"The fire box which has been sold
to the city is an ordinary night watch
mans signal box of the interfering type
with a cheap telephone jack and a
cheap key and bell for answering.
When it came to line construction a
report was made that the average
amount of wire for the one-party line
like the Cregier system is five times
more than is needed for the ten-party
series circuits. The single lines have
nearly as much cost of maintenance as
ten-party lines, and the percentage of
maintenance would be nearly 900 per
cent more. Renewal cost is very much
greater for the single wire system. All
that part of the report was thrown
out by the committee, which evidently
did not want anything derogatory TO
the Cregier exhibit.
"All through the tests and investiga-
ton it was quite plain that Mr. Mushet
was determined to have his own way.
When the subject of cost came up and
it was likely that it might be shown
that the city would be saddled with
much larger expenditures than that
involved in the bid, every effort was
made to squelch the subject"
f. V. owen, contract manager for
the Merchants Fire Despatch, and an
authority on fire alarm signaling, who
watched the tests closely, indorses the
opinion of Mr. Hawvichorst. 81 believe
the whole matter was dragged into
politics to help Mr.. Mushet. The city
is being saddled with a great expense
which does not show in the contract
with the Cregier company. They are
not responsible for the Gable installa-
ton which will be necessary to bring
the system down to the main head
quarters, nor can they be held for the

additional maintenance cost their sys-
tenn will entail.
'On the other hand, the cheapest
kind of underground cable costs S345
thousand feet, or $5S92.5O. Supposing
you have conduits available without
charge from the public service cor
porations, which is not the case, it
would take $1004.50 to pull the cable
through, and for transferring the of
flee equipment an additional $500,
which is much too low. If necessary
to put the cable underground, which
will eventually be done if the system
is retained, the trench and conduit Will
easily cost S1.10 a foot Including this
and the manholes, but not counting
incidentals, as superintendent of con-
struction, drayage and similar Items,
I figure the total cost of bringing the
University station down to the head
quarters at $31 ,497, all of which VIII be
saddled on the city in addition to the
present contract"
The fire department, officers and men.
is said to be a unit in condemning
the Mushet method of forcing de-
cision as to supplying additional boxes
Chief Lips on whom the responsibility
will rest. is particularly disappointed
in the manner in which the situation
has been handled.
IF the facts about this Cregier con-
tract were fully appreciated there
would be a mob of excited citizens
around the city hall and somebody
would get a recall" said Charles Nc
Keag. secretary of the fire commits

they have taken care of one part of

fering as severely and must be taken

alarms over the system with line
broken and normal either side of a

1.-THE exhibit of the Cregier system
did not impress the experts favorably,
for it's details were of the commercial
type, which may be bought at the
supply houses. The boxes which the
city will get for $6S can be secured
for less than half that sum. The sys-
tenn has plain telephone exchange
with registers of the district telegraph
kind, the relays were of the cheap
est sort and an ordinary door bell at
tracted the attention of the operator,
who had to be ready at all times to
hold the plugs in order to get the calls.
said to Mr.. Cregier, This will require
practically two operators at all times
which he admitted.
Test Proves Failure
1.-THE cast-iron police boxes shown
had a cheap type of telephone receiver
and transmitter. The experts found 1t
impossible to secure the test on ring
ing in ON the city police circuit, which
Mr.. Cregier said he would not consent
to, that he would call in his lawyer
first. The council committee objected
to a test on the fire alarm boxes of
the Cregier system. The specifications
were that at least three rounds must
print on tape. When four boxes were
pulled the test was all right, but when
six boxes were pulled the test proved
an absolute failure One box quali-
fed, one printed two times and all
the rest was so mixed up that nothing
could be made of it. An effort was
made to get six boxes in at least two
times. but after repeated tests it was

MAY PUT ON MOTOR
CARS TO LA CANADA
Salt Lake Road Said to Be Planning
Service in Vicinity of Glen
dale and Verdugo
Canyon

1t is rumored the Salt Lake railroad
will put on a motor service in the vi
cinity of Glendale and Verdugo can
yon. 1t is stated La Canada has raised
$4,000 toward a $4,000 bonus to the
Salt Lake railroad if that road will go
SO far as to extend its line to La
Canada.
1t is admitted by the railroad man
agement that an order for motor car
has been placed for delivery in Febru-
ary, and that at that time it will be put
in operation.
General Manager Wells of the Salt
Lake railroad is out of the city, but MS
assistant, Mr.. Balch, states that La
Canada persons held a conference with
his CHIEF concerning the motor car
traffic into that territory, but that he
does not know whether any positive
decision was reached for the present.
Another rumor is current to the ef-
feet that when the Glendale line is
equipped with motor cars branch will
be built east from Glendale through
Eagle Rock to Pasadena, which would
give the Salt Lake a circular route
through a beautiful scenic country.

Colonel Is Interrupted
Unfortunately for the colonel there
was one one drunken advocate OF
Mushet who was so jubilant in his sup
port of Mushet that he interrupted the
speaker with continued drunken bawl-
ings and poundings on the long beer
strewn glasses and cigar butts. II
finally was necessary to drag the
drunken man cut of the hall by way of
a side door, in order that the colonel
might not be disturbed.
1--WE want a wide open town. We
will get it. Mushet is our friend. Vote
for him." was the consensus of the re-
marks of Carl Unger. Loud applause
followed his speech. He, more than
any other speaker, seemed to voice the
general sentiment of those present.
Beery Ones QuIzzed
Arthur Grosser, who has been ar
rested numerous times on charges Of
running a blind pig, and Charles Sad
dler former police commissioner of the
Harper maladministration, were much
in evidence, buzzing the beery ones and
making life generally rosy for those
who were rapidly approaching the state
of insobriety.
Most of the candidates who appeared
carried with them their usual follow
ing, seekers after free beer, free cigars
and a few free dollars. Frank Herald,
DOC" Houghton, the physic phen-
omona, Ethan Allen and P. C. Null
oueeny, were on hand distributing liter
ature and making hot air utterances in
an effort to keep 1.-The boys" in line.
But there is one saving grace of the
orgy-most of those present are not
voters.
After everybody had been given an
opportunity to speak the chairman said
"There being no more speakers l de-
clare an adjournment to the beer.
There is plenty of beer if there are not
plenty of speakers"
The meeting broke up when the beer
kegs were empty and when all who
could not sit at the tables had either
staggered home or had fallen asleep on
the floor.

hospital found she had not sustained seri-
Gus injury.
Mr.. Finley. who was returning from the
Chevy Chase Club with two friends, was
operating his car. While near Pierce Mill
road the binding headlight of an electric
car combined with the absence of a light
on the buggy made it impossible for him
to see the latter vehicle. Mr.. Finley re-
duced the speed of his car as he ap-
preached the street car, but about the
time the latter vehicle appeared the acci-
dent occurred.
The buggy was partly demolished and
the automobile slightly damaged. Mrs

his companions and hurried to the hospi-
tai. After receiving treatment she was
removed to her home, 1915 u street. Mr..
