Work on Waldo Street Under Old
Specifications Abandoned and Res

Materia. Adopted

OCEAN PARK, March 22.-The board
of trustees passed resolution of in
tention to abandon work on Waldo
street under the present specifications
IL was found the specifications in
fringed on a patent held by a Boston
firm, and the fact that Los Angeles is
involved in a similar trouble FASTENED
the boards action.
A resolution of intention based on
different specifications was adopted by
the trustee, in order to hasten the
work.
On President Eakins' statement thai
the old resolution of intention called
for the work being done under the
bond act, the resolution was AMENDED
SO the work may be done under the
Vrooman act.
A resolution was adopted abolishing
the office of chief of the fire depart
ment, and creating the dual office OF
garbage inspector and fire chief, and
appointing A. Anderson to the position.
The same resolution places the incin-
orator under the charge of the street
department and creating the office OF
gas inspector to be filled by G. Eich-
baum, present city electrician.
An ordinance providing for the licens-
ing of automobiles kept for hire was
passed on it's second reading. The
measure is designed to protect the gar
age owners of Ocean Park against out

BOY ENCOUNTERS BURGLAR

Youth Crawls Under Sofa with Bank

LONG BEACH, March ga masked
robber. who visited the house at 9O3
Pacific avenue last evening, was fright
ened away by the children, two girls
and a 6-year-old boy, Max, but not
before the intruder had made several
attempt to circumvent the youngsters
and search the house.
The boy first encountered the burg
lar in a room on the first floor ana
when the intruder leveled revolver
at him and ordered him to Get out,
the boy crawled under couch ana
lay there screaming.
The burglar went out OF the mouse,
but a little later was met on the Sec
ond floor by the little fellow. The rob-
Der evidently had climbed porch post
and was trying to enter through a
window. The intruder again disap-
peared. Some little time afterward
he was seen on top of an outbu1ldlng
looking into the house. When he
realized he was being watched by the
children he jumped to the ground and
disappeared. %
The boy had his bank, containing 2f
pennies, under the couch and 1t was
in a determination to save this wealth
! that he hid there when first met by
the armed man.
An interesting feature of the story
is that the childrens grandmother, 70
years old, was in the house, but the
children did not tell her of the at
tempted burglary, because she was Ill
After the burglar had finally dlsap-
peared, the children gathered all the
money and valuables which they could
find, stuffed them into sofa cushion
and sat upon the cushion until their
parents returned from their outing.
