WILL CHECK PETITION FOR
TELEPHONE RATE ELECTION
Deputies of City Clerk to Look Up
Names of Persons Demanding
Referendum

The city clerk will set deputies to
work this morning checking up the
referendum petition on the telephone
ordinance. He estimates the work viii
be completed in less than a week.
There are about 5000 names on the
petition, but 1t is only necessary to find
22O0 signatures of bona fide voters.
The petition asks that the ordinance
recently passed by the city council in
creasing the rates for the Home Tele-
phone company be submitted to a vote
of the people. The council can order
this done at a special election or hold
it for submission at the next general
election. The referendum petition on
the dance halls has been held for the
municipal election in December
The city clerk is anxious that when
petitions are started in the future the
circulators of the petitions apply at his
office for a proper form. The form ne
prefers has separate blocks for names,
addresses and precinct numbers, and is
in such shape that the checking can
be done much easier and more cheaply
than on the petitions that have been
submitted in the past.

CITY HALL NOTES

Sixteen bakers, cited to appear before
the board of health last night and
show cause why their permits should
not be revoked for failing to comply
with the rule that requires permits to
be taken within ten days after being
granted, failed to appear. Their cases
were postponed until the next regular
meeting and the bakery inspector in
structed to call on them in person.
Property owners presented a protest
to the board of health last night com
planning against the Goodhue Bakery
company, which they declared was a
nuisance and deteriorated the value of
their property. The bakery inspector
reported this bakery observed every
sanitary regulation. The board will in
vestigate the matter.
A resolution passed by the board of
health last night gives inspectors the
privilege of wearing khaki uniforms
when working outside the city limits.
This applies especially to milk inspec-
tors.

BABY BUGGY PUSHER
WANTS STREETS ON
LEVEL WITH CURBS

One Los Angeles citizen who says he
has the pleasurable duty of pushing a
baby carriage has taken advantage of
the mayors new complaint department.
He complains that the curbs are too
high for baby carriage Dushers. He
He would have the curbs at all street
intersections on a level with the pave
ment, or rather have the pavements
level with the curbs. This is done in
some parts of the city. The pavements
are raised at street intersections and
culverts permit the water to pass un-
der.
This complaint was referred to the
board of public works and was imme-
diately solved by General Chairee when
brought before that body yesterday.

BELIEVE FIRE COMMISSION
WANTS SOLID GOLD BADGES
Stamp Company offers to Furnish
Insignias at Rate of Only
$40 Each

The supply committee of the council
was shocked yesterday to receive a bid
from the Chipron Stamp company, de-
handing 5000 for making five badges
for the fire commission. The price set
was $40 each.
When the attention of the mayor was
called to this big price he investigated
and found the Chipron company was
bidding on badges of solid gold. The
bidder had been advised by a member
of the fire department that it was in
tended to make these badges of gold
and had demanded a price accordingly
But it was later learned that the only
gold wanted on the badges is small

fire commissioner. New bids were asked
and on the requisition is written mot
to exceed S. EACH"

CASE AGAINST PATR0EMAN
TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT
Witness Tells Of Transfer of Roller
by Broadhead for Over
Efficiency

The police commission last night took
under advisement the case of Patrol
man 6. j. Roller, who is accused of
neglect of duty. A number of wit
nesses examined by Attorney Jud Rush
who appeared for the defendant, gave
Roller a good reputation. e. ]. F'lem-
ing, former prosecuting attorney, de-
clared that he was one of the most eff
ficient officers he knew.
Fleming told of one instance. Roller
was Venire server and secured the
juries for police courts. Fleming asked
him to get a good class of men for the
jury to try the Bradner w. Lee VS.
Sam Schenck case, and Roller secured
such an excellent jury that he was re-
moved from the place he held as pro-
cess server and a less efficient man
given the place by Captain Broadhead.
Fleming declared he considered this
transfer to the credit of Roller.
The specific instance of neglect of
duty is that Roller transacted private
business while on duty.

TO REDUCE SIZE OF
AUTO REPAIR BILLS
MAYOR PLANS TO HAVE CITY
DO WORK
Alexander Intends That Municipal
Machines Be Fixed in Fire
Departments Shops by
Hired Expert

Mayor Alexander and City Auditor
Mushet, with the hearty concurrence of
the board of public works, are working
on a plan to save the city hundreds of
dollars every month in automobile re-
pair bills.
The mayor intended to send mes
sage to the council on the matter Tues
day, but the press of other business
drove it from his mind. He declared
yesterday that he would send such a
message to the council next Tuesday.
The city owns twelve autos and sew
eral motorcycles and the monthly re-
pair bills are appalling. 1t is not in
frequent that one auto will cost more
than 500 month for repairs and when
this amount is multiplied by twelve 1t
makes an appreciable drain on the city
treasury The mayor received a propo-
sition several days ago which would
mean a considerable saving. The pro-
posal was to pay man 500 a month
to repair all the city's autos, the city
to furnish helper and the materials.
But the mayor believes the work can
be done even cheaper than this. The
fire department has an excellent shop
for the repair of the fire department
apparatus, and the mayor believes that
this shop could be utilized as an auto
repair shop, with an expert automobile
man in charge. This plan would re-
duoe the cost of repairs, the wages of
the expert and the cost of materials,
entirely eliminating the profit of the
repair men.
One feature the mayor has noted in
the monthly repair bills is that the
heads of departments have their ma
chimes repaired wherever they please,
and the favoritism shown some of the
auto men is apparent.
Mayor Alexander, as a member of
the board of supervisors, was the one
who stirred up the county officials on
the excessive repair bills the county
was paying for its autos and brought
about great economy in this item of ex-

To open ENC Beach Avenue

The board of public works yesterday
began proceedings, on recommendation
of City Engineer Hamlin, to open Long
Beach avenue from Twenty-second
street to Thirty-ninth. The plan con-
templates a forty-foot roadbed on
either side of the Pacific Electric right
of-way, and to make this improvement
land will have to be condemned nearly
the entire length of the street. The
condemnation proceedings will make
the Improvement a costly one, but the
property owners on the street are
anxious that it be done.

MUST PAY S25 FOR STRIP
IN CENTER OF ORANGE ST.
One Foot of Land Extends Block Be-
tween Cypress and Highland

In order to acquire title to one
foot strip of land extending down the
center of Orange street, between Cy-
press and Highland View avenues, the
board of public works yesterday asked
the council to appropriate $25 from the
general expense fund.
When this street was laid out and
offered to the city, the original owner

months an effort has been made to get
title to this strip. But the title is vest
ed in the heirs of the original owner.
who are numerous and scattered all
over the world. The agent for these
heirs has told the board that he can
secure the necessary deed but that
the time spent in correspondence will
be worth $25 to him.
This controversy called the attention
of the board to the fact that there are
two Orange streets in Los Angeles.
The one in question is ON the east side
and the other is in the Westlake dis
trict.

5. D. NOTARlEs ORGANIZE i
Some UnruIy Ones Object to. Rulings
Of Department But FINAL Decide
to Come into the Fold - Seventy
four Signed the Roll at the First
Meeting. So

Aberdeen, Sept. 8.-The notaries of
Brown county succeeded in forming
an association according to the rules
and regulations laid down by Judge
J. W. Witten, superintendent Of the
registration of next month. There
were signs of rebellion among quite
a number of the notaries but these
were subdued in two ways. First IT
was announced that those who did
not sign the roll for the formation
of the association could not expect
designation by Judge Witten and
therefore would be unable to transact
business as notaries in connection
with the filing next month.
That was distinct jolt in itself
but there was not a few who pro-
posed defying the federal authorities
on the ground that when a state has
appointed a notary, he has all Of the
powers of any other notary regard
less of rulings by the interior depart
ment. But this feeling was quieted
when motion was made by Senator
+. o. Curtiss that it be the sense of
the meeting that the president of the
association be entitled to no more.
compensation than the other notar-
les. In view Of the prospect that the
president, as boss Of the job, would
draw a fat fee for his part in it, most
of the notaries had been objecting to
such a divide. Senator Curtiss' mo
ton met with instant approval and
while it was not in order at the time
it later bore fruit but in its adoption
in another form and in the election
of its author to the presidency.
The meeting was held at the Com
mercial club and seventy-four notar,
les signed the roll Of membership;
