COUNCIL TO ACTON FRANCHISES

ORDINANCES TO BE REPORTEDTHIS AFTERNOON

Mayor Will Send Veto Messages toCity Lawmakers on Fifth Street

and Voting Machine

Measures

From the building inspector's depart-ment revised ordinances willbe pre-sented bearing on the safety of thepublic in theaters, churches and halls.All theaters have now complied withthe instructions from Inspector Backusand the churches have been notified todo away withall portable seats in theaisles.

Representatives of the Municipalleague and reform organizations willbe on hand to hear the discussion.

City Attorney Leslie Hewitt will re-port on the subway and tunnel ordi-nances, It is expected, and also on thelegality of insisting on a 25-cent roundtrip rale to the beaches. It Is under-stood that the city counselor willholdthat the city has a right to specify therates of fare. The compensation fea-ture in the franchise ordinances, how-ever, will be left blank and a livelydebate may arise in the council as aresult.

Much business confronts the citycouncil for its meeting today as Itsdays are numbered. Certain interestswant legislation passed, while otherswant legislation suppressed.

Veto messages are to be sent in fromthe mayor, one referring to the ordi-nance granting free to the SouthernPacific a strip of land on Kast Fifthfrom Central avenue to the Arcade de-pot. Another objectionable ordinancewhich will be returned applies to thevoting machine measure which, by asystem of claims under $500, avoidingcharter provisions, enables the votingmachine interests to get a larger sumthan the mayor deems just.

SOCIETY CALENDARFOR THIS WEEK

Tins plan has been adopted by manyof ihe eastern iItli\u25a0\u25a0 and ban i n foundto work splendidly, Prominent bust-

iare mi ways th" dinsui ii a < ommlMlon, bui for the prac-tical questions for examinations it hasbeen found that those questiona madeout by formi r policemen or Bremen ai-waya meet the requirements,

Rornntly Los Angeled mithnrltlna In-creased the number of police officersand men were advertised for, a num*

ponded s nd look the <-xamlna-iloiip, and Home passed. Others didnot, iihas i n stated that on one re*cent occasion one of the questions putto th<» prospective officers wan: "Whatis onfl'Blxteenth of an crest?" Tin»m, prolmbly thinking some technicalterm of the department was Implied,stai<,i that they did hot know. Thereis no sm h term in the police depart-ment! according to police officials,

it is sniii, however, that the commis-sioners do not mnko out the questions,but govern tho oxnrninntlonn while sec-retaries and derkS attend to thn givingof questions.

Botany Not Needed"A good fireman on the commission!

who understands just exactly what thegreen fireman would have to do In apinch, would be a proper person to ex-amine firemen," said George Conartyesterday. Conart is one of the bestknown examiners on commissions inthn west.

"When a fireman meets tlio hardquestions in a fire it does not takearithmetic, nor algebra, nor botany totell him what to do. It takes thn nerveof a brave man and a great slice ofRood hard common sense. It Is allriKlit for a fireman to be educated, andmany of the boys are well educated.That Will servo them when they risehigh up In the ranks, but for the be-ginners it Is the praeticnl work thatcounts. A hoseman must be given adifferent examination from B man whois to work with the engine, the lieuten-ant or captain a different set of ques-tions from hoseman or chief.

"Itis the same way with a police of-ficer. A well educated officer is allright, but if a man has a pretty goodeducation it is ten to one he is goingto look about for a sreat deal betterposition with less work attached to it.

Astronomy Useless"As a result, the ordinary policeman

must bo able to take charge of a des-perate prisoner, which does not requirea wonderful amount of study; must becivil iind courteous, and he able to keepcool when everybody else is excited.As a result, practical questions are thekind for a candidate for that position.An officer has a copy of the cltiy ordi-nances withhim. If he sees a violationhe has to make an arrest. It does notrequire a long course in astronomy toassure him that he ought to make thatarrest, anr) brains are not needed whena man steps up and takes charge of aprisoner. If the prisoner fights, thenall the examinations in the world wouldnot fit a man for the emergency unlesshe was muscular, quick and active. Asa result, many of the boys fail to passthe examination, when they mightmake the best kind of officers,

"When an officer has shown his effi-ciency and has a good Idea of prac-tical work, then an education wouldcome in handy in trying for the detect-ives' department, but the ordinary pa-trolman needs a- cool head, a courteousmanner, a hard fist and cheerful dis-position, and that Is about all."

At present Randolph Miner, a miningengineer; Dr. J. R. Haynes, physician,and Fred Thomas, A. B. McCutcheonand MiltonK. Young, attorneys, com-pose the commission. Itis proposed toadd two men to the list, two men whohave had practical experience, andmany prominent men have been enlistedin the cause.

Owing to the fad that because ofcivil iervlen examination* the city hasbeen unable to secure the number ofpolice "iii'i required, an effort i•< be-ing made by many butlneM men ofLos Anßelea to secure the appointmentof two extra, members to' the board, oneto be a former police, officer, eitherchief, lieutenant! captain or sergeant,and the other a former fireman.

Business Meri Believe Practical MenShould Be Placed on Commie.
