REFORM In SAN BERNARDINO

The socalled reform sweep" in San Bernardino as
a result of Mondays municipal election would not be
accounted of much Importance in most of the other
Southern California cities 1t simply puts San Bernar
dino on level with Los Angeles in the matter of liquor
selling which the hinge which the election
turned
The result, reported yesterday in The Herald
"means victory for the reform element of the city
Over the liquor interests" The victory however only
relates to the closing of saloons Sunday at mid
night on other days. Gambling saloons also are to be
suppressed but Los Angeles experience does augur
especially we'll for results in that direction.
But the San Bernardno election noticeable as
an example of what community may do in spite of
political leaders when it takes matters in hand with
determination. It nonpartisan ticket that was
elected, made up and supported, presumably, by the
elements of the ctys population. The ticket was
elected by large majority, Notwithstanding the stren-
GUS efforts of the opposition and the zeal manifested on
both sides may imagined from the fact that the vote
was the largest in the citys history.
San Bernardino will remain wet" city, but It will
not be wide open" every day Of the year and prae.

in San Bernardino Even now there may be question
whether the lid be kept the saloons on Sunday

NEW 0UTFALL SEWER
Trust Company Seeks to Enjoin the
City, Alleging Land Is
Damaued


Suit was filed in the superior court
yesterday by the Union Trust company
against the city of Los Angeles, the
purpose of which is to restrain the lat
ter from laying its outfall sewer pipes
across the company's property.
The complaint alleges that the plainT
tiff is the owner of the West Park
tract, the value of which is estimated
to be about 100000,
1t is asserted that the city's pipes
are now being laid along the westerly

OF the pipes will be emptied into
trenches on the trust company's prop
ertY.
The bank says the noxious fumes
which are likely to arise will greatly
depreciate the value Of the property.
A temporary injunction against the
city was granted by the court, pend
ing the hearing Of the case.

NEW LINE FROM M0NETA
AVENUE TO MAIN STREET
Franchise for Road on Fifty-Thrd
Street Gives an Outlet for the
Moneta Avenue Line

The recording of the map of sub
division of The Mccarthy Company's
Main Street, Moneta Avenue and Fig
ueroa Street tract discloses the reason
for the latter companys many pur-
chases of large tracts in that part Of
the city by showing the right of way
given to the Los Angeles Railroad COM
pany through the principal part of its
property, across Fifty-third street from
South Main street to Moneta avenue.
1t has been given out that with this
last and most needed link of franchise
finally obtained, the Moneta avenue
line will be Immediately built, making
a direct run over Main street to point
a few blocks west of Jefferson tract.
thence over Moneta avenue. which is
in reality direct extension of Main
street to Slauson avenue and the city
line, with a cross line over Fifty-third
street from Moneta avenue to the COM
pany's new car barns; this cross line
connecting at Fifty-third street, one
block east of Main street, with the
present Maple avenue line.
The rumor would not down that the
McCarthys were interested with the
Huntingtons in the big movement OF
property in this vicinity and giving of
this franchise over the principal part
of the Mccarthy lands seems to clinch
the rumors to a certainty. When in
terviewed about the matter Mr.. e.
Avery Mccarthy was non-committal,
but there were indications that he had
more information than he cared to re-
veal, and frequent visits to the big
building at Sixth and Main streets
would naturally lead to the supposition
that there was something doing"
The necessary proceedings for Mo-
meta avenue street work, widening and
completing, are being rushed and every
indication points to speedy compile
ton and running of the new line.

THE GET TOGETHER" PLAN

triangular game of cross-purposes is in progress
which threatens grave injury to the cys interests The
three factors in the game the mayor the city
ell and the electric transit companies The Herad's
local columns keeping we'll informed
ing the progress Of the threeconered difficulty and the
points issue will not be discussed here at present
IL is the folly Of this crosspurpose proceeding and
its manifest injury to all interests that The Herald
adverts to now.
A thoughtful consideration of the subject carries
conviction that the railway officials and the city officials
should get together and adjust all differences amicaby
on the basis Of Justice and right
Levelheaded business men usually have no difficulty
in bridging a disagreement without jeopardizng their
individual interests Considerate treatment all sides
of the triangular rupture over transit service should
lead to a settlement on a satisfactory basis.
1t strange that the transit companies feel net
tied at what seems to them like deliberate attempt
to crowd them to the wall Knowing that the splendid
transit service has been chief element in the upbud
ing of Los Angeles they naturally feel that it is unfair
for the city to impose what they regard as unreasonable
exactions. Mr. Huntington who is the head and front
of the several railway companies has particular cause
for feeling that he is not being treated by the city in
accordance with the precepts of the golden rule.
The many millions of dollars that Mr. Huntington
and his associates have invested in and about Los
Angeles constitute substantial part of the citys
wealth is in the business blocks of the leading
tkoroughfares Any antagonstic of the city
against the local railway system is necessarily as
wise, therefore, as would be such movement against
the mercantile class
1t is particularly bad judgment from business stand
point for city authorities to impose unnecessarily
conditions upon the railway companies The law must
be enforced against all volators of it, whether
individuals or corporations. But in the operation
of enforcing the law consderate treatment should be
accorded largest of capital in the making
of Los Angeles.
Until recently there has been serious hitch
in the official relations of Los Angeles with the local
railway companies The interests Of the companies and
of the city so closely inertwned that they cannot
be separated Each interest is directly dependent
the other, quarrel between them is inexcusabe.
The exercise of little plain each
side should end the friction between the city officials
and the railway managers and both to pull to-
gether again for the sake of all present interests and of
the future of Los Angeles.
