NINTH WARD CITIZENS WANT
PLAYGROUND FOR CHILDREN
Six Hundred Residents Sign Petition
Which is Filed With
City Clerk

A petition signed by about 900 resi-
dents of the Ninth ward was filed with
the city clerk yesterday asking that
land be purchased south OF Brooklyn
avenue for a children's playground.
The petition does not say whether
or not the plan is to have land con-
demned under the new park law, which
provides for condemnation of land for
park purposes, the cost to be paid by
the property in the district benefited,
or whether it is the wish that the
council purchase the land out of the
general revenues of the city.
AS no assessment district is fixed,
the city clerk will assume that it is
the intention of the petitioners that
the land be purchased at public ex-
pense. Members of the playground
commission have looked over num-
Der of sites in the Ninth ward and
believe that a public playground in
that locality would be beneficial.

COUNCIL ORDERS ENGINEER
TO VIOLATE ITS OWN RULE
Passes Petition Providing for oiling
Natural Soil Roads in ST. An
drews and Manhattan Places.

Through it's ignorance of details con-
nected with the city engineers depart
ment and it's failure to make an in
vestigation, the council has ordered
the city engineer to violate rule II
passed several weeks ago. The city
engineer reported the matter TO the
board of public works and the hoard
ordered the proposed Improvement
held up.
A petition was presented to the coun-
Gil for the Improvement of st. Andrews
and Manhattan places under specifica-
lions 60. These specifications provide
for oiling on natural soil and the coun-
Gil recently adopted the city engineers
suggestion that no more natural soil
street improvements be permitted.
Experience has proven that after a
years use natural soil streets are torn
to pieces and Chief Inspector Hum
phreys declared yesterday that there
were many miles of such streets In
Los Angeles that are no good. Some
of them are accepted streets and under
the terms of the acceptance the city
Is expected to keep them in repair. To
put these streets in good shape would
cost $1,000 a mile.

TO ISSUE PAMPHLET ON
TREATMENT OF DISEASE
City Board of Health to Try to Teach
Citizens How to Avoid
Illness

The board of health at it's meeting
yesterday morning decided to issue a
number of pamphlets on diseases and
their treatment and cure in such a
form that they can be readily under
stood by the laymen.
DR.. Sherwin Gibbons and Dr. L. M.
Powers will be the editors of this pam
phlet. They will be put in the hands
of the visiting nurses and distributed
chiefly among the congested districts
where sanitary measures evidently
are not the first consideration of the
residents.
Several articles will be written Civ
ing advice to mothers on the care of
their children, especially infants. Ty-
phoid fever and how to avoid it will be
one of the articles.
