"A number Of Odd Fellows have,
therefore, taken upon themselves the
arranging of the details of a monster
celebration to be held at Long Beach,
Monday, April 26 next, which will in
clude music by the bands and others,
oratlons by prominent members of the
order, and many other desirable fea-
lures. In the afternoon there will be a
mammoth street parade in which all
branches of the order will participate,
followed by competitive drill by sew
eral cantons Of the Third regiment

eral-to be held during the coming sum-
mer. In the evening a grand military
ball at the Auditorium on the pier will
happily conclude the festivities of the
day.
''The use of the pier has been secured
for the day, which will give ample
accommodation for the largest gather
ing of Odd Fellows ever assembled in
California. The spacious Auditorium
with all it's floor and gallery space, will
comfortably allow all to enjoy the en-
tertainments of the day. while the
lower deck, furnished with chairs and
tables. will afford abundant opportunity
Tor picnic parties to enjoy themselves
to the limit. Arrangements have been
made with the transportation compa-
MES for special cars, so that none will
be prevented from participating in all
OF the pleasures of the celebration.
It is highly important that all Odd
Fellows boost! BOOST! boost!!! for all
they are worth to make this occasion
successful to the last degree. Let each
make it a personal celebration and in
duce as many others to join as pos
sible, thereby making it a representa-

Rebekahs Of Southern California.
I'VE, your committee would urge
each lodge to make it a special order

EMERGENCY BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS
IN order 10 provide for unforeseen budget ex-
penditures the charter empowers the Controller
to issue special revenue. bonds to supply money
II pay these emergency budget appropriations. AMI
these special revenue bonds must he redeemed and
paid of the levy OF the next succeeding
year after they issued and sold. It is obvious.
therefore that in order to at the whole aHloun
appropriated in one year to cover the cost Of
the CITY government it is necessary to add t. the
total appropriations contained the yearly budget
the appropriations contained in this emergency
budget account. known as the special revenue bond
fund.
If the excellent scheme prepared ny MI Mac
Innes for stating budget appropriations was am
plihed SO as include along with the regular
budget each year the appropriations of the emer-
gencv special revenue bond account the public
would be able without difficulty get tho
total amount expended in any year for the city
government.
There is another feature which ought to be added
TO the new scheme TO make II complete and enable
the public to ascertain the actual amount of money
expended each year Of the appropriations.
The charter report of the Controller for 1908 shows
that Al the end Of last year there remained
expended N7S22Os2 50 Of budget appropriations for
that and previous years, This amount ought at
that date 70 have been in the city treasury avail
able for expenditure. or If required. available
for transfer to the general fund. The charter re-
port for the wear shows that there were out
standing and unp id al the end of 1898 warrants
issued in that year for the payment Of budget ap-
pr priations the amount of S1,6n3o46 IS. In or
der enable the public to ascertain the actual
amount OF money paid for the cost Of city gov
ernment the appropriations Tor the year should be
supplemented by a statement of the amount act
ualy expended during the year the amount Of the
unexpended balances on hand and the amount of
the current years warrants outstanding and un-
paid a end of the year
Amplihed so include these features the new
plan for reclassfyng the city budgets would not
only make them intelgihle TO the general public
but would place interested taxpayers in possession
of the essential Information necessary inteli

And If the lucid method of stating the
budgets applied to all the other expenditures
Of the city the present more or less unintelgible

Chapter IS of the laws of 1889 allows an excess
charge of 10 cents by railroads where passengers
have failed purchase tickets. but this extra
charge is not allowed where the distance paid Tor
is wholly within the limits of incorporated city
At the time this law passed no part or the

According to Commissioner Bassetts opinion the
company maintained that it had a vested right
to charge this extra rate He maintained that the
act of 1889 was mere regulation as TO the method
OF collecting fares and granted property right
It provided expressly that this excess fare should
be returned. and no more secures TO the company

To one of those whom the out
going president has found not just
of the time-serving pack, he recent
ly remarked: You are one of six
who will remember me 80 days
from now"
To one who had suggested that
he had made a record which would
have its place in history he said:
"No. 1t is just a decent admins
tration. That is all. | have been
loyal to those friends of Lincoln
the plain people. But that is ALL
But 1t is not all. After seven
years of daily visiting at the white
house, seeing much of men and
things, and from the point of view
of confidence and nearness, l am
inclined to think the stature of this
president is second only to that Of
that great model which he loves
Lincoln.
He is a great man, and one like
