DENY PROTEST AGAINST
ALAMEDA STORM SEWER
Committee Establishes Precedent
That Will Lead to Other
Improvements

BY denying the protest against the
Alameda street storm sewer, the street
committee yesterday not only provided
a badly needed storm drain, but es-
tablished a precedent that made City
Engineer Homer Hamlin smile broad
ly. 1t is expected the council will ap-
prove the action of the committee and
order the work to proceed in spite or
the protest
The engineering department has
been trying for several years to have
q storm sewer constructed in Ala
media and contiguous streets, for dur
ing the winter rains these streets are
nearly impossible. Hundreds of dol
lars have been expended in engineer
ing preliminaries, but previous coun-
ellis always abandoned proceedings
when a protest was presented.
The same protest was presented TO
the present council, but the streets
committee, to which the matter was
referred. considered the sewer neces-
sary, and will recommend the pro-
test be denied.
According to figures presented by
w. M. Humphreys to the committee,
the sewer will cost $157, AL. But the
sewer drains an area of 1400 acres,
and this area will have to pay for it..
There are 6201 lots, and these lots are
divided into "a" and "B" classes.
The "A' class will have to pay $34.O6
each and the "B" class $1743.
With the precedent of the Alameda
storm sewer to give him courage, the
city engineer probably will present
plans for several more sewers
throughout the city. There probably
will be a revival of the Pico storm
sewer that was knocked out by the
previous council through protest, and

the city,

FIREMAN FINED $55 ON

MODERN CIRCUS CLOWN

The mission of the clown is highly
estimable. He is the naturalization
of merrimeht and as essential to the
circus as the beautiful horses, the
riders and all else which goes to make
up the tented performance of TO-DAY.
The circus contains much of lnstruc-
ton and interest, but 1t must nave
fun also, and the clowns are depended
upon to keep up intermitting hilar1ty.
What would the children do at

preciate the daring and skill of the
riders, of the aerialist, of the aero
bats, but the youngsters will turn

of skill, strength and agility. to watch
the funny antics of the clown.
The clown has kept pace with the
progress in other directions. He mas

was when one clown sufficed for a
circus; when an enterprising manager
engaged four clowns the fact was en-
blazoned in big letters on the bills as
a great feature of the show.

tent of today would be lost. The Bar

Structures Death Traps

EVERY school building of two
stories or more is a death trap" said
Fire Commissioner Hawley at the
meeting of the commission yesterday,
when the reports of captains and lieu
tenants of the fire department on the
school houses in their districts were
presented. These reports showed that
practically no protection against fires
had been taken and in some Of the
older buildings the doors opened in
ward, violation of the city building
ordinance.
"The board of education has hardly
had time to think about these things,
continued Mr. Hawley. 1T has been
so busy trying to finance the schools
and provide enough buildings that it
has had little chance to give atten-
ton to the character Of the buildings
as a fire menace"
The fire commission instructed Sec
Tetary McKeag to write to the board
of education pointing out the chief
troubles and asking the cooperation
