ADMITS HE STRUCK
His SISTER-IN-LAW
REAL ESTATE DEALER PLEADS
GUILTY OF BATTERY
Injured Woman Says Relative Frac-
tured Her Arm with Broom When
She Tried to End
Dispute

]. c. Anderson, a member of the firm
of Rouse & Anderson, real estate deal
ers having offices in the Bryson build
ing, pleaded guilty in Police Justice
Chambers court yesterday to charge
of battery preferred by May Ross, a
sister-in-law, who sustained a fracture
of the left arm as the result of the
assault. The case had been set for trial
this morning and Anderson was re-
leased under 500 bail for his appear
ance in court at that time.
According to the injured woman's
story to Deputy District Attorney
Keetch she and her sister, Jennie Ross,
visited the Anderson home Tuesday
night to see their sister. who has been
i'll. Anderson was at home at the time
and engaged in dispute with the Sis
ters-in-law. This was terminated, the
complainant stated, by Anderson strik-
ing Jennie Ross and hitting the other
sister-in-law with a broom, fracturin9
her left arm, when she tried to inter-
fere.
Anderson was arrested shortly after
the affair and locked in the city jail,
where he remained over night.

Municipal Affairs
COUNCILMEN FAVOR
VETO BY THE MAYOR
Southern Pacific May Not Be Able TO
Secure Franchise for Rights of
Construction on Fourth
Street

The ordinance vetoed by Mayor Alex
ander which would have given the
Southern Pacific a double spur track
on Fourth street between Central and
Alameda seems likely to stay vetoed
for a long time unless the railroad will
agree to a temporary permit.
1t requires seven votes to pass the
ordinance over the mayors veto, and
two of the nine members of the city
council, Pease and Blanchard, are away
on thirty days leave of absence. OF
the remaining seven Wallace looks ia
vorably on the mayors suggestion to
compromise with a temporary franchise,
but will not vote to pass the measure
over the mayors veto as it now stands.
He was practically the only member
who opposed the franchise when it was
first brought before the council. His
opposition was based on the fact that
he considered the tracks dangerous
and believed some arrangement should
be made for an overhead or under
ground crossing instead of at the grade
of the street,

GARBAGE DELAY
HURTS FINANCES
VAClLLATION OF COUNCIL
CAUSES CONFUSION
BUDGET WILL BE HELD UP BY
LACK OF ACTION
Money Necessary for City Depart
ments Cannot Be Apportoned
Until Specifications Are
Adopted

Blindly regardless of the fact that it
may seriously be deranging the city
financial matters. the council continues
to hold up the award of the contract
for garbage. Although it was supposed
the matter was settled a week ago
and that sometime in the near future
the garbage question would be out OF
the way the council has ordered 1t
brought up for argument again next
Tuesday.
Until the garbage matter is settled
it will be difficult and may be impossi-
BILE to make up the city annual budget
which is due at the beginning of the
fiscal year, July /. While theoretically
the budget should be ready so the
Departments will know their appor-
tionments by the beginning of the
fiscal year, 1t never has been pre-
pared at that time. 1t cannot be made
up until the council knows how much
money it will have to spend and TINS
knowledge is not certain until after
the board of equalization has con-
cluded it's labors. On this account 1t
is usually we'll into August before the
budget is completed.
In order to make up the budget the
council must have an estimate OF eX-
penses for the following year from
each department. But until the gar
bage contract is let it will be impossl-
BILE for that department to fix an estl-
mate of the cost. 1t may cost moth
ing if the garbage is given TO the
hog men for feeding, or, according 10
Councilman Dromgold, 1t may cost
$3.50. 900 a year if incinerated. Between
nothing and $150,000 a year there are
Onportunities for all kinds of estl-
mates and no allowance can be made
with any certainty on such meager
knowledge.
When the council finally finishes its
daIlving with the. specifications it will
require about three months, according
tn the estimate of the board of public
works. before the contract can be
awarded. The specifications require
that the board must advertise for tif-
teen davs for the benefit of hotel
mon and restaurant keepers who want
to sell their garbage, giving them that
length of time to file their statements.
After these statements are filed sixty
days will elapse before bids are re-
ceiVed. -,
From all indications it seems it will
be the first of July before the board
is in a position to start the first ad-
vertisement, and 1t VIII be three
months after that time before the con-
tract can be let. This will make it
October before the council can know
how much it is going to cost to handle
garbage for the coming year. Serious
consequences are likely to ensue If the
completion of the budget is delayed UNI
til fall and in the meantime the finance
committee must solve some way out
of the difficulty caused by the Vacilla-
tion of the council on the garbage
question.

CHAFFEE OBJECTS TO
ICE CREAM PARLORS
OPPOSES SODA FOUNTAINS ON
OWENS AQUEDUCT
General Makes Unklnd Remarks When
w. C. T. U. Woman Suggests Del
icacies for Employees on Great
Water Project

Ice cream parlors and soda water
fountains at the aqueduct camps do
not meet the approval of Gen. A. R.
Chaffee at all. In fact, some of the
things General Chaffee said when the
matter was mildly suggested to him
yesterday morning at the meeting OF
the board of public works are really
not fit to print.
The matter was brought up by the
suggestion of Mrs. Frances H. Fish
of the local w. c. T. u, that she be-
lieved the lot of the employees on the
aqueduct would be easier if they had
nice little ice cream parlors where
they could while away a few hours.
But if Mrs. Fish seriously proposes
to start anything like that within
General Chaffee's jurisdiction she viii
have to convince the general that IT
will fill longfelt want and the gen
eral is not open to conviction on that
point
