SCHOOL BONDS ENDORSED
BY MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
Executive Committee Passes Resolu-
tons Declaring Growth of City
Renders Construction of Build
ings imperative

The executive committee of the Mu-
nicipal league has passed resolutions
indorsing the issue of school bonds.
The resolutions are as follows:
'As the welfare of this city depends
largely on the condition of it's public
schools and the hearty support and
encouragement with which the COM
munity stands behind them, and since
the population, which has grown from
100000 in 1900 to 302, 900 in 1908, is under
obligation to make corresponding pro-
vision for its children:
"Inasmuch as the high schools which
now exist are overcrowded to a dis
tressing and dangerous degree, and
students have been compelled to stand
in line all night to get chance to reg
lister in them, and consequently a new
high school is imperatively needed just
as soon as it can be built:
"And inaSmuch as new elementary
schools are an absolute necessity in
several of the more rapidly growing
quarters of the city school district;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, That
the Municipal league of Los Angeles,
expressing it's appreciation of school
work and school accomplishments, and
its confidence in the judgment and eff
cheney of the board of education and
its officers and teachers in charge of
the schools, most heartily indorses the
bond issue of $240,00OO for elementary
schools and $480,000 for high schools
on which the board of education has
called the people to vote January 6
next, and that we urge the support of
these measures by our fellow citizens
as Il civic body"
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-29

plunged into the building, where he
saw the frightened animal covering
in the corner farthest from the flames,
utterly refusing to come out to safe
place.
The fire surrounded Saults, while en-
hers from the roof, carrying live Goals
and flames, continuously dropped on
his head and neck. After making a
hasty but Intellectual attempt to rescue
the dog, Saults beat a retreat to the
outside, where he procured heavy
blanket, with which he protected his
head and body. Again entering the
building he was enabled to reach the
collie, and this time he took the trem
bling pet in his arms and carried it out
of the blazing building. The blanket
was afire i'm several places, but Saults
did not receive any burns on his second
trip in the building, sll of his burns
being INFLICTED in his first hurried en-
deaVors.
Saults speaks lightly of his act of
heroism and said he would have done
as much for any helpless animal.
Saults previously was a patrolman
or the Philadelphia police force, and
says the discipline there taught one
to go ahead and do things, whether
perilous or otherwise, as long as duty
required it.

WERDIN STILL DOGS
CONTRACTORS TRAIL
SAYS PAVING is NOT UP TO
SPECIFICATIONS
Declares inspector No Better Than
His Predecessor and Appeals
Again to Board Of PUB
Works

Having made life miserable for the
Fairchild- Gilmore Wilton paving con-
tractors over the Grand avenue pave
ment, E. r. Werdin, general manager
of the Western Pacific Paving COM
pany, is bounding the same concern
in connection with the pavement 1t
is laying on Jefferson street.
Mr.. Werdin declares the inspector on
the job is not doing his duty. He
says the pavement is being laid ninety
square feet to the barrel of cement,
while under the specifications the most
that could be got out of a barrel
would be seventy square feet. He has
brought up the matter before the board
of public works and that body has
promised to investigate.
So often did Mr.. Werdin protest
against an inspector employed on the
Grand avenue pavement that the board
of public works instructed Homer
Hamlin, city engineer, to investigate.
Mr.. Hamln found Mr.. Werdin's
charges were based on facts and dis
charged the inspector.
Mr.. Werdin now declares that r. Il.
NJ. Lellan, the inspector in charge of
the Jefferson street pavement, is as
lax in his duty as was the inspector
on the Grand avenue pavement.

ADVOCATES CHANGES
IN SCHOOL AUDITING
Daily Time Book System for Each
Building Recommended to the
Board of Edu-
cation

Auditor Mcbride of the board of
education made several long reports
to that body last night respecting ac-
counting matters and claims in con-
nection with which he recommended
changes of numerous methods of the
board to expedite the work of the
auditor. Among these is the installa-
ton of daily time book system in
every school under the direction of
the principal, on which is to be re-
ported the time of each school teacher
and janitor daily.
City superintendent of Schools
Moore reported to the board that a
large number of organizations had in
dorsed the bond election to be held
next month and had urged their men,
bers to vote for the bonds. Among
the bodies which have done this are
the chamber of commerce, Merchants
and Manufacturers association, Church
federation, Municipal league, Los AM
gelus realty board, Central Labor coun-
alliance. Juvenile Improvement ASSOC
citation, Friday Morning club, Gamut
club and numerous fraternal, improve
ment and other local associations.
Gan the student members of frater-
mites, sororities and secret clubs at
the Polytechnic high school who are
known to us have resigned" said DR..
Moore in his report, land the resigna-
lions of 109 students of the Los An
gelus high school from such fraterni-
ties, sororities and secret clubs have
been placed in my hands. This leaves
but a very few students who do not
care for the recommendation of the
school admitting to college without
examination and who are still members
of the fraternities. These students, ac-
cording to the rule, have until Janu-
airy 30 in which to relinquish their
membership"
The board of education will hold its
annual meeting at noon next Monday
to elect officers and appoint standing
committees.

Vice President Of Farmers and Mer=

ors' Conduct with Respect
to Mission Road

J. A. Graves, vice president Of the
Farmers and Merchants bank. yester-
day filed a vigorous protest with the
council against the heaping of dirt on
Mission road.
Mr.. Graves says the contractor who
is cutting down Downey avenue to
grade is carting his excess dirt on to
Mission road and dumping it there.
This mountain of dirt makes Mission
this road will be impossible, and travel
hicles are compelled to use the rough
bed of the East Los Angeles reservoir.
When the rains come, Mr.. Graves says,
this road will be impossible, and travel
between Los Angeles and Pasadena will
be shut off to automobiles and car
riages.
Mission road is the connecting link
between Khurtz street in Los Angeles
and Pasadena boulevard. Mr.. Graves
calls the piling of this dirt in this place
an unparalleled outrage, and demands
as a taxpayer that the nuisance be
abated.
