he shivered more than ever.

DOCTORS MURDER
WAS A MYSTERY
(By Associated PreSs.)

Augusta, Ca, Feb 5.-The murder
of DR.. Charles w. Hickman Thurs
day night continues a deep mystery.
There is not the slightest clue the
police considF worth anything,
though there is a strong sentiment
among the officials that the crime is
not what they denominate a negro
killing"
A close search into the murdered
mans affairs shows an utter absence
of any motive except robbery.
The second person known to have
reached the corpse is positive that DR..
Hickman's watch fob was hanging
out of his pocket and says he saw no
evidence of robbery. The family
statement is that the pockets had
Been .rifled. Numerous letters found
some distance from the corpse, are,
held by the police. The inquest will
be held this afternoon.

Editor News:

In passing the business lines of a
civic government, we are first in con
tact with crude or indirect methods
and passing oil we see the need of a
more direct system. A system
by which our expense can be
minimized, which is in keep
ing with all business ncerns of
today, that have to meet sharp compe-
tition. In the past there were some
things necessary, that are not now.
Only few years ago it was necessary
to have a custodian of our public
funds. Now there is no need for
city or county treasurer to take out
per cent Of all monies. | was almost
made to say, that pass through his
hands, but now it is only the per
cent that passes that way but have
a depository, where the money is just
as safe, and save this expense. Only
a few years ago there was a law in
this state prohibiting the dumping of
cottonseed into the creeks and rivers.

costs, but the time required to dc
it. Now in order to accomplish the
greatest amount of work in a given
time and at the minimum cost, you
must know what you want and how
to do it.
The advantages that would accrue
to the city under a commission form
of government are many, especially
in the matter of expense.
LIST. Three men who shall give
their entire time to the city's work,
thereby enabling them to give. their
undivided time to working out the
best and most economic plan for
handling the different departments of
our government. These men can be
heavily bonded for the safe and faith.
full performance of duty, each doing
the work of several men under the
present form.
End. One day in each month for
checking up all work, etc., done the
previous month by the the different
departments, allowing accounts and
hearing complaints or petitions from
the people. This gives every citizen
an opportunity to know how the work
is being done, and how the money is
being used, also one certain day to
transact any business coming before
the city authorities. l am pleased to
note just here that we would have an
easier way to locate responsibility
than now. When you call on the
head of some particular department,
there could be no lodging and send
ing you to the other fellow, or wait
ing for the committee to meet The
committee would be before you when
you call on this one.

Quoted that the owner could locate

The law providing for the removal
of commissioner who neglects his
duty seems simple and easy. A small

may have his department investigated
and after being weighed in the bal
ance, If und wanting, removal, and
another elected. Then should we be-
come dissatisfied we may elect to re-
turn to the old way.
Whether we continue under the
present form or change to a commits

cate of keeping our expenditures with

on a reasonable tax levy, and this tax
levy based on fair valuation of prop

City Attorney Hewitt was yester-
day instructed by the city council tC
proceed against the State bank of Sar

to that bank by the city treasurer OF
San Pedro previous to consolidation
City Auditor Myers claims the money
is due the city by reason of amounts
raised on two demands. One demand
he found had been raised from $50 10
$50 and another from $40 to $64. There
is no supposition that the demands
were raised by the bank, but were pre-
sented to the bank to be cashed after
being raised.
This is one of the features unearthed
by Charles Phipps, an expert account
ant who examined the books Of San
Pedro when they were turned over to
the city of Los Angeles after CONSOLE
dation. He found that the city mar
shall Of san Pedro was $131.75 short
in his accounts and when this was
called to the attention of the marshal
he Immediately paid the amount. The
books Of the street superintendent
showed a shortage of $40, but the street
superintendent produced a receipt Civ
en- him by the city treasurer for this
amount A shortage of $S4 was shown
in the engineers books, but he also
had the treasurer's receipt for the
amount
The expert found a large number
of demands and warrants were miss

To- ESTABLISH DRINKING
FOUNTAINS FOR ANIMAL
Council Permits Societies to Erect
Watering Places to BE Cared
for by the City

The subject of drinking fountains for
man and beast was presented to the
city council I'm several forms yesterday.
The Humane Animal league asked
and was granted permission to estab-
lish sanitary. galvanized iron foun-
tains in different parts Of the city. In
granting this permit the council also
instructed the board Of public works
to take care of the fountains after they
have been donated to the city.
The S. p. c. a. was granted permits
sion to install large drinking foun-
tain at the intersection of Spring, Main
and Ninth streets. This organization
has had a fountain at that place for
some time. but malicious persons have
wrecked it several times. The new
fountain is of more substantial con-
structpn.
r. A. McCracken. who was granted
permission by the council a year ago
to install penny-in-the-slot drinking
fountains for ice water wrote to the
council yesterday that he had not been
able to have the fountains made but
that they were being constructed and
would be installed within the next
thirty or sixty days.
