MUSHET OPPOSED TO
SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
URGES SALE OF MERCANTILE
PLACE PROPERTY
Points Out That of $25o,ooo Voted for
Buildings in 1907 Only $4,000
Was Actually So
Employed

In report to the council on the mat
ter of school bonds City Auditor Mushet
took the position that the board of edu-
cation, instead of asking the people to
vote bonds should sell the ground on
which Mercantile place stands, which is
owned by the school board. This prop
erty Mr.. Mushet values at 81, $50 900. He
declares it is leased at "a price that
brings only per cent on the invest
ment, and that this amount is ridic-
ulously small
In discussing the three quarters of a
million bonds which the board of edu-
cation wants for school purposes MIR.
Mushet pointed out that if this money
was voted it would be possible for it 10
be diverted into other channels than
the erection of buildings and increase
of accommodations, as was the quarter
of a million dollars voted in 1907 for
the same purpose.
The auditor showed that of Nhe $780,
900 bond money then voted for the cree
ton of new buildings and increasing
the size of old ones. in order to relieve
the congestion in the schools, less than
$4,000 had been actually used for that
purpose, the rest of the money having
been diverted to other channels
Dr.. e. G.. Moore. superintendent of
city schools, called this apparent diver
sion of funds mere bookkeeper's errors.
but Mr.. Mushet says these amounts
were used otherwise and charged to
the building fund under the directions
of the boOkkeeper's superior OFFICERS,
and against his protest.

TUESDAY SESSION IS
STARTLING SUCCESS
IMMIGRATION SlGNALIZED BY
BRILLIANT RECORD
City Council Attends to Business and
Gets Through Lots of Work,
Adjourning Shortly
After Noon

The first session of the city council
under the new ordinance, which pro-
Vides for meetings Tuesday mornings
instead of Monday afternoons, went off
more smoothly than has any previous
meeting under the present administTa-
ton.
Councilman Wallace and Dromgod
showed remarka BILE self control, neither
making a speech of more than five
minutes length. Councilman Wren
also had unusual consideration for his
colleagues and did not once ask to have
long recommendation or report re-
read He paid attention to the pro-
ceedings most of the time, and did not
wander about the council chamber and
the committee room and then demand
that what had been done while his at
tention was elsewhere be repeated.
The regular order of business was
rigidly adhered to, although several
members of the council, not used to
such regularity, made an effort to break
it up and even insisted on a vote on the
order of business. There were five
members in favor of suspending the
rules and changing the order of bust
GesS, but this requires two-thirds vote,
and it was not carried
AS d result of adhering to the rules
and fair prOInptness on the part of the
council members the session concluded
about 80 and a large amount of bust
ness was transacted. Heretofore, be-
cause several members of the council
have insisted on discussion of a sub
ject, whether there was anything dis

READVERTIsEs FOR BIDS ON
SITES FOR ENGINE HOUSES

Because of inaction on the part of
the land committee the council was
again compelled to advertise for bids
for two engine house sites. The sites
wanted are in the vicinity of the Santa
Fe depot and between Main and San
Pedro and Third and Fifth streets.
Six months ago the council invited
bids for engine house sites in these
localities, and proposals were submit
ted. These proposals were referred to
the land committee, and there they
have rested ever since. Real estate con-
ditions are supposed to have changed
in the time that has elapsed, and the
prices asked probably will be higher
than were the first ones.

ASKS COUNCIL TO REMOVE
BAN ON JEWELRY AUCTIONS

Thomas B. Clark who calls himself
the Oldest auctioneer in Los Angeles.
yesterday petitioned the city council
to change the auctioneer ordinance So
jewelry houses in good standing can
auction jewelry after o'clock at
night. An ordinance now in force pro-
hibits such auctions and was passed at
the request of the police commission,
as the chief of police declared he had
great difficulty with fake jewelry auc-
lions, especially during the holidays.
Mr.. Clark presented a substitute or
dinance permitting night auctions TO
be held by all reputable houses but
excluding pawn brokers. The matter
was referred to the police commission,
and at the session of the commission in
the afternoon was referred to the com
mittee of the whole to be taken up
with the city attorney.

AoUEDUCT AGENTS SALARY
INCREASED $50 A MONTH

The salary of the disbursing agent
of the aqueduct was increased from
5000 to $3.50 monthly by the council
yesterday. The council concluded it
had better take action before the board
of public works demanded $500 a
month.
Several months ago the board of pub
lie works asked that the salary be in
creased to $225 a month. The extra $25
was to pay the premiums on the bond
the disbursing agent is compelled to
give. This agent must give a bond
twice as large as the amount of money
he handles, and already the premium
costs $50 a month. The board pointed
out that unless the salary was in
creased in proportion to the bond pre-
MUM The disbursing agent would soon
be paying out his entire salary.

MUST RAISE FUN7S FOR
ADDITIONAL PATROLMEN
Finance Committee Instructed to Find
About $4,000 That at Least
Fifteen Men May Be
Added to Force

At least fifteen more patrolmen must
be provided for the police department,
and the finance committee must find
some way of getting the money to pay
them. This committee was so in
structed by the council at it's session
yesterday morning.
In Chief Kerns annual report he
pointed out that the force was de-
ficient by about twenty to thirty men,
and that the department never had
received the number of men granted it
by the ordinance passed two years ago.
With the races in progress, and the
usual influx of yeggs and thugs the
police department has had its hands
more than full in attempting to main
tain law and order
1t will cost about $4,000 to provide
the necessary patrolmen, but the
money will be taken from the general
reserve fund.
