PADLOCKS REMAIN ON
DOORS OF CITY HALL
TAX COLLECTOR AND CLERK
LOCKED OUT
Orders Issued Saturday by Los An
eeles Board Of Public Works
Are Still In Force at
San Pedro
Especial to The Herald.1

SAN PEDRO, Aug. S1.-No change
has developed in the situation at the
city hall. The padlocks are still on
the doors of the offices of the city
clerk and the tax collector and no one
has yet been allowed to enter these
offices.
The orders of Saturday issued by
the board of public works are still in
force. The action of yesterday taken
by the custodian and the city attor-
ney's office has stood during the day,
although Doctor Phipps and his as
sistant expected to gain access to the
books this afternoon. Deputy City
Attorney Edward Young and Deputy
Clerk LOWE were here this morning
and in the afternoon Deputy Attor-
ney John Schenk and Deputy Clerk
Wilde came, after taking all the rec
ords from the city hall of Wilmington
to Los Angeles. Mr.. Wilde was anXi-
Gus to get the assessment roll, as he
says a new roll will have to be made
to provide for the two installments
of the tax.
No action toward taking away the
books will probably be made, however,
until the return of Leslie R. Hewitt,
city attorney, who is now in Sacra-
mento. He is expected Thursday.
Senator William H. Savage is said to
be the attorney for former City Tax
Collector Ben NJ. Baker. Mr.. Savage
has been around the city hall the
major portion of the day, but no
I; tion of any kind was taken.

CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR
WANTS SALARY INCREASE
Presents Ordinance Raising Pay from
5000 to $3.50 Month, but
Action Is Deferred

j. j. Backus, chief inspector of
buildings, presented an ordinance to
the city council yesterday fixing the
salaries in his department. The only
change in the ordinance is that the
salary of Mr.. Backus is increased from
$500 to $3.50 a month. AS several sal
airy ordinances had been laid over un-
til Councilmen Blanchard and Drom-
gold return from their leaves of alb
sence, the ordinance presented by Mr..
Backus was also laid over.
The chief building inspector told the
council that the increase in his salary
had been practically agreed on by the
budget committee, but for some reason
II was overlooked. He said that he
should have had the increase without
asking for it and that he had lost
money while in the city's employ be-
cause he could have accepted better
paying positions with private corpor-
ationS. ,,
The board of public works, which
has supervision over Mr.. Backus' de-
partment, considers the chief lnspec--
FOR an able and competent man and
believes his salary should be Increased.

BREACH IN HEALTH
BOARD THREATENED
CHAMBERS AND GIBBONS ARE
INIMICAL
Trouble Between Two Physicians De.
veIops from Proposition to Put
Nurses Under Jurisdiction
of Department

Storm clouds are gathering on the
erstwhile bright horizon of the health
board and it appears that DIR. Sherwin
Gibbons and DR.. w. ]. Chambers will
have some things to say to each other
before many more sessions have
passed. No open breach has occurred,
but 1t is noted at the meetings of the
board DR.. Gibbons sits on one side of
the table and DR.. Chambers on the
other. If these two ever do take it
into their heads to start anything 1t
will be interesting, to say the least,
for DIR. Gibbons is about the size and
build of Jim Jeffries and Dr. Cham
bers is an old-time Indian fighter with
plenty of spirit still left in him.
The trouble, if any trouble can be
said to exist botween the two genial
physicians, started over the district
nurse proposition. DR.. Gibbons want
ed the district nurses put under the
jurisdiction of the health department
and DR.. Chambers was in sympathy
with the Los Angeles Settlement asso-
citation that wanted a commission to
direct the work of the nurses. Dr.
Chambers rallied two other members
of the board of health to his way of
thinking, and as a result the city at
torney was instructed to prepare an
ordinance putting the district nurses
under a commission.
To Amend Ordinance
This ordinance came before the board
of health last night and again DR.. Glib
bons objected. The way DIR. Chambers
and DIR. Gibbons exchanged glances
over the matter gave spectators the
impression that the interesting event
was about to happen. But when the
board of health listened a minute 1t
found DR. Gibbons had a logical OBJ
lection. The ordinance was framed so
as to provide that all nurses should
come under the jurisdiction of the
nursing commission. All members of
the board agreed this was too drastic
and DR.. Clark was appointed a COM
mittee of one to take the matter up
with the city attorney and secure an
amendment.
A second time last night the open
breach seemed imminent. The board
was discussing milk matters, and 1t
was suggested it would be a good plan
to confer with Superintendent McMil-
Ian of the Pacific Electric and take up
the question of transporting milk in
refrigerator cars. The mayor appoint
ed a committee composed of Health
Officer Powers and Drs. Chambers and
Gibbons. AS soon as his name was an
nounced DR.. Chambers fatty refused
to serve on the committee. He did not
say he refused to serve because DIR.
Gibbons was a member of the commit
tee, but he did not give any other rea-
son for his refusal When DR.. Cham
bers refused to have anything to do
with the milk committee the mayor
appointed Dr. Clark in his place.
