IMPROVEMENT DEMANDS
CONFRONT CITY COUNCIL
WestmoreIand Company Refuses to
Donate Ten-Foot Strip for Widen-
ing of Lester Avenue

PASADENA, Aug. 1O.-Street mat
ters are bothering the city council
dominance, as was eVinCed by the pre-
dominance Of those questions in today s
session. First comes the widening of
Lester avenue. The Prospect park
residents have offered ten feet on one
side of the street which it has re-
served for this purpose providing the
Westmoreland company on the other
side will contribute ten feet. Not hav-
ing reserved ten feet, the Westmore-
land company objects. saying the cut
would materially injure its property.
There is a chance that the matter
will be settled by a compromise in
which the street will be Widened twen-
ty feet from Orange Grove avenue to
Scott place and fifteen feet from Scott
place to the Arroyo Previous action
on the petition for the widening was
rescinded today by the council pend
ing an agreement by the parties con-
cerned.
North Raymond avenue is another
source of trouble. 1t was hard work
getting the petition for the improve
ment and resurfaceing of this street
started and now it has been discov-
cred the contract specifications call
for a paving for which an eastern
company claims exclusive rights and
royalties for every yard it does not
lay itself The city does not want a
law suit and win pause TO consider

MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT
MAKES PROFIT FOR YEAR
Cost of Production Cut Down and
Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars
Over Expenses Made

PASADENA, Aug. 10.-That the mu-
nicipal electric light plant, even with
its limited capacity, a matter which
is now being remedied, has been d
success, is conyincingly proved by the
annual report submitted to the city
council today bv Manager c. w.
Koiner. During the past year the de-
partment has not only ut down the
cost of production per kilOwatt hour.
but has made enough over all expenses
to leave a tidy sum on hand.
The total revenue Of the year was
S49, ,435.04 and of this 55 per cent was
the gross profit. After paying all the
operating expenses, the balance was
applied for paying the interests on
bonds and the retirement of those
which came due during the year. The
amount of cash on hand July l was
S244493, which is the net profit on the
plant for the year
Manager Koiner estimates the pres
ent worth Of the plant at $276 696.S5, al
though it has cost the city S312, 777.73.
This discrepancy of in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 is accounted for only
in slight degree by the depreciation
of the plant. The majority Of the sum
represents mistakes made in installing
machinery and fixtures before Manager
Koiner took hold of the work and the
subsequent necessity of correcting these
mistakes.

CONTRABAND CHINESE ARE
ARRESTED AT SANTA ANA
Alleged That AsiatIc Offered Sheriff
Bribe to Free Three
Celestials

SANTA ANA, Aug. 10.-Three con-
traband Chinese were arrested this
afternoon on the western outskirts OF
the city and landed in Jail to await
the action of the government immigra-
tion officers at Los Angeles, who have
been apprised of the capture.
The men give the names of Sink
Luke, On Bak and Sing Pun, and Sing
Luke, who speaks fairly good English,
offered the arresting officer, Deputy
Sheriff Cervantes, four hundred dol
lars if he would pilot them to the
Chinese gardens on West Fifth street
and allow them to go free from there.
The men had only a small sum of
money in their possession, but it Is be-
lieved from their knowledge of the
presence here of other Chinese that
arrangements had been made to sup
ply them with money for possible
needs, and acting on that assumption
the officers will make a thorough
search for other contraband Chinese
who are believed to be in hiding here
abouts. The men admitted they came
here from Mexico. but refused to say
where they crossed the boundary.

FAULT WITH BOOKS
CRITICISES WAY OF KEEPING
CITY RECORDS
Expert Condemns Trustees for Letting
Contracts Without Calling for
Competitive 5lds-Praise
for City Clerk
Especial to The Herald

REDONDO BEACH, Aug. 10.-Wal-
ter Wright, expert accountant, who
has been inspecting the records of the
city, minces 10 words in his criticism
of the manner in which contracts have
been let without bids by the present
and past boards of trustees OF this city.
His report was filed with the city clerk
today.
Wright claims that in many inr
stances money has been spent con-
trary to the statutes and makes tile
following statement:
'The condition of many Of the rec
ords for the years preceding 1908 could
hardly be criticised too severely, and
the comparative disregard for their
safe keeping is a reflection on the pres
ent administration. 1t is an unfor-
tunate fact that in elective municipal
offices the immediate incumbents OF
the position are too frequently disposed
to limit their interest in the conduct
of the office to the period of their as
sociation with it."
The report also calls attention to the
fact that the annual licenses on the
street cars running in the city limits
are long overdue.
A refreshing variation in the report
is the commendation of the books of
City Clerk j. c. Creller, to whom the
expert gives great credit for the sat
isfactory condition of the accounts in
his immediate charge.
The Los Angeles Pacific railroad, by
communication, appeared before the
city trustees, sitting as board OF
equalization, with the request that its
assessment be reduced, protesting that
the assessment as turned in to the
board was too high.
