MERRY OVER VICTORY
IMPRoMPTU CELEBRATION HELD
AT CITY HALL
Refusal of Application for Permit for
Mill Is Occasion for Joyous Demon
stration in the Mayors Office by
Citizens

Mayor McAleer and his board of fire
commissioners was the most popular
official family in the city hall yester-
day when that body refused to grant a
permit to A. II. DuvalI to conduct a
planning mill on the northwest corner
of Central avenue and Forty-eighth
street.
There were six women, six men and
two children present to object to hay
ing the quietude of their homes de-
spoiled by the racket of a planning mill
and when the board announced that
the permit was refused there was a
general rejoicing seldom seen in the
sedate precincts of the mayors Of
flee.
The women embraced each other, the
two children waltzed around the room
end the men shook hands indiscrimin-
ately. One woman exclaimed in tones
Of greatest relief, "It would have
ruined my home" Then with one ac-
cord they rushed for the mayor and
members of the commission and wrung
stacy.
Don't go off and get drunk" said
the mayor when the protestants jubi-
lantly pranced from the office.
Duvalrs application for a permit
had been hanging fire several weeks to
allow time for objections, and when
the protests began coming in there
were plenty of them. Two written OBJ
jections were filed with the board, one
bearing twenty-seven signatures and
the other held thirty-seven. Every
property owner in the block signed the
protests.

PREDICT HEAVY
FREIGHT TRAFFIC
RAILROADS HAVE BUSY SEASON
IN PROSPECT
Agents of Transcontlnental Lines Say
Imports Of Manufactured Goods
From East viii Be Un-
usually Heavy

According to the statements of local
freight agents of western railroads a
greater freight trade than ever before
in the history of the west will be car
ried on this year over the transconti7
mental lines and mammoth prepara-
tions are now being made for the
opening of the fall season this week.
The amount of building and con-
struction work of the past year is
said to be in a great measure re-
sponsible for the quantity of eastern
products which will be shipped here
during the winter.
Everything from consignments of
tacks and nails to huge steel girders
and iron road rails will be included in
the list of imports, while Los Angeles
county shippers are enjoying the pros
pect of an enormous fall and winter
citrus fruit crop.
I'VE will have a hard time handling
this freight, but we will be able to
take care Of it all in good shape" said
a local freight agent of a transconti-
mental line yesterday.
I'VE have been notified by nearly all
the large wholesale firms of Los An
geles that because of the drain on their
stock during the past year through
general improvements in the south
western country they will find it neces-
sary to carry large consignments of
eastern products
"Of course we are expected to take
good care of this stuff and when the
rush comes every one will want goods
on time and as result the freight
men have a season of hard work before
them.
"I have also received notice from
the Los Angeles fruit growers and
shippers that the orange and lemon
crops for the coming season will be
large.
"The first consignments of fruit to
be shipped east will be ready during
the early part of November"
