COUNCIL NOT EAGER
TO PAY BANK TAXES
Right of Municipality to Assume Franz
chise-to-Be Has Been Decided
Recently in Favor of
Corporation

From present indications, If the Los
Angeles railway wishes to enforce Its
demand for a refund Of taxes 1t prob
ably will be compelled to bring suit
against the city, for the council is not
inclined to refund these taxes.
About two months ago the Los An
geles railway presented claim to the
council to have the tax sale on lots l,
2 and 4 of the Power Plant tract can
celed. This property had been sold to
the city for taxes, because of the
failure of the railway company to pay
to the city $4,000 in taxes on its
franchise-to-be.
The railway company permitted the
tax on this item to go by default, and
soon after that the supreme court de-
cided a municipality had no right to
assess the francl1ise-to-be of corpora
ton. The matter was referred to the
city attorney, and four weeks ago he
reported that the railway company had
the law on it's side.
But, law or no law, the council does
not propose to give the railway any
more than it can help, and, as evidence
of this, laid the matter over for four
weeks There was no particular excuse
for postponipg action except that the
council was going to be just little
mean about that $4,000.
When the matter comes up for action
Monday it is probable 1t either will be
laid over for another month, and action
thus postponed for many months, or

joker in the amendments, but, when
reproached, Hewitt only looked inno-
cent. The merry little twinkle in his
eye, however, might have been inter
preted as meaning that he had put
one over" as they say at Santa Anita.
The mixup is in the salaries the
councilmen are to receive, provided the
amendment carries. This was the only
amendment in which the council had
any real interest, for every one OF
them, with the possible exception OF
President Pease, is convinced he can
easily be elected to succeed himself,
and all except Mr.. Pease probably will
run again next year.
There are two amendments providing
for increasing the salaries of council
men. One is an advance from 500 q
month they now receive to 5000 month
A clause in this amendment provides
that, should it fail to carry, the original
salary fixed by charter shall be eff
fectiye.
The second amendment pertaining tt
increasing the salaries of councilmer
provides for the council taking ovel
the fire, police, park and playground
commissions. For this they are to re-
ceive $50 month extra compensation
in addition to the salary fixed by
! charter"
This means that if both amendments
| carry everything will be perfect,
lovely for the mighty statesmen of thu
wards. But even the most sanguine o
the council do not expect both to carry
and did not when they were first pro
posed. One was to be an alternative
| to the other
If theNtirst amendment carries couu
cilmen will receive 5000 a month for thu
| same duties they now perform. If tn
second amendment carries they will
receive $3.50 a month for the duties the,
now perform, and in addition, mus
take over the duties of the police, fire
park and Fairgrounds commissions
| The passage Of the second amendmen
means that every councilman must Civ
his entire time to the city's interest, t.
the exclusion of all personal business
AS the board of public works now does
with the salary of its members tixet
at $3.50 a month, the present councilmel
do not know whether or no they wan

Captain w. G. Cotter came in yes
terJa1 from the Golden Arrow dis
trict, and reports that the properties
there are looking better all the time.
Prospecting work on the Cotter prop
erty has developed more than half
dozen strong lodges, which pan good
gold values, aside from the ledge on
which the main shaft is being sunk.
There are six or eight shafts on the
property, ranging from fifty to 1926
feet in depth.
On the Golden Bar ledge, where
the main shaft is being driven down
on an incline. following the ledge,
a depth of 3O5 feet has been attain
ed, with several short crosscuts at
different levels, to determine the ex-
tent of the ore body. From width
of three feet at the top the ledge has
widened out to fourteen feet at the
bottom, and the values are slowly
but steadily increasing. No assays
have been made from the lower part
of the shaft for some time, but at
the 227-foot level, where the last
average sample was taken, two and
a half feet of the five-foot ledge
showed an average assay of $35, in
gold. The balance of the ledge did
not run quite so high.
The work of sinking the shaft will
be continued, and at the same time
crosscuts will be started from about
the 300-foot level in an effort to pen
citrate other lodges which are known
to exist not far from the vein which
is being worked

site, and has well defined walls A

The first ore left the Buckhorp
mine this week for the big run at the
Mazuma Hills mill. With more than
100 tons of ore already in the bins
and on the dump at the mine, and a
steady stream of ore coming from
the mine every day, the mine man
agement is prepared to send out all
the ore that the mill will take. The
bins are being filled at the mill in
preparation for the run, which will
begin the coming week. In few
days a steady stream of ore will be
en- route from Vernon to the mill at

A rich strike is also reported on

BRIEF MINING
news OF STATE

Work is progressing rapidly on the
excavation for the Mayflower mill.
The plant will have capacity of
thirty tons daily Machinery is ex-
pected in a few days. 1t is reported
that one of the largest stockholders
is putting up the money for the May
flower mill.-Beatty Miner.
The Water Witch cross-cut from
the bottom of the main shaft is to-
wards the west contact. A large
body of ore is anticipated in this con-
tact from the fact that the upper
drift on this contact reveals a large
body of high grade milling and sort
ing ore.-Gold Circle News.
The kindergarten mill completed
it's run of thirty shifts Wednesday
and made one of the greatest clean
ups in the history of the plant. From
assays on the ore run through and
the amount of amalgam collected
from the plates and batteries, it is
believed that the present run will re-
suit in total output of not less than
$1S,O00.-Seven Troughs Miner

Roscoe Conklin Buce were introduced,
and neither received any flowers or ap-
applause from the teachers. Their re-
ception was rebuke to the two school
officials.
Mr. Henry Johnson, formerly a school
trustee was present and was introduced.
He was greeted with enthusiastic ap-
plaGse. The applause that greeted Su-
perintendent A. T. Stuart when he was
introduced will long be remembered in
school circles. Cesar's return to Rome
was no more triumphant than Mr.. Stu
arts inroduction by the chairman to the
colored teachers. The gIeam of sun
shine was in the faces of each and ev-
cry teacher. There was 10y and hap
piness. There was wild enthusiasm.
Superintendent Stuart is loved by ey-
cry teacher in the corps. He is not a
dQmlneering man, and neither does he
attempt to make teacher feel tina he
is his superior. There is no red tape
that must be cut before you can enter
his Office. There are no bars across
his door when a teacher calls TO see
him. The Superintendent may we'll feel
proud of the reception rendered him by
the teachers. Everyone assured the new
Superintendent of the esteem in which
he IS held. The members of the Board
Of Education who were present were
confident that the teachers are obedient
and will be loyal to their new chief.
The solo by Professor Layton was a
brilliant effort of this worthy musical
director. The recitation by Miss rBooks
was an enjoyable feature of the exer-
cises, and the piano solo by Miss Eu-
rope added to the occasion. Each and
every officer was given the glad shake
OF the hand, and they left feeling that
the new Superintendent and the Board
of Education would do all in their
power to advance the school system.

ence that the teachers were confden
that one of their great burdens had been
lif-ed of their shoulders.
The FRS officia, introduced was Capt
James +. Oyster, president Of theBoard
Of Education The applause lasted full
ly FIVE minutes when the jovial and able
president OF the Board was introduced
Teachers as well as spectators waved
their handkerchiefs and shouted enthu-
siastically when he was presented by
Miss Gibbs.
Captain Oyster was very much over
come at the cordial and enthusiastic re-
ccp ion. 1t was an evidence of the es-
TEEN in which he is held by these hard
worked teachers. His address was full
OF wittiCsms and logic. He assured the
teachers that the Board of Education
had done its duty and as each member
saw it. He congratulated the teachers
upon their good work and their con-
fidence in the Board of Education. AT
the conclusion of his address the ap-
plause was deafening and on behalf of
the teachers he was presented large
bouquet of American Beauty roses.
Mrs Mussey was the next member
introduced and the applause was equally
as enthusiastic. Mrs. Mussey is a sweet
little woman one OF the idols of the
teachers She has a sweet and intel
lectual but a determined face. She made
timely and encouraging address, full
of sound sense and the assurance OF
the confidence the Board had in the
teachers. She was presented a hand
some bunch Of flowers amidst applause
that lasted several minutes.
Attorney r K. Horner was the next
school official introduced and received
a tremendous applause and abeautful
basket Of flowers. Mr.. Horner deliY-
cred an eloquent address. The recep-
ton accorded him demonstrated the ap-
probation the teachers have for him.
Professor Montgomery Their Choice
When Professor Montgomery, for
merly superintendent Of schools, was in
troduced, the demonstration was most
brilliant he applause was so great
that the presiding officer had to rap
for order This mark Of respect for
tire former superintendent was evidence
Of the esteem in which he IS held by
the teaches He modestly accepted the
basket OF flowers that was handed to
him by the chairman OF the committee
that arranged he reception.
