of Five to Four-General City
Hall Matters

After next week hackmen and express
men win again be allowed to ply their bus
mess in the usual form on all the streets
in Los Angeles. They will not be allowed
to keep their vehicles standing In one place
more than twenty minutes and will be
held strictly accountable for any violation;
hut, according to their own assurances,
they do not propose to take advantage OF
council and will not only obey the technical
provisions of the twenty-minute orfi-
nance but also the intention OF 1t. ms
means that they will not stand hack in
one spot twenty minutes and then try 10
evade the intention Of the ordinance by
moving only ten or fifteen feet.
If they remember this promise all Will
be we'll If they do not it Is possible they
will soon find themselves in the same pre-
dicament again.
Attorney Oliver called the matter up
before council yesterday and asked that
some action be taken A warm discussion
followed, in which Messrs. Nickel, Tcf
Ashman, Hutchinson and President SilN.r
participated. Mr.. Nickel expressed him
self In favor of giving the hackmen the
same privileges as are accorded Others but
no more. Mr.. Toll made two lengthy
speeches on the subject and was unequi-
vocally In favor of allowing the ordinance
to remain just as 1t is. Hutchinson and
Ashman both spoke in favor of granting
the hackmens petition President Silver
came out flat-footed against the petition
He said that some of the petitioners had
openly charged council with holding off
action in the matter through pit re spite and
that threats of political revenge had been
made.
IT am not here to play politics" said the
president. land stand openly and posi-
lively opposed to repeating the ordinance
or any part of it,"
When the vote was taken 1t was on the
motion that the petition be granted, and
the negative votes We're from Baker, Ma
thuss, Toll and Silver. It should not he
understood that any actual change has
yet been consummated. A new ordinance
carrying with it the twenty minuteAfeature
but eliminating the section which kept
hackmen from standing on certain streets
at all, will be prepared and probably passed
at next meeting. Until that time the old
ordinance is in force.
