SANTA FE THREATENS TO
REDUCE TRAIN SERVICE
Special TO The Herald.


ESCONDODO, June 11.-This little
city, in fact the entire Escondido val
ley, is considerably perturbed over a
rumor that the Santa Fe railway has
concluded to take off one train a day
each way between this point and Ocean
side, restoring the original schedule of
one mixed train each way.
Escondido has enjoyed two passenger
and one freight trains daily since De-
cember 20. and 1t is not thought that q
reduced service can handle the business
with satisfaction or with safety to the
fruit interests. In the season i1scon-
dido ships one car OF grapes each day
and a car of citrus fruits every other
day, and for period OF sixty days
hay shipments amount to three cars
daily, and for thirty days thereafter
about one car per day.
Local capitalists are at work on the
organization of q company to operate
an auto line thirty-five miles overland
to San Diego for passenger service.
The project also contemplates the re-
slscitation of the old desert freighter
method of expressing stuff into San
Diego. The community is considerably
excited and much alive to what Is here
termed "the necessities of this growing
community"
|. CONFIDENT with the talk of a reduced
Santa Fe service comes the positive
statement that railroad surveyors are
at work in Moose canyon, a point be-
tween Bonsall and Escondido. This Is
along the line Of the original Southern
Pacific survey to San Diego, which con-
templated a short line from Los Angeles
to that city through the canyons and
over easy grades. 1t Is pointed out
that the grade up the San LUIS Key
ts easily the line of least resistance to
a Southern Pacific line, which Is
known to have been contemplated sew
eral wears ago.

LATE ASSESSMENT THROWN

Taxation for Recently Completed At

Vigorous Opposition
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald,
LONG BEACH. June 1.-THE en-
phatic kicks of citizens were successful
this afternoon when sensational meet
ing of the CITY council closed with the
adoption of resolution tn throw out
the assessment made on property to
pay for the recently completed Atlantic
avenue storm drain, and to order new
assessment.
A large number of interested citizens
was present and participated in the
discussion, explaining alleged injustices
in the assessment. Capt. A. de Ruiz,
an expert, worked for nearly three
months on the assessment lists. T. l..
De Coudres was one of the most siren
uous directors.
An incident of the meeting was the
verbal combat between e. J. Starr and
former Trustee S. L. Lent, the latter
denying forcibly the formers statement
that Mr.. Lent had said the assessments
would be equally divided among the
lots in the Improvement district.

LONG BEACH, June ia raft OF
rough boards held together by strips
of canvas was sighted this morning
fifteen miles from shore by passengers
on the fishing boats Seabright. Five
empty oil cans, supposedly used fol-
water, were on the raft. The mast
made of AKA timber, was broken off
near the raft and the top part had been
carried away.
The raft bore evidences of having
been in the water for a long time. II
may tell story of shipwreck and OF
the unsuccessful attempt by a party
escaping from the sinking vessel to
reach land.
w. l.. Porterfeld, president of the
Westminster company, which planned
year ago to erect at the foot of Pine

the city council for permission to erect
on the property mentioned several

SITE FOR NEW PoSTOFFICE
WILL BE DECIDED SHORTLY
Snecial to The Herald.

bPecial 10 Inc heraiu.
PASADENA, June 11.-With but little
more than two weeks left in which to
file offers of site for the new post
office, all persons interested in real
estate are evincing great activity.
Postmaster Wood is every day receiv-
ing visits from persons who want his
advice on the matter, but he is not
officially interested in it at present,
and merely refers them to the printed
announcement of the department.
July 2, the date on which all bids
must be on file at Washington, I'M
doubtedly will find a large number of
offers made, but it is now generally
agreed that the choice lies between two
locations which the east and west por-
lions of the town are respectively urg-
ing. The corner of Delacy and West
Colorado streets will compete with the
corner of Worcester and West Colo
RADIO for the honor After the bids
have been opened an inspector will be
sent on from Washington to decide the
location, so it will be number OF
weeks before anything definite will be
known as to which side of the city
will receive this impetus.

WATER COMPANIES WILL
PUT PROPERTY IN ESCROW
Special Committee of Council APP
proves of Agreement and sigma

Attached Friday
snaoial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, June 11-Although the
exact terms of the agreement drawn up
yesterday between the representatives
of the city and the water companies
cannot be made public until after it
is accepted by the council next Tues
day morning, it is known that the pro-
visions contemplate putting all the
property of the companies In escrow,
until the citizens shall have passed a
bond issue to pay for them. The city
will be given a definite time in which
to sell the bonds and turn the proceeds
over to the companies, after which the
property will be released from escrow
and come into the possession of the
city. In case the people should re-
fuse to vote the bonds, the agreement
will become void.
The water committee of the council
met this afternoon and considered some
legal aspects of the agreement, which
met with their approval The water
companies probably will ratify it Fri
day, and at the regular meeting of the
council Tuesday morning it is certain
to be finally completed and signed. AS
it will be necessary to submit the
agreement to Dillon e. Hubbard, the
New York bond experts, 1t is probable
that the election to vote on the bonds
cannot be held before August.

Ocean Park Brings Another Suit
Against Santa Monica and
Claims to Own Right

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SANTA MONICA, June 11.-Under
the plan of campaign adopted by Ocean
Park in the sewer controversy, new
suit for damages is expected by the
city hall every day. There was no
miscarriage in the program today. This
latest suit is for the recovery of
$4284.11, 1.-The amount due the city of
Ocean Park for the extension of the
Center street pier and sewer system,
in the attempts to dispose of Santa
Monica sewage without endangering
the health and property of Ocean
Park"
1t has been agreed between the city
attorneys of the two municipalities
that the hearing on making the tenn
porary injunction of Santa Monica
permanent or dissolving it, which was
to- come up before Judge Bordwell in
Los Angeles tomorrow, shall be post
poned two weeks.
Meanwhile Ocean Park city officials
claim to have found a record of the
transfer of Santa Monica's sewer right
of way, ten feet WIDE down the ocean
front broad walk, back to Ocean Park
The active sewer, now in dispute, is
not in this alleged right of way at all
for the right of way has been found
to hold an old reverse sewer not now
in use. A new complication is found
every twenty-four hours.

SHAKE-UP IN OCEAN PARK

City Marshal Made officer of Health

airy In Order to Provide
Extra Help

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK. June 1.-THE first
shakeup IN the local police de-
ton of the city government has oc-
CURED. The city trustees, in fixing
salaries, voted not to pay a salary to
any deputy marshal. This appeared to
have the effect of legislating Deputy
Marshal George Nettleton out of Of
flee The office was not abolished and,
if City Marshal ]. d. Simpson were
willing, Nettleton might continue to
serve without pay. But, although Net
Teton was distinctly promised prefer
ment before election, there appears
now to be opposition to him. and the
place is to be filled, according to later
promise, by H. Jones, the man who
installed the electric lighting plant
of Venice, was assistant electrician of
the Chicago, Buffalo, Omaha and st.
Louis expositions, and only today es-
tablished the Electric Construction
company at Venice.
Nettleton is a member of the firm of
Nettleton & Aver, Venice, and, as City
Marshal Simpson is a man of affairs,
having large business interests which
demand his attention, criticism was
made that there was no working Of
f1cer in the police department higher
up than Desk Sergeant Bowers,
who is attentive and hardworking.
One trouble has been that, under
Ocean Park ordinances, nobody got
paid enough for the taxpayers to notice
it. The marshals salary was fixed at
$40 a month. The only way for the
new trustees to meet the case was by
beating the devil round the stump. Sc
they voted $40 a month to the board
of health administration" City Mar
shall Simpson becomes an officer of the
health department under Health Of
ficer Kendall. physician, who gets nc
salary at all. The marshars salary is
now $3.50, and he has promised the city
trustees that, If he cannot find time
to attend to all the duties, he will
hire someone. Thus, it is expected thai
the marshal will divide his $15t
equitably and the city will get two of
ficers at that price. H. Jones is as.
sured the deputyship.

Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, June 11.-Traffic Man
ager Macmillan of the Pacific Electric
Railway company this afternoon sent
to Secretary Bertonneau of the Doaro
of trade an answer to the petition
which a thousand residents of Pasa-
dena and Altadena sent him about SIX
weeks ago. The petitioners requested
that the scent fare limit on the Alta
dena line be extended from its present
terminus as far as Mountain view
cemetery, several blocks north. This is
the objective point of many persons
who patronize the line.
Mr.. Macmillan, after politely apol-
ogizing for ignoring the petition for SIX
weeks, even more politely refused to
grant it's request. He stated that there
were technical legal difficulties in the
way. He also reluctantly stated, as
the heart of the matter, that such an
action might establish. a precedent
which, in the future, would be prejudi-
cial to the interests of the company.
