The waves fell. The lust for wealth,
partially blunted by the requirements
of hardship and peril, revived within
us the instant nature granted a tenn

breath to escape, huddled about the
stove in the cabin, and recalling va

CITY CLERKS ASSISTANTS
GIVEN A RAISE IN WAGES
Wilde, Carroll and Wellington Are
Remembered by Council Long
Before Christmas

The salaries of three deputies in the
city clerks office were raised by the
city council yesterday afternoon. The
three fortunate ones are Charles l.,
Wilde who was increased from $165 to
$175; D. M. Carroll, who was increased
from $3.50 to $3.50 and F. M yelling
ton, who was increased from $125 to
$135 a month.
The proposition to increase the sal
aries of these deputies was before the
finance committee when the annual
budget was made up but the COM
mittee did not feel justified in recon-
mending the increase at that time, be-
cause it opened the gates too wide for
others who wanted higher salaries.
The finance committee yesterday rec
commended that the salaries of these
three deputies be raised and the en-
tire council believed the increases JUS
titled.
Wilde is chief deputy city clerk and
is in control of the entire staff under
Mr., Lelande. Carroll is minute clerk
of the council and one of the hardest
working employees in the city clerk 3
department Wellington is in charge
of the publication of ordinances and
has the reputation of being one of the
most efficient employees in the city hall.

MILLION DOLLAR
BLOCK TO RISE
SPRING AND FIFTH STREETS
SITE FOR STRUCTURE
Well Known Men Organize to Erect
Ten-story Office BuiIdlng-Actual
Construction Work Will Begin
Within Six Months

A ten-story office building to cost
about $1,00O,0O0 will be started at tho
northwest corner of Spring and Fifth
streets within the next six months,
according to an announcement made
yesterday.
The structure will be built by the
Chester F'ireproof Building company.
A 50-year lease on property is held
by the company. The property has a
frontage of 95 feet on Spring street and
100 feet on Fifth, and a width of 240
feet on an alley in the rear. The
ground is now owned by the heirs of
the late Mrs. Carrie Jones.
1t has not been decided whether the
building will be 95x160 feet, or will cover
the entire lot. If the former it will
cost about 100000, and if it occupies
the whole area the cost will be approx
imately $1,000,000.
This and other matters pertaining to
the building will be decided on the re-
turn from Europe Of A. C. Bilicke, pres
ident of the company, who is expected
to arrive in Los Angeles November To-
Plans for the building have been pre-
pared by Parkinson e. Bergstrom. In
construction and appearance it will be
similar to the Security building, op-
posite on the south.
Directors of the company are Mr.
Bilicke, ]. F. Sartori, James H. Adams,
r. A. Rowan, M. S. Hellman, E. ]. Mar
shall and j. S. Torrance.

Coulter Dry Goods Co..
Municipal Affairs

This action was taken on a petition
signed by about so per cent Of the
laborers and one of their number, NJ.
c. Mooney, addressed the commission
on the matter at it's meeting last night.
He said the laborers received only
about $54 a month and that with the
price of living increasing by leaps and
bounds it was impossible to properly
care for family on this small wage.
1t is conceded that If the increase
is granted the park laborers, the street
laborers will probably ask the same
amount and to grant it to all the
city's laborers would increase the pay
roll about $400 900 q year.

Place Park Band Stand

The band stand in Central park is
to be in the southwest corner and the
public comfort station in the north
east corner. This is the agreement
reached by the park commission last
might and this recommendation will be
made to the council.
Sumner p. Hunt, who is doing some
architectural work for the park de-
partment, protested against this plan.
He declared 1t would be better to have
the two united and put in the center
of the park. This has been the case
and it has not been found satisfac-
tory 1t is planned to spend about
$4,000 on the band stand and about
$4,000 on the comfort station.

BOSTON MINISTER ADVISES
CARE FOR EARTHLY THINGS
Rev. P. S. Henson, Formerly of Baptist
fremont Temple, Says Religious
Conditions Have Changed

Religious conditions have changed.
At one time when the preachers eX-
pounded they pounded each other
forcibly," said Rev. P. S. Henson, for
mer pastor of the Baptist fremont
Temple of Boston, yesterday at the
noon luncheon of the Federation club.
His subject was "The Unearthly
Christian" He said in part:
"The Unearthly Christian is not
dead. We ought to mind earthly things
along with the spiritual, to make a
success here and in the hereafter Our
duty is to attend to the business at
hand and we should concern ourselves
that we have a decent show to do it.
Activity is the principle that wins
in the rounds of the useful life, Those
who want to sing themselves to glory
and do nothing else ought to go as
quickly as possible.
Christian principle should be foe
used on heavenly precepts in order
to realize religious progress In the
world.
'I believe, as one has expressed it,
in getting righteously mad. 1t is our
business to turn things upside down
for the right And God has produced
men who can stand up for the main
tenance of manhood in the world"

Take Up Track Elevation

Councilmen Dromgold, Wallace and
Blanchard, were appointed a special
committee by President Pease yester-
day afternoon to take up the matter
with the Pacific Electric railway Of
elevating its tracks at Rose Hill in
Mission road.
1The CITY contemplates the improve
ment of Mission road at this point and
the grade will be raised. The tracks
will have to be raised to comply with
a new grade and it is believed it would
be better If they were elevated above
the road in order to give automobiles
a clear road to Pasadena.

FOOD INSPECTORS
TO BE WITHDRAWN
CONSTRUCTION CLERKS TO BE
TAKEN OFF AQUEDUCT
Board of Public Works Takes Drastic
Action in Reply to Communica-
ton from Civil Service
Commission

AS result of the clash between the
civil service commission and the board
of public works over the two food in
spectors on the aqueduct there Will be
no food inspection after the end of the
current month.
Capt. F. D. Tompkins and Virgil
Franklin, construction clerks, VINO
have been inspecting the food served
the employees, will be relieved of this
duty October 81 and the board of pub
lie works has so informed the civil
service commission in a letter just as
sassy as the one the commission
sent the board. The letter bears the
signature of the board of public works,
but Gen. A. r. Chaffee, chairman OF
the aqueduct advisory committee, is
it's author. The letter to the civil SER
vice commission is as follows:
The board of public works has the
honor to acknowledge the receipt OF
your communication dated october
20 and in reply begs to advise that
1t has ordered that Messrs. Frank
lin and Tompkins, construction
clerks, be relieved october 81 from
the additional duties assigned to
them, regarding which assignment
the civil service commission re-
gretfully cannot agree with the
mature Judgment exercised by the
hoard of, public works in the mat
ter.
Threatens to Stop Pay
Tn its letter to the board October
20 the civil service commission had
decided it could not permit construc-
tion clerks to act as food inspectors,
but that these positions must be tilled
by qualified restaurant inspectors and
that unless Messrs. Tompkins and
Franklin qualified as restaurant in
spectors the commission would stop
their salaries.
The two food inspectors were ap-
pointed by the board of public works
during the agitation against the food
served the aqueduct employees last sum
mer. Since their appointment the agt-
alton has subsided and no organ
lied complaint has been made against
the food. The positions were created
by the board of public works with the
understanding, noted in the minutes,
that the two construction clerks were
to act as food inspectors. Both were
considered qualified for the positions.
Franklin has passed the civil service
examination as restaurant inspector
as well as construction clerk.
But the board of public works has
other uses for construction clerks than
inspecting food and these two will be.
assigned other duties next month. 1t
is the intention of the board that food
served on the aqueduct will not be in
spected if civil service restaurant IN
spectors must be used for the purpose.

To Improve PLAYGROUND

The council yesterday appropriated
$4,000, from the general expense fund
and transferred it to the playground
fund. This money is to be used for
improvements at the Slauson avenue
playground.
The playground commission asked
for $4,000 N order to complete a num-
ber of things it had planned for the
present year but the finance commit
tee, while in hearty sympathy with
the work of the commission, could not
see its way clear to granting more
than half the sum asked.
