SEEK CLERKSHIPS
FOR AQUEDUC7
CIVIL SERVICE WILL HOLD BIG
EXAMINATION
For Saturdays Hearing III Men Have
Entered for Eligible List for
Construction Clerk and
Electrician

On Saturday record breaking exam
nation for the civil service is sched-
uled. For two Of the positions the ap-
plications run high, while for the third
there is but one applicant.
The positions for which eligibles are
sought are in the aqueduct and health
departments and III men will take the
quizzing at the Grand avenue school.
For the office of construction clerk
for the aqueduct department Secretary
w. A. Spalding has 146 names entered.
There are also "a electricians entered
for. the same department There will
be work for both classes shortly.
Only one man had entered for the
position of steam engineer for the
health department, presumably because
he will be required to operate the plant
at the pesthouse, which is a lonesome
life. The city is obliged to keep the
plant there ready for service for the
hospital and cottages. though the re-
mainder of the year there is likely to
be but little If any work.
the office Is overrun with inquiries
from young men who want to find en-
ployment at the aqueduct construction
because of the open-air life that goes
with 1t and the opportunity for ad-
vancement on the great Los Angeles
enterprise, which will probably take
five years before the last work is fin
ished.

DAMAGED CEMENT MACHINES
EMBARRASS AQUEDUCT WORK
Duplicate Parts Ordered at Wilkes
Barre Under Charter Emergency
Provisions for Use at
Tehachapi

Some of the cement machinery pur-
chased for the use of the aqueduct
board at the Tehachapi plant has been
damaged in transit and it was neces-
sary to order duplicate parts immedi-
ately under the emergency provisions
of the charter.
The city council has given the neces-
sary authority to the board of public
works.
The board heretofore by contract
purchased from the Vulcan Iron works
of Wilkesbarre, Pa, certain cement
making machinery. a portion of which
only has been damaged in transit to
such an extent that 1t is necessary to
replace it. The Vulcan works has
agreed to replace the damaged arti-
cles with duplicates conforming to the
specifications therefor for 1925 delivered
f. o. b. cars Wilkesbarre. These arti-
cles are urgently necessary in connec-
ton with the construction of the Los
Angeles auueduct and can only be OBJ
tanned from this firm.
The railway company will adjust the
damages with the city authorities, but
in the meantime 1t is Of the utmost i'm
portance that the duplicate parts be
obtained at once.

GARvANzA TO GET
STORM DRAINAGE
COUNTY COOPERATION WILL
BE ASKED
City Engineers Forces Working on
Preliminary Plans Which Call for
Cooperation by Trolley
Companies

City Engineer Homer Hamlin has
taken up the question of providing
storm drains for the Garvanza district
AS much of the watershed of this Sec
ton extends into Los Angeles county
the propriety of asking the county SUI
pervisors to bear part of the expense
enters as factor.
Moreover, by making drains instead
of culverts, the trolley companies will
be benefited and they too will be ex-
pected to do their share in meeting the
bills. There will be much backfilling
and this will be Of service to the trolley
lines in many places.
Preliminary reports have been drawn
up showing that go per cent Of the
drainage area lies in the county.
1t is shown that the filling Of large
dumpholes will be a positive benefit to
the trolley companies.

CARRIERS LIABILITY
BILL GOES THROUGH
PASSES SENATE WITHOUT AN
AMENDMENT
AS Carried, Measure Is Expected to
Meet Objections of United States
Supreme Court to Law
of 1896
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The bill
relating to the liability Of common car
riers, passed in the house April 6. to-
day was passed by the senate without
amendment and without q division.
The senate bill on the same subject
was not confined to railroads, but
covered all forms of common carriers,
and Senator Dolliver, who had re-
ported it from the committee on edu-
cation and labor, sought to substitute
it for the house bill, which relates to
railroads only, but his motion was de-
feated. Numerous amendments were
offered to the bill, but all were voted
down.
As passed, the bill is expected to
meet the objections of the United
States supreme court to the common
carrier liability law of 1896, decided to
be unconstitutional by the court.
The bill abolishes the strict common
law liability which bars a recovery for
personal injury, or death Of an en-
ploye occasioned by the negligence Of
fellow servant. 1t also relaxes the
common law rule which makes con-
tributory negligence a defense to
claims for such injuries and permits
an employee to recover for an injury
caused by the negligence Of CO.
employee.
The bill does not bar recovery even
though the injured one contributed by
his own negligence to the injury. The
amount Of the recovery is diminished
in the same degree that the negligence
of the injured one contributed to the
injury.
During the discussion of the measure
there was extended reference to cam
paign contributions by railroad men,
and especially to the Hartman con-
tribution to the Republican party fund
of 1904. The bill is now ready for the
presidents signature.

FRANCHISE WAR
NOW DECLARED
SIXTH WARDERS COMBATING
MAYORS VETO
SOUTH PARK VETO MESSAGE IS
EXPECTED TODAY
councIImen and Constituents Busy
Wire Pulling Over Mayors Action
Regarding Los Angeles
Railway

Mayor A. c. Harper discovered yes
terday that his intended veto message
for the South Park-San Pedro electric
line franchise need not be filed with
City Clerk Harry Lelande until today
as this is the tenth and final day since
passage of the ordinance when execu-
tive action of some kind must be taken
under the charter.
1t was given out that Mayor Harper
was called to Paso Robes, but that the
message would be filed in due time
All afternoon different members of
the city council called at the city hall
to learn If the mayors intention was
irrevocable. AS 1t is understood that
Councilman Barnard Healey has decided
to sustain the mayoral veto 1t does not
seem likely that the franchise ordi-,
nance can be passed again.
Some of the councilmen regret the
fact, they say, that the Los Ange-
les Railway company had offered SO
pitifully small a sum as $500 for such a
franchise, thus compromising. as they
said, councilmen who were inclined to
deal leniently with the company In
granting a franchise over whose legal
ity there was some doubt.
On the other hand Councilman Henry
Yonkin says the city will lose much
more revenue in depreciation of prop
erty along the route, nence less LAKES,
should the franchise be taken away and
no cars be operated than all the reve-
nue. 1t could get from the trolley COM
pany in years.
Sixth ward residents will attempt to
induce the council to vote down the
veto on the theory that IL another COM
pany buys the franchise and builds
line or acquired the present one 1t VIII
do away with the system of transfers
now in vogue.
Pressure was brought to bear on
Councilman e. A. Clampitt, who had
obtained leave of absence for ten
days, to induce him to remain in Los
Angeles for Mondays meeting and he
consented although he has business
that calls him several hundred miles
away.
The city's legal department has sug-
gested that the only way out of 1t Is for
the Los Angeles Railway company to
bid for the entire franchise from the
plaza to Slauson avenue, and to make
the price q fair one commensurate with
the worth Of the proposition.

To Teachers Of
Charlev0ix County:
The annual Summer Institute will
convene in CharlevoiX on Monday
moning, August 3lst, at 1000 a. N.
and will continue for one week.
Many teachers have been unable to
attend the Institutes which have been
held earlier In the summer on account
Of their attendance at summer schools.
or other engagements.
Coming as it does this year, just
the week prior to the opening of the
school term, it would seem that no
very good reason could be offered for
non attendance.
Supt. Woodley, Of CharlevOix and
Miss Jessie Nj. Hines, Principal Of
the Normal Training School, will
have charge of the program.
Particular attention will be given
to methods of teaching and the gener-
al management of the school.
Teachers are benefited by the
association with each other. and By
the discussion Of plans.
Iu this institute we expect that
you will take part. and that each
will profit by the experience of The
other.
Every teacher ia the county will be
expected to attend, and 1t is hoped
that every one will take part In the
discussions.
Very little time will bes taken for
A cademic work, but instead, every
effort will be made to strengthen the
teacher s ability ia presenting sub
ject TO a class.
The State Department expresses
opinion, and educators everywhere
endorse it. that no teacher who Is
loyal to her profession will fail TO at
tend teachers meetings.
Wages are being advanced, and the
standard of the teacher is being raised
and the teacher who fails TO take an
interest in the things pertaining to
her profession will sooD find herself
out of the profession.
Plan TO be in Charlevoix on Monday
morning at ten o'clock and TO remain
for every session.
The expense will not be very high,
and you will carry 10 your work many
helpful suggestions.
Respectfully,
j. II. MILFORD.
