TO BUILD CULvERTS
AND SAVE DAMAGE
PROPERTY OWNERS IMPATIENT
AT DELAY
Drains viii Be Constructed Under

titles of Water

In order to avoid threatened damage
suits against the city the board of pub
lie works will ask the council Monday
for an appropriation to construct cul-
Verts under Pasadena avenue and Mar
mion way to let out a vast quantity of
water that bothers property. owners of
Highland Park and northeast Los An
geles.
Storm conditions in that part of the
city are very bad, according to the city
engineer. Water gathers in ponds
north of Pasadena avenue. Some of
these ponds are twenty feet. deep and
several hundred feet long.
In order to get rid of this water it
must be dumped into the lowlands ad-
joining the river bed, and when this IS
done pretty little homes that have been
built in these lowlands will suffer great
ly. 1t is the natural outlet for the
water, and as such the city cannot be
held responsible for damage to these
lowlands.
While the culverts under Pasadena
avenue and Marmion way which the
city proposes to build will not solve the
water problem entirely, it is as much
as the city can do, and will clear its
skirts so that damage suits cannot be
instituted.
To reach the lowlands where the wa
ter must eventually go a culvert must
be built across the private right of-way
of the Salt Lake railroad. The city
cannot do this. 1t can lay its culverts
up to the right of way and if the Salt
Lake does not furnish an outlet for the
water the railroad can be held RESPONSE
BILE for damage by the property owners.
The railroad can be compelled to
build this culvert, but the legal process
REQUIRES eighteen months if the railroad
chooses to take the full time, and no
good would be accomplished to the
damaged property owners this winter
or next.

GARVANZA CITIZENS WIN
CASE AGAINST RAILROAD
Board of Public Works Orders Salt
Lake to Remove Switch Track
from Pasadena
Avenue

After waging a fight of two years
standing, residents of Garvanza have
at last won their demands, ana the
Salt Lake must remove it's spur track
on Pasadena avenue between Avenue
Sixty-six and San Pasquale.
AS the city attorney has been con-
sidering the law in the case for nearly
two years, the board of public works
took his report made to them yester-
day at it's full value Mr.. Hewitt told
the board the railroad had no right to
maintain a spur track on the street
at this place, as it had no franchise
to do so.
With his report the city attorney in
cluded a resolution to be signed by the
board of public works, addressed to the
Salt Lake railroad, demanding the
switch track be torn up. The time to
be given the railroad to pull up the
track and place Pasadena avenue in
it's original condition was fixed at
thirty days.

at the station at the time were dis

CHASED FIGHTER WITH TROLLEY
Cars in Race in New Haven With Ar-
 rest of Man the Prize.

New Haven, Aug. G. Patrolman Kelly, of headquarters, pressed troll ley car for service in running down man whom he wanted to arrest, yesterday afternoon, and he landed his prize after three blocks chase. This was William Fletcher, and he was wanted by Kelly for breach of the peace in connection with a fight that had taken place on George street.
 The patrolman was standing at George and Church streets when he saw a crowd of people on the former street near Temple street. He started him that there had been a fight and that one man had been knocked un- conscious. The policeman could see the one lying on the street. He ask ed where the man who had done the fighting was and the other informed him that he had just jumped on a Bridgeport car. Kelly asked him to look after the injured man and ran back to Church street. He could see the car he was after down Meadow street. He mounted City Point car that was just rounding the corner and explained that he was after the car ahead. The motorman accordingly put on all possible speed and raced after the other car. catching it in front of the Garde hotel. Kelly jumped on and ran to the Bridgeport trolley. picking out the man he want ed from hasty description that had been furnished him. The man turned out to be the one whom the police man recognized as a we'll known char acter in the police reeoTds. and told him he was under arrest. Fletcher denied his connection with the trouble and protested against his c. rest. In the meatiHe the police ann bulanee had removed the unconscious man who was William P. Bellows, the jail poet. who has frequently been incarcerated and always celebrates it with a few stsnEas of doggerei and other verse. He was not in serious condition. requiring only a few stitches in the wound on his head and forehead.
 Fletcher Is a big man. we'll over 900 pounds in weight and 6 feet in height. He said that the fight had started because Bellows had insuIted him.
