COUNCIL TAKES OVER
THIRD STREET PAVING
PETITION OF THE PROPERTY
OWNERS GRANTED
New Policy Created Calls for the
Acceptance of All Street Inn
proVements on Their
Completion
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 19.-The
controversy between the West Third
street property owners and the city
council in regard to the acceptance of
the recent Improvement work on that
thoroughfare by ordinance and which
has been a topic of unusual interest
among the land owners over the city,
ended last last night when by a unan-
imous vote the petition presented last
week was granted.
BY the action of the council a new
policy has been created which will call
for the acceptance of all paved streets
on their completion, a procedure which
the mayor and the members of the
board were much adverse to until it
was demonstrated that the majority of
the people desired that action, but
which the city officials fear in future
years will result in a tremendous bur
den on the municipality in that the
repaving of the thoroughfares accepted
will necessarily have to be done from
funds provided by the city as future
recourse through the NroOman act will
be cut off, it then being possible for
one dissenting property owner to block
work until the city pays for the i'm
provement, it being impossible for the
majority of the land holders to force
in the work.
The session last night was attended
by a throng of representative citizens,
all of whom urged the paving work be
accepted, and this sentiment resulted
in the changing of the attitude of the
city officials.

The old man, who is gray and bent,

vanced on his son with corn sickle
llpraised to strike and that his son

Mexican eve witnesses contradict TINS

sions threatened to kill that "-
- old niger, who was driving
him and his father from the land they
considered their own through right or
having redeemed it from its wild state
OF cactus and sage brush years ago.
On one occasion, Fisher said, young
hummer threatened to stab Brother
Perry with a long knife. This was
in haying time, shortly before suit
the Eel Monte court and where, accord
ing to Fisher, hummer made still other
threats. At this point the old man was
no longer able to contain himself, and
shook his fist from his seat until
duieted by Constable Austin.

tense put no witnesses on the stand,
and after brief arguments from him

REFUSES TO PAY

COUNTY TREASURER HOLDS UP
SALARIES
Auditor Appeals to Board of Super
visors, Who Lay Matter Be-
fore District Attorney-$2oo
Involved
Especial to The Herald.1 ]


SANTA ANA, Oct. 19.-Things were
doing in the county courthouse this
morning. The county board Of super
visors encountered a hornets nest
when County Auditor C. D. Lester in
formed it that warrants which he had
drawn for the salary of his assistants
and which had been passed on by the
supervisors themselves, had been held
up by County Treasurer ]. C. Joplin
on the ground that they were not
legal claims against the county
The supervisors proceeded to pass a
resolution asking the district attorney
to let them know if such things could
be: that is If the county treasurer
could hold up a warrant that had been
passed by the board, legally made and
signed, passed through the auditor )
office and legally signed.
County Treasurer Joplin had preVl-
ously asked the opinion of the district
attorney on the legality of the war
rants, and not yet having received 1t,
STAYED by his position of refusing to
honor the warrants, which represent
sum of $207.50.
The heart of the situation is that In
years past the auditors salary has
always been supposed to cover the
wages of all help in the auditors office
and every auditor has lived up to that
requirement hitherto. Under the new
county salary act, the auditor held up
the warrants of all other offices that
had advances under the new act, and
whether the county treasurer thought
that it was a poor rule that did not
work both ways or not, nobody can tell
Now the matter is all up to the dis
trict attorney, whose opinion is anXl-
ously awaited.
