Municipal League Presents communl-
cation Alleging Several Violations
of Ordinances Governing Overhead
and Underground Wires

At the special session of the city
council yesterday morning Mayor Nc
Aleer was instructed to enforce the con-
duit ordinances that have been passed
by the city council. Each year the
board of public works names n district
of two miles in which the light, power,
telephone, telegraph and all other wires
must be placed under ground and the
poles removed from the streets. Sew
eral councilmen yesterday claimed that
the ordinances for this purpose passed
in former years was not being obeyed
by lighting and telephone companies.
The Municipal league presented a
communication to the council alleging
several violations of former ordinances,
as follows:
First, with respect to the ordinance
of 1897, which covered both sides of Los
Angeles street from Marchessault to
Seventh. Seventh from Los Angeles to
Hill, Hill street from Seventh to First,
First street from Hill to Broadway,
Broadway from First to Temple, Tenn
pie from Broadway to North Spring,
North Spring from Temple to North
Main, North Main from North Spring
to Marchessault and Marchessault
from North Main to Los Angeles, the
present violations are as follows:
Points Out ViOlatorS
"On Los Angeles street, beginning at
Marchessault. there are a great many
wires on poles on the east side of the
street down nearly to First street, where
they are carried to the tops of the
buildings up to Third street and from
Third to Sixth street there are poles on
the east side of the street all along Los
Angeles street. On Seventh street Sun
set Telephone poles are thick along the
south side from Hill to Los Angeles;
also some power or lighting poles and
wires from Hill to Broadway on the
north side of Seventh; also a power
pole carrying four wires to the Ferris
wheel on the northwest corner of
Seventh and Spring streets. On Hill
stI Get there Is pole of the Los An
geles Lighting company on the north
west corner of Third and Hill, near the
curb line On Marchessault there are
poles and large cables from Los An
geles to Main street.
Telephone Wires Remain
sixth street has poles on the south
side of the street from Los Angeles to
Hill, carrying large power cables, there
being nine from Los Angeles to Spring,
six from Spring to Broadway and three
from Broadway to Hill. There Is pole
on the southwest corner of First and
Los Angeles carrying power or light
wires. There are a number Of cases
where the Los Angeles Railway COM
pany has stretched heavy cables along
the street While the ordinance allows
for the poles and wires necessary for
running cars, it is a question whether
that would include the numerous
cables.
Second, as to the district cleared by
the ordinance of 1904, there are a num-
ber of poles left on the east side of
Figueroa beyond Adams, all belonging
to the Sunset Telephone company, all
the other companies having complied
with the ordinance. This company has
declared for some time its intention of
moving these poles at an early date"

Simplicity Marks the Modern Maids Wedding

A sort of reaction is taking place
against the elaborate weddings so long
IN vogue. with the result that several
brides have had the simplest sorts OF
ceremonies. carrying out the idea of
simplicity in decoration, and even In the
wedding dress itself. When present
giving is carried TO the extent that Il
was with one bride. who returned lust
her duplicates to one well-known firm of
silversmiths and had a credit there OF
something over a thousand dollars, it
becomes something most unpleasantIy
overdone.
The exchanging Of presents, too. by
brides. for presents to send to other
brides. has been carried on to the same
way as the exchange Of euchre prizes.
which became so annoying that several
stores We're forced 10 refuse such ex-
changes For not only was the original
purchase returned. and something else
taken out. but that second purchase
probably was returned. and it's equiva-

It's pretty hard thing for a girl TO

dearest friend. but many a girl has had

been able to avoid a pretty sorry feel
ing Of discomfort.
But one might go on Indefinitely quot
ing the prettiest little acts of consider
alton. There was the girl who planned
just simple summer dresses for her
bridesmaids; and the other who asked
her nearest and dearest friends to sit
In the front pews OF the church so as
to be near her, and TO give them
pretty little distinction. asked them all
TO wear their white dresses. She herself
sent them the flowers they wore-the
richest, most velvety OF roses.
As to the wedding itself, there's room
for a deal OF consideration TO be shown
there. 1t isn't every family 10 whom a
big AFFAIR doesn't come as a severe tax.
And. for that matter. any sort OF elab-
crate display OF decoration seems a lit
