We had no thought, of course, of
humping up against the Georgian and
having to defend our old-fashioned
ideas. OF course, we cannot, because
of the very nature of things, enter into
a very elaborate discussion, but the
Georgian will not have to leave Atlanta
to find many objections to the practice.
One serious objection is that no modest
woman ought to do anything to attract
undue attention, and riding astride GER
tainly produces stares-even in Atlanta.
If the Georgian will excuse us for
saying so, riding astride is a novelty
anywhere Just a few weeks ago the
writer was in Atlanta and saw young
lady riding astride come down Peach
tree and ride out Pryor. Every man,
woman and child stopped as she passed
and looked at her almost until she van
ished from view
WHO is she?" the writer heard some
one say.
Il don't know; some actress, I sup
pose" was the reply.
But she proved to be an Atlanta lady,
high up in society, and in the language
of the streets, was aridin' some
1t may be old fashioned to object to
ladies riding astride If so, we plead
guilty to old-fashioned ideas, and we
hope it will be so uncommon in Dublin
as always to be a novelty.
We never desire to see any of our
home girls riding in that manner. We
prefer that they leave it to circus riders
and actresses, for as the poet says:
"A girl may ride in an automobile,
Or in a trolley car;
But when she rides a horse astride
That's going just bit too far

MUNICIPAL CEMETERY
IN DEPLORABLE SHAPE
BURIAL GROUNDS OVERGR0WN
WITH WEEDS
Interments Made in Wrong Graves
and Some Without Permits as
Result of Consolidation
Confusion

A report made by the city engineer
to the board of public works shows
that the municipal cemetery in San
Pedro is in deplorable condition.
This cemetery, which comprises about
three acres, was owned by the city
of san Pedro until consolidation, and
the title to the ground passed into the
hands of Los Angeles when the cities
merged. Soon after consolidation the
old sexton in charge of the cemetery
asked that a new survey be made. The
matter was referred to the city en-
gineer.
In his investigation the engineer
found that few of the old lot stakes
remain and the old sexton told MN
that he was convinced a number Oh
interments had been made in lots other
than the ones purchased for the pur-
nose. The engineer finds no fund was
ever created for the maintenance OF
the cemetery and now it is Impossible
to distinguish the driVeways from the
burial grounds. The grounds are
practically obliterated by a rank
growth of weeds and the engineer says
presents deplorable appearance: NO
oficial in San Pedro has been held re-
sponsible for the cemetery. The only
rasnonsihility of any kind was that
until consolidation permits for purlals
vere issued by the city clerk, but
since consolidation there has been no
one to even do this much, and three
interments have taken place without
permits. ,,aoroa
the oi+v engineer to resurvey the ceme-
terv and set the lot stakes. AS soon
as This is done an effort Will be mace
10 claan up the property ana put II
in presentable shape.

corners was not sufficient to be Of con-
sequence. 1 then went to the Hhem-
schild cellar and found good gravel at
the bottom of the runway, but the
loan was piled nigh on either side
There was little doubt in my mind but
that it was Mr.. RheinSchilds intention
to let the loan rattle down with the
gravel and be shoveled out together
as was the case when the material was
subsequently removed by Mr.. Rhein-
schild. I advised him that if Mr.. Laws
had put teams in there to work
would have censured him for doing so.
"Mr. Laws is absolutely in the right
in this matter. The gravel taken out
of the Rheinschild cellar has been
hauled to the corner of Ninth ana
Flower and looks pretty good, will look
better when rained on a time or two
When the loan and gravel are mixed
together you would not suspect what
had been done, but if you will view
the walls of the cellar on Eighth and
IJill YOU will find from 26 to 36 inches
of loan on top. This is not the first
complaint that has been made by
disaDpointed. disgruntled contractor,
because they cannot work Mr.. Laws
for some special privilege. They nave
and will try to make it as uncomtort- L
able for him as possible. And the con-
tractors are not the only ones entitled
TO censure on this score; there is a
growing tendency to criticise anyone IN
authority who does not grant every
request that is made.

CHAIN GANG GUARD
SALARY TO STAND
COUNCIL FAILS TO PASS THE
ORDINANCE OVER VETO
Blanchard Leads Fight for Proposed
Change, but Fails to Muster
Strength Enough in
Final Test

By exactly the same vote that passed
the imitation public utilities ordinance
yesterday and by exactly the same vote
that will probably prevent the council
from passing this measure over the
mayor's veto, the council failed to pass,
over the mayors veto yesterday, the
salary ordinance for the police depart
ment
Blanchard led the fight to pass the
ordinance over the mayors veto and
he actually said as much as ten or
eleven words in debate, which is the
top-notch record for Pop" Blanchard.
In reply to the mayors objections that
the chain gang guards, which were to
be raised by the ordinance, did not
have to work Saturday afternoons, he
said this order had been recinded more
than a year ago and that they did have
to work these half holidays. But, as
the ordinance was money measure,
it REQUIRED seven votes to pass it over
the mayors veto. Blanchard, Drom-
gold, Healy, Clampitt, Lyon and Yon-
kin voted for it and Wallace, Wren
and Pease against 1t. The mayor
message follows:
"I return herewith, without my ap-
proval, ordinance entitled An ordi-
narnce amending ordinance No. 146S
new series), entitled, An ordinance
providing for the number of subordi-
nate officers, regular and special po-
1icenen and detective officers In the
police department in the city Of Los
Angeles, and for certain employees in
said department, and fixing their sew
eraI salaries, - for the following rea-
sons:
I'm the main, the ordinance, I be-
lieve is a good one. 1t provides Tor
two increases of salary which should
be allowed, namely, those of the tele-
phone clerks and the patrolman who Is
designated as property clerk. Ihere
is in this ordinance, however, another
proposed salary raise, which l believe
TO be out of proportion to the service
rendered by those whose salary is
sought to be raised, namely, the raise
in the salaries of the chain gang
guards. from $S3 1-3 to $50 per month,
the original design being to place them
on the graduated scale, the same as pa
tromen.
''These guards do not work Saturday
afternoons, Sunday or legal holidays,
nor do they work when, by reason of
stormy weather, the streets are In such
condition that it is impossible to use
the chain gang thereon. Patrolmen are
compelled to work Sundays and holi-
davs having but fifteen days off each
year. ~
BASED upon the salaries paid to 9TH
er members of the department, $50 per
month to the chain gang guards is
equivalent to $130 per month for the
others. This is manifestly unfair.
understand, also, that this chain gang
work can be performed by private con-
tract for not more than $50 per month.
"The increase is strenuously opposed
bv the chief of police as being preJu-
dicial to good discipline in the depart
ment. For these reasons I have with
held nv approval of this ordinance. -

power, carrying, as 1t does, the
most important source of revenue
which the city can receive, shall
remain forever under municlpal
control. To provide for the in
stallation of electrical machinery,
distributing plants and other equip
ment necessary in order that Los
Angeles may have this revenue, 1t
is estimated by competent en-
gineers that $3,500,000 will be re-
quired as the present issue.
The work on the Los Angeles end
of the aaueduct is progressing very
rapidly. 1t is at this end that the
power plants will be erected, and
If they can be constructed While
the aqueduct itself is in process OF
construction. according to the es-
Inmates of the aqueduct engineers,
ii will mean a saving to the city or
something like SS5O'OO0. -,
While the election to vote these
bonds for harbor and power develop
ment should be called now, or
course, if the bonds are authorized
they should be issued only as the
money may be required, to the END
that the city need not be paying
interest on money that is lying ldie.
The Joint committee caretully
considered THESE lND iiAH1NNo+ - 49,
their aspects. and reached the con-
cIusion that the two bond issues
should be authorized at this
time and that both should
be submitted to the people at the
same election, and that I should
call the matter to the attention OF
your honorable body.
In conformity Herewith, do
hereby recommend to your honor
able body and strongly urge the
calling of a special election, to be
held in the latter part of December.

ARROYO SEC0 IS EATING
INTO PRIVATE PROPERTY
City Enginer Reports That Stream
Cuts Out Eight Feet Year-Wing
Dams Recommended

The city engineer yesterday report
ed to the board of public works that the
channel of the Arroyo Saco at Avenue
Forty-three is shifting to the west at
the rate of eight feet year and that,
within another year, it would be en-
reaching on private property.
He says this is due to the bridge at
Avenue Forty-three, which throws the
current toward the west bank of the
arroyo. This bridge was built by the
Montecita Park company and became
the property of the city when Avenue
Forty-three was dedicated. He says
that, in the event of the arroyo en-
reaching on private property, the city
can be held responsible for damagts
Further enroachment can be stopped
by the construction of wing dams and
grading a new channel. This will cost
about $500, according to the engineer s
estimate, and the board of public
works will ask the council to set aside
this amount.
