MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS q 1G|@
SOUTHWEST SECTION
WANTS STORM DRAINS
CALL SITUATION IN DISTRICT
DANGEROUS
Object to Being Floodgates fer Entire
University Surface Drainage
System and Ask Board
for Relief

Thirty members of the Southwest I'M
board of public works yesterday after
noon to present a petition urging a
solution of the problem of water drain
age on Thirty-sixth street and Thirty
sixth place, near McClintock street.
The matter has been before the board
and the city council before in various
forms, but so far has not been settled.
In the district referred to in the asso-
cations petition a large amount of
water is brought down from other
streets of the University section, which
is held back by the natural rise at
Santa Monica avenue. The water flows
from Jefferson and other streets farther
in out to Thirty-sixth and then flows
back on Vermont to Jefferson again.
AS Thrty-sixth street and Thirty-sixth
place, which were formerly Thirty
eighth and Thirty-ninth streets, are not
paved the rush of water in the winter
cuts deeply, causing unsightly as we'll
as flooded streets.
w. M Bowen, former president of the
council, who spoke for the improve
ment association, characterized the
situation as the most serious in the
city claiming the water was diverted
TO IneSe TWO streets III large amounts
by the general upbuilding of that sec
ton. For that reason the association
feels the remedy is one covering more
than the customary burden against a
residence street and a benefited dis
trict should share the expense.
Mr.. Bowen said the rains caused a
condition dangerous to school children
through water which stood in holes
washed out after a rain and in that
way as well as in cutting off access to
street cars other citizens were directly
affected. Members of the association
told the board the floods complained of
had existed only since the city had
been built up and generally improved in
that section, thereby confining the
storm surface waters.
The association endeavored to settle
the matter some time ago by arranging
for pavements and culverts through
benefit district, but citizens living east
of Vermont avenue protested against
this plan. The board of public works
was asked to make recommendations to
the city council which will afford re-
lief This may be secured either by
paving or by a storm drain system.
Councilman Wallace of the Fifth ward
appeared with the delegation and spoke
in favor of general action. The board
will consider the question and may
take a trip over the streets involved
before making any recommendations.

Object of Inventory

The object of the inventory, which
is an innovation, but will be an annual
feature, is to establish basis of actual
values to protect the city. Valuations
are fixed upon present worth and not
upon first costs.
The values fixed upon the city's parks
naturally shows an interesting varia-
tion because of situation. The city hall
park, one third of an acre, is valued at
100000, while Elysian park, 532 acres,
is worth $159,600. The park list in the
auditors schedule is as follows:
Eastlake park, 45 acres, $2SS,000;
Echo park, 32 acres. 100000; Prospect

MAY USE VOTING MACHINES
FOR CHARTER AMENDMENTS
White Elephants Stored Away for
Years, Which Cost City and
County $4,000, May
Come in Handy

If a special election is called on the
charter amendments question the vot-
ing machines owned by the city and
now in storage under the charge of the
city clerk will be given their first trial.
The city and county have together
paid $4,000 for voting machines, but
the fact that they take the place OF
men is said to be the reason why they
have not been used at several elections
which have been held since the ma
chimes We're received.
1t is not considered practical to make
the first use of them at the general
election in November, when the large
number of candidates and measures to
be voted for would make their use
nearly impossible, but as soon as an
election not so extensive makes an op-
portunity to put up the machines a
number of city officials will urge their
Use.

DEFERRED WARRANTS PAID
FROM OWENS RIVER BONDS

About 100000 of the deferred war
rants on the Owens river work has
been paid by City Treasurer Hance
since the $2,045,1OO from the aqueduct
construction bonds was available Sep
tember /. The deferred payments on
the work up to that time amounted to
more than $500,000, but the possessors
of warrants either have not understood
that the money is on hand or are in no
hurry for their money.
The $2,000,0 200 received the first of the
month was the first installment of the
$20000,000 from the sale of the Owens
river bonds to be sent to the city treas
urer by Kountz Bros. of New York.

by so many persons.
Cleanup day in Florence was u
success, a big success. The appear.
anoe of the city today shows that
Florence can now go another year
without being cleaned and u new
dress put onto it, but it certainly
should be given another cleaning
then. This work which was inaug-
urated under such favorable ciroum.
staLces yesterday should not be al
lowed to die for want of interest.

that it is given birth.
Florence does not want to pattern
after Canon in anything that that
city does, but it is we'll known
TACT that Canon Ia one of the prettiest
and cleanest of the little towns In the
state. And the Civic Improvement

A Tart Retort.

A good story Is told Of q prominent
society woman at Newport whose name
cannot for obvious reasons be given
here.
1t appears that an extremely wealthy
matron who has not always enjoyed
her present social pre-eminence was
making certain supercilious references
as to a young girl who had been pre-
scented by the lady first mentioned.
"By the way" languldly asked the
wealthy matron, who is your friend
Miss Blank?"
"Miss Blank is a charming girl" was
the smiling response, well bred, as
you see, accomplished. entertaining"
"Oh. yes. of course" continued the
other. "but. my dear Mrs. So-and-so,
you know what mean-who, is she"
"AIy dear woman" retorted the first
lady. IL can no more tell you who Miss
Blank Is than I could have informed
those who asked me who you were
when you first came to Newport
St Paul Pioneer Press.
