RAILWAY ARE LOWERED
County Board of Equalization
Grants Petition on Ground
of Improper Credits

On application from the Pacific Elec-
trio Railway company, the county
board of equalization yesterday lowered
the corporations assessments from ST.
$50, ,160 to s747, Ito. The board took this
action because proper credits had not
been allowed for tangible property
while figuring the corporate franchise.
This was brought about by reason of
an extension of time being given to
the assessor of Orange county In which
to make his returns. Therefore Asses
sor Hopkins had to make his state
ment in Los Angeles county prior to
the time when the Orange county
figures were turned in, and in arriving
at a value to place on the corporate
franchise he deducted the Orange
county part of the railway, naming the
same figures as were placed on it last
year.
At the same time the assessment on
the corporate franchise of the Los An
geles & Redondo railway was raised to
1915, ,555. The railway officials made no
objection to the increase, they being
aware that the first figures were due
to a clerical error and that the assess
ment should have been higher.

PARK COMMISSION ASKS
LARGER APPROPRIATION
Budget More Than Doubles Last
Years Estimate

The park commission yesterday ap-
provd the annual estimate for that de-
partment, which asks a total of $337. 065
for the city parks. Half of this amount
is to be expended in permanent i'm
provements and the remainder in cur
rent expenses and salaries. The COM
mission asks $97, ,465 for permanent i'm
provements in Central park alone. The
plan to make Central park one of the
most beautiful in the city in spite of it's
small size has been the dream of the
park commission ever since it has been
in office. Besides the Identification of
the grounds, the plans call for foun-
tains, comfort stations and other sub
stantial improvements.
A new conservatory is wanted for
Eastlake park, and the commission
asks 100000 for this purpose. Previous
commissions have made the same de-
mand, but so far the finance commit
tee has never been able to find the
money. Trains, roads and water supply
in Griffith park that the commission is
planning will cost another $4,000, and
$4,000 is wanted to purchase twenty
head of horses and mules.
The amount asked by the commission
for the city parks is more than double
the amount allowed the department in
the last budget, which was $4,000.
Because of the lack of aggression on
the part of former park commissions
the budget committee has usually left
the park department until the last, and
1t then had to take what was left.
That, in a large measure, the present
commissioners believe, accounts for the
failure of some of the city's parks to
receive the full benefit of the natural
advantages of this country.

CITY THINKS COUNTY IS
HOLDING OUT $4,000
Last Years Cahuenga Road Tax
Alleged to Be Bone of
Contention

Believing that the county is holding
out about $33, 900 due the city, deputies
from the office of City Assessor Mallard
are carefully going over the county tax
books to find out how much was paid
in taxes to the county from the Ca
huenga district.
The city is entitled to the road taxes
paid in to the county from this dis
trict except that, portion expended be-
fore the district was annexed to the
city. This unexpended portion is a
bone of contention between the city
and county, and there is a big differ
enCe of opinion in the amount.
The county has rendered the city
$1,000, but w M. Humphreys has good
grounds to believe that the total road
tax paid in by the Cahuenga district
last year was $4,000, and that the por-
tion that should come to the city is
$4,000. The acceptance of the $1,000
would jeopardize the chances of the city
of collecting the $4,000 additional, if it
should be proved that that amount is
due the city, so the municipal authors
ties have refused to accept a cent.
Mr.. Humphreys took City Auditor
Myers into his confidence, and the two
induced City Assessor Mallard to put
some Of his tax ferrets to work.
If it should develop that $4,000 is due
the city, Mr. Humphreys will demand
that amount, and it will be used in the
Cahuenga district for road improve
ment

RECEIVE BID FOR LEASE
OF CITYS INCINERAT0R

One bid was received by the board Of
public works yesterday for the lease of
the incinerator. D. B. Lowe offered to
pay the city $166.67 a month for the
privilege Of using it. Mr.. loves GER
tilted check was signed by Joseph Mes
mer, and the board of public works
believes thta Mr.. Mesmer and S. c..
Hannah are interested with Mr.. Lowe.
The offer is considered a reasonable one
by w. NJ. Humphreys, chief inspector
of public works. and it was referred to
him by the board for action.
The Specifications under which the
bid was submitted provide that the
leasee may burn rubbish and refuse
from such places as large retail stores
and produce markets, and charge fee
for burning the matter. While rubbish
is collected from private residences free
of charge by the city, business concerns
have to pay for having it hauled away
and burned. The incinerator is not
used by the city except for burning
small animals, and the board believes a
revenue should be derived from it.

HEAR ARGUMENTS ON A
FALSE ARREST CHARGE

F. E. Windsor of Los Angeles with
having caused his arrest by deceit
and fraud, was before Justice Summer

against his client was faulty. Argu-
ments on the question were heard yes
terday afternoon and will be continued

CIVIC BODIES DEMAND
ACTION ON FIGHT FILMS
Council Petitioned to Prohibit Ex-
hibitionS at Once

Petitions from the Civic association
and the Ebell club. asking the council
to take some action to prohibit the
exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson prize
fight pictures are to be filed IL the city
council today accepts the recommenda-
ton of the public welfare committee.
But the filing of these petitions does
not mean that the pictures are to be
shown in Los Angeles, for they are not.
The committee calls attention to the
fact that there is q city ordinance
CHASING prize fight pictures and OBJ
scene pictures together, and prohibit
ing their exhibition, and the committee
says Chief Galloway has declared his
intention of enforcing the ordinance.
The legislation committee, in the
same connection, will ask the council
today to instruct the city attorney to
draw an ordinance that not only will
prohibit prize fights, but sparring
matches as well, so that a fight cannot
masquerade as boxing exhibition.

HOOTED BY PASSENGERS,
MAN SUES P. {. RAILWAY
Charges Insults Followed Taking
Up of Ticket from
Conductor

For alleged gross insults, humiliation
and subjection to the boots and Jeers
of a crowd, c. Paiso, who declares
himself a person of refinement, filed
suit in the superior court yesterday
against the Pacific Electric Railway
company, asking $2500 damages.
According to the complaint, Paiso
boarded a San Pedro car at Seventh
and Main streets May l and purchased
from the conductor a round-trip ticket
to the harbor section of Los Angeles.
On the return trip, he AYERS, the con-
ductor took up his return ticket and
then demanded an extra fare.
Paiso refused to pay again, and to
the accompaniment of the boots and
jeers of fellow passengers, he declares,
the conductor elected him at Bangle
station. There he waited until another
car of the defendant company arrived.
and, boarding 1t, he was forced to
pay his fare to reach Los Angeles.
Reaching the depot at Sixth and
Main streets, Paiso declares, he found
the necessity of paying an extra fare
had emptied his pockets of all cash,
and he was forced to walk home, thus
increasing the humiliation to which
he alleges he already had been sub
jected. -.

Mrs. Heron Heaps Up Allegations
in Suits Over Property
and for Divorce

Mrs. Amy A. Heron's suit against
her husband, DIR. n. G. Heron or the
Heron Eucalyptus company, for a
division of their property and her
counter-c complaint for divorce We're
temporarily postponed yesterday by
Judge Hutton of the superior court, TO
permit her to file suit against n. wal
lace Werman as 1oint-defendant
Mrs. Heron's troubles, according to
her complaints, are of the dlreSI ma
ture. She starts them by stating her
age as 65 years, and that of her nus
band as As years.
She charges her husband with eX-
treme cruelty which, she AYERS cul-
minated in his taking her for ride
last winter and concluding what she
thought would be a pleasant trip by
placing her in the ward for the insane
at the county hospital.
Then, she declares. on or about Jan
uary 29, 1910, she was sent to the
asyium at Patton, as the result of
9rickerv on his part. She was dis
charged from that institution June o.
and was restored to competency
June "a.
TJpon her release from the insane
asylum, she asserts, she learned of her
husbands intention of obtaining
divorce from her. She began an in
vestigation of his affairs that ended
In her belief that he had leased their
home at 93S West jefferson street to
N. Wallace Werman for term OF
three years in return for the board
and lodging of the physician.
She declares the property to be
worth in the neighborhood of $l5,00O
and AYERS its rental should be not less
than SIS a month. In view of these
beliefs. she wants to make Werman a
1oint defendant, in the thought that
he is receiving too much profit from
the alleged lease.
In her ross-complaint for divorce
Mrs. Heron charges her husband with
a statutory offense. She also wants
alimony, a temporary allowance of
500 a month, $500 for attorneys fees
and $50 to pay the costs of the suit.
