SELECTING A PARK
Commissioners Take a Trip Into the
Southeast Section
Accompanied by Mayor Snyder and Coun
cilman Grider, Messrs. Teed and Jones- o[
the park commission, with Superintendent
Carey and Secretary Mcmlcnliall, made a
trip of inspection to the proposed sites for
a pari! in the Sixth ward yesterday after
noon. Some weeks ago the council opened
bids fur a tract of land to be converted into
a park for tihe people of the southeast section
of the city. Seven oilers were reeclived. As
the bond issue to provide for securing the
park had l*en $10,000, there was a remarka
ble unanimity on the question of price, near
ly every bidder wanting the whole thing for
his land, whether it was ten, fifteen or twen
ty acres. The bids were referred IV) the pal k
commission for a recommendation of accept
ance, and it was for the purpose ol viewing
the land and coining to sonic agreement t hat
the trip of yesterday waa made.
Tile first stop was made at the junction
of San Pedro street, Stanley avenue and
Jefferson street, where a triamgulaT piece of
larvl of some twelve acres is ottered hy .Mr.
Bailey. This property lies advantageously
and seemed to be favorably considered by
the board. Driving down Stanley avenue a
short distance the fifteen-acre property of
fered by Paillett is reached. This is
a long, narrow strip on the south Hide of
the street, not running clear through to ttie
next street. Close by is a twenty-acre piece
offered by Boetbcher.
On McKinley avenue, north of tlhe other
offers, is a twenty-acre lot offerer) by Dan
McKinley at the same price asi all the rest —
$10,000. Two other offers, of nUMtfta Mfd a
half acres and tern acres, by Messrs. Marlz
and White are situated in this locality. Com
ing nut on to Central avenue, a beautiful spot
is pound to have besn offered in the old
Central park, a piece of eight nnd a half
acres, with many improvements already
made, coexisting of orange, pepper, palm and
othnr trees, shrubs, etc. The great draw
back to the acceptance of this piece, how
ever, was abated to be the fact that the title
to the property is already claimed to be
vested in the city and is beina contested in
the l courts. The price asked is extremely
low, $4500, being the only bid below the
limit.
Some years ago. before that section was
embracer! within the city limits, a tract wns
laid nut around this park and a map showing
the dedication of the land to the county was!
filed. The fact that the park was donated
and had been ncccpticd as a pleasure ground
wns used to draw prospective purchasers of
lots. Now the right of the city to the park
is questioned and the mn'tter is in the
courts for adjudication, nt the same time it
is offered for sale to the municipality. On
the homeward drive the mntter wns inform
ally H'tscuSsvad, but no oet ; o-i will hp
(•.1,-, •■> upM the meeting of the board next
Thursday.
Finance Committee
An unimpnrtnit fission of the finance
committee was held yesterday mnrr"ng. thr
principal mntter coming up for di*cnjNr>n
betini the petition of a nnmher of the city
banks, askinrt that the monthly license im
posed upon them be repealed. The oity re
quires that uhe bankers pay a monthly li
cense of $2 upon every $1000 of capital. This
produce* a revenue of $285 per month, or
from $10 to $,")0 per bank, ln their petition
the protestants claim that they arc now
burdened with, a heavy war tax, amd that
while the private and state banks are com
pelled to pay a license, the national institu
tions are exempt. This, they claim, is un
just to them. Councilman Grider was in
favor of pasging a recommenudation granting
the petition, but Mr. Toll entered am objec
tion, calling attention to the revenue which
would by this action be cut off. As the ap
portionments for the present fiscal year have
already been made upon the haisis ot the
estimated income, such action would leave
a deficiency of swine $3500 to be m&rke up
from nome other source. It was finally de
cided to allow the mater to rest for another
week.
Auditor's Trial Balance
The weekly trial balance was cast yes
terday afternoon by City Auditor Nichols,
showing the condition of the various funds.
Most of them are on the right side of \ f
ledger, only the boiler permit and dog funds
being overdrawn, the former $409.90, and
the latter $361. Balances to the credit of
the following funds arc given: Cash, 116,
--468.98; salary, $4121.51; fire department,
$14,393.69; school, $29,595.95; library, $6120.
--23; new water, $97.30; general park, ,
$1605.20; East Los Angeles park, $674.61;
Westlake, $2407.68; Hollenbeck, $457.88;
Echo, $992.22; Elysian, $1495.04; park nur
sery, $533.02; street lighting, $9737.60; street
rprinkling, $9409.05; outfall sewer fund,
&1205.16; general sewer fund, $871.65; re
demption, $1092.72; police pension, $3752.87;
police reward and charity, $61.10; public
market, $148. The treasurer's balance is
$563,303.23.
Settlements Report
The visiting nurse of the Los Angeles
Settlements association, a charitable organi
zation which receives a monthly allowance
of $50 from the city, yesterday filed the
yearly report of the association for pre
sentation to the council, as is required of all
bodies receiving financial assistance.
The report covers the time from
March Ist to December 7th, 1898. A
total of 1708 visit was" made during this
period, and 162 sick persons attended. The
society works almost entirely in the slum
sections, "Dogtown," "Sonoratown," and
among the lower classes. Recommenda
tions' are made that sanitary regulations be
more strictly enforced in the sections noted
and attention is called to the necessity for
public baths. Of the $600 appropriation
from the city $150 remains, which the so
ciety desires to keep on hand as an emer
gency fund.
Oil Well Fight
Westlake property owners are gettirag
weary of the protiraeted fight over the en
croachments of the oil well industry on
their lands. It is probable that a petition
will be presented to the council an Monday
by a representative of a number of property
owners asking the council to amend the
ordinance so that the line about the north
boundary of tho park, instead of being 1600
feet distant, shall be fixed along the ridge
following Ocean View avenue, between t'or
onado street and Alvanido street.
City Hall Notes
Colonel Hine and Charles Parsons will
remain City Treasurer Hartwell's deputies.
Mr. Hartwell made the announcement Fri
day evening at the banquet given the can
didates by Mr. Rule.
In addition, to< his chief deputy, Walter
Mallard, already announced, City Assessor
elect Ben K. Ward has appointed the fol
lowing: W. J. A. Smith, Fred Duy, L. L.
Dennick, Dan J. Cooper, B. T. Tilden, T.
Masac, Ernest Ralphs.
Ernest Chapman will be office inspector
under Street Superintendent Drain. The
remaining appointment in this office is
not yet decided on.
There will undoubtedly be an election
called some time in the month of February
for tHe settlement of the proposed annexa
tion to the city of Garvanza and University
It will be necesyary to consider the proposi
tions on two successive days, for the law so
provides that the voter can not express him
self on both propositions on the same day.
The expense of these two special elections
will exceed $1000, and may run very much
above thnt figure.

HE WANTED A BONFIRE
The Juvenile Firebug, Pete McNeal, Denies Criminal
Intention—What the Neighbors Saw
Pete McNeal, the diminutive «rebug. was held to answer yesterday by Justice
Morrison to the charge of arson. The little tow-headed youngster was de
fended by H. J. Crawford, while Deputy •l u e&' J *
District Attorney Chambers conducted the /HfO' ,
prosecution. Miss Matilda Ward, whose I'/. ~~*\
shed at Pennsylvania and Cummings llf-H ffP^m^/rA VV
streets the boy Is alleged to have set on //// mfmk |(( I k vV\
fire, testified to the circumstancos of the /rrt |w(WrA\V v\> )\^y\\\
Are, and to the destruction of the building, // In U \, Ifi IYH 11
but she could not swear that the boy had 'l-AV\\ , \\> JJy If
actually set It on fire. The most material Tl f|l\T
testimony against the boy was given my fmstl 111 1 )
Mrs. Josle Gotenfelder, a neighbor of Miss ( t|w ■ y/fS^O'C I
Ward. Mrs. Outenfelder testified that 3m Tr \
Jshe saw Pete walk along the alley in the ' ftt ifoSJ Hr/
frear of Miss Ward's shed, and crawl par- 3 Hfl. flr- *•
'tlally through a fence. While ln this po- ■-j 1 frS&fe H iit Sy \
altlon, close to the shed, she saw him take -4imBKBB ■y's \
something from his pocket, strike a match J J \
and apply 11 to what he had taken from his yZ, i \
packet. She thought this was paper, ;. $ ' \
but could not swear to it. The boy went ; I N . >^
away almost Immediately after depositing - UhBMS n^^^tWP^l^S^^^HaX^^
this blazing mass against the side of the ? y
sheil. Mrs. Gutenfelder called to her hus- c - f ,
hand to hurry after the boy and bring him I /
Chris Gutenfelder ran down the al- Y'/)MMzvf^/ 11 IS' /
ley. anil ns soon ns he approached the ' n rW /
boy Fete ejaculatleid: "I dUdn't do It. mis- iiH\[imß\ WIW /
ter—l didn't do lt." Gutenfelder did not A/yUfP — All) *S
know of the fire, and could not understand dslMlr V
why the boy should have spoken In such a S&Zi&fsSr
suspicious way. He compelled the boy r
to give his name and address, and then al-
lowed him to go on to school. ™"
Police Officer George Williams, whoplaced the boy under arrest, stated th-it
Pete had made several statements regarding the lire. He lirst s.ild toe* had bee'B
smoking, nr.d the place had In some manner caught fire, and then later he told Wll-
V.ITT! that be h"d rt-ir !' a match and lighted tome papers, but that he had not In
tended to burn the shed down.
The youngster testified briefly, and said that he had not Intended to set fire to the
shed. He Is a quiet child, and frequently stopped during his evidence, apparently
from fr'ght and embarrassment over the crowd In the court room. He was held to
anpwcr In the sum of $500. His father was able to furnish the amourt during the
afternoon, and Master Peter was released. It has r.ot been determ.ned positively
what is to be done with the boy. He Is not though tto be aerimlr 01. His trouble is
said to be due to the result of a boyish desire to have a bonfire with paper, and not
to destroy the shed.

ANOTHER VICTORY
THE HIGH SCHOOL OUTPLAYS
OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE
A Collarbone Broken and a Listless
Game Thereafter—St. Vincent
Wins a Game
A small crowd found its way.tol Fiesta j
park yesterday morning and watched the
High School eleven defeat the-gladiators ol
Occidental college in a somewhat listless
game of football. The boys from the high
school opened up in their usual snappy style,
but their ardor cooled perecptiibly after Vani
Norman broke his collar borne. Occidental
played a loose game at the start, but soon
settled down amid put up a stubborn, up-hill
game. Hell, Cromwell and Oodron did good
work for the college, team in advancing the
ball and Salisbury played a strong defensive
game. Wynn put up his usual brilliant
game and was! well supported by Miuiday
ami Bosbyshell.
The high school won the toss and Occi
dental kicked off. Hell gained 35 yards on
the kick, but Bosbyshell carried the pigskin
back to the-center. Hard plunging into the
line, aided by several snappy end runs, car
ried the ball close to the Occidental line, and
Bosbyshell scored a touchdown. Wynn
missed the goal.
Another kick-off by Bell started the trou
ble aroew, but Van Norman broke his collar
bone in a scrimmage, and thereafter the mix
ups were not as lively as they had been.
In the second half Occidental's team made
a much better showing, but could not score.
Their opponents contented themselves with
playing almost entirely on the defensive, be
ing satisfied with the points already to their
credit. The teams lined up as lolows:
High School. Occidental.

lar rush exists in the registry department

ly waiting for the little slip of paper that
assures them of the safe tramsmission of the
precious packages to friends in. the east or

$5.000.000 ost on Horse Races
It Is stated that a man won and lost $5,
--000,000 on horse races. For twenty years
he kept at It. and most of the time he was
successful. At last fortune turned against
him, and today he is penniless. Gambling
Is a good deal like neglect of health. It
can lie kept up a long time, but in the end
lt is disastrous. Fortunes are harder to
restore than health. The first step toward
winning back lost health is to restore the
digestive organs to a normal condition.
For this purpose Hostetter's Stomach Bit

remedy Is a specific for indigestion, dys
