INSURANCE TAX
MAY De LEVIED
ORDINANCE TO BE PRESENTED
MONDAY
PROVIDES FOR LICENSE FEE
Barney HeaIy Would Increase City
Revenue $4,000 Annually by Re-
quiring Foreign Companies
to Pay $50 Yearly
PROVIDES FOR LICENSE FEE

AS result of the numerous requests
life insurance companies, whose main
offices are outside Of the state, shall
be taxed more heavily than at present,
Councilman Barney Healy will present
a motion before the council Monday
asking for an ordinance providing for
a monthly tax of $50 on each company.
almost every branch of trade in
Los Angeles pays a monthly license
tax" said Councilman Healy yester-
day, but the life insurance companies
have been practically exempted 1
shall ask the council to instruct the
city attorney to prepare and present
the necessary ordinance, providing for
the payment of a monthly tax which
will be in proportion to the Importance
of that business"
At the present time there is quar-
terly tax of $5. A year ago an effort
was made to increase this amount, but
through what is said to have been
combination of the insurance agents,
the measure was defeated.
There are now eighteen companies
whose general offices are without the
state and which have agents In Los
Angeles. Should the measure meet
with the appreciation of the other coun-
cilmen and an ordinance is passed the
citys revenues would be increased by
over $4,000 annually.
Healy says several of the councilmen
are with him on the question and that
there is no desire to affect fraternal
or state societies.

MAY PLAN CLARK
LINE To ORIENT
RAILWAY OFFICIALS TO SAIL
FOR JAPAN
FEEDER FOR SALT LAKE ROAD
T. e. Gbbon Is Believed to BE Charged
With Mission of Completing Ar
rangements for Establishment
Of Steamship Company

T. u. Gibbon, third vice president and
general counsel of the San Pedro, Los
Angeles e. Salt Lake railroad, will sail
for Japan within the next two weeks,
the report given credence in railway
circles being that his mission is to
consummate arrangements for a
steamship line from San Pedro to the
Orient.
1t is further stated that such a
steamship line as Is now projected
will be controlled entirely by Senator
w. A. Clark and be operated in con-
nection with the Clark road and en-
tirely Independent of any similar lines
which Mr.. Hartman or Mr.. Hunting
ton may have in mind.
1t is to T. e. Gibbon that no small
part of the honor for the construction
of the Salt Lake road is due. 1t was
he who interested w. A. Clark in the
venture and it is now stated that the
senator, who has freely spoken of such
line as an event of the near future,
desires the Los Angeles attorney to
once more call his faculties into ac-
tion for an extension of the trade fa-
cilities of the new road
Another fact of significance is that
G. A. Parkyns, assistant general
freight and passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific, has made arrange
ments for a similar trip and will sail
from San Francisco next Saturday on
the steamship Mongolia with Mr.. Glib
bon.
Mr.. Gibbon exhibited some surprise
last night when he learned that the
plans of his trip had become known
ut is merely pleasure trip, merely
pleasure trip" said Mr.. Gibbon. my
wife will accompany me and we expect
to be away from Los Angeles for the
next three of four months
Mr.. Parkyns will visit the Hawaiian
islands, China, Japan and the Philip
pines before returning, but Mr.. Glib
bon's itinerary is to include only
Hawaii and Japan.

SEASIDE POSTOFFICES
MAY BE CONSOLIDATED
Efforts Made to Combine Postal Sta
tions at Santa Monica, Ocean
Dark and NaniNA
Park and Venice


Preparations are being made by
Postoffice Inspector Wilson, Senator
Frank Flint and Congressman Nc
Lachlan for holding a meeting next
week to consult with representatives
Of Venice, Ocean Park and Santa Mon
lea relative to a proposed consolida-
ton of the postofflces at each of these
towns.
1t is asserted that with a small post
office at each place, as is the present
arrangement, no free delivery can be
secured and the service is necessarily
not as satisfactory as otherwise. 1t is
further asserted that the Ocean Park
postofIice is in Santa Monica and the
Vanice office is within the corporate
limits of Ocean Park.
With these offices combined into one
large station in any one of the towns,
with sub-stations in the Others. free
delivery could be secured and better
service given, but as each town is anx-
ious to be the one with the main Of
flee great difficulty in a settlement is
expected.
