UP gl fig Ten Policemen in Plain Clothes Detailed to Job Of Watching Property The street department's cam paign against the promiscuous dumping of garbage was reinforced today by ten policemen in plain clothes, detailed to the job of watching property at night by Chief of. Police. James Drew, Street officials said they believed at first that hard times caused impecunious families to dump their garbage on vacant lots at night rather than pay the regular gar bage collectors to haul the stuff away, but of 23 persons arrested last week for dumping garbage Illicitly, several were members of prominent families and known to be well arile to pay the regular garhage fees. One was a high corporation official whose salary lias never ceased flowing into his pockets. "Perversity ns much as poverty is responsible for this illicit tossing of garbage into vacant lots." said Walter Cibson, superintendent plain to every intelligent person that garbage, dumped on vacant lots in every part of the city, constitutes a big health menace to the whole city, but some persons ap-parenly give no attention to their civic responsibility.

We are therefore forced to go after them in a big way." Cartuige Is also being constantly poured into the city's street corner rubbish cans, which were designed only for small papers and other casual stuff, usually collected by street sweepers. Street cleaners, street department workers and policemen were requested today to keep close watch over all refuse rans nnd vacant lots, and arrest all persons dumping garbage thereon.

It is contemplated to use not less than $500,000 for unemployment reftef on public works of the Bounty and on such public works of the cities within the county as are authorized by law.

Barrows said. 52,000 ARE CARED FOR The county's charitable institutions, operated under the Charities Commission, are caring for 52,000 citizens, while various Community Chest agencies in Oakland, Fled-mont, Berkeley, Kan Leandro and Eeryville are helping many thousands of others within the limit of their capacity. Dr. Barrows announced that It Is riot proposed to upend all of the money raised throuph the bond is-ue within the present fiscal year. "The Alameda County Charities Commission believes that It will be necessary, unless some unfor-geen calamity emerges In the near future, to spend not to exceed $1,500,000 before July 1, 1933.

$1,500,000 TO UK LEFT "This will leave $1. son, not) available for the next or future fiscal years, and the bonds will be sold only as required. "The bonds issues will be redeemed over period of III) years, bearing at five per rent. During the fir.t three years interest, only will be paid. "The redemption of these 'bonds will begrin in the fourth year and conLinue uiimi Liie ovi-niiin jnu.

The tax rate for each of the l'lrstf three years if nil of the bonds should be sold, will amount to three and one-half cents, while on tht; fourth year an additional four cents will be added per $100 assessed valuation. TAX BATE WILL DROP "The tax rate will then gradually decrease as the redemption of the bond proceeds. The three and one-half cent tax rate, which will prevail for the first three years, will add to the annual tax bill the sum of only 87' cents on the average home with an assessed valuation of $2500." he continued. "Hence, it is seen that the bonds will not be a burden of any nature to the people of Alameda, but thy will do much to alleviate suffering and confidence and work in this community." Thousands of citizens all over Alameda County are rallying to support of the bond Issue. Committees are being organized In all parts of the community, pledged to work for the passage of the bond issue at the election on December 20.

Roy Papworth and son, James, barely escaped in flight clothing. The house, was a two-story dwelling. Fire started in the kitchen and quickly spread to the rear, 'second and roof, A fast of hide and seek Is being played between Fred Henderson, of Long Beach, and the. old sailing barge Simla. Henderson, who had contracted with the.

government to raise the hulk from the bottom of the estuary, had apparently Avon thegrtme Last niht the Simla was lying keel up after leln brought from the bottom by means of compressed air. This morning the Simla had won the second round of the game. During the night when the tide wtent out the old craft turned back on her side and is now in the same position she occupied when Henderson started to clear her out of the channel two weeks ago. Henderson lost no time this morning in getting dredgers alongside, and starting his air compressor going again when ho found the trick the Sirnhr bad played on him. It is expected that the vessel will be brought back to the surface bottom up again late today on the high tide.

IN I AIRWAY The Simla has been lying in tne fairway in Brooklyn Basin, opposite the Ninth Avenue Terminal since The United States Army Engineers declared her a menace to navigation, and several attempts have been made to haul the old craft from its resting place but without, success. Henderson, who Is a diver by profession, decided that he could do the trick, and took the contract with Cncle Sam for $11,000. His own faith in his method of using compressed air in the hull, assisted by a series of unusually high tides? brought the Simla to the surface bottom up. late yesterday afternoon. Everything seemed set for the last cruise to Davy Jones' Iocker, when the Simla decided to change things.

Now the craft Is once more In the menace class and the work of salvage must be done nil over again. SOLD ron RAUCE The Simla, which was once a stately British sailing ship, was one of the well known windjammers on the J'acil'io Coast, operating in the barley trade between Port Costa and the British Isles. When It was no longer able to compete In that trade the craft was sold to be cut down into a barge. The Red Stack Towboat Company obtained the vessel and had her stationed at Manzunlllo, Mexico, for a long time as a station ship. In 11128 she was towed to San Francisco, placed in drydock and given a thorough overhauling.

She was towed to Oakland. In docking the craft, she sprung a leak and was towed to Cov ernment Island to preventVink-ing. A southwester oanie up and the Simla turned onto her blocking the fairway opposite the Ninth Avenue Terminal. Recent', the I'nited States Army Engineers ordered ihe ship cleared out and Henderson, who is a. diver by profession, took the, contract for THEORIES PROVED He planned to slop what ever leaks there were, fill the hulk with compressed air.

and then tow it tn a deep spot off Verba Iruena Island and sink it for all time. The raising of the hull, yesterday, proved Henderson's theories. The Simla will be towed trrff outer bay within a few days by the tugs of the Harbor Barge and Tug Company. The. American Dredging Company furnished the gear fiW1 raising the old era ft.
