aside your mundane existence and af-

become as a fuel. 1t is largely used
for the propulsion of automobiles and
boats, and has become a means of
economy and large possibilities in

Municipal Affairs
CITIZENS OVERLOOK
CONDUIT ORDINANCE
FAIL TO FILE PETITIONS TO
BURY WIRES
Property Owners Have Until Septem-
Der 80 to Ask That Poles Be
Removed from Certain
District

Los Angeles property owners appear
to have overlooked the fact that Los
Angeles has a conduit ordinance, as
no applications to have poles and wires
taken off the streets have been filed to
date. The law gives property owners
until September 80 to make petitions
to have poles and wires removed from
a district of not less than two miles and
in every previous year since the Nordi-
nance has been in force, petitions have
been filed early in the summer.
The ordinance requires that at it's
first meeting in November the city
council shall fix the conduit district
and within year all poles and wires
in that district must be placed under
ground.
While the ordinance does not con-
template any special favors to the
public utility companies that maintain
the poles and wires, the council last
year agreed to postpone the fixing of
district until the present year. The
utility companies pleaded the times
were hard and they did not want to
expend a large amount of money in the
construction Of costly conduits They
were let off last year, but the council
declared it would make up for it's leni-
ency by fixing a district OF four miles
this year. AS the cry of hard times
can no longer be raised 1t is probable
the council may insist on a district of
six miles in which wires will have to
go under ground.
1t is not necessary that the district
be all in one place, as it can be scat
tered over every part of the city If it
is deemed necessary. But the council
needs petitions on which to base the
district as 1t does not know where the
poles and wires are most Objectionable.

DEARTH OF CRUSHED ROCK
ALARMS ENGINEER HAMLI IN
City Official Fears Lack of Material
VIII Delay Seriously Street
Improvement Work

City Engineer Homer Hamlin believes
the question of securing enough crushed
rock and sand to keeppace with street
improvements will become a most seri-
GUS one in a short time. A dearth of
crushed rock is already felt and is
causing delay on a number of street
improvements. Quarries are working
night and day, but they are unable to
supply the demand.
This statement of the engineer was
brought out by a complaint made to
the board of public works against the
delay in the matter of paving West
Sixth, and Orange streets. Property
owners on these throughfares declared
the contractor was not pushing the
work with all due diligence. Mr.. Ham
lin reported to the board the chief
trouble was due to the inability of the
contractors to secure enough crushed
rock, but he added he believed the work
would be completed in the contract
time.

MANS ARREST Is CLIMAX OF
TROUBLE
Youthful Husband Is Charged with
Abandoning His Wife, but
He Says Complaint
Is Ruse

Willis e. Gaines, 20 years old, a ce-
ment contractor, is in peck of trouble
with his1 mother-in law, Mrs. Amanda
Keller, who has had Gaines arrested
because, he says, she thinks he knows
the whereabouts of his wife.
Gaines married Mary l.. Keller, 16,
May "a The couple celebrated the
GLORIOUS fourth" with G glorious quar-
rel and Mrs. Gaines left her home.
That night Gaines found her at pub
lie dance. She laughed at him when
he upbraided her, but when he told
her she would find the doors locked if
she returned home, her demeanor
changed and she begged to be taken
back. Gaines says he relented, but
uuarreling was resumed within a few
short hours, and the wife again de-
parted.
II have not seen her since that
time" is the statement made by
Gaines.
His assertion is disputed by his
mother-in-l who caused Gaines ar
rest yesterday on a charge of aban-
donlng his wife. The real purpose,
says Gaines, is to discover his wife's
whereabouts, Mrs. Keller believing he
is hiding his wife against her will.
Gaines is represented by Attorney
w. A. Gaines, his cousin. He was
released on a bond of $1,000 to appear
later for preliminary examination be-
fore Justice Pierce.

JUSTICE DISMISSES CASE
AGAINST LIQUOR SELLER
Man Charged with Dispensing Liquor
on Sunday and Without a
License Is Freed

Because of a f. atty complaint in the
case of Henry Matson, proprietor of a
saloon and cafe at Ceres and Central
avenues, charged with violating the liq-
uor ordinance, the case was dismissed
by Police Justice Rose yesterday and
the defendant discharged.
The complaint charged Matson with
selling liquor without license. At the
trial, before a jury, yesterday, it de-
veloped that Matson not only mad one
license, but two-one for conducting
a retail liquor dealers establishment
and another for serving liquor to his
guests in the restaurant.
When this fact became known JUS
tice Rose dismissed the case and mild
ly censured the representative of the
city prosecutors office for bringing to
trial such a case.
Although Matson is alleged to have
sold the liquor on a Sunday, the fact
that he was once placed in jeopardy
precluded the possibility of his being
brought to trial for the same offense
and he was discharged

Thoroughfares for Benefit of

Abandonment of alleys for the bene-

as easy a trick to turn as it was d
year or so ago. The board of public
works has adopted policy that makes
it difficult for a property owner to have
an alley abandoned unless there is
good reason for it, President Hubbard
of the board said yesterday that two
property owners protesting against
such abandonment was enough to con-
vince him that the alley should re-
main as it is.
This was the case in the petition of
Leon Labonde, who asked the board
to abandon the alley north of Thirty
