Leonard Forster, stepson of Judge Pierce of the West End, has been committed to the state school at Whittier for incorrigibility. The lad is 15 years of age and goes up for the period of his minority. The boy is to be pitied. He will come in contact over there with hardened young criminals of immoral and vicious habits. The system there is wrong—the good, bad and indifferent boys are grouped together, irrespective of their former home life. A boy of good parentage, who may have temporarily strayed from the straight and narrow path, and who is sent to that school, can acquire more bad habits and viciousness in a month than he would forget in a lifetime. Parents make a serious mistake when they have their children committed to a reformatory. It is computed by experts that only about five per cent of the young men are ever reformed. Mr. Nemetz feels that in the multiplicity of surveys for new sidewalks he has cause for substantial grievance against the city. Two years ago he voluntarily deeded to the city a strip 18 feet wide in front of his Center street property, running from Olive street east a distance of 220 feet. In consideration thereof the city agreed to lay down a gravel walk. Now he finds the city has run the sidewalk line a foot inside the deeded strip, taking nineteen feet from him, and on Chartres street he finds the sidewalk line encroaches three and a half feet upon his property. Cement sidewalks have been laid and to make matters worse the contractor has levied tribute upon Nemetz to the amount of $210. At the recent meeting of the council Nemetz laid his case before that honorable committee, saying he had paid the contractor $105, and requesting the board, in consideration of his deeding the city all land Mesdames Seeger and Barman Angeles, who are visiting at their home on Orangethorpe are entertained a social club from the glic burg at cards one day reaThe boys on the ranch hooked baywagon to transport the city their destination and the novel provokative of much merriment enjoyable time was had at them and all were entertained royally O.

At the recent meeting of the council Nemetz laid his case before that honorable committee, saying he had paid the contractor $105, and requesting the board, in consideration of his deeding the city all land claimed for sidewalks, pay the balance. The board pigeon-holed the matter in committee, and Nemetz considers he has a large-sized kick coming. A question has arisen in several counties concerning the exemption of personal property of a householder from taxation. A constitutional amendment was adopted last fall providing that personal property of every householder, to the amount of $100 shall be exempt from taxation, such articles to be selected by such householder. The assessors are now in the field and in several places have been confronted with the question whether this exemption can be applied to any personal property of the householder, or whether it must be applied only to household goods, or such as are particularly used by the person in his or her capacity as a householder. In Riverside and San Diego counties assessors have sought the advice of district attorneys and received opposite views on the question. The Riverside district attorney holds that a householder may select for exemption any articles of personal property, whether they belong to his household or not, while the San Diego legal advisor tells his assessor to exempt nothing but household goods.

Conrad appeared in Justice Howard's court Monday morning and admitted his guilt as a dispenser of liquor without a license. His case was set for 2 o'clock, at which time he failed to show up and his bail of $100 was declared forfeited to the city. Conrad was shrewd enough to save himself from a conviction, in which case his fine would have been $200 as well as three month imprisonment. In his interview with Judge Howard Conrad admitted his guilt, placing the fault, however, upon the city trustees, who, he said, had revoked his liquor license. He added that if Santa Ana goes wet at its election next month he would open a saloon in that town, providing he got a license. Judge Howard, in a heart to heart talk with the booze-fighter told Conrad he had no legal right to dispense liquors without first procuring a license so to do. Because others were violators of the law gave him no right to do so. The case was then set for 2 o'clock, at which time Conrad was not to be seen at any point on the horizon and his bail was confiscated by order of the court. City officers will watch Conrad to see that the laws of the community are respected. Inasmuch as it is the general opinion that he is up to his old tricks again, it is not too much to expect that he will be pinched again before long. The authorities are resolved to break up Conrad's blind pig.
