ROAD MAKING BILL
DEEMED EXORBlTANT
INGLEWOOD WATER COMPANY
ASKS $1851.43
Engineer of Board of Public Works
Advises That 5000 Would Be AM
pie Compensation for What
Has Been Done

What constitutes q ''passable" road
is the point in controversy between
the city and the Inglewood Water COM
pany. Both have most decided views
on the subject, and the views of both
are at wide variance. The Inglewood
company says it costs $1S51.43 to con-
Struct a pasSable road. The board of
public works estimates that a liberal
amount is 5000 and has asked the
council to reduce the bill of the Ingle-
wood company to that figure.
The controversy dates back to 1905,
when H. T. Stafford was city engineer.
At that time the city wanted a right
of way for the outfaIl sewer and made
arrangements with the Inglewood Wa
ter company for the abandonment Of
Laurel street, to be used for the right
of way. In consideration of this aban-
Comment the city agreed, over the sig
nature of Mr.. Stafford, to build a
''passable'' road on the east, west and
north sides of block 16, Inglewood.
THE water company was authorized
t. go ahead, do the work of making
the "passable" road and charge the
bill to the city.
When the board of public works took
office nothing was known of this agree
ment. The water company had the
signed authorization, but the city had
nothing. It was not until fourteen
months after the date of the agree
ment that the water company con-
structed the road and then sent the
bill to the city for $1S51.43.
AS soon as the bill was received
Homer Hamlin, city engineer, investi-
gated the road and declared the work
actually done was not worth more than
$396.60. But what has been done, in
Mr.. Hamlin's opinion, is more than
enough to make a passable road. A
passable road would not have cost more
than $154.60 he says, and he is con-
fident the city could have built it for
$780,
On the advice of the engineer the
board of public works is willing to
grant 5000.

HOPE SHINING FROM A DISMAL
 SWAMP

The 60th congress comes to an end with record notable for what it has not, rather than what it has done. Among the subjects to which congress has given no serious attention are:
 A parcels post, postal savings banks, inheritance tax, an antitrust law, an effective railway rate law, banking and financial legislation, statehood for Ari- zona and New Mexico, child and woman labor, children's, bureau, employers liability, more equitable adjustment of the salaries of minor government enl- ployes, limitation of the powers of in junction, better country roads, water way improvement, conservation of the forests, soils, minerals, water and other public utilities, state supervision or ownership of natural monopolies like the telegraph, railroads, express compan- ies and the like, navy reorganization, army reforms, limitations on the grant of monopolies to power companies using public streams and forests, simplifica- tion in legal procedure, etc
 Congress has occupied the time con sidering an increase of salaries to the speaker, the vice president and members of the federal judiciary, in "vindicat- ing'' the more or less sacred honor of it's membership, in placing limitations on the effectiveness of the secret ser vice and other agencies calculated to re- strain criminal operations, in expunging from the record sentences and para graphs uncomplimentary' or unpleasant in their sound, in abusing Roosevelt, in debating the omnibus claims bill Ga measure appropriating large sums of government money for claims supposed to have been incurred during the Civil war, and now largely in the hands of speculative lobbyists), in opposing the forestry service, in adjourning over from Thursday until Monday, .n sustain ling the power of the speaker and the tcommittee on rules, and in drawing sal aries at $7,50o per annum for the same, together with mileage allowance, an al lowsnce for stationery, free barber ser vice, cologne, magazines, small graft, etc.
 Encouraging symptoms which have come to the surface are the two insur- Trections in the house and in the senate. Tn the house a small body of insurgent members, headed by Victor Murdock, Augustus Gardner, w. P Hepburn and others, led movement to bring about 8 new plan in the appointment of com mittees; in the senate small group, among whom were Senators Dixon, La
 Toilette, CuInmins and Borah, led a movement for breaking the ring control of Aldrich, Hale, Lodge, Gallinger and the few other senators who control a large majority of the committees These movements will be continued in the 61st congress.
 The record of the Goth congress would be dismal, indeed, were it not for the insurrection movement. That saves the day. All is not lost to the people

CANCER is ON THE INCREASE.
Theory That Dreadful Disease May Be
Caused by Excessive Eating
of Meat.

One Of the latest theories pro-
most alarming increase in the deaths
from cancer is that 1t may be caused
by excessive meat eating and by eat
ing bad meat.
Statistics show In the annual re-
port to the state health department
that the average death rate from can
Ger has increased in the last Is years
a little over 2S per cent
The Chicago board of health some
time ago discovered that the percent
age of deaths among immigrants from
cancer was far in excess of the death
rate from the same disease in the
countries they had left. The physician
who undertook to investigate and dis
cover tie causes for this found the
mortality records showed that deaths
from cancer among immigrants from
Oriental countries and native Ameri.
cans were much less in proportion to
numbers than among Germans and i'm
migrants from Southeastern Europe.
On studying their diet he found the
Orientals did not eat meat and the
Americans comparatively little, while
the people of other nationalities ate
flesh in large quantities.
Another theory is that cancer comes
largely from indigestion and conse-
quent poisoning of the system through
lack of proper mastication Of ones
food and also through overeating, so
that where people eat largely of meat
and are in the habit of "bolting' their
food cancer is more than likely to in
crease.
To eat slowly does not necessarily
imply masticating properly, for one
can dilly-dally and not chew. In any
event, the careful chewing OF food Is
absolutely ~ccessary to good health
Slow chewing prevents over feeding
and the consequent choking up of the
system and results in a clearer brain
and more active and beautiful body
Every one knows that too much
fuel chokes an engine, and so in like
fashion too much food chokes the
body
At it's best, cancer is frightful dis
ease, painful and disgusting, and
every care should be taken by all to
avoid it. If prevention can do it,
every one should join in the crusade
and by right diet and proper eating
ward off one of the greatest curses Of
| humanity.

GIVE GHOST BLACK EYES.
Fearless Youths Spoil Fun of Mean
Spook Who Frightened Timid
Young Lasses.

Philadelphia.-It was a very much
limped home from the vicinity of st.
Mary's cemetery, Gloucester, late one
night recently. For weeks the ghost"
had had fun of its own, frightening
many timid lasses whose waists were
concealed my manly coat sleeves, for
that particular vicinity is a favorite
spot for twos of kind in the spring
evenings. Many of the more timid
ones stunned the place, declining in
vitations to go for a walk, and the
enshrouded spook was about having
the field all to itself when some hardy
young men of the neighborhood de-
cided that the time had arrived to
bring about change.
They gathered in numbers amid the
shadows of the trees, silent and de-
termined. They had not been posted
long when the white-robed figure ap-
peared along the walk. Some of them
felt trifle creepy, even then, but
the drawer among them led the at
tack, and in about four minutes that
ghost" was loudly crying for mercy.
What the crowd of youths did to il
was enough. They slammed II and
pounded it and thumped it, tore its
white shroud to shreds and gave it
black eyes and such kicks as will COM
pei it to eat from the mantel shelf
for week. But the love-lorn lasses
will have their walks again.
