PROPOSE EXTRA
FIRE DISTRICT
SECTION OF SEVENTH WARD
TO BE INCLUDED
WEST SIDE PROPERTY OWNERS
WANT NO CHANGE
Building Committee Believes Innova-
ton There Would Result in Long
Controversy Being Set
on Foot

Proposed changes in the fire limits
were considered last night by the
building committee of the city council,
aided by number Of property owners
from the sections involved. AS a re-
suit the western and southern limits
were left unchanged, but a section in
the Seventh ward, south of Third and
east of San Pedro streets to the boun-
daries of the fire limits, will be rec
commended to the council as a sec
ondary district.
1t is proposed in this District No. 2,
as it will be called, to permit frame
additions not in excess of $500 or
above 20 per cent of the main build
ing's valuation, and to allow the rails
ing of frame structures with the
building of brick additions underneath
them. This was urged by Councilman
Lyon, T. j. Mckinley, president of the
Seventh Ward Improvement associa-
iton, and E. ]. Baldwin.
Building Inspector ]. J. Backus said
he had drawn up the ordinance and
proposed changes at the request Of the
building committee, and was opposed
to any changes unless they should be
along the line of an extension of the
fire limits.
John A. Rice. former Councilman
Fran: Walker, DR.. w. A. Lamb and
Lawrence Holmes spoke against any
side. 1.-THE northwestern section is the
most neglected and abused part of the
city," said Mr.. Holmes. eff you ex-
tend the fire limits after all else that
has been put upon US there would be
nothing left but for us to let our prop
erty be taken for taxes and then move
away from the city,"
Allison Barlow spoke in favor of the
extension, saying it would tend to pre-
vent the erection of small shacks and
materially benefit the improvement of
the section involved.
The building committee was of the
opinion that a move to change the
limits would open the way toward a
long controversy, and voted for the
Seventh ward secondary district only
because Councilman Lyon and his con-
stituents assured them that they would
be glad to run the risk of any result
ing raise in insurance rates.
The council held a short meeting be-
fore the session Of the building COM
mittee to allow the payroll Of the
park and street departments.

clever swindler is at work in Los An

goods on the old c. o. d. plan.
Bullocks' department store has been
victimized to the extent of nearly 5000
worth of goods. Yesterday the fellow
appeared there and ordered goods to
the value of $40 delivered, to be col
lected for on delivery at 5000 Ascot ave-
nue.. When the delivery boy arrived
there a man met him. said he had al
ready paid for the goods and told him
to go to a neighboring house and tele-
phone the store for confirmation of the
statement.
While the boy went to a house to
telephone the man took the goods from
the wagon and decamped. When the
boy came back he found the house was
a vacant one.
The day before this same man is said
to have swindled the store out of more
than $3.50 worth of goods by having a
c. o. ID. package sent to a vacant house
on Temple street

back of his stand and remarked that
there were a few bushels left says a

hungry, and wanted to know if there
would be a discount if he ate them
