SANTA BARBARA FACES
DARK AND DUSTY STREETS
New City Council Finds Financial
Outlook Anything but En-
couraging

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 2.-According to
members of the finance committee OF the
council 1t is NOT a very encouraglhs picture
that is presented for the coming five months
of municipal administration. There must De
a general curtailment of expenses, as with
all resources included in the estimates the
cftv funds are $4,000 behind the amount re-
quifed for the ordinary running expenses io1
counting street repairs.
At the meeting of the council thursday
night the question of where to prune ana
how much the city can stand or proVlheal-
ism will be the subject Of greatest lmpor-
tance Not waiting for the council, the board
Of public works has gone to work with the
ak and chopped SIPS per month OIL OIL lhe
street sweeping appropriation. rms was
done by dismissing the driver or the
..souepeep and giving the man who operates
the brush sweeper the job or running lhe
husher as well, at $175 month Tor the Two
Jobs The brush sweeper has been pald Sloo
per month for running the rotary and cart
inc the sweepings, maintaining two teams,
while the "squegee' man has been paid the
same amount for his work, which neeessi-
tated but one team. There Will be but one
sweeping each week on upper State street and
on the boulevard, where heretofore these
payements have been swept three times
week The white wings doing service dur
ing the day on the business portion of the
street will be dismissed because Of lack Of
funds wherewith to pay them.
No sprinkling can be expected, even when
drv weather begins, until after July l, al
though there will be an effort 10 squeeze out
enough money to keep four of the eleven carts
going.
The possibility of greatly reducing the light
ed area Of the city even to the extent of
cutting out the street lights altogether is an
other situation that confronts the public.
There are now 172 street lamps. and the
charge is So 75 per light. These, with mean
descents on the boulevard and the lighting of
public buildings brings the Edison nlll
against the city to figure above 500 per
month,

JAIL TERM CURES
MATRIM ONIAL FEVER
LOS ANGELES WAITER SAYS
SENTENCE RIGHTED HIM
Otis o. Fisk Thanks Santa Monica
Judge for Sending Him Up
on Eve of His
Wedding
Especial to The Herald

SANTA MONICA, Feb. 2-"Thank
you, judge, for sending me up. You
saved me from making a serious mis-
take" said Otis Q. Fisk, q Los Angeles
waiter, who came here today after
serving thirty days in the county Jail
for disturbing the peace. Fisk made
the trip to Santa Monica to pour out
his thanks to Justice of the Peace j.
c. Steele, who sentenced him last
month, on the evening of Fisk's we'd
ding day Fisk told the justice that
he was glad he had been taken in the
tolls as he found out the true inward
ness" of his fiancees feelings
Fisk came to the beach from Los An
geles, feeling so elated over his ap-
preaching wedding that the police say
he imbibed considerable intoxicating
beverage. Several waiter friends as
sisted him in the celebration. 1t was
with a bicycle belonging to another
waiter and damaged the machine seri-
ously He ended his bicycle joy ride
in the city jail.
When he was searched, Fisk was
found to have the marriage license in
one of his pockets, together with other
papers showing that he was preparing
to go to housekeeping. He was fined
$50 or thirty days in Jail, and he chose
the latter.
While confined in the county jail,
Fisk informed Justice Steele today, he
had written to his sweetheart, asking
her to call upon him and also to get
some money to pay his fine. No atten
tion was paid to the request, according
to Fisk, but later he said, the girl told
him that she didn't intend to marry
jail bird. This was too much for Fisk,
and he said today that it had per-
manently cured him of the matrimonial
fever. He said he had a house all pre-
pared to lead his bride to, but now he
will dispose of all his carefully pre-
pared house furnishings and lead a
lonely bachelors life, without faith in
women

PASADENA, Feb. "A government

sentative this ,vening by Prof. T. S. C..
Lowe. whose aeronautic experience is
well known.
"The government desires a perma-
nent school for aeronautics" stated the
professor land after comforting with
officials for over q year at various
times, 1 now have assurance that the
station will come here, which will
mean that this will be a more impor-
tant military educational center than
Annapolis or West Point"
A company is being formed for the
manufacture of one of Prof. loves
Planet airships which will be used for
a demonstration to the government, ac-
cording to the promoters.
When asked if the company would
build the craft for commercial pur-
poses, Prof Lowe stated that material
is being gathered for only one now, but
that eventually they will be on the
market and will be very common
sight.
'"The same principle has already been
demonstrated,' he said, with my bal
looms in the civil war, but at that time
we lacked the machinery for propul-
sion. After the war I dropped the
matter on that account and now we
will go back and carry on the same
principle with modern machinery
1t is claimed that the new craft IS
guarded by the strongest patents, and
