Eek •trom s, 82-1 Sou'Ti fprlng street PEOPLE MAKE A KICK ENGINE HOUSE LOCATIONS NOT SATISFACTORY BOND ELECTION CALL A FACTOR F|lre Department Claims Council Has Unjustly Charged It With a Big Item —City Hall News A merry hullabaloo has been kicked up Among the property-holders in various parts of the city by the Information con tained In the fire board committee's report on the location of englno houses, as pub lished In detail In yesterday's Herald. The board, and Incidentally the city council, are accused of Insincerity and misrepre sentation, and as the matter looks to a man up a tree, there la abundant reason for such'an accusation. But when all the facts ln the case are known It Is clearly shown that there has been no Intentional misrepresentation, and that tho whole trouble arises from a misunderstanding between parties concerned. When the question of issuing bonds* for the tiro department improvements was first brought before the publio it was the sub ject of on exhaustive report from Chief Walter Moore, who set forth all the Im provements necessary to make the depart ment a first-class one. This report also went into details as to the districts need ing engine houses and fire-extinguishing apparatus, telling Just where each should be located. The report was published In the newspapers, and subsequently when tho bond proposition was submitted to the people many of them claim they supported It in the full belief that the recommenda tions of the chief were to be carried out In the matter of location. In the udvertlsemnt calling the bond elec tion the purposes for which the money was to be used were given in detail, and the lo cations of the projected engine houses were Included. They did not agree with the locations named previously In the chief's report, however, and another class there fore contend that they have been Interested ln and favorable to the proposition as It was outlined ln the advertisement Now comes the article of yesterday, and to the consternation, disappointment, chagrin and Indignation of both the before mentioned classes It is suggested that the locations be different than any heretofore considered. Hence the howl. ln explanation of the matter, Chief Moore states that the locations mentioned In his report last year were meant as mere suggestions, and had no weight In the matter. This is almost as true of the last list as considered by the commission on Wednesday and published' yesterday. The list as published ln the election call is believed to be the legally authentic one, and some of those who were kicking yesterday on the change stated that they would Insist on Its being followed In the advertisement for sites. Should they sustain their claim, the dis tricts will be much larger than"those out lined yesterday, and therefore many more 1 people will have an opportunity to offer their lots or lots and buildings for engine house purposes. The matter will come up before the coun cil on Monday and will probably bo re ferred to a committee for consideration. One or two members of the council have examined the different lists of locations, suggested, nnd etpress themselves as of the opinion that the districts outlined In tho call for th bond election must be com plied with. Members of the fire commis sion, when their attention was called to the matter, stated that the election call advertisement would undoubtedly have to bo complied with. CASE OF GIVE AND TAKE Council Charges the Hydrant Valves to the Fire Department Fire Chief Moore was somewhat aston ished the other day when he received his bjoks from Auditor Nichols' office, where they had been taken for posting, to find tbnt the figures therein showed the hy dratrt fund rf the department about ex hausted. An Inspection of tho Items charged to the account developed the fac' that the finance committee of the city council had placed an unexpected burde.i on the department by charging to It the cost of the Eddy brass valves purchaser several months ago at an expense of $260.1 Hotn the chief and the members of th< nro board contend that this purchase was not made at the request of the department nor particularly for Its benefit, It belnp made necessary by the liberal U4S to which the hydraniß are put by the street nprink lire department. The Item was not In the department's annual estimate and as the entire allowance for hydrants for the cur rent fiscal year was only $3692. this unex pected $2600 burden will cause the fund t become exhausted within a short time anil the balance of the hydrant expense for the year ending July next can be provided foi only by overdraft. The proceeding :p viewed as a sort of "give and take" game the council apparently allowing the de part ment $103,000 and then taking abou s3ooo of It away. OIL INSPECTOR'S COLLECTIONS Have Been on the Increase During the Last Quarter Oil Inspector Monlux's collections for th.. ilrst quarter of the current fiscal year ar. about completed, and the shewing made 1. --cspeolally satisfactory, the total collectloi. bo ng larger than for any like period dur Ing his term Of office. His term began in April of 1597. and the six quarterly collec tions made since then Were In amounts ns follows: IS97—April. May and June, $912. July. August and September. $969: Octo ber, November and December, $1267. IS9S— January. February and March, $1515: April May and June, $1619; July, August and September, $1661. The total collection Is $7!M3, an average of about $440 per month for the year and a half. In the Los Angeles oil district there are now about 550 producing wells, the aggre gate daily output being estimated at 300r barrels. Only eight or ten new wells are now in process of development, the pre vailing price not being a very substantial Incentive to experiment. The operations are therefore confined to fields where oil is known to be. PASADENA BOULEVARD Joseph Mesmer Tells How It Should Be Built and Paid For The Pasadena boulevard protect Is still alive and kicking. Joseph Wessmer, ai ardent advocate of tbe ndot ■ route, yes terday delivered himself of tbe following opinion on the subject to an .itternoon paper: "Jiißt at present matters t>: ttet - ! LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1898 quo, so fa' as tha boulevard Is concerned." said Mr. Mesmer, "but we don't give up yet. The boulevard as planned was en tirely satisfactory; it was far more Inex pensive In construction, to my mind, than any other route that could be selected, and Whatever steps are taken to revive the project will be along the linos as originally planned. The- irouble all arose over the limits of ths a cessment district, and time will remedy that. I believe that the pub lic Is coining mora and more to appreciate the necessity of the boulevard, and would ,c quite willing -o have the entire city as sume pad oj the cost. It would be quite proper and lust, and legal, too, as I am ln foinied. for ths property owners along the line of Improvement and for those bone- Tied by the boulevard to be assessed morn ivlly, to a considerable extent, than the • aof th* property owners In the city. I have bad men ome to me who helped get ip i et It lons to knock out the other assess ment district, and declare that they did not i illy di tand the condition of af fairs thi as they do now, or they would have olib I n gel ting It passed by the coun cil.

THE PUBLIC PULSE [Th* Herald under this heading prints communications, but does not assume re sponsibility for the sentiments expressed. Correspondents are requested to cultivate brevity, so far as Is consistent with tbe proper expression of their views.] Another Old Soldier To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald: An alleged "Republican Old Soldier" has a communication ln this morning's Her ald which challenges allko the fair fame of the old soldier and the Republican party. The crux of his plaint Is that "the push" of his party failed to nominate cer tain ex-soldiers for official positions they coveted, notwithstanding the fact that the aforesaid old Boldler Is confidently relied on to furntod his contingent of ballots., that he. stands by ar/d supports the ticket. The whole tenor of h's article Is to the effect that the old soldier is a factor In party politics for what he can get cut of It, from the top down to Justice of the peace. He avers that "the push" of bis part] knocked out, pushed aside, S'nmo cx-soldler candi dates before tho recent county conven tion. He would resent this afrrnt put upm the soldier oon'tlngent by organising a counter push within the periphery of the g. o. p. He would do this by refusing to de liver ballots election day as a pofnter for future conventions—a "coign of vantage" for the Incubating soldier push. The right or the wrong of It is not in question; the patriotic equities are not Oott<dd*red, but the party Is to be disciplined by the voting strength of the old soldier fcr daring to re fuse to accept its candidates. The other "push" must yield to the soldier push. There Is also within the Republican pnrty the railroad push, which must be reckoned with, though Its "sphere of influence" scarcely reaches down to petty county of ficials, which alone come within the horo scope of the anonymous writer ln review. What 1 am moved to protest against ;s the. low political level of the crowd In which "Republican Old Soldier" trains. If the Republican party Is a theater for the exploitation of the push, as he more than Insinuates, It l« quite time honest Repub lican old soldiers should abandon It, In stead of Joining ln the push and scramble for spoils. Honor and American manhood should and do mean something to the worthy, re spected and self-respecting old soldier. If the Republican party has fallen into devi ous ways, has become a machine for ad vancing the Interests of contriving men and corporations at the expense of the gen eral welfare, the gangrene Is too pervading to be cured by the remedy proposed. But a cure may not be Just what men like "Republican Old Soldier" are aiming at. If It is only a division of swag they are after they may got It, for the Repub lican party of today knows how to do practical politics; understands addition division and silence. But there are so many open hands. There are the rallncad push, the push of the Ins, of the outs, the push of the whisky, gamblers and other rings? and now comes the old soldier push. But the latter Is not formidable and may be safely ignored, as it is said to have been at the late convention. Reputable Republicans of the home are measuring party pretensions, practices and aspirations with qulfe a different yard stick. What they, want ln the way of politics Is the advancement of the general welfare —the greatest good to the greatest number. If the ex-soldiers gathered here did their country a .good turn when they fought Its battles, they but did their duty. Their best thought now Is to give the weight of their Influence and votes to the party most strenuously endeavoring to ach'eve the upllftment of humanity—the masses. Our general laws appear to have been framed to produce AstCTS, Beltnonts. Van derbilts, Pullmans, Rockefellers. Algers and fhe like at the one end with an army of vlcilons, thieving, murdering tramps at the other. This Is a relic of old world feudal and monarchical methods of law making. We would have an American sys tem of legislation; one that will rectify the Inequalities that prevail under the old regime. Ah, no; voting against three or four can didates whose places aid soldiers wanted dees not fill the measure of our aspira tions. The vital question nt Issue Is" man hood vs. money. A more formidable con flict is on than that we successfully met In the OO's. Stand steady at the guns. Mr. Herald. Magulre and the captains. Cali fornia first, then the whole country. POPULIST. Soldiers' Home, Sept. 27, 1898. Supervisor Third District To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald: Some two years ago in a wing of the county hospital in the basement were con fined three people, two men and one wo man. The men were old, and too feeble to take off their own clothes. They had the outside cell. There was a young wo man confined In that damp, filthy, stinking basement, where no ray of sunlight could enter, and where no one of her own sex could see her unless sent for that purpose. She had the adjoining cell. Under the laws of the state any woman (suffering with temporary insanity must be sent to the county hospital until adjudged to be Insane enough to be sent to one of the state asylums. These cells In the base ment of a wing of the county building are the placea where the unfortunate victims of temporary insanity are confined. An expense of not to exceed $250 would have built an addition that would have allowed those unfortunates sunlight and the society of their own sex. Who was responsible for the situation? Was it the people of this great county who were taxed last year $12,000 for the maintenance of the county hospital? Was It the girl In the filthy cell ln the basement? Republics are supposed to be ungrateful, but they have never been so ungrateful as to allow the poor and unfortunate to suffer need lessly. Who was the chairman of tho committee on county farm and county hospital? The man who was renominated by the Repub lican party for supervisor of the Third district. Was It not providential that sealed bids were opened for the construc tion of an Insane ward at the county hos pital on the eve of the renomlnation of the chairman of that committee for supervisor? Was It not also providential that five of the delegates to that convention were men who furnish supplies for the construc tion of county buildings? They Were as sisted by the men who furnish supplies of all kinds to the county to the sum of SSI.IW). they being either represented In person or by clerks on the floor of the con vention. Is It fair to the people of this county to have the men employed by them to receive the goods sold to the county nominated by the men who sold the goods? The. people demand that their conven tions be fair and above board, and will not submit to any carelessness or neglect ln the management of county affairs. B. Judge Maguire's Middle Name To tho Editor of the Los Angeles Herald: Driven to desperate straits and thrown Into cold shivers by premonitory symptoms of overwhelming defeat In November fcr the Gige ticket, some of the most un scrupulous Republican editors In the state havo for months been trying to make capi tal against Judge Magulre by printing his name as "James Gallagher Magulre," as If that were really his name. The paper that started this contemptible little scheme is the San Francisco Chronicle. For many months, beginning early last winter, that nLdel plutocratic daily made'lt/a point to print something mean about Judge Ma gulre, and always had the name appear as "James Gallagher Maguire." Sub editors and reporters in the establishment were Instructed to ring ln the word "Gal lagher" whenever they used Maguire's name and to use It early and often. Now, it Is a matter of no real consequence to the public what Judge Maguire's mid dle namo Is ot Is not. Were It Gallagher or Gilbooley or anything else other than what It Is Mr. Magulre would be Just as good a man as he Is known to be with the real name given him at his birth by his parents. He was b:rn In Boston, Mass.. on tho 22d day of February, ISj3. In tbe matter of naming their child the pmronts hud dif ferent preferences. The father was ln favor of naming him George Washington, In honor of tbe birthday anniversary of the father cf his country. The mother, however, was very partial to the name James, which was the name of her father. Neither parent cared to load the child down with three names besides Maguire. and so they compromised by giving the mine of James George Magulre to their little) boy. That Is and always' was! his true ar.d full name. As this statement of facts explodes the Chronicle's Gallagher fake, it will now be In order to follow the example of that other great metropolitan Journal, the Pasadena News, which months ago fell Into the habit of spelling the name of our next governor "McGulre." Either that or some other petty trick that harmonizes with the campaign methods oil a political party that champions monopoly and depends upon deception and boodle for success. RALPH HOYT. Los Angeles, Sept. 29. IS9S. LOS ANGELES CITY AND COUNTY Chamber of Commerce Issues a New Pamphlet The chamber of commerce has recently published a new Illustrated pamphlet for special distribution, entitled "Los An geles City and County." A leaf from the chapter under the head of "A Glance at the Future" will give a good Idea erf Its gen eral contents and its value In making the advantages and resources of this locality known. It .c as follows: It may safely be asserted that the outlook for this city and county was never brighter than In these closing years of the cen tury. During the wild real estate boom of twelve years ago there were more excite ment and speculation, but less solid pros perity. At that time the future of this city and county was a matter for specula tion, even with many of our own citizens. Today there Is scarcely a man to be found here who does not believe that Los An geles Is destined to become one of the great cities of the United States, an Im portance which will be shared, in a lessser degree, by the outlying cities and towns of tho county. Among the varied resources of Southern California, the citrus fruit crop alone has come an Important feature. It Is esti mated that the citrus fruit crop of the sea son which Is Just coming to a close was worth $11,000,000 at the point of distribution, of which more than half was distributed in Southern California. Add to this the large Income from other fruits —such as prunes, apricots, peaches, olives, walnuts, pears, apples, raisin grapes and berries, also from beet sugar, dairy products, poultry, eggs, wine, brandy, wool, wheat, barley, corn and other products of smaller value—and It will be seen that farmers ln this section do not live entirely on climate. Then, again, there Is the large revenue derived from petroleum, which Is not only a source of revenue ln itself, huti is rapidly stimulating the manufacturing industry in this section. The gold-mining industry Is also being developed ln a most encouraging manner. The Improvement of the harbor of San Pedro by the United States government), to which reference has been made ln this pamphlet, will doubtless be followed by other important Improvements, such as a dry dock, ship building yards and coast fortifications. The opening up of oriental trade will bring a heavy ocean commerce to San Pedro, the port of Los Angeles. Well supplied as this section Is at pres ent with railroad facilities, several other lines of vast Importance are about to be constructed, Including tihe extension of the Valley road from Bakersfleld to Los An geles, the continuation of the Carson and Colorado railroad from Keeler to a junc tion with the Southern Paclflo and Santa Fe systems at Mojave, and the building of a road from Mllford to Los Angeles, which will place this city ln direct communication with Salt Lake, giving us the choice of four transcontinental lines. The faith felt by outsiders In the future of Los Angeles has recently been shown hy the Investment of nearly $4,000,000 of San Francisco capital in our principal street railway system. The purchasers express their Intention of expending $1,000,000 in Im provements. In view of these encouraging prospects, and of many others which space forbids mentioning here, it would be a bold man who should attempt bo set a bound to the growth of Los Angeles city and county during the next few years.
