MAJORITY OF BOARD
OPPOSED TO LIBRARIAN
Dame Run1or Presents Reasons Tor
Charles F. Lummls Offer
ing Resignation

A desire to pursue his literary stud
les was not the only reason Tor the
resignation of Charles f. Lummls as
librarian If the rumors that nave
leaked out of the library boards sane
tum are to be credited. Apparently
there were three other reasons and
they were the three new members OF
the library board appointed by Mayor
Alexander, namely, w. c. Patterson,
G. M. Giffen and Mrs. Shelley Toll
hurst. 1t has been stated that there
were four of these reasons and that
the other was NJ H. Newmark, the
fourth member of the library board. l.
b. Dockweiler appears to be the only
member of the library board friendly
to Mr.. Lummis, and his influence, 1t
is believed, was not strong enough to
continue Mr.. Lummis in his position.
Mayor Alexander said yesterday he
had not appointed any of the members
of the library board under instructions
of any kind, but when asked if he
knew their opinions on the librarian,
he answered with his characteristic
wink that usually speaks louder than
words.

OLD STREET ARGUMENT
Is REVIVED ONCE MORE
Finance Committee objects to Paying
$3.50 for improvements In
Front of School

The finance committee of the coun-
Gil proposes to open again the ancient
controversy between the city and the
board of education over the payment
of assessments for street improve
ments.
The city has been asked to pay $3.50
as it's share of the cost of improving
Loreto street in front of a public
school. But the finance committee does
not propose to pay this amount with
out a struggle and will recommend to
the council that the board of educa-
tion be asked why it does not pay
the money itself as all the city's money
for the department is turned over to
the county.
City Attorney Hewitt has held, in
previous decisions, that the school
board does not have to pay these as
sessments unless it chooses and in no
case has the board chosen to do so.

LACK OF FUNDS PREVENTS
ACCEPTANCE OF PARK SITE
Council Finance Committee Unable to
Accept Gaffey Offer Because
Treasury Is Depleted

Owing to the lack of fends the
finance committee will recommend
that the thirty acres at San Pedro
offered by John T. Gaffey as park
be not accepted until some time in the
future. One of the conditions attached
to the gift by Mr.. Gaffey was that
$250O be spent on the land at once,
building a road and making other i'm
provements. The park commission is
anxious to secure the land, but the
finance committee says there is no
money to spend.
The matter has been pending for
several weeks and recently Mr. Gaffey
told the park commission he was anX-
iCus that the deal be closed as speedily
as possible, as he had had good offers
for the land and he wanted the temp
tation to sell it removed from him.

NURSES NEEDED BY
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Legislative Committee Will Recon-
mend to Council That Settle-
ment Association Retain
Present Force

Two additional nurses for the health
department are recommended in the
report the legislative committee VIII
make to the council today. This VIII
give the health department six nurses,
and they are sorely needed on account
of the epidemic of measles among the
poorer classes.
The health department first asked
that the six nurses who work under
the direction of the Settlement assocla-
ton be given to the board of health,
but this did not meet the approval OF
the legislative committee, which con-
siders the Settlement association is
doing good work with the nurses at ITS
command. The board of health then
asked four additional nurses and the
coplr1ittee cut this number in two.
In addition to providing the addition
al nurses the position of city physician
will be divided into four Jobs, eacn
paying S25 a month. The board OF
health expects to secure the services
of four young doctors just beginning
prae.ice, who will devote part or
heir time to the work of caring for
the city'S sick poor.

CITY RESPONSIBLE FOR
DAMAGES, CLAIMS B. P. w.
Widening of Avenue Became Neces-
sary on Account of Encroach-
ments of Echo Park

Fairness will require that the city
pay the damages in the condemnation
suit for the widening of Echo Park
avenue from Laguna to Bellevue ave-
nues. is the report of the board of
public works to the council today
The widening of this street is oc-
casioned by the encroachment of Echo
park on Echo Park avenue. Echo
Park avenue has already been dedicat-
ed as a street 70 feet wide and if Echo
park had not encroached on the street
there would be no necessity for its
widening.
The board of public works be;c-~ es
that if the cost of the widening was
assessed against property owners in
the district it would work a hardship
on them. The board recommends the
city attorney be instructed to proceed
under the law of eminent domain in
stead of under the opening and widen
ing act.

SUIT AGAINST HAVENS
DISMISSED BY LING
Manager Cannot Support Wife Who
Has Tied Up His Funds by
an Action for Divorce

The complaint against Arthur L.
Havens. manager of an electrical sup
ply concern in the Pacific Electric
building, charging him with failure to
provide for his wife, Myrtle e. Havens,
was dismissed yesterday by Justice
Ling upon the motion of the district
attorney.
The cause for the dismissal by the
district attorney Is based upon the dis
covery of the fact that Havens had
been unable to provide for his wife

tied up by restraining order of the
superior court in divorce proceedings
brought by Mrs. Havens.
Testimony on an order to show cause
why he should not pay temporary ali
mony pending the divorce suit was
heard In Judge Houser's court yester-
day and taken under advisement.

A BURNING QUESTION
Should a Girl Ever Be En-
gagged to Two Men at
Once?

A discussion has arisen in New
York over the question of whether a
nice girl should ever be engaged to
two men at once. This has been set
rolling by THE Builder of Bridges"
in which Kyrle Bellew is starring
this season. In order to save her
brother from the penitentiary, Dor
othy Faringay, though engaged to
one man, becomes engaged to Ed
ward Thursfield (Mr. Bellew) who is
influential in the FIRM from which
the brother has stolen money. The
problem narrowed down becomes
the question whether devotion to a
brother can ever compensate for
playing fast and loose with lover.
Curiously enough, a majority of
those who defend Dorothy Faringay
are men, while her severest critics
are unmarried women. Miss Han
