of buffoon usually seen on the stage,
but a whole-souled, full-blooded, good

and in "Rosahnd at Redgate," Mr..
Nicholson lets him step into the lime

character the stage has known In

HOSE PROBLEM FACES
THE NEW FIRE CHIEF
Official Has Tough Task Before
Him in Purchase of 10000
Feet of Hose

Fine stunt for Archie Eley, the new
chief of the fire department. First
crack out of the box he will have to
help decide the purchase of Il, 900 feet
of fire hose, and with the forty-nine
rubber agents clinging affectionately to
his neck this will not be such a swell
job. Then, when it it bought, he will
have to test it. No, Eley hasn't fallen
into any rosy bed of ease.
Bids for this hose are to be opened
by the council Tuesday morning, and
the hose will be purchased if the bids
suit the council. They didn't last time.
Two weeks ago bids were opened, but
the council considered them too high
and rejected the whole works. They
this council isn't like preceding ones,
when they could put in any old bid
they pleased and make up the differ
ence, 1t is rumored, by slipping some-
thing to certain individual members.
Protests on the assessment district
for Sunset boulevard and Mission road
are also things the council will have to
deal with Tuesday morning. Property
owners who are stung for these i'm
provements are kicking against the
high price, and a few Of them have a
real kick coming. In some instances
the assessments are so high that it
takes the lot and house and chicken
coop to pay it, especially on the Sun
set boulevard proposition. This as
sessment district will almost surely be
changed.
