FIND BODY
or JOHN h. R|DGEWAY
Corpse of Man Who Lost Life in
Ocean Found Near the
BreakWater

VENICE, Aug. 19.-The body of John
H. Ridgeway of Venice, who lost his
life in attempting to rescue a young
woman from the breakers here last
Monday, was found floating in the
water near the breakwater today. The
discovery was made by Japanese fisher
men. Identification of the body was
made by ring worn by Ridgeway.
Ridgeway was bathing in the surf
with his wife early Monday morning,
when the screams of Miss Bertha f.
Hartnal of Pasadena, who was being
carried to sea by a tiderip, reached his
ears. He plunged to her assistance and
was lost in the surf. He was not seen
again after he entered the breakers.
c. A. Glougie, a merchant of Sanger,
Cal, and who is an expert swimmer,
reached Miss Hartnal just in time to
prevent her from drowning. Ridgeway
was missed and despite a thorough
search his body could not be found.
He was a member of the Foresters and
odd Fellows orders and fellow members
assisted in the attempts made to re-
cover the body. Ridgeway leaves a
widow and two children in this city
and a married daughter at Detroit.
Funeral arrangements have not been
made, but will be announced later at
Kirkelie's undertaking parlors where
the services will be held.

To PASS UPON PROPOSAL
FOR SPECIAL TAX LEVY
City Council of Long Beach to
Call an Election for
September |

LONG BEACH, Aug. 19.-The city
council tonight voted to call a special
election for September l, when the
people of the city will pass upon the
proposal for a special tax levy to pro-
vide certain municipal improvements
and attractions.
1t is proposed to provide $25, 900 for
a municipal band, $500 for advertising
and entertainment, 100000 for a park
in the seventh ward, $4,000 for pub
lie comfort station, $4,000 for fire n.y.
drants in new territory. These pro-
posals will be submitted separately so
that voters may vote as they please
with regard to each. If all are au-
thorized the total to be expended will
be $77,50O and a levy of 36 cents will be
necessary to provide this sum.
An earlier plan to submit a pro-
posal for a bond issue was abandoned
in favor of the plan for a special tax
levy.
For two weeks a majority of the
councilmen have been at outs with the
mayor over the city budget. He turned
it over to the clerk and the auditor,
the councilmen charge, before they
were through with it. They claim a
final vote on the budget as a whole
was never taken. The mayor asserts it
is a closed incident and cannot be re-
opened. The councilmen claim that
most of the items mentioned in the
resolutions adopted last night all of
them, perhaps, except the park, could
be taken care of in the budget, if it
was revised without raising the tax
rate above the 81 mark set by the or
dinance. The mayor refuses to con-
slider any revision of the budget and
last night declared he would not con-
sent to taking it up even with the COM
mittee of the realty board and cham
Der of commerce in consultation with
the council. He claims there is dam
ger of making the budget illegal by
"tampering" with it. The councilmen
claim it may be illegal as it is. be-
cause no final vote on the budget as
a whole was taken. This matter has
been threshed out at recent council
meetings and was given a thorough
airing last night, when the mayor and
councilmen exchanged warm repartee
and one of the councilmen angrily
charged the mayor with attacking the
competency of the city fathers to
handle the budget matter.

CITIZENS PETITION
FOR MUNICIPAL FERRY

SAN PEDRO, Aug. ia petition
commerce signed by large number
of citizens asking that efforts be made
to get the city council to establish
the municipal ferry promised by the
consolidation agreement. The resolu-
ton particularly demands a team
ferry.
The proposal to use one boat for a
ferry between San Pedro, Wilmington
and Terminal island meets with little
favor here. The present ferry monop-
oily gives good service but it requires
several boats to do so. The most of
the traffic is between San Pedro and
East San Pedro. Three-minute SER
vice is given across the channel by the
use Of a medium sized launch and is
the most profitable part of the monop-
oily of the San Pedro Transportation
company. The only complaint is the
high fare. Five cents is charged for
single trips across the channel. Hun
dreds of workingmen who work on the
east side and live in San Pedro have
complained long about the excessive
fare charged and the pledge in the con-
solidation tgreement to give ferry ser
vice at a fare of cents Won many
votes in the consolidation campaign.
Thirty-minute service is given on
the Terminal island ferry with one
launch, and in the afternoon 15-minute
service is given requiring two launches
The fare is 10 cents. One boat run
ming between Wilmington, Terminal
and East San Pedro could not give bet
ter than hourly service which would
be far from satisfactory no matter
what fare might be charged. More
than 80 per cent of the passengers use
the East San Pedro ferry, where a
three-minute service is given with one
launch.
For a steam ferry a larger boat would
be required than could be run econom-
ically at frequent intervals and give as
good service as is now given between
san Pedro and East San Pedro.
