DOG POUND TRANSFER
IS DELAYED ONE WEEK
Failure of Humane Animal League to
Give Up Contract Ties Hands
of City Council

Because the directors of the Humane
Animal league have not formally au-
thorized the officers to give up the
contract with the city, it could not be
rescinded by the city council yesterday
and action in the matter was post
poned one week.
This was reported to the council by
City Attorney Hewitt He said that
the directors informally had authorized
the giving up of the contract, but that
he could not recommend it until it had
been done in formal meeting. The di-
rectors of the organization will be
called together the latter part of this
week and are expected to give the
necessary authority without trouble.
When the contract is rescinded, the
matter of handling the dog pound will
fall into the hands of the new COM
mission appointed last week. All debts
incurred by the league in the operation
of the pound will be paid by the new
commission and those who have
brought the injunction suit that has
prevented the payment of these debts
will withdraw their suit

BIG PAVING CONTRACT
ORDERED IN SOUTHWEST
Oiled Macadam Is Plan for BouIeVards
and Streets in Normandle
Avenue Section

Proceedings to improve a large dis
trict in the southwestern part of the
city were begun yesterday when the
council instructed the city engineer to
draw plans and specifications for paw
ing with oiled macadam Western ave-
nue., Hobart and Harvard boulevards,
from Washington to Adams street; La
Sale street, from Twenty-second to
Washington: Washington, from West
ern to Normandie, and all the cross
streets embraced in this district.
This work is all embraced in one pro-
ceeding and will be done under the
bond provision of the Vrooman act.
The cost will not be excessive, as oiled
macadam can be constructed for nearly
the same cost as gravel and oil. The
city engineer considers that the oiled
macadam surface is superior to asphalt
for residence street purposes. This sur
facing has not been adopted generally
in Los Angeles, as it has only been
during the last few months that the
specifications for it have become a part
of Los Angeles street proceedings, but
a number OF streets already are being
improved with this material.

COUNCIL HEAD GETS
WORST JAR OF YEAR
CITY SOL0NS HAVE A QUORUM
ALMOST ON TIME
Even Lyon Asks Permission to Leave
the Chamber to Answer
Ring of TeIe-
phone

President Pease of the city council is
somewhat past the prime of life, but
he still has considerable vitality left in
his system, and this was proved be-
yond doubt yesterday when he was able
to preside through an entire session Of
the council after one of the most serious
shocks that his nervous system has had
in recent years. This was that the
council began its morning session al
most on time. 1t was only ten minutes
after 10 by the clock in the council
chamber when the minute clerk called
the roll.
But this was not all. The presidents
gasp of astonishment hardly had ceased
to echo through the corridors when
Wren and Clampitt came in, almost on
time. The president nervously wiped
his eyes as though he feared that, in
his declining years, his eyesight was
playing him tricks, but another glance
assured him that these two always
tardy councilmen were really in their
seats, and he smiled a beatifiC smile.
He had been so thoroughly Jared
that he hardly noticed a third most
unusual proceeding. That was that
Lyon formally asked permission to
leave the room and answer a telephone
call.
Although the council rules require
it, this is the first time permission has
has been in office. To be sure, Lyon
did not so far forget himself, when
about half an hour later he again
wanted to go into the committee room,
and as usual slipped out without the
presidents notice, closely followed by
Wallace, who is one of the most per-
sistent violators of the rule requiring
permission to leave the council cham
ber.
Every member of the council except
Dromgold attended the session yes
terday.
Blanchard has returned from his sec
ond long leave of absence this summer
and probably will not ask for another
leave for a week or two. Wren leaves
today for a three weeks leave of alb
sence, but Dromgold is expected back
from his vacation next Tuesday.
The stationing of policeman at the
gate that divides the council forum
from the lobby has produced happy re-
suits, and business is conducted more
expeditiously This was shown yester-
day when the days business was
finished by 1890 o'clock.

SALARY FOR AN INSPECTOR
GIVEN HOUSING COMMISSION
Council Readily Transfers Twelve
Hundred Dollars from General
Expense Fund

On recommendation of City Auditor
Mushet, the council yesterday amended
the salary ordinance of the housing
commission and transferred $1,000 from
the general expense fund to the COM
mission fund to pay the salary of an
inspector.
1t is so seldom the auditor recon-
mends the expenditure of any money
that the council was astonished, and
because of the source from which 1t
came readily voted the $1,000.
Councilman Wallace declared he had
gone through several of the courts
with the housing commission and the
city auditor and was surprised at the
work this commission had done and
still had to do. He said there are
more than 100 courts in Los Angeles,
in which about 10000 persons are
housed, and that while many of these
congested districts had been improved
by the efforts. of the commission, there
still was much to do and that an in
spector was badly needed. He declared
Miss Won Wagner, the expert en-
ployed by the housing. commission, was
a most valuable acquisition to the city.

BOARD OF HEALTH SCRIBE
DECLARED OUT OF A JOB
H. C. Arnold, Secretary, Given Sum-
mary Notice by His Superiors at.
Yesterdays Meeting

The board of health yesterday de-
clared the Office of secretary to the
board vacant. This is polite way of
dismissing H. c. Arnold, who has been
acting as secretary of the board, and
that they meant to get rid Of Arnold
was shown by the statement, written
in the minutes, that he is incompetent
and unsatisfactory to the board.
Arnold was appointed June 30 as
secretary and telephone operator, at
a salary of SIS a month At the first
meeting of the board at which he acted
he surprised the board members by
taking an active part in the discussion.
The question of the settlement nurses
was under consideration. This is the
questions on which Drs Gibbons and
Chambers divided, and Arnold sided
with Chambers.
But DR.. Chambers evidently did not
consider Arnold desirable as an ally,
because it was he who moved the po-
sition be vacated last night and he
was quickly seconded by DR.. Gibbons.

REQUESTS CIVIL SERVICE
WAIVED FOR SAN PEDRANS
Council Would Retain Members of
Former Police Force at
iarbor

Bv a vote of five to three the coun-
ell yesterday passed a resolution ask
ing the police commission to request
the civil service commission to waive
civil service rules in the cases Of men,
bers of the San Pedro police force
who have been employed in that ca
pacity more than one year
The police force at San Pedro, prior
to consolidation with Los Angeles, was
composed of four men. One of these
men had been on the force more than
four years and another more than a
year and a half. Both We're reluctant
to give up their positions and in an
effort to keep them without subjecting
them to the necessity of taking the
civil service examination. Healy intro
duce the resolution that will be pre-
sented to the police commission.
President Pease and Councilmen
Wallace and Wren voted against the
resolution, declaring they preferred to
let the police commission attend to it's
own business in its own way.

OPPOSES RAISE FOR
CHAIN GANG GUARDS
CHIEF OF POLICE APPEARS
BEFORE COUNCIL
Dishman Tells Members of City's Gov
ernng Body Workhouse Men Are
Paid More Than They
Are Worth

A method of disbursing public funds,
peculiar to the present city council,
was presented yesterday when the ina
jority of that body insisted on giving
Chief of Police Dishman some money
for his department that he did not
want. Chief Dishman was almost ready
to get down on his knees and plead
with the council not to give him this
money, but If there had been six votes
instead of only five he would have got
it anyhow. The law that requires six
votes when money is to be expended Is
all that prevented the extra eXpendf-
ture and it may yet be made for the
matter has only been held i2 aoeyance
four weeks.
The matter was brought up by the
salary ordinance for the police depart
ment that has been held up for several
weeks. When the ordinance was first
presented Healy, Lyon, Clampitr and
Yonkln wanted to increase the wages
of the chain gang guards to the same
that regular patrolman receive. Chief
Dishman declared he mad not made any
such recommendation and did not be"
lieYe the increase was justified.
AS there were not enough votes the
ordinance was laid over until yesterday
morning when it again came up and
the efforts of the four couneilmen who
want to increase the pay of the chain
gang guards were partially abetted by
Blanchard. who wanted the matter to
go over for further consideration, Wal
lace, Wren and Pease took sides with
the chief.
Chief Dishman told the council yes
terday that it would be an injustice to
the regular patrolmen to place the
chain gang guards on the same foot
ing. He said the patrolmen work seven
days a week with only fifteen days va
cation in the summer. The chain gang
guards, he said, did not work Sundays,
holidays, Saturday afternoons or i'll
wet weather, and altogether they had
about 100 days vacation every year.
He declared these guards were all
men who had not been able TO pass the
civil service examination for patrolmen
and that they were now paid too much.
He said that if the work they did was
by private contract he could get it
done for $50 or $50 month, while the
city pays each chain gang guard $S3.3S
a month.
The matter will come up again IN
four weeks with probably the same de-
mand on the part of the councilmen
and the same opposition from the
chief.

PLAN
TO Be ABANDONED
SEWERS TO BE BUILT FROM
TAX LEVY
Council Practically Agrees to Policy
Outlined by Board of Public
Works as Result of
Many Protests

1t is highly improbable any more at
tempts will be made to construct storm
drains by the district plan of assess
ment. While the council yesterday did
not outline the policy the board OF
public works asked of it, it took such
steps that the board of public works
can take no other view. Following the
councils action yesterday the board
will probably instruct the city engi-
neer to discontinue all storm drain
proceedings that have been begun un-
der the district plan
The council ordered proceedings
abandoned on both the Alameda and
the Wilton district storm drains.
In the case of the Alameda street
drain, the matter was presented to the
council by a report of the board OF
public works, which told Of the strong
sentiment against paying for the drain
on the part of affected property own
ers and asked if the council would ap-
propriate money from the general eX-
pense fund to construct the drain. This
was impossible as the improvement will
cost about $174,0OO, which is more than
half the general expense fund
Refuse to Pay Twice
Joseph Mesmer and other protesting
property owners told the council the
same things they told the board of
public works last Friday, that they
did not propose to pay for their own
storm drain when they had helped pay
for other storm drains in the city by
bonds. But little argument was neces-
sary to induce the council to order
proceedings abandoned.
In the case of the Wilton storm drain,
otherwise known as the Pico Heights
district, a protest signed by about zoo
property owners was presented, but as
it was so large the city engineer asked
two weeks longer to check it up. But
the city engineer will be spared this
task as the council took the same
action as in the Alameda street case
and ordered proceedings abandoned.
The protesting property owners said
they did not want the water taken off
of Pico street, that that was the only
means they had of flushing the street.
Councilman Wallace, chairman of the
finance committee, and Councilman
Yonkin agreed the only way the city
will ever build storm drains will be by
setting aside a certain portion of the
tax levy every year, as is done in the
case of bridges. This will be a prob
lem the next council will have to face.

CHIEF GIVES BAD RECORD
FOR ACCUSED OFFICERS
C. r. McMurray and Byron {. Black
Charged with Long List of VIOLA
tons of the Regulations

If all that Chief of Police Dishman
says about them is true Patrolmen c.
r. McMurray and Byron E. Black must
be about the wickedest men in Los
Angeles.
In a report to the police commission
last night, the chief said he had sus-
pended these two officers for the fol-
lowing offenses:
Disrespect to superior officers.
Ineompetency and incapacity.
Neglect of duty.
Conduct unbecoming officers and
gentlemen.
Conduct subversive of good order and
the discipline of the department.
And then, to cap the climax, just as if
all these were not enough, he adds,
neglect to observe and conform to the
rules of the department.
The men say they are not guilty of
half these things and demanded trial
by the police commission. The trial
was set for September 16.

ers in Highland Park who declared
their lives were endangered by the
speed at which the Santa Fe trains
crossed these streets.
Another petition was presented ask
ing the council to pass an ordinance re-
stricting the speed to ter miles an hour
at these points. This was referred TO
the city attorney to determine the
jurisdiction of the council. The coun-
Gil does not believe it has the authority
to limit the speed at these specific
places unless it limits All trains to ten
miles an hour in the city limits. 1t
was explained the Santa Fe trains run
at high speed at the places named in
order to get over the grade beyond.
