SOUTHSlDERS TO
GET S CENT FARE
LOW RATE WILL EXTEND TO
MANCHESTER AVENUE
RESIDENTS MUST BUY BOOK OF
TWENTY TICKETS
New Schedule on Redondo Line to
Head of shoestring Strip viii
Become Effective
May is

The fight for scent car fares whlch
the residents of the recently annexed
territory at the head of the shoestring
strip have been waging for more than
a year was won yesterday when w. E.
Dunn, representing the Huntington in
terests, told the council that the o
cent fare as far south as Manchester
avenue would be given in a new sched-
ule operative May 10.
To secure this scent fare those who
use the Los Angeles-R edondo line for
transportation must purchase 2o-rlde
ticket, which will be sold for 81.
]. B. Cook, president of the Manehes-
ter Heights Improvement association,
demurred a little to this concession. He
declared the residents and property
owners of the district he represented
wanted straight scent fare. The
territory in which they live is as much
a part of the city as the Westlake dis
trict or Highland Park, he said, and
he believed his people should not be
compelled to spend a dollar to get the
benefit of scent fares. But he added,
they would feel grateful for this con-
cession, as 1t represented a difference
of several thousand dollars every year.
Those who are not regular patrons of
the line will still have to pay a 10-cent
fare each way to Manchester avenue
and return.
When the shoestring strip was an
nexed to Los Angeles the portion of the
Los Angeles edondo line as far south
as Manchester avenue was included.
At Manchester avenue the strip was
turned a little to one side so that no
more of this line would be included.
BY reason of the fact that this por-
ton of the line was in the city limits
the contention was made that scent
fares should be granted. The railway
company objected to this on the ground
that If the city had the right to force
scent fares in this district it had the
right to demand that passengers should
be carried to San Pedro for cents
in the event the limits of the city were
extended to include all the railway
line.
The question of franchise is involved,
but the city attorney yesterday told
the council that it had forfeited none
of the city's rights in the franchise
matter through the concession granted
by the railway in the matter of fares.
The Los Angeles Redondo line runs
to Second and Spring streets, but it
has no franchise north of Jefferson
street. The council has authorized the
city attorney to begin action against
the railway to compel it to secure a
franchise. Mr. Dunn yesterday told
the council that if it was necessary to
secure a franchise to Second and
Spring streets the Redondo cars would
be stopped at Jefferson street and pas
sengers transferred to the Los Angeles
railway line.

Municipal Affairs
MAY COMPROMISE ON
HEALTH BOARDS PLAN
COUNCIL HESITATES TO CUT
DOWN NUMBER OF PLACES
Probable That Classified Positions
viii Be Abolished and Number OF
Sanitary Inspectors ln-
creased to Sixteen

The council and the board of health
may be able to reach compromise on
the matter Of abolishing classified posi-
lions in the health department. BY the
terms of the expected compromise the
board probably will not be able to save
the city the $4,000 1t had expected, but
all inspectors, with the exception of
meat and milk, will be made sanitary
inspectors, and the efficiency of the de-
partment increased.
But there are five members OF the
council who will not listen to any
proposition to reduce the number of
employees in the health department. In
the first place some of the incumbents
of the jobs it is proposed to abolish are
their political henchmen, and in the
second place the opposition considers 1t
is establishing a mighty bad precedent
to voluntarily reduce the number of
city jobs.
''Save the city money by cutting
down the number of jobs! Whoever
heard of such a thing!" they gasp.
And, in fact, it is most unusual thing
for a city department to declare there
are too many people drawing salaries
on it's pay roll. 1t is common enough
for heads of departments to ask the
council for more employees and more
money, but in the memory Of the oldest
attache of the city hall the health board
is the first department to ask that the
number of employees be reduced.
Favor Sixteen Inspectors
The health boards plan is to abolish
the positions of inspectors, as follows:
Restaurant and assistant restaurant,
garbage, lodging house, fruit and veg
etable and bakery, and the position of
secretary of the board of health. In
place of these positions the board asks
eleven sanitary inspectors and three as
sistants, instead of the ten sanitary in
spectors, as at present, and for the
position of secretary would have a
combined telephone operator and stem
ographer at a salary not to exceed SIS
a month. The boards idea is that a
sanitary inspector should be able to do
the work of any of these classifcations.
Under the present system it sometimes
occurs that a restaurant inspector,
bakery inspector, garbage inspector and
vegetable inspector visit the same es-
tablishment in a day. BY having all
sanitary inspectors one man could do
the work of all four of these persons.
The five members of the council who
oppose the reduction in the force and
the consequent saving to the city of
about $4,000 a year are Blanchard,
Healy, Lyon, Yonkin and Clampitt
But these councilmen have expressed
themselves ready to vote for the aboli-
ton of the classified inspectors and
make all the classified inspectors sani-
tary inspectors, provided those now
holding the classified positions will be
retained in sanitary inspectors posi-
lions. This will make sixteen inspectors
instead of the eleven inspectors and
their assistants recommended by the
board of health.
The council and the board of health
will meet in the council chamber Fri
day afternoon to discuss the matter.

Charles Swickard, who translated
Sudermanns "The Fires of st. john"
and who got into a row with Nance
O'Neill regarding that young woman's
rights to use the play without paying
him royalty for it, has constructed
another drama which he says is even
better than the Sudermann adaptation.
Mr.. Swickard, who is now member

earvanzans Allowed Claims

Acting on the recommendation of the
board of public works, the council yes
terday allowed three small claims to
property owners in Garvanza. The
claimants and the amounts allowed
We're: G. e. Manor $50; Isaac Critics,
500, and John Harding. 800. Harding
and Critics presented claims for $4,000
each and Manor for $1,000.
These claims grew out of the grad
ing of Pasadena avenue. When the
grade for this street was established
the street was made higher than the
natural outlet of water. No culverts
were placed in the street, and as a
natural result storm water was inn
pounded and caused some damage to
property.

least one model public playground and a
swimming pool along the banks of the

outlines of the coming summers Work
we're considered, and a report was pre-
pared for the consideration Of the board
Of control on Monday night. While tn

pool, all to be put into operation before
the real warm weather of the summer

the association are being directed towards
securing members. The point of member
ship set by the board of control is, Tor
the immediate present, 80 life members,
paying 500 admittance fee; 500 sustain
ing members paying $40 per annum, and
2090 active members, paying 81 per an

have sufficient funds to demonstrate the
practical value of a proper playground
system for the children of the city.

canvass will be made for members Of the
association, and as the success Of the
movement for Fairgrounds depends upon
the citizens. hearty support is expected.
