NEGRO CHARGED WITH
PEEPING IN WINDOW
Arthur Harrison Arrested by Dep.
uty Sheriff Scott After
Hard Struggle

Arthur Harrison, 80 years old, a
negro, who is alleged to have been
prowling about the home of Frank
Morris at 734 Ruth avenue, and peep
ing in the windows at night, was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff R. Scott last
night and booked at the central police
station on a charge of disturbing the
peace. The negro showed fight and 1t
was necessary to subdue him before
he could be taken into custody.
Scott was visiting Miss Norris, when
he saw the negro enter the yard and
sneak to a side window and place his
face against the glass The officer had
been told by the young woman that a
man had been sneaking about the
premises and he was on the alert for
the appearance of the disturber. AS
soon as his attention was called to the
negro Scott drew his revolver and fired
twice at the crouching figure The
negro ran to the sidewalk and fell as
if wounded. Scott hurried after the
fleeing man and when the latter fell
made him arise and with the aid of
several others who were attracted by
the shots oVerpoWered Harrison and
held him until the patrol wagon ap-
peared.
In falling to the ground the negro
struck his face against a tree and suf-
fered a half inch laceration under the
right eye.
After being treated at the receiving
hospital the negro was locked in a cell
and will be arraigned in police court
this morning.

NEW FUND AVERTS COST
OF ADVERTISING BIDS
Special Appropriation Permits of
Small Street Repairs Without
Vrooman Act Proceedings

The wisdom of the city council in
setting aside in the budget a fund Of
$4,000 on which the city engineering de-
partment can draw for minor street
repairs is exemplified in a number of
reports made by the city engineer to
the board of public works. In one of
these reports Mr. Hamlin asks author
ity to spend just ten little dollars for
eighty square feet of cement sidewalk,
another $25 for a small amount of curb
opposite Sycamore park and on Ave-
nue. 1S, and anothed for $50 worth Of
cement walk. These are all repairs
that property fall on the city and not
on the individual property owner.
But before this special fund was
provided it was necessary to go
through regular Vrooman act proceed
ings to construct even an inch Of
sidewalk or curb. The advertisement
and the legal work necessary to pre-
pare the ordinance would greatly add
to the cost, and as little jobs of this
nature are not attractive to contract
ors, 1t was sometimes necessary to ad-
vertise several times for bids, increas-
ing the cost every time an advertise
ment was inserted.
When a bid was finally received it
was usually for about twice as much
as the job was actually worth, which,
with the preliminary costs, sometimes
ran the total up to five or six times
the actual value of the work. Had
it been necessary to go through the
usual proceedings for these small jobs
reported bv the engineer, the total cost
of the work would probably have been
hundreds of dollars, but the city can
do the entire work for less than $65
out of the $4,000 fund appropriated in
the budget.

PLAN TO PAVE SLAUS0N
AVENUE WITH ASPHALT
Important Thoroughfare of City
to Be Improved

Plans have just been completed by
the city engineer for the asphalt
pavement of Slauson avenue from
Central to Arlington, nearly the en-
tire length OF the street within the
city limits.
This will Ibe one of the most i'm
portant improvements ever made in
the southwest part Of the city, but 1t
has been found necessary because
Slauson, that but a few years ago
was away out in the sagebrush, has
become one of the important thor
oughfares of the city and probably
the most important in the southern
part. With the building of the harbor
highway, which is to run down Main
street, Slauson avenue will become
even more important as thorough
fare, and the property owners realize
this fact. This is but one of the nu-
merous improvements that are being
made on what was formerly the edge
of the city.
Central avenue is to be widened to
eighty feet from Slauson to Nadeau,
and eventually the widening will be
carried to Manchester avenue.
Plans for the paving of Slauson in
clude the handling Of storm water on
Slauson as well as it can be handled
until adequate storm drains can be
constructed, with the exception of the
intersection of Main street. 1t is pro-
posed to pave Main street under
separate proceedings. and the inter-
section of Slauson and Main Is to be
included in the Main street proceed
ings. This is made necessary by rea-
son of the fact that a right of way
must be condemned across the Santa
Fe's tracks.
