MAY CONSOLIDATE JOBS
OF AQUEDUCT CLERKSHIPS
TWO MANY GRADES WORRY CON-
MlssIoNERs
Time, Warehouse and Construction
Clerks May Be Made One Po-
sition, Thus Saving
CIassifications

Because of the many details growing
out of the classifications required by
the civil service commission, the aque-
duct board has requested that some of
the clerical and semi-clerical positions
be combined, thus decreasing the num-
Der of different positions and yet keep
ing a large eligible list.
The positions of timekeeper and
warehouse clerk, for instance, will be
consolidated, as a man possessing the
requirements for one position can cas-
lily fill the other, it is held.
Unfortunately, the commission has
already advertised an examination for
some of these separate places on the
last Saturday in March, and this action
may have to be recalled.
On the other hand, the commission
can consolidate the eligible lists after
ward, and thus reach the same result.
There is a position of construction
clerk waiting now which was created
mainly in order to allow the board to
reappoint a man who had not, it is
stated, given satisfaction as warehouse
clerk which kept him in the city of
Mojave, whereas construction clerk
work will keep him on the desert. The
temptations of the saloons in MojaVe
proved this mans undoing, yet he was
competent out of the saloon influence,
and the gambling allurements con-
nected herewith, at frontier points
The commission will probably reach
a decision on consolidation next week.

day said:
II appreciate the efforts of Prof
Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather
bureau at Washington. 1t was through
him that my recommendations for these
were approved.
when I first assumed charge of the
office in Los Angeles 1 requested the
office at Washington to give me one of
the best equipments possible.
"AS a result, we are soon to have in
stalled in our Office teleothermograph
an instrument used for recording in the
office each change in the temperature
of the air outside.
"a supply of these has arrived from
France in Washington. There will be
little delay caused by their being
tested there.
I'm anticipation OF it's arrival 1 in
stalled wires and batteries some time
ago, so that it will not take long to set
the equipment in place, ready for use.
This will be valuable addition to
the office, since we will then have the
temperature registered constantly in
the office, while now we have to climb
to the roof to take observations when
we are asked regarding the change,
which is often.
THE other instrumental self-record-
ing hygrometer-is even more valuable,
1t records the amount of moisture in
the atmosphere. This is also a French
Device which will arrive later than the
other instrument.
THE obtaining of the record OF
amount of humidity in the atmosphere
is particularly valuable in Los Angeles
AS things now are Los Angeles is don=
a great injustice by the daily records
taken at a. m. and p. m, especially
in summer time.
THE high fog" so called. hangs over
the city during these two hours of the
day, hence the average of those two
observations, which does not take into
account the dry noon, apparently gives
us a much higher humidity for summer
than we have in reality. The value of
that machine to the city's weather his
tory is considera ble."

Civil Service Commissioners Will
Find Out Why Library Direct
ors Ignore Certified
List

Civil service rules and the wishes of
the public library directors have again
run counter because of the situation
regarding some vacancies at the Ii
brary.
Misses A. Lauretta Clark and IneZ
A. Green are both eligible for the po-
sition of assistant principal in the ju-
venile department, yet they are holding
other positions, and as far as the com
missioners learn are satisfied with their
present positions.
Lists have been certified to Librarian
Charles f. Lummis from which to fill
the vacancies in the event that the
Misses Clark and Green do not accept
them, and it appears that the library
board is unwilling to pick names from
a list which embraces the names of
Misses Mcfarland, Dudley, Moloney
and others
The commission has referred to a
committee the question whether gem
eral attendants can decline the tenders
of positions as assistant principals, and
also to learn if such declination is en-
tirelY voluntary.
