ANNEXATION ELECTION
MAY CAUSE CONTEST
RESIDENTS OF STRIP PROTEST
AGAINST RESULT
AIIeued That Formaltles Were Not
Observed Strictly at Polling
Place for Arrowhead
Precinct
fspeolal to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. lids
satisfied over the results of the recent
election, whereby a strip of land lying
to the north of the city was annexed,
a number of property owners in that
section, who opposed the move from
the first, are now investigating the
possibilities of a contest and have
gone as far as to take the mater be-
fore District Attorney w. E. Bryne.
The grounds of the contest, if one
develops, will be over the fact that due
to some oversight the precinct regis
ter for Arrowhead precinct was not at
the polls until the report of the con-
dition reached City Attorney Swing,
who hastened with the book of affi-
davits to the voting place, but it was
then 3 o'clock and some of those who
desired to oppose the move were un-
able to vote
The question is now raised If the
fact that these voters did not have the
opportunity to express their sentiment
in the matter would not be sufficient
to invalidate the election. From the
fact that there are only thirty-four
voters in the precinct, all of whom
voting no would not have changed the
result, owing to the heavy polling of
the supporters of the move in other
precincts, IL is not thought that the
objectors have sufficient ground to in
augurate a contest.

TO COST MILLION DOLLARS
TO BUY WATER COMPANIES

PASADENA, Sept. 14.-Through the
action of the directors of the three
large water companies in conference
with Mayor Farley and the water COM
mittee of the council tonight, it Is prac-
tically certain that these three COM
panies will again agree to sell to the
city at the price agreed on four years
ago This means a bond election to
vote on an issue of more than S1,0OOOOO
for buying the water plants.
For the three companies the original
agreement was $685. 900. Mayor Farley
worked for a year and half after his
first election to induce the water COM
panies to let this price stand at the
time Of the bond election last fall when
municipal water was temporarily de-
feated. Tonight was the first real con-
ference since the water committee was
reappointed week ago, and the same
result seems already accomplished.
Six of the directors Of the Lake Vine
yard company. by far the largest Of the
three. were present and agreed to sub
init the same old price to their stock
holders, plus the price for improve
ments. Recent improvements in this
company will total about $4,000.
Three of the west side directors, In
cluding President McQuilling, took the
same action, but only President Eason
of the North Pasadena company was
present. He was favorably inclined,
and 1t is known that Major Toolen, who
was prevented from attending by a
sprained ankle, is also agreeable. 1t is
believed that NJ. D. Painter and Byron
Liske when they can be reached, will
also vote to follow this course.
Although the original price was $780,
900, the improvements will make the
total issue just about S1.000,000 should
it be successful at the polls.

Fertilizer Must Move

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 14,-For
ten years the city has countenanced
the existence and operation of fer
tilizing plant within the city limits,
not only to the detriment of the health
of the people residing in that vicinity
but also to real estate values as well,
and although occasional protests have
been filed, it was not until last night
that it was ordered removed by the
city council, the majority of the men,
bers of which are those recently in
stalled in office and to whom no OBJ
lection had previously been raised.
The health commission also declared
it a nuisance and to make it doubly
sure that it will be placed beyond the
limits of the city, an ordinance was
ordered drawn prohibiting the opera
tion of fertilizer plants within the city.

PILLAR LIGHTS MAY BE
INSTALLED ON STREETS

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. a.
Former Mayor j. J. Hanford Is at the
head of a movement to ornament the
streets of this city with pillar lights.
similar to those on the principal streets
of Los Angeles, and has appealed to
the city council to support the move.
Already the plan has met with such
favor that 1t is more than probable
Fourth street between D and E will
be equipped with this style of lights,
the property owners being agreeable
to put in the pillars with the under
standing that the city will maintain
them.
Although no action has been taken,
the city officials look with favor on
the project in order to assist In boost
ing the plan, but will not maintain
more than one block unassisted, 1t
being the scheme for the city to pay
half and the merchants on the busi-
ness streets effected the belance, in
the event that additional thorough
fares are ornamented in this manner.

FROWNS ON EFFORT TO BUY
ARTIFICIAL LIMB FOR GIRL
Associated Charities DlsapproVes OF
Non-Residents Seeking Financial
Aid In Pasadena

PASADENA, Sept. 14-Efforts of
non-residents to tap the charitable re-
sources Of Pasadena were frOwned on
in statement today by the Associated
Charities which takes up the case Of
a 12-year-old Monrovia girl, for whom
DIR. L. H. M. De Biron has been seeking
funds to purchase an artificial limb
According to the Associated Chari-
ties, the child has $1,000 in her own
name with the Anderson Trust COM
pany of Los Angeles, which she was
given as compensation for the loss Of
her limb in a railroad accident. This
case is said to be one of four recent
ones in which outsiders have come to
Pasadena for funds, and the Asso-
ciated Charities states the field is all
too limited for its own needs. The
organization also questions whether It
would be wise to buy an artificial limb
for growing girl, and states that the
case does not meet with the qualifca-
tions necessary to warrant gifts Of
money.

COUNCIL FAILS TO ACT ON
SERVICE COMMENDATIoN

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 14.-Al-
though the committee composed of
Mayor McNabb, City Attorney Swing
and Street Superintendent Lothrop
last night filed the report of their in
vestigations of the alleged violation
of the state hour service act charged
by the Carpenters union Of this city,
and recommended that the street su-
perintendent be instructed to enforce
the provisions of the law even in face
of the doubt as to whether 1t applied
on street work where the city was
paying half and the property owners
the balance, the council took no action.
A recant supreme court decision finds
that the act does not apply to Vroo-
man act work, but inasmuch as the city
pays a portion of the present street
improvement. which is done under that
method, it Is thought that the con-
tractors can be forced to work their
men but eight hours.

How Old Is McIntyre7

PASADENA, Sept. 14.-While turning
over in his mind the fact that the
birthdays of his three children all oc-
cur in the months of May and June
Deputy City Treasurer NJ. S. Mcintyre
recently discovered he is the father of
a family which is q walking arithmet-
ical puzzle.
His daughter, Beth, is just twice as
old as his baby boy, Wendell, and his
older daughter, Beatrice, is twice as
old as her sister, Beth. Mr. Mcintyre
himself is twice as old as the com bined
ages of his three children, and his
mother Mrs. Mary c. Mcintyre, If she
were now living. would be as old as
the combined ages of her son and his
three children. incidentally, she would
be just three times as old as the COM
bined ages of the children.
The correct solution of this problem
Will give the age of Pasadena's pop
ular deputy city treasurer.
