CITY FORESTER
TO BE REMOVED
PARK DEPARTMENT TO LOOK
AFTER TREES
Recommendation to Be Made to coun-
Gil for AboIishing Bureau Over
Which Brother of Former
Mayor Harper Presides

1t is probable the park commission
will recommend to the council the posi-
ton of city forester be abolished and
the department of forestry put under
the control of the park department
with the park superintendent as for
ester.
The matter was discussed by the
commission yesterday but no definite
action was taken as the commission
wanted to give Superintendent Morley
of the park department an opportun-
ity to determine what extra assistance
will be necessary when the added
duties are assumed. The commission
expects to act next week.
Judge Silent called the attention of
the commission to the matter. He de-
clared a city forestry is unnecessary
as a department by itself and that the
work could be much better handled
by the park department. He said a
man at $50 a month probably could
do all the work required.
The position of city forester is held
by Rev. p. ]. Harper, brother of for
mer Mayor Harper. 1t was created
during Harpers term as mayor by the
preceding council, but several times
after creating the position individual
members of the council made efforts
to have it abolished. Councilman
Wren was most active in this direc-
ton He considered the position of
no material good to the city and be-
lieved the $3.50 a month paid the for
ester could be used to advantage else
where.

PURITAS
Is the Reliably Pure Drink
ing Water

Intelligent people who are careful
what they take into the system want
drinking water that is pure water,
and nothing else. They know that
mineral waters are unhealthful.
They look upon Spring waters with
distrust. Investigation has shown
them that carefully produced distilled
water is the only absolutely PURE
water, and that PURITAS Distilled
Water is the only reliable distilled
water obtainable hereabouts.
Puritas is twice distilled. It's purity
is thus assured. 1t is aerated with
pure ozone-which accounts for its
sparkle, for the absence of the fiat
ness" noticeable in ordinary distilled
waters. 1t is bottled so carefully that
it reaches you pure-experience has
taught us that too much care cannot
be given to insure the absolute clean
illness of the containers, into which
the pure distilled water is put.
With all our care to insure per-
feet product, our price for Puritas is
so low that everybody can afford to
drink pure waters gallons cost but
Acc. Just telephone us. Home 1005S

GAFFEY SUBMITS HIS
PROPOSITION TO CITY
San Pedro Man, Under Certain Con-
dtons, Will Give Thirty Acres
to Los Angeles

John T. Gaffey of San Pedro yester-
day submitted to the park commission
in writing his proposal to give the city
a park at San Pedro. His written pro-
posal asks that $2500 year be expend-
ed on the improvement of the park for
the next ten years. Mr.. Gaffey first
asked that $4,000 a year be expended on
the land.
The park Mr.. Gaffey offers to donate
contains more than thirty acres, and
the park commission believes that $2500
a year is a modest sum. This scarcely
will pay the expenses for two laborers
and one team q year.
Judge Silent was appointed a COM
mittee to take the matter up with the
city council and try to secure the $2500
for the present fiscal year. The first
Improvement contemplated is the
building of a roadway through the
park.
