FIRE COMMISSION
SEEKS AMENDMENT
WANTS THE LEGISLATURE TO
CHANGE STATE LAW
Relief and Pension Fund Act Works
Hardship in That Surplus Is
Turned Into City
Treasury

The fire commission will ask the state
legislature TO amend the firemen's relief
fund act so as to work less of hard
ship than it now does.
Under the present law, which has
been in effect since 1905, the firemen
are compelled to pay 2 per cent of their
monthly wages into a relief fund. This
fund provides insurance in case OF
death or accident, and is also used as
a pension fund for employees who have
served a certain number of years in
the department and are retired.
A clause in this act works an in
Justice. At the end of each year all
surplus in this fund is turned into the
general city fund.
The plan the commission Will propose
to the legislature is to have the state
raise a general relief and pension fund
by taxation, a few mills of each dollar
Of taxation to be credited to this fund.
If this does not prove sufficient, it is
provided that all insurance companies
doing business in the state and not in
corporated under California laws be
compelled to pay certain license fee
which shall be credited to this fund.
This action of the commission is
taken at the urgent solicitation of the
Los Angeles fire department relief fund,
and fire commissions of other cities of
the state are prepared to take the same
action.

WANT LESS WATER

Drain Planned


Property owners on West Pico street
appeared before the board of public
works yesterday asking that body to
take some ac0on that would permit
them to retain their cement sidewalks
and curbs.
Three times this winter these walks
and curbs have been badly damaged by
the great torrents of water that run
down the new Pico street pavement.
When the pavement was laid no pro-
visions We're made for culverts, and as
a consequence in the rains, the pave
ment is a veritable river. Before the
asphalt was laid, the water ran off in
a natural course near Hobart boule-
ward, but now it continues on its rag
ing way to Western avenue, carrying
everything before it.
The city engineer is now working on
plans and specifications for a general
storm drain for that part of the city,
and if this drain is laid, Pico street
will be no longer a winter river
The petition was referred to the en-
gineer to be taken up with the storm
drain matter.
The board is disposed to grant relief
to the suffering property owners, and
if the drain proposition should be pro-
tested out by property owners, will or
