OIL LIMIT ORDINANCE
HOW OPERATORS EXPECT TO
PROVE ITS WEAKNESS
Matter May Come Before the Council
Today and Will Probably Get
Into the Courts-Eorecast

1t Is rather expected that the city coun-
ell will be asked to take some new action
at their regular weekly session today rela-
tive to the restriction of oil operators. 1t
Is understood that the movement
heretofore announced to test the 1900 feet
limit ordinance Is now actually under way,
having been launched on Saturday. The
preliminaries to the test are taken by the
operators who are interested In the devel-
opment of the Knob Hill tract field and 1t is
said that the construction Of a derrick well
within the 1900 feet limit has actually been
begun.
The point wherein the ordinance is al
legged to be weak Is In the arbitrary line
1t describes without reference to the abuses
II proposes to prevent. In other words, the
ordinance announces that 1t is for the pur-
pose Of protecting the parks and park
lakes from the oily and filthy
drainage that would flow in and
upon them were oil wells drilled
IN certain locations; then in Its provisions
It prohibits the drilling Of wells within
a common radius Of 1900 feet from the
grounds to be protected. The operators al
lege that this radius takes in much terri
tory which does not drain toward, into
or upon the parks and that the inclusion
OF such territory Is not essential to the
prevention Of the evils to which the cap
tion alludes.
For these reasons they will drill a we'll
on ground within the 1900 feet limit but a
part which drains away from the park,
and will then claim that the declared in
tentions Of the ordinance have not been
Violated. The prevailing opinion. even
among those who want to see the ordi-
nance sustained, Is that the operators
claim will hold good in the courts. Resi-
dents of the Westlake park district are
therefore making preparations to take up
the fight on some new line 1t is possible
the law as to nuisances may be invoked. or
II the circumstances be such as to support
It, the courts may he asked to issue a re-
straining order against the operators to
prevent them from drilling well where
the contaminated drainage would fiow on
residence premises. 1t is not improba BILE.
however, that council may be appealed to
for come new action.
The matter Of advertising for engine
house sites for the fire department will also
come before the council today and imme-
diate action will probably be urged by the
fire board committee. The duty Of fixing
upon the locations will be placed upon
committee composed of members Of the
council and members Of the fire commits
sion acting Jointly. The matter of combi-
nation fire and police stations will also be
considered.
The quarterly reports Of the various city
departments and the usual Improvement
petitions and protests will be up Tor con-
sideration, and 1t is probable the board OF
public works will make some kind OF re-
port on the matter Of the Los Angeles
Soap companys factory and the charge
that II Is q nuisance.

The benefits Of these Bitters are lasting and

What might properly be called the OPEN
Ing of the winter season at. Westlake park
took place yesterday afternoon when the
Seventh regiment band rendered a highly
pleasing program OF the latest selections
and popular songs. As this organization
was the one which first made the park a
popular Sunday resort, the previous an
nouncement OF its return was sufficient to
attract an unusually large crowd yester-
day and the band was practically given an
ovation. Encores were frequent and while
the regular program included only nine
numbers, no less than fifteen were rem
dered-
The band will hold forth at the park each
pleasant Sunday In future.
