MISTAKE OF OLD COUNCIL
MAY BE CORRECTED BY NEW
City Engineer Recommends Contract
for Paving in Winston Street
Include Storm Sewer

What City Engineer Hamlin says he
regards as a mistake of the old coun-
ell will be corrected by the new coun-
Gil if that body adopts the recommen-
dation the city engineer will submit
to it today. The engineer wants to
construct a storm sewer from Winston
to Fourth street on Los Angeles be-
fore Los Angeles street is paved.
Several months ago preliminaries
were begun for the paving of Los An
geles street from Fourth to Fifth
streets and for the construction of
storm sewer from Winston to Third
streets under the same contract. The
property owners were anxious Tor the
sewer and willing to pay for it, but
under its policy of constructing no
storm sewers at the cost of an assess
ment district the council ordered the
proceedings abandoned for the entire
work and new proceedings were in
stituted for paving without a sewer.
In arranging for new proceedings the
engineer found the two old steel Gull
yerts at Fourth street inadequate for
the drainage required of them and
that it would cost more to rebuilt the
culverts than it would to build a
proper storm sewer, which would pro-
vide for the needs of the district for
all time to come. He asks he be al
lowed to include storm sewer from
Winston to Fourth street in the new
proceedings He estimates the cost
will be $1,000.

ONE POLICE SURGEON
WILL BE APPOINTED
Attorney viii Submit Ordinance on
Instructions of Council Which
Provides for Single City
Medical Director

rrba citv attorney will submit an
ordinance to the council for adoptloll
TODAY. providing for the appointment
of one police surgeon and three as
sis+ont surgeons. This ordinance was
Trenared on instructions from the
council. ,, oeeoo-
When this ordinance becomes eIlec-
tive, which will be thirty days atter lts
publication, it will change the System
in the receiving hospital.
TT probably also will cause change
in police surgeons, for neither DR.. 5. j.
Ouint nor DR.. e. II. Garrett expect re-
appointment. Both of these physicians
have held the position of police sur
geon and each was allowed to appoint
one assistant each, but the new council
believes greater efficiency will result
from having but one police surgeon
with three assistants and making the
one responsible for the acts of all.
The council has the prerogatiVe of
appointing the police surgeon and his
assistants This is one of the few Of
fees for which the council selects the
incumbent. Most of the appointments
to office are made by the mayor sub
ject to the confirmation of the council.
The salary for the police surgeon will
be $3.50 a month, and each of the three
assistants will receive 500 a month.
The pay is not large, but physicians be-
ginning to practice are eager to obtain
the appointments in order to benefit by
the experience. Patients are taken to
the city receiving hospital, where they
are operated on by the police sur
geons for affections seldom met. with
in private practice, and in many in
stances experiments are tried and prove
successful which a physician in private
practice seldom would dare to attempt.

NO CAR FARE MONEY
FOR COUNTY OFFICERS,
IS SHAW'S OPINION
Deputy District Attorney Rules That
EXPENSE Account Cannot Be
Paid Legally by the
County

In an opinion rendered to the poaru
of supervisors yesterday Hartley shaW'
chief deputy district attorney and Ie-
gal adviser for the board, holds that
county office holders are not entitled 10
carfare in riding to and from their
work. Accompanying the opinion was
a refusal by Mr.. Shaw to approve the
demand of Erwin Dingle, chief deputy
in the horticultural commissioner Oh
flee, who wanted the county to pay
him 10 cents a day for the past tWen-
ty-six days, and another demand from
S. Strong of Norwalk, also deputy.
who demanded about 81 on account OF
occasional trips to the office in thls
city.
County officers" says Mr.. shaw
usually maintain their offices at the
county seat, and, wherever they may
reside, I think they must themselves
bear the expense of reaching their Oh
fees for the transaction of business.
There are number of county Of
ficers who have allowances for travel
ing expenses, but none of them, so far
as my attention has been directed to
the matter, has ever attempted TO
charge for the expenses Of themselves
or deputies in travelling from their res
idences to their offices, even though
they might reside outside of the city

MOVING PICTURES SHOW
NEW ASPHALT METHOD
CITY Officials and Employees to View
Operation of Machine for Which
Much Is Claimed

Through the enterprise of B. B. Col
borne, salesman for the Equitable AS
phalt Maintenance company of Kan
sas City, the board of public works
and the city engineer and his entire
staff will have moving picture snow
all to themselves Wednesday morning
at 9 o'clock. The show will be given
at the Royal theater, just south OF the
city hall.
Mr.. Colborne has machine that ne
claims will resurface asphalt streets at
half the cost of the ordinary process
and he is in the business of inducing
municipalities to use his machines. He
does not sell them, but leases them to
a city and the city pays his company
a portion of the amount saved IN the
work over the ordinary process.
These machines weigh about five
tons, and Mr.. Colborne cannot carry
one around in a sample case. so he
shows moving pictures of his machine
in operation.
AS many taxpayers as can get into
the theater after the officials are seat
ed are invited to attend the show free.

ASKS THAT WIFE
PAY ALLOWANCE
HERMAN BRUNER SEEKS $100
A MONTH
st. Louis Lottery King Comes Into
Court In Divorce Suit and Says
He Turned Over All
Property

Herman Bruner, who acquired i'm
mense wealth in st. Louis, where he
was known as the lottery king" was
in the divorce court yesterday with a
request for. a court order compelling
his wife, Louise Bruner, to make him
an allowance of $100 a month. Mrs.
Bruner is contesting this claim, as
serting that her husband has an Income
of $4,000 monthly, of which she demands
one-half for the maintenance of her
self and four children.
The Bruners were married in St.
Louis March G. 1881, and came to Cali
fornia four years ago, establishing a
residence at Alhambra. separation
occurrerd shortly after their arrival,
and Bruner, who is 63 years old, went
to live with his daughter, Mrs. L. D.
White of Los Angeles, leaving his
wife and four children in the Alhambra
home. Mrs. Bruner filed her suit for
separate maintenance several weeks
ago, alleging that the separation was
due to her husbands cruelty, and de-
manding $1,000 Of the $4,000 monthly in
come she says he receives.
Bruner denies the charges of cruelty,
claiming his wife drove him from home
after securing virtually all his worldly
possessions. Money in large amounts,
S1S,500 for the purchase of Hollywood
property $4,000 to buy real estate at
Alhambra, and other sums bring the
total up to $S5,000, he says, was given
to his wife with the understanding
that the property obtained by the pur-
chases should be held by her in trust
for his benefit. The property, he says,
has increased in value to $175,OO0. but,
he adds, the deeds are all in his wife's
name.
The hearing yesterday was in regard
to the wife's refusal to reply to certain
questions contained in deposition,
and when this matter was disposed of
the trial of the maintenance suit was
continued until January "a.

COUNTY CLERK KEYES
FAVORS CONSOLIDATION

In advocating the consolidation of
Hollywood and Los Angeles, Charles G.
Keyes, county clerk, said yesterday;
'T am heartily In favor of the apnexa-
tion of Hollywood, for the charming
foothill city L have always regarded as
one of the most attractive and well
conducted municipalities in the county.
The merging of Hollywood with the
greater city cannot fail to be of mutual
advantage. There is no opposition to the
proposition as far as 1 know In Holly
wood, and there is certainly none in Los
Angeles. The sooner we get all OF the
towns in the county in our fold and
have both city and county government In
one territory the better it will be for all
residents financially and every other
way. Annexation of all the towns is
the proper thing"

Health Sustaining
Puritas Distilled Water

Here's one health precaution, at
least that comes easy, and is pleas
ant as well as hygienic! You have to
drink water, anyway. Then drink the
purest you know anything about. Pur-
itas is the only twice distilled water
hereabouts. That's why it's purest.
And why it's pleasantest, too, is the
delightful zest of it-that comes from
being aerated with pure ozone.
No other thing so cheap, and no
other-even far more costly-can do
more toward sustaining your health
