A LEGAL OPINION.
Delivered Before the Cit y Council by
City Attorney Sam NJ. Green.

D~eilVereu BEFORE n City council by
City Attorney Sam NJ. Green.
At the City Council meeting Monday
night City Attorney Sam NJ. Green de-
livered an opinion regarding the petit
ton of independence street property
owners who asked the Council to re-
lieve them of the tax assessed against
them for curbing set on hat street.
Mr.. Green stated that the Council had
no power to grant the prayer of the
petitioners. and to back his opinion he
read the law on the subject which is
very plain. After hearing the opinion
of the City Attorney and hearing the
law read the petition of the property
owners was laid on the table.
The opinion of the City Attorney
was no surprise to a majority of the
members of the Council. When the city
became a city of the third class the
Council proceeded to pass an ordi-
nance defining. in accordance with the
State law. how street improvements
should be made, and the passage of
this ordinance wiped out all old ordi-
nances conflicting Herewith. There
was curbing set on Sprigg and Merri-
wether streets after the passage of this
ordinance at the expense of the city,
but they were set in violation of the
law.

George Vine Is the Name Of the Boy and He
Is Indifferent as to His Punish-
ment-tiis Story
George Vine, a 14-year-old youngster
confined in the county Jail on a charge OF
grand larceny, is about one of the most
inconceivable prisoners that has been
there for some months. He seems to be
just naturally bad for the pleasure there
is in it, and makes no excuse either for
his act.
He rented q Cleveland bicycle from a
man named Parker at Pomona and
started to enjoy lite by riding free and
untamed over the freshly sprinkled
streets of town. But unfortunately. in
Georges case, his money ran short before
his desire for a good time mad abated, so,
instead of returning the wheel at the end
of an hour as he had promised. he kept it
for two more DAYS. during which period
he endeavored to dispose Of it for 500.
Parker put the authorities after the
BOY. He was captured with the bicycle
in his possession and it was returned to
the owner. George was examined before
the local justice and held to answer in
the superior court to charge of grand
larceny.
He was seen at the jail yesterday by q
Herald reporter, and when asked why he
had kept the wheel replied: "Oh,
'cause" George said that he wanted to
get money with which to have some fun,
and chose the bicycle method of procur-
ing 1T. He had no idea of going way,
but simply wanted tv spend the money
The boy lived with his mother, who
supports herself and family by working
out. He admitted having a good home
and seemed to feel no regret over what he
had done, nor does he care whether they
send him to the reform school or not.
1t appears, however, that the charge
entered against the boy was greater than
warranted, for the value of the bicycle is
said to have been less than $50, which
would make the offense petty larceny.
At all events George will have an oppor-
tunlty to tell his story in the superior
court this week, when he will probably
be committed to Whittier.
