Six members of the band called
this morning at the home of Peter
Kalani, who was deposeu from his
position as bandmaster last night by
the board of supervisors, and in
formed him that they we're tender
ing their designations to take effect
October / because of the fact that
they did not believe the newly ap-
pointed baton wielder to lie a COM
petent man. Six more men are ex-
pected to follow this lead tomorrow,
and should the board continue to ig-
more their demands that the new
leader be withdrawn, band members
say that practically the entire band
with one or two exceptions will re-
sign on October l. -:
The SIX men who are rendering
their designations to take effect Oc-

ers in the organization, namely: J.

LONDON, Eng. Sept. 26.-Six civi-
lians lost their lives and Is were in
jured in the Hun air raid on the south
east of London city last night, accord
ing to report issued by the war Of
flee today.
The number of enemy planes taking
part in the raid is not known, but
only two of the. first group succeeded
in penetrating the barrage five the
anti-aircraft guns threw around the
city.
The repulse of the first squadron
was followed half an hour later by a
second flock, but a large force of Bri-
fish planes rose to give battle and
they were quickly dispersed.
Newspaper comments today declare
the raid a failure, and great
praise is given those who manned the
anti-aircraft guns which are declared
to have thrown an almost impenetra-
BILE curtain of fire around the city.

declared Supervisor Ben Hollinger,

ing.
"If they want to put a man in that

cent change in leaders, and the gen
eral expression of opinion was that
while they had no personal grudges
against the newly appointed band
master they do not feel that he was
the right man for the place.
Mayor Joseph J. Fern smiled when
told of the disruption of the band,
and casually remarked that they
could go as far as they liked. He
said that Bandmaster Baker would
retain the services of NJ. Mendoza
and J. McCabe, who had been dis
charged by Peter Kalani, and that he
did not think the matter would as
sumo a very serious aspect.

The plan IL to have all branches Of
the public works brought back under
the direct control of the city engi-
neer,s office, with the city engineer
in complete charge and with the pow
er to hire and fire. This will include
the waterworks and sewers, garbage
collection, street cleaning and puild-
ing inspection departments. The
present heads of these departments
may not be affected by this plan un-
less, of course, the mayor appoints
new heads before the scheme is put
into. effect.
Seek Greater Efficiency
This plan is going to mean the CO
ordination of the public works under
one head" says Mr.. Mott-Smith, who
will be q direct head and who at all
times will be responsible to the mayor
and the board of supervisors. II is
going to make for the elimination Of
petty fights between Departments and
department heads, as well AS between
and the board.
1--WE want to knit the whole thing
together and work along cooperative
lines and get more efficiency, less pnl-
itics in our city administration. There
will probably be a hot fight when it
is first attempted to put this plan
thr1SEh. but have no doubt that it
win ultimately 60 through.
II have said frequently," Mr.. Mott
Smith continued, that l want a city
engineer who is not a politician, who
is competent and on whom no super
visor or anyone else can bring politi-
cal pressure. With such man in of.
flee, we can have our public works
done not under the necessity Of poll
tics, but under the necessity of what
is actually required. The city sngi-
neer will be responsible to the mayor
and the board, and if he is incolnpe.
tent, then We can dispose of MIN and
get someone else"
