MUCH NEEDED PAY
WILL COME TODAY
Former Employees of Humane Animal
League Who Have Suffered
HardshIps to Be
Relieved

"Will tomorrow ever Gomez" has
been the plaintive cry of the former
employees of the Humane Animal
league, who are now out of Jobs and
who have not received their salaries
for more than three and a half
months.
The question they have been asking
will be answered this morning, for
tomorrow" will come today and they
will be able to get the back pay which
so many of them sorely need. Yester-
day Joint resolution was prepared
and will be filed this morning asking
the court to dismiss the injunction
suit against the city auditor, which
has prevented him from issuing pay
warrants to the former employees OF
the Humane Animal league.
Although the persons interested in
bringing the suit got everything they
asked when the Humane Animal
league gave up it's contract with the
city for taking care of the dog pound
and when the new animal commission
that succeeded the league discharged
every employe, including Tommie
Vacher, yet it was not until yester-
day that action was taken to dismiss
the injunction suit SO that these en-
ployes could get their wages.
This apparently unnecessary delay
which the interested employees blame
on Mrs L. E. Giese and her attorney,
Grant Jackson, has been the cause or
real hardship Although each or the
employees has nearly $500 coming to
him in back wages, some of them
have been thrown out of their homes
with their wives and children, be-
cause they could not pay the rent
One man, whose grocer refused MIN
further credit, had to sell his house
hold goods, and his wife returned to
the home of her parents, stating that
she would live with her husband again
when he was able to feed her.
Yesterday a grocer refused further
credit to one of these employees who
has several children and whose wife
is sick. There was little food in his
house and he was much worried to
know how he would feed his family
His landlord also notified him that,
unless the rent was paid this week,
he and his sick wife and children
would have to get out of the little
house they call home.
When Mayor Alexander heard these
hard luck stories he called up Attor-
ney Grant Jackson on the telephone
and suggested he take action as soon
as possible.

Municipal Affairs
SANTA MONICA AVENUE
RESIDENTS ARE WINNERS
Vigorous Protest Against Establish
ment of Industrial District in
Southwest Successful

The fire commission yesterday de-
MED the Fairchild- Gilmore Wilton COM
pany permits to install two gasoline
engines at S37-943 Santa Monica avenue
for the purpose of operating sand and
rack bunl1ers.
The action of the commission was
the result of a vigorous protest made
by property owners in the vicinity of
the proposed rock bunkers. The OBJ
lection was not to the nature Of the
power to be used but against such an
industry as the company proposed es-
tablishing. The protestants declared
the property in the vicinity was built
up with a good class of residences and
they wanted their neighborhood a re-
sidence district.
1t was a residence district until a
few weeks ago when the council passed
an ordinance exempting if from the
residence district and making it in
dustrial property. AS soon as the ac-
tion of the council became known, the
property owners began circulating a
petition asking the council to repeal
the ordinance making it an industrial
district A portion of this petition was
presented to the council Tuesday, but,
as it bore only the signatures of eleven
property owners, the council took no
action. The matter was laid over until
next Tuesday because it was under
stood that large petition to the same
effect would be filed.
The understanding proved correct for
the larger petition was filed with the
city clerk yesterday. 1t contains a
large number of signatures and 1t is
probable the council will rescind its
action and again place the district
under the operations of the residence
ordinance. This district is bounded
by Thirty-seventh place. McClintock
and Santa Monica avenues.

of the Majestic Theater building, is
now daily engaged in the task Of teach
ing two big classes of young men ana
women the rudiments of acting. his

brought about through the enforced
retirement of Hobart BosWorth, last
seasons director because of Illness
Up to a few days before the fall
term of the school opened Mr.. Bos-
worth expected to return to his work.
Then his physicians forbade it. By
that time it was too late to get COM
petent man here from the east in time
for the beginning of the term, and
consequently Mr. Morosco himself
stepped into the breach. new d.
rector has been engaged, but will not
be here before next month.

in the school is the engagement Of
two of the pupils for important roles

comedy of Lady Frederick" This is
the piece in which Ethel Barrymore

Schedule of Pedestrians, Bicycles,
Automobiles and Other Vehicles
Gathered by Property Owners

The city engineer yesterday filed
with the board Of public works a
schedule of traffic that passes through
the Third street tunnel between .
o'clock in the morning and o'clock
at night. To secure these figures, the
city engineer placed men at each en-
trance to the tunnel and these men
counted the traffic six consecutive
days
The following averages for a days
traffic through this tunnel Is the re-
suit: Pedestrians, 1887; bicycles
1,129; automobiles, 4O2; other vehicles
about 1400.

for the construction of other tunnels

tunnel at Second street asserted the
Third street tunnel was filled to ca
pacity and that the city's growth In
the hill district would stop unless an
other tunnel was bored. The figures
of the city engineer do not prove the

PLANS FOR SALT WATER
PUMPING PLANT ABANDONED
City Engineer Reports There Is Not
Room Enough on Fourth Street,
San Pedro, for Station

The plans Of the fire commission to
locate the new high pressure salt
water pumping station for San Pedro
on a portion of Fourth street in the
harbor city had to be abandoned when
the city engineer yesterday reported
to the commission that there would
not be room enough on the portion of
the street suggested to install the
plant.
When this advice was received from
the city engineer, the commission gave
UP the idea of the site it had Sc
Iected, but did not give up its idea
of the salt water plant. Chief Lips
estimates it will cost a little over $4O,-
0L0 to construct and equip the kind of
plant he recommends, and, If the city
has to purchase a site, it will cost
more.
The commission decided to recon-
mend to the council that site be Sc
cured near the San Pedro city hall
and that the money necessary for
the salt water plant be appropriated
from the general expense fund.

that this work be done at once. When
