PASSED AT LAST
After Much Wrangling an Anti
Hitching Ordinance Is Adopted

The anti-hitching ordinance has been
adopted. After discussing the matter
several times during the day and hold
ing special committee meeting at noon
at which all the members attended, the
council late yesterday afternoon dis
posed of the matter in manner which
they believed would be most satisfac-
tory to all concerned. 1t is not exactly
what the Merchants and Manufacturers
association desired, nor is it just what
the hackmen and others who own public
vehicles wanted, but the council at
tempted to pass a compromise measure
which would include most of the views
of both sides. The result was the pas
sage of the following ordinance:
An ordinance regulating the standing
of horses, mules and vehicles upon the
public streets of the city of Los Angeles
within certain limits and prescribing a
penalty for its violation.
The mayor and council of the city of
Los Angeles do ordain as follows:

with instructions to report at the next
meeting of the council.
The fight for the contract Is really
fight of the several representatives of the
eastern hose makers against the only
hose factory in the state, that of the
Bowers Rubber company of San Fran
cisco, who are behind the bid made by
Harper, Reynolds & Co. Hardly had
the council referred the bids than the
other agents went to work to prepare
for the fight on the matter before the fire
commission. One of them went to the
Office Of the chief of the fire department,
and in a general discussion of the mat
ter displayed telegram from Spokane,
WASH, which stated that Victor jacket
hose had been offered there in lots OF 300
feet delivered at rs cents per foot. The
man who made this assertion and dis
played the telegram is Mr.. Chapman,
representative of the Boston company,
which makes the Bay State brand. He
will show the telegram to the commits
sioners and try to prove that this hose
Is sold at a lower price out of the state
than here.
AS soon as Mr.. Bowers, who is here in
the interest of his company and to try to
place the Victor jacket brand with the
fire department, learned of the telegram
he stated that while the information
contained in it might be true. such an
offer was not authorized by the company.
and that he had made the bid at Spokane
so cents. He got even with the Bay
State man by asserting that his brand
of hose had been recently sold in Kan
sas City through Chief Hale there at 81
cents per foot, while the bid here was so
cents. Both men will go before the COM
mission prepared to prove their asser-
ton, and just what the other agents will
advance remains to be seem If the COM
mission finds that all the S0cent hose Is
equal in quality they are obliged. under
the law to give the contract to the San
Francisco company.
