FISHERMEN ENRAGED AT
ATTEMPT TO GRAB LAND

SAN PEDRO, July Although no
organization is now maintained by the
local fishermen, who number about 200
men, they are very much worked up
over the lease which was all but
granted to F. E. Shaw at the end of
the Salt Lake wharf, where many of
them anchor their boats.
These fishermen have been trying
for years to get wharf where they
can be secure from the railroad cor
porations, who have gradually en-
croached on their old anchorage
grounds and the space they have here
tofore used for drying and mending
their nets.
Several years ago they applied to
the supervisors of Los Angeles county
for right for $50 feet of frontage on
the inner harbor, but this was denied
them. Honest Uncle George is
today as being the only one who IA
vored their application and he is re-
membered by ALL
Many of the fishermen are away now
on fishing trips, but those who remain
have been worked into frenzy by the
talk around town about the trustees
giving away the last bit of frontage on
the inner harbor. They were greatly
excited yesterday afternoon and last
night and but for the fact that City
Clerk Mason refused to sign his name
to the lease and the restraining order
issued today holds up the grab, there
might have been serious trouble.
The fishermen come from several
countries and make as a class very
good citizens. They are industrious,
saving and lawabiding, but when in
famed by the giving away of the land
they are using for their honest labor
it is difficult to say just how far they
would have gone If the courts had not
held the trustees in check.

MAYOR WOULD PROBE
AQUEDUCT COMPLAINT
ASKS FOR $500 TO USE IN IN
VESTIGATlNG CHARGES
Council Defers Action on Matter Un-
til Next Tuesday, So as to
Hear from Those in
Charge

Mayor Alexander yesterday sent a
message to the city council asking that
$500 be appropriated to his use to in
vestigate the complaints of poor food
and sanitation on the aqueduct.
The council laid the message on the
table. The members of the aqueduct
department had been asked to appear
before the council at its meeting next
Tuesday to explain matters in con-
nection with the food contract and u
was thought better to defer action on
the mayors request until the explana-
tion had been given.
The mayors message is as follows:
July 1, 1909.
ITO the Honorable, the City Council.
"Gentlemen:
Several complaints as to conditions
along the Los Angeles aqueduct have
been received in this office.
"The aqueduct is the greatest enter
prise ever undertaken by the city of
Los Angeles. Thus far the work has
been conducted with phenomenal sue
cess, the citizens of Los Angeles have
confidence in the management, and the
importance of keeping it absolutely free
from even the least taint of suspicion
cannot be exaggerated. If these com
plants be true, conditions should be
rectified at once. If they be untrue, 1t
is of equal Importance that the public
should know it; because false COM
plants, uncontradicted, will only rem
der it more difficult to secure the needed
labor on the work, but might in many
ways be detrimental to the success of
this most necessary undertaking. And
it is due to those directly in charge of
the work that under the circumstances,
the investigation should be made.
Believing it to be for the best in
terests of the city l ask that your
honorable body place at my disposal
the sum of five hundred dollars to be
used in investigating the conditions
along the aqueduct.
Respectfully submitted
MAYOR"

MINUTE CLERK RETURNS
TO HIS COUNCIL DUTIES
City CLERK and Deputy Pleased at Re-
turn of Officer Whose Work
They Have Done

D. NJ. Carroll, the minute clerk of
the city council, has returned from a
Trip of five weeks in the east and he
resumed his duties at the special meet
inc of the council yesterday afternoon.
Roth City Clerk Lelande and Chief
Deputy Wilde are glad to have Carroll
on the joL again. During the first two
weeks of his absence Lelande at
tempted to take the minutes of the
council himself, but found he had to
give up a large part of his own work
to do it.
Wilde was then detailed as minute
clerk and his own duties as chief
deputy suffered to such an extent it
was necessary for him to work extra
hours to keep up.

ENGINE HOUSE LOT
MAY BE PURCHASED
SITE ON EAST VERNON AND
HONDURAS
Gil Buy Property, Mainly to
Learn What Valuation Is
Placed on Ii

The fire commission yesterday morn
ing decided to recommend to the coun-
Gil that fire engine house site be pur-
chased in the vicinity of East Vernon
avenue and Honduras street. The lot
may not be purchased, but the commits
sion has a curiosity to know how much
property will cost in that neighborhood
There are two fire engine houses in
that section of the city, but Chief Lips
declared it was run of sixteen blocks
from the nearest, and if the council was
willing to purchase the lot he was
willing it should.
There is no money in the fire depart
ment appropriation to build houses
with, but the new budget will contain
a sufficient amount to construct at least
half a dozen; and even though it should
not be possible to erect engine houses
on all the sites the city has recently
purchased, yet the fire commission be-
lieves property will never be cheaper,
and it is better to get lots and hold on
to them, especially as city property is
not subject to taxation

TURPENTINE COMPANY MAY
LOSE ITS BOILER PERMIT
Violates Ordinance by Holding Cas-
oIine in Tank Placed in
the Air

The Coleman Turpentine company,
1880 North Main street, has been cited
70 appear before the fire commission at
its meeting next Thursday and show
cause why its permit to maintain a
boiler shall not be revoked,
Two weeks ago the fire commission
granted the boiler permit, but when the
plant began operations it was found i'm
possible to comply with the ordinance
Governing gasoline storage tanks. The
ordinance requires that gasoline tanks
shall be buried underground, but the
tank is placed in the air. This is con-
sdered dangerous, especially in the To-
cality where the plant is situated, and
the commission proposes to revoke the
boiler permit. Without a boiler the
plant cannot do business.

License Places Where Gaso-
line Is Stored

on recommendation of George c SUIT
ton, deputy fire marshal, the fire COM
mission yesterday decided to ask the

establishment where more than five gal
Ions of gasoline are kept at one time
and no automobile garage, public or
private, storing the same amount of
gasoline, shall be operated without a
permit from the fire commission.
The ordinance is made to apply to
those in business now as well as those
who may hereafter desire permits. 1t
is considered necessary as safety
measure against fire.
