MEETING OF CITY TRUSTEES NEW SCHEDULE OF RATES FOR ELECTRIC POWER Plans Agreed upon for Widening West Broadway — Other Street Improvements Under Way — New Ordinance Adopted — Other Routine Business New rates for the use of electric power from the city's plant were adopted by the trustees at their regular meeting Thursday night. The new schedule was recommended by Engineer Lewis after careful consideration and investigation of various plans for equalizing the rates charged to those who make use of the power only occasionally or in small quantity, and those who require it regularly or in larger amounts. The minimum rate of one dollar will be charged for motors of one horse-power or less capacity using ten kilowatts or less per month. For motors of higher capacity the minimum rate will be fifty cents per month for each additional h. p. capacity. All consumers will pay uniformly ten cents for each kilowatt used up to ten; five cents per kilowatt above ten to forty; three cents per kilowatt above forty to 800; and for any quantity above 800, two and one half cents per kilowatt. The new rates go into effect immediately. A plan to encourage the use of electricity in residences for heating, cooking, ironing and in various other ways, suggested by Engineer Lewis, was approved by the board. Demonstrations will be given publicly to clerk was instructed to comply with the water company, care attention to the matter and that the needed change be made paratory to proposed streets in that locality.

It is serv A plan to encourage the use of electricity in residences for heating, cooking, ironing and in various other ways, suggested by Engineer Lewis, was approved by the board. Demonstrations will be given publicly to show the convenience and economy of such use of the city's power, and to attract the attention of those who have not considered the matter herefore. A resolution was adopted instructing the city engineer to prepare the necessary data and plans for completing the alley north of Center street between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, and this improvement, long deferred, is to be proceeded with at once. In the matter of the proposed alley south of Center from Los Angeles to Lemon streets, a letter from Mrs. Dreyfus of San Francisco was read protesting against the plan for an alley nine feet in width and declining to donate land from her lots for such purpose. She proposed, however, to join with other owners in opening a street through the property. J. F. Ahlborn appeared in behalf of Mrs. Dreyfus, and at her request the matter was continued in order that other owners may be consulted in regard to the plan for a wider thoroughfare. Rev. A. B. Markle appeared before the board to protest in behalf of himself and others against steps already taken and further action proposed for condemnation of a strip from their property to widen West Broadway. He offered a donation of land on the same conditions under which it was given by his neighbor on the opposite side of the street, provided he be relieved from obligation for expenses already incurred by the city, and made a similar offer in behalf of Judge Pierce and Mrs. Boney. The compromise was accepted. The city marshal was instructed to notify parties responsible for obtenge to forty; three cents per kilowatt above forty to 800; and for any quantity above 800, two and one half cents per kilowatt. The new rates go into effect immediately.

Delicious Rhubarb Pie.—Put He offered a donation of land on the same conditions under which it was given by his neighbor on the opposite side of the street, provided he be relieved from obligation for expenses already incurred by the city, and made a similar offer in behalf of Judge Pierce and Mrs. Boney. The compromise was accepted. The city marshal was instructed to notify parties responsible for obstruction of a thoroughfare in the Olive-street tract to open the same for public travel, complaint in the matter having been made by residents of that section. Protests against the proposed paving of Los Angeles and Center streets were received from owners of a portion of the frontage involved, and filed for future action. Permission was granted to Dr. W. S. McFarlane for the erection of a blacksmith shop on South Lemon street, walls to be of brick and roof of galvanized iron. An ordinance establishing grades for certain streets had its final reading and was adopted. For the construction of cement walk and curb on South Los Angeles street, bids were received from C. Schindler of this city and John T. Ford, a Los Angeles contractor. The latter offered a little lower figure than the local bidder, but on account of a slight irregularity in the bid, action was postponed to the next meeting. Trustee Fiscus reported that a pipe line crossing Los Angeles at Broad street is above grade and should be lowered about 18 inches to provide for proper drainage. The Delicious Rhubarb Pie.—Put of cut rhubarb into a granite pan with a half teacup of stew till tender, mash and add teacup of white sugar, the juice the grated peel of one lemon and well beaten yolks of two eggs all well together and put into pie pan with lower crust; bake done, then spread the top with whites of the two eggs beaten with two tablespoons of powder garlic; set back in the oven till meringue is lightly browned; cold.

A FREE BREAKFAST TABLE SUGAR AND COFFEE AND THE TARIFF BILL Close Margin Between Producer and Consumer of Sugar—Large Profits of the Coffee Importers—An Issue Which Some Newspapers Sidestep A New Orleans newspaper, published right in the heart of the cane sugar industry in Louisiana, says: "The country as a whole has always favored a free breakfast table. Consumers are accustomed to the sugar tax by long usage, but they would be certain to rebel against a tax of 4 or 5 cents a pound on coffee. In no country in the world is coffee so extensively used by the masses as in the United States, hence nowhere else would a tax on the article be more severely felt and prove more unpopular." The assertion that sugar is taxed two cents a pound is so ridiculous that it is astounding that any newspaper in a sugar producing state should make such a statement. Less than 52 per cent of the sugar product paid full tariff dues last year. In fact, of the 3,185,789 tons of sugar consumed in this country last year, only 684,625 tons paid the full duty imposed by the Dingley law. The people in this country are able to buy their granulated sugar at an average retail price of less than six cents a pound. Right in this market retail dealers sell 18 and 20 pounds of granulated sugar at one dollar.

Right inthis market retail dealers sell 18 and20 pounds of granulated sugar at one dollar. When the wholesale price inNew York is quoted at 4.50 cents apound it will be observed there is amargin of less than two cents apound between the wholesale andretail price. There is scarcely a commodity of common use that ishandled on such a small margin of difference between the wholesale andretail price. How is it with coffee? There isno duty on coffee whatever. No"tariff tax," as the free traders liketo state it. The average cost ofcoffee laid down to the wholesalerin New York the last ten years hasranged from eight to ten cents apound. The average retail price—the costto the consumer—of coffee the lastten years has not been below 25cents a pound. Here is an article of common useat the breakfast table of the commonpeople as well as the wealthyonwhich there is no tariff, with a diffeance at the lowest of fifteen centsa pound in price between the wholesaleand retail price, while sugarnot only pays a tariff tax but thedifference between the wholesale andretail price is less than two centsa pound. Why don't newspapers kick overthe extortion of the coffee importer? Because the tariff is a politicalissue and sugar pays a tariff duty whilecoffee is on the free list. The same line of reasoning appliesto tea... The average price of tea laid downin New York is less than 12 cents apound, and there is a differenceof 40 to 50 cents a pound betweenthe retail and wholesalers. The importer, wholesaler andretail dealer absorb the profit.
