request of the district attorney Judge
Davis dismissed charge of burglary
against him.
Evers was alleged to have entered the
hardware store of II. r. Wiseman at
Sawtelle August 10 and taken merchan-
disc valued at about $3.50. He claimed
that he did not enter the store, but

CITYs BIG POCKETBOOK
SAGS DURING HOLIDAYS
Sixty-Four Dollars Now Remains
from General Expense
Fund of 100000

The city yesterday found itself in
the same position with people who
have completed their Christmas shop
ping and contemplate their pocket
books. out of 100000 set aside in the
general expense fund last July there
is only soaps left, according to report
j. H. Fountain, deputy city auditor,
made to the finance committee yes
terday.
But conditions are not quite as bad
as they appear on the auditors books.
More than $4,000 has been loaned from
the general expense fund to the street
lighting fund, street opening and wild
ening fund, and other funds of that
kind and all that money will go back
into the general expense account.
Nor are conditions as bad as they
were under the former council That
body began its fiscal year with gem
eral expense fund of $500 but at
this time last year had to take $780,
600 from the reserve fund and transfer
it to the general expense fund. The
present council has not had to touch
the reserve fund and does not intend
to do so unless it is found absolutely
necessary.
There is $550,000 in the reserve fund,
but this money is to be carefully saved
to cover what are called the dry
months" the ~oriod between June and
November, when there is no money
coming in from taxes.
When these facts are contemplated it
shows the city still is in a good finan-
cial condition. although there is only
q little chewing gum money in its
right hand trousers pocket

Al Associated Press dispatch yesterday an
nounced that at meeting held in New York

place for holding sanctioned meets for
licensed drivers who took part in the recent
Ascot meet pulled off by Barney Oldfield.
The list of drivers named in the dispatches

The disqualification also applies to the cars
that participated.
1t is proposed to bring Oldfield's suspension

tlon Of Automobile clubs.

the control Of the A. A. \. Also the cars

privately owned machines. in which case an
Injustice would hc done the makers TO bar
their cars from other meets because OF local
matter which was beyond their control.
That some definite action will be taken at

a hearing Of the accused.

We're not ready for the council when
that body met last night to approve
them.
The commission will work all through
the Christmas holidays and have them
ready for the council to act by Tues
day. This will make a delay of only
one day under any circumstances, as
they will be published on wednesday
morning. Had they been approved last
night they could not have been pub
lished until Tuesday morning.
c. O. Hawley, fire commissioner, in
duced the council to consider an
amendment that will provide a police
and fire pension fund by charter instead
of depending on the state law, as is
now the case. The plan is to raise
the pension fund by direct taxation,
which will not amount to more than a
matter of mills, instead of by direct
assessment of the policemen and fire.
men. The taxpayer pays the cost in
either event, for the firemen and po-
licemen are given enough in addition
to their salaries to pay the 81 monthly
assessment made for the pension fund.
\ charter arrangement for this fund
will also prevent the condition that con-
fronts these funds every year of a
deficit. The fire department has al
ready asked the council for $3.50 to cover
deficit of that amount in the fire
pension fund.- and the police pension
fund is nearly exhausted.
Alternative propositions on the height
of buildings also will be submitted to
vote Of the people. One amendment
will provide that buildings may go
higher than $50 feet, while the alter
ntaive will either provide for taking
the limit off entirely or for ornamental
ton that will go above the 150-foot
