CITY COMPROMISES
WITH HEALTH BOARD
NEW ORDINANCE PRESERVES
lNSPECTORSHIPS I
Secretaryship Is Abolished, and in
Place Stenoerapher and Tele-
phone Operator Will
Hold Sway

An ordinance passed by the city
council yesterday is in the nature OF a
compromise between the demands Of
the board of health and members of
the city council known as the solid
Five"
The new ordinance preserves the
classification of five of the inspector
ships, but also provides that these clas-
sified inspectors shall do any other
work to which they may be assigned
by the board of health.
This compromise in effect produces
everything the board of health de-
manded except two inspectors, which
the board said it could do without,
who are maintained on the payroll and
the saving to the city will not be as
great as the board intended.
The position of secretary of the
board of health, held by H. M. Love,
was abolished. This ordinance will be
effective in thirty days and after that
time some one else will have to take
the minutes of the board.
In place of the secretaryship the posi-
ton of stenOgrapher and telephone
operator is created at a salary of SIS
a month.
Under the new plan inspectors who
have been doing nothing but looking
after bakeries or garbage, or other
features of the classified list, can be
detailed to any work which the health
department may see fit Several of
them will be put to work looking after
the lodging houses, as the lodging
house inspector has been a year be-
hind in his work and the city is losing
much license money on this account
Two meat inspectors, five milk in
spectors and four inspectors of animal
slaughtering are still kept in the clas-
sified list. But from the point of view
of the solid Five" the best feature
of the new ordinance is that no one
loses his job. This compromise is per-
fectly satisfactory to the civil service
commission.
Not only was the position of secretary
of the board of health abolished. but
the position of messenger to the mayor
was also legislated out of existence.
Every member of the council voted for
the discontinuance of this position.

OBJECTS TO ASSESSMENT
TO PAVE ALAMEDA STREET
Union Warehouse Company Declares
Levy at Junction with Main
Street Unfair

The Union Warehouse company, by
its attorney, H. j. Goudge, complained
to the council yesterday against the
assessment levied against its property
for the paving of Alameda street from
Main to Ord.
Alameda street at the junction with
Main makes an acute angle and this
throws a much larger amount OF
frontage on one side than on the other.
The Union Warehouse company, which
is on the side of the street where the
frontage is smaller, complained pc
cause the assessment against it was
as much as against the opposite side
of the street, where the frontage is
three times as great. 1t holds that the
greater frontage should pay the greater
part of the assessment.
Attorney Goudge suggested that 1t
would be proper for the city to pay
the cost of this street intersection. "A
committee composed Of Yonkin, Drom-
gold and Haly will look over the mat

WILL INVESTIGATE
SWITCHING RATES
THIRD HEARING WILL BE HELD
TODAY
SPECIAL EXAMINER TO TAKE
FINAL TESTIMONY
Evidence to Be Along Lines of Cost of
Operations in Relation to
Real Estate Valu-
atlons

For the third and last time during the
present investigation the interstate
commerce commission will today hold a
hearing for the purpose of taking testi-
mony as to switching charges in Los
Angeles.
The previous hearings were conducted
by Commissioner Lane. The evidence
to be adduced at today's hearing will be
before Special Examiner Lederman, 1t
is understood. The hearing will take
place in the United States courtroom IN
the Tajo building, First street ana
Broadway.
The evidence will be along lines of the
lation to real estate valuations in their
lation to real estate valuations.
At prior hearings the facts brought
out showed that a switching charge
was made against manufacturers Tor
the delivery of car almost next door
to a team track where the railroad
made no switching charge whatever
Some sort of line was drawn between
team tracks and spur tracks owned by
manufacturers. 1t is alleged in the
complaints filed by Los Angeles jobbers
that the switching charges on freight
places them at a disadvantage.
Complaints Summarized
Traffic Manager Gregson of the Asso-
ciated jobbers yesterday sent out letters
to jobbers apprising them of the hear
ing today and of its general purport.
The Los Angeles jobbers have three
counts in their complaints which may
be summarized as follows:
First-That the rate is unreasonable
in itself in that it does not represent the
cost of the service rendered and is
therefore extortionate and Illegal.
Second-That it is already comprised
in the line rate.
Third-That as it is assessed here and
IS not assessed at points in direct COM
petition with Los Angeles it is an undue
prejudice and disadvantage to the ship
pers in this city.
1t is expected that large number Of
shippers will be on hand today to give
testimony as to the excessive charges
for switching cars.
The hearing will begin at 10 o'clock
this morning.

OVERDRAFT IN ClTY'S
FINANCES DECREASES
Chairman Wallace of Finance Conn
mittee Feels Proud He Has Kept
Expenditures Down

With a pardonable pride which he
made no effort to conceal, Councilman
A. j. Wallace, chairman of the finance
committee of the council, announced to
that body yesterday afternoon that at
the end of the tenth month of the
city's fiscal year the total overdraft
in department funds in all departments
was less than $4,000.
The pride with which Mr. Wallace
made this announcement was due to
the fact that this is the lowest over
draft for many years. Every year here
tofore at the end of the tenth month
the city has been facing a deficit, and
expenses are curtailed with an ak.
When it is found necessary to make
some expenditure arrangements are
made for the money to be paid from
the funds of the following fiscal year.
No such expedient is necessary this
year. When the budget is made up for
next year every cent of it can be used
for the years expenses and no portion
will have to be paid for this years
lack of foresight.
Mr.. Wallace gave the credit for this
showing largely to City Auditor Mush-
ct, whose methods he said, had con-
WINGED the heads of departments that
business principles applied to the mu-
nicipal government were best in the
end.

TSETSE FLY CAUSES
SLEEPING SICKNESS
INVESTIGATIONS CONTINUED
TWENTY MONTHS
Physicians Sent to Africa to lnVesti-
gate Dread Disease Discover
Transmitter and Recon-
mend PreVentiVes

LIVERPOOL, May 1S.-Dr. Allan
Kingdom, addressing a meeting of the
African Trade section of the Liverpool
chamber of commerce this week, gave
a review of the expedition of himself
and Mr.. Montgomery, dispatched by
the Liverpool School of Tropical Med
icine in 1907, to investigate sleeping
sickness in Africa. Twenty months
had passed in Investigation, extending
over an enormous area.
Tsetse fly, of the variety called CLOS
sina palpalis, DR.. Kingdom said, was
the transmitter of the disease, which
originated in west Africa, but had been
carried elsewhere in consequence Of
the increased migration on the part
of the natives. especially in connection
with the extensive movements conse-
uuent on the foundation of the Congo
Free State. 1t was now most widely
distributed.
A remarkable feature was its con-
stancy to water. In a very dry at
mosphere 1t died quickly. Shade was
another requirement, and as the river
banks were cleared the fly disap-
peared. 1t would not flourish at an
altitude of over four thousand feet,
Its presence was also seasonal. The
detection of the disease was difficult
because in the early stages patients
were apparently quite healthy, and by
the time the disease was recognized
clinically the patient might have in
fected many of his fellows.
DR.. Kingdom described the means
of the diagnosis and recommended
quarantine of infected districts. In
Rhodesia he believed the isolation OF
individuals would render the remain
ing population safe. The problem OF
getting rid of the fly was difficult
Much could be done by clearing al
the approaches to the watering places
prohibiting fishing and the use of ca
noes, as had been done with advan-
take in Rhodesia He urged interna-

DENIES REVOCATION OF
PRIVILEGE FOR BAKERY
Board of Health Refuses to Believe
Complaints Made Against Good
hue Baking Company

Because there was nothing else they
could do, the board of health yester-
day denied the petition of a number of
property owners for the revocation of
the bakery permit held by the Good
hue Bakery company on Seventeenth
street near Burlington street
Complaint was made that the bakery
chimney emitted so much smoke that
a disagreeable odor was caused when
the yeast was boiling and that the
noise of the machinery in the early
morning hours kept the residents
awake.
The board had jurisdiction only over
the matter of smoke and the bakery
officials offered to put on any kind of
smoke consumer the board of health
would recommend. With this accom-
plished the board members concluded
the only way the matter could be set
tied would be by suit in court for
the abatement of a nuisance.

This site is on Euclid and Guirado and
the objection was made that 1t was In
residence block, whereas lot on
Stephenson, which is largely business
property, should have been secured.
Fire Chief Lips declared it was the
intention to erect an engine house that
would be an ornament to the neigh
borhood. He said the building would
be two stories, of pressed brick and
that extensive lawns would be built
around the engine house, as there is a
frontage of ninety-two feet.
Councilman Blanchard, who repre-
sents the district, insisted that the
vote be reconsidered and other bids
secured. This will be done If the city
attorney finds the city has not gone
so far in its negotiations as to make
it necessary to purchase the lot.

OVER THE FENCE
Neighbor Says Something.

The front yard fence is a famous
council place on pleasant days. Maybe
to chat with some one along the street,
or for friendly gossip with next door
neighbor. Sometimes it is only small
talk but other times neighbor has
something really good to offer.
An old resident of Baird, Texas, got
some mighty good advice this way
once.
He says:
Drinking coffee left me nearly dead
with dyspepsia, kidney disease and
bowel trouble, with constant pains in
my stomach, back and side, and so
weak l could scarcely walk.
"One day l was chatting with one of
my neighbors about my trouble and
told her l believed coffee hurt me.
Neighbor said she knew lots of people
to whom coffee was poison and she
pleaded with me to quit it and give
Postum a trial. l did not take her
advice right away but tried a change
of climate, which did not do me any
good. Then dropped coffee and took
up Postum.
my improvement began Immediate
ly and l got better every day 1 used
Postum.
MY bowels became regular in two
weeks, all my pains were gone. Now |
am well and strong and can eat any
thing want to without distress. All
of this is due to my having quit cof-
fee, and to the use of Postum regu-
larly.
MY son who was troubled with indi.
gestion thought that if Postum helped
me so, it might help him. 1t did, too,
and he is now well and strong again.
