IT'S A CASE OF "ME, TOO"
Traction Company Wants the Same
Rights a. Others

1t looked very much as though the Los
Angeles Traction company was playing a
very pretty little policy game yesterday.
First they very pleasantly rendered their
check to the city street department for full
payment Of the cost Of the Third and Main
street culvert. an improvement they have
always declared they would neither make
nor pay for. Next. Attorney W. E. Arthur
went before the city council yesterday fore
noon and informed the city dads" that If
the company was granted an extension of
sixty days, from October to December /,
1t would proceed at once to have the viaduct
built over the Santa Fe railway tracks, and
would soon have its Boyle Heights extern
sion In operation. This was another pleas
ant surprise. and many were about begin
ming to believe that the company had been
cruelty misjudged, and that after all, It
knew how to be good.
That opinion had not become we'll seated.
however, when Judge Lamme appeared be-
fore the council with one Of his bland
est and most effervescent smiles. He had
q little request to present. He merely
wanted for the Traction company the priyi.
lege of running track down Fifth street
from Central avenue to the Arcade depot.
He had worded his request for the same in
just exactly the language used by the Los
Angeles Street Railway company in It's Pc
tition for the same privilege. and did not
see why the council should not act favorably
on It at once.
Councilman Nickel asked him II It had
not been the intention Of the Traction COM
pany to get to the depot By way OF a vacant
lot near Fifth street. The attorney am
swered n the Affirmative. but stated that

Two Small Fires

At 1850 o'clock yesterday morning an alarm
was turned in from box 239 for a fire in the
one-story dwelling of Mrs. Babcock, No.
573 North Soto street, Boyle Heights. The
engines were promptly on hand, and the
flames were eXtinguished, after loss of
about 5000, covered by insurance. The fire
was caused by an explosion of gasoline
stove.
At S:45 o'clock the department, was again
called out for fire in the Santa Fe yards
on the river front, just off First street. A
small barn. containing a lot of hay, adjoin-
ing the yards of the Cerrillos Coal COM
pany, was totally destroyed. The property
belonged to Gray Bros. & Ward, ornamental
brick manufacturers. Loss about $500. The
coal company's fence was also burned, and
a carload of coal standing on a sidetrack
also caught fire, but was pulled out of dan
ger before any damage was done. But for
the prompt action of the fire department the
loss would have been considerable, as there
are a number Of wooden structures In the
