bonds. Among
the bodies which have done this are
the chamber of commerce, Merchants
and Manufacturers association, Church
federation, Municipal league, Los An
gelus realty board, Central Labor coun-
! Gil, Liberal alliance, German-American
alliance, Juvenile Improvement asso-
citation, Friday Morning club, Gamut
club and numerous fraternal, improve
ment and other local associations.
"All the student members of frater-
mites, sororities and secret clubs at
the Polytechnic high school who are
known to us have resigned" said DR..
Moore in his report, land the resigna-
tions of 109 students of the Los An
gelus high school from such fraterni-
ties, sororities and secret clubs have
been placed in my hands. This leaves
but a very few students who do not
care for the recommendation of the
school admitting to college without
examination and who are still members
of the fraternities. These students, ac-
cording to the rule. have until Janu-
airy 30 in which to relinquish their
membership
The board of education will hold its
annual meeting at noon next Monday
to elect officers and appoint standing
committees.

BIDS ON WORK OF CEMENT
CULVERTS DIFFER WIDELY
Construction Is Undertaken for Relief
of Garvanza Property Owners Who
Threaten City with Suit for
Damages

The board of public works yesterday
dpened bids for the construction of ce-
Tnent culverts under Pasadena avenue
and Marmion way. There was a big
difference in the prices asked. One
contractor asked as high as $ll96 for
the cuIvert under Marmion way and
s1Os9 for that under Pasadena avenue.
The lowest bid was 1915 for the Mar
mlon way culvert and $115 for that on
Pasadena avenue.
! These culverts are to be built to let
the water out of Garvanza and into Its
Natural water course. Unless this Is
Ions soon the property owners in Gar
ANA. who are affected by the water,
ave threatened to bring suit against
ne eity for damages, and the city at
"a rev has advised that they nave
good cause for complaint.
When the water is let through the
culverts it will flow down Arroyo Seoo
drive and partially inundate number
of little homes in the Arroyo Seco. AS
these homes have been built in the
nath of the natural water course the
ppronerty owners will have no redress
aeainst the city. 1t is probable drains
viii be built in the arroyo to take care
of this water.

WERDIN STILL DOGS
CONTRACTORS TRAIL
SAYS PAVING is NOT UP TO
SPECIFICATIONS
Declares inspector No Better Than
His Predecessor and Appeals
Again to Board Of PUB
Networks

Having made life miserable for the
Fairchild-G Gilmore Wilton paving con-
tractors over the Grand avenue pave
ment, E. r. Werdin, general manager
of the Western Pacific Paving COM
pany is bounding the same concern
in connection with the pavement 1t
is laying on Jefferson street.
Mr., Werdin declares the inspector on
the job is not doing his duty. He
says the pavement is being laid ninety
square feet to the barrel of cement,
while under the specifications the most
that could be got out of barrel
would be seventy square feet. He has
brought up the matter before the board
of public works and that body has
promised to investigate.
So often did Mr.. Werdin protest
against an inspector employed on the
Grand avenue pavement that the board
of public works instructed Homer
Hamlin, city engineer, to investigate
Mr.. Hamlin found Mr. Werdins
charges were based on facts and dis
charged the inspector
Mr.. Werdin now declares that F. t.
M. Lellan, the inspector in charge of
the Jefferson street pavement, is as
lax in his duty as was the inspector
on the Grand avenue pavement.

]. A. Graves, vice president of the
Farmers and Merchants bank, yester-
day filed vigorous protest with the
council against the heaping of dirt on
Mission road.
Mr.. Graves says the contractor who
is cutting down Downey avenue to

riages.
Mission road is the connecting link
between Khurtz street in Los Angeles

calls the piling of this dirt in this place
an unparalleled outrage, and demands
as a taxpayer that the nuisance be
abated.

LOVE FOR GUARDIAN
DOG PROMPTS ACT
OF GREAT HEROISM
CHILDRENS PET CANINE RES
CUED FROM FLAMES
Head of Family lmperiIs His Life to
Save Faithful Collie and is
Himself Burned
Seriously

Fondness for a highly bred Scotch
collie dog, which for nearly a year
has been the daily companion and
guardian of his two little children, re-
suited Sunday evening in the unsual
act of heroism ON the part of Robert
Saults, 617 San Julian avenue, which
temporarily has crippled him.
Saults says he did nothing out of the
ordinary, but this statement is refuted
by the facts that his left hand and
the back of his neck are swathed in
bandages as a result of the burns he
received in preventing his children
dog from perishing in the flames which,
about o'clock Sunday evening, were
destroying a stable and workshop in
the rear of his home.
Mr.. Saults. and his family were
aroused by cries of fire which were
heard emanating from the street and
found the stable and workshop was
ablaze. The building is of wood and
was burning fiercely by the time Mr..
Saults reached it.
Naturally, his first thoughts were of
the Scotch collie, which had lived
with his family for nearly a year and
which was in the burning building and,
like other animals under similar cir
cumstances, so terribly was frightened
it could not make an attempt to escape
from its perilous situation.
Is an Extraordinary Doe
Had the animal been just an ordi-
nary dog for which no sentiment ex-
listed, Mr. Saults might not havt en-
dangered his personal safety to the
extent he did. But with the collie's

The contract for lighting the city

concerns will share in the profits. The

1t is an extraordinary dog. The son
of a famous prize winner and with a
long lineage of good blood, it has
demonstrated an almost human intel
ligence from the day it was a puppy,
and since it has been a part of the
Saults' household has won a place, in
the hearts of the father and mother
of the little Saults children that is
considerably deeper than that which
some children occupy in the affections
of their parents.
Ever since the Saults children have
teen creeping tots, the collie has been
their self-appointed guardian and de-
fender, and an attempt by anyone to
injure or to interfere with either of the
children would have resulted in an at
tack on the offending person by the
collie.
The love of the dog for the children
seems human in its strength to a re-
markable degree, and the little ones
hold for the collie a similar strong af-
fection.
Dogs lmpartiaIity Tested
On many occasions the love and its
impartial bestowal between child and
child often has been tested by inducing
the children to engage in a friendly
encounter on Ine nOOEs III OIuGI "
study the actions of the dog. Inva-
riably the collie would begin blowing
its nose between the scuft1ing children
much as a referee does with his hands
in separating two combatants in a
prize ring, until he had been able to
walk undisputed between them. after
which he would continue to stand be-
tween them in order the scuffie might
not be continued.
On other occasions the dog-which,
by the way, never has bitten anyone
or anything-whenever he scented dan
ger from any source to the children
as quick as flash would place himself
between the menacing object and the
children until all danger had ceased
The peril may have been entirely
imaginary on the part of the collie, but
he did not weigh technicalities. The
danger might have been offered by
playmate whom the collie might not
have seen before: and, until the rela-
lions of the strange playmate had been
made known sufficiently well to satisfy
the collie, there was little done in the
line of play.
Master Does Not Hesitate
So. when Mr.. Saults realized the coll
lie was exposed to great danger, he
did not hesitate an instant, but
