BOND ISSUES NEEDED

DR. e. C. MOORE, superintendent of
ID schools, told the board of edu-
~ cation that high schools are
crowded far beyond their capacity for
good work and that the Polytechnic
high school has been compelled to turn
away more than two hundred students
at this term. 1t is therefore impera-
lively necessary that the board give
the people of this city chance to pro-
vide necessary additional high school
facilities. He recommends a bond issue
of 100000 for additional building at
Polytechnic high school and Gardena
high school and 100000 for new high
school. He recommends also that a
$780, 900 bond election be called for the
purpose of raising money for the erec-
tion of a new grammar school building,
which should be constructed of rein
proof. Every schoolhouse in the city
should be made thoroughly tireproof
and all exits should be arranged in such
a way that crowding and crushing
would be almost impossible. 1t can be
done. The figures of the proposed eX-
penditures should neither stagger nor
appal citizens who are familiar with
the amazing growth and the urgent
needs of Los Angeles. Money expended
on an increase of educational facili-
ties is money invested at great advan-
tage and profit. No return on any in
vestment equals that which may be
looked for from investments in schools,
schoolmasters and schoolma' ans. Give
us plenty of safe school buildings and
plenty of we'll paid teachers. When
an expert in education recommends
bond issues for specifically stated pur-
poses his voice should be needed. There
should be no question of the success
of the bond issues proposed. And the
burden of such bond issues will be
light in this city with 350,000 popula-
ton and evidences of wealth and pros
perity everywhere. The success of the
bond issues will be another evidence of
the wonderful success of the marvel

IN FAVOR OF SMITH
Woman Who Claims Lawyer Held
Money Belonging to Her Loses
When Case Reaches the

On the ground that the preponder-

defendant, Judge Monroe yesterday
gave Judgment in favor of j. II.
Smith in the suit of Mrs. Eliza j..
Camp against Smith, we'll known In
connection with divorce actions in the
superior court.
Mrs. Camp sued to foreclose mort
gage given by Smith on June 26, 1906,
in security for a $3.50 note and $3.50
cash. Smith showed a release for the
mortgage and receipt for the mon
ey, but the signatures were said by
Mrs. Camp not to be hers. The fact
that Attorney H. Fl. Appel had told
Judge Houser that he believed Judge
Monroe to be prejudioed against both
himself and client. Smith, reached
the ears of the court and was the oc-
casion for a statement in which the
Judge declared he entertained no
prejudice against counsel on either
side.
But" he added, 81 believe they
have been handicapped by their
clients. There have been questionable
actions on the part of the defendant,
while the plaintiff has taken occa-
sion to deny signatures said to have
