CITY SAVED HALF
MILLION DOLLARS
COUNCIL BUDGET COMMITTEE
Is AT WORK
DIsHMAN FAILS TO SECURE MORE
PATROLMEN
Feared That Firemen viii Not Re-
ceive This Year the Long
Awaited increase in Their
Salaries

I'VE made half a million dollars for
the city in little over an hour" said
Councilman Wallace yesterday after
noon, when the budget committee took
a short recess to meet with the council
and assist in canvassing the vote of
the Wilmington consolidation election.
By this statement Mr. Wallace, who
is chairman of the budget committee,
meant that his committee had cut half
a million off the estimates of the de-
partments in its hard task Of appor-
tioning the money the city will receive
this year among the various branches
Of the city government where il Will
do the most good.
But with half million Topped off
there still is a quarter of a million to
cut, and this quarter of q million is
the hardest part of the work. No
member of the committee will tell
where the cuts are made until they are
ready to report the budget, but after 4
little seance with the committee yes
terday Chief of Police Dishman de-
Clared he would not have one more po-
liceman to add to his force this year
and that he would have to get along
as formerly with an average of one
man to each square mile.
1t IS feared the increase in salaries
asked for the members of the fire de-
partment will go the same way the
extra police have gone and that the
firemen will have to wait another year
for more money. They could wait
the extra year patiently if they thought
they would receive the increase at the
end of the year but they have waited
a good many years now and it has not
come

Canvass Vote of Election Held on
Wednesday and Make but Few
Slight Changes

The nine members of the Los Ange-
les city council and the three trustees
of Wilmington met in joint conference
and canVassed the vote of the election
last Wednesday. No material change
was made. The Wilmington vote was
the same as reported on the night of
election, 107 for consolidation and Gl
against. Several minor changes were
necessary in the reported votes of some
of the Los Angeles precincts but the
official count resulted in a gain of IS
votes in favor of consolidation.
The joint conference will have to
meet again at 10 o'clock this morning
TO issue a certificate Of consolidation.
This could not he done yesterday, as
some of the tally books had not been
signed properly. The Wilmington trus-
tees seemed to enjoy the performance
yesterday, and were pleased with the
result of the election. They declared
that all they wanted now was for Los
Angeles to redeem its promises and
build up the harbOr.

STAND TRIAL
Men and Women Accuse Officers of
WantonIy Knocking Down Hus-
bands Whose Wives Were
with Them

Charges were preferred against Pa
trolmen r. j. Gregory and II. NJ Tur-
mar before the police commission last
night, and these officers were ordered
to appear next Monday night and show
cause why they should not be dis
missed.
If the evidence bears out the charges
these officers are "bullies." according
to the definition Of Commissioner Gra-
ham, and he declared last night he be
lieVed they should be discharged from
the force quicker than the patrolmau
who lost his position for taking a drink
on duty But chief Dishman said last
right there were some eXtenuating cir
CumstanCcs
The charges are preferred by Mr. and
Mrs. A. j. Mepham and Mr.. and Mrs
H. NJ Williams. The cOmplainants
declare that about midnight, July IS,
they went into d Main street cafe and
had a lunch, and that they left the
restaurant about 2:3O in the morning.
The two women and Mr.. Williams wait
ed outside the restaurant while Mr..
Mepham paid the bill, and while they
were waiting the two officers passed
them.
one of the officers, they allege, made
a remark to the effect that the women
Of the party We're disreputable charac-
ters, and It was time they We're going
home. one of the women replied that
they were married people, which the
officers refused to believe and said
something still more insulting The
officers passed on a few steps when one
Of the women made a remark that at
tracted their attention and they re
turned.
Without provocation, they allege,
officer Gregory hit Mr.. Williams in the
face twice and knocked him down. MIS-,
Mepham went into the restaurant to
get her husband, and when he came
out and tried to argue with the officers
he too was knocked down.
The commissioners were indignant at
the recital of the misconduct of the
officers, and if the evidence bears out
the statements they will be dismissed.

True to the expectations of the coun-

1t was in expectation OF this action
by Connell that the council last week

ors. The charges were Withdrawn by
these dealers because they understood
Mr. Conner would resign, and with the
charges withdrawn the council had
nothing to do but dismiss the case.

POLICEMAN'S LIE, NOT HIS
DRINK, CAUSES DISMISSAL
Rose Dropped from Police Force Be-
cause He Equivocated-Chief Uses
Shorter and UgIer Word

Patrolmau Richard Rose, who has
been attached to the University sub
station, was dismissed from the force
by the police commission last night for
making false statements to the chief
of police.
Rose was reported to the chief as
having entered d saloon while on duty
the last night of the Elks electrical pa
rade and drank liquor. When the chief
asked him about the matter Rose de-
MED he had taken drink, but when
confronted with the written statements
of other officers who knew the facts
admitted he had had one glass of beer,
Chief Dshman told the commission
that he had intended to permit the Of
fense of taking a drink on duty go
with a light reprimand. because he
realized the officers were worn out aft
er Elks' week, but he could not con-
done the offense of lie.
1t was for this lie and not for taking
the drink that Rose was dismissed

UTILITIES BOARD
MAY Be FORMED
COUNCIL FAV0RS FORMATION
OF COMMISSION
PROPOSAL TO CHANGE SITE OF
CITY HALL TO COME UP
Lawmakers Undecided Whether to
Make Three or Five Members
Body to Control Public
Corporations

Two matters Of more than usual i'm
portance will come before the city
council al its session today. One is
the formation Of a public utilities com
mission and the other the sale of the
city hall and the erection OF new
one on cheaper ground.
On the question OF the appointment
of a utilities commission the council
is agreed. No one except Healy and
Clampitt, neither Of whom cut much
figure in the council deliberations, is
opposed to the formation Of such
commission, and practically the only
question to be decided is: shan the
commission be composed of three or
five members?
The tive-member plan was proposed
by Councilman Lyon at the meeting
last week, and the way it was arranged
met with much favor. Mr. Lyon would
have the civic bodies take hand III
the commission and suggested that the
chamber of commerce, the merchants
and manufacturers and the Municipal
league each be authorized to name one
member of the commission and the
council the other two.
Five Members Preferred
To give these three civic bodies a
chance to appoint members to the COM
mission is one of the chief arguments
for a commission of five. A majority
of the council believes that three com
missioners would form a large enough
body, but in the event of but three
being appointed the council would have
to give up its prerogative of naming
one or two of them or one or two of
the civic bodies would have to be cut
out.
Whatever the size of the commission,
it will be authorized to employ a Sec
retary, an accountant and an engineer.
These employees will be expected to de-
vote their entire time to the work Of
keeping in touch with the public util-
tiles companies. The budget committee
is making provision for this expense in
this years finance report.
The matter of the sale Of the city
hall is brought up by a report OF tho
finance committee made last week, in
which it was stated that it was be
lieved the present site and building
could be sold for a sufficient sum to
pay for cheaper ground and the ereC-
tion of a suitable building.
