SEEKS TO PROTECT POLES
Sunset Telephone Company Asks Re-
strainins Injunction Against
City of Pomona

The opening of the suit for an injunc-
ton restraining the city of Pomona
from tearing down the poles Of the Sun
set Telephone and Telegraph company
was heard by Judge Wellborn of the
United States circuit court yesterday
morning.
Robert G. Loucks, the city attorney
for Pomona, was the only lawyer to
contest the granting of the injunction,
while the Sunset company had some of
the best attorneys in the state to pre-
sent it's side of the case.
The suit continued all day yesterday
and will be resumed again today. The
claim under which the plaintiff corpora
ton makes it's plea for an injunction is
that portion Of the state law which
gives telephone and telegraph compa-
MES the right to operate. 1t is further
asserted by the Sunset company that
no franchise was necessary and that
the demand of the city of Pomona that
it take a franchise was illegal.

LATEs ORDINANCE
City Attorney Threatens to Swear Out
Warrants Against All Offending
Corporations That Are Dilatory
Next Week

Evidently fearing the wrath Of the
city attorney the Peoples Gas COM
pany yesterday submitted a supple
mentary statement to the one filed last
Wednesday in which the company de-
clares that it secured figures from it's
predecessors.
The supplementary statement de-
clares that the company furnished H.
36S,600 cubic fet of gas to Los Angeles
consumers at an estimated cost of
$13, 400. The company also estimates
the value Of its property at 100000.
This statement is not sworn to and
in this instance is a violation of the
public utility ordinance, as well as that
it does not give the figures required by
the ordinance.
The city attorney said last evening
that he would swear out warrants
against all the corporations which had
not made their reports according to
ordinance the first or this week.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-06

The people of Los Angeles have been
laboring under the impression that
when they voted $7S0,0O0 of bonds
for the erection of additional school
buildings in this city, they knew the
specific purposes to which that money
was to be applied.
They thought they voted this money
for the erection of schoolhouses in GER
tain sections of the city, as detailed
in the reports of the building COM
mittee and adopted by the board of
education and by that body published
and distributed as a campaign docu-
ment Just before the bond election.
The present board of education now
maintains that 1t is not bound by that
document; that no specific buildings
in any certain quarter of the city are
upon the program of construction, and
that the amount to be realized by the
sale of the bonds is subject to APP
portionment as the board sees fit. That
Is to say that while the board must
apply the funds to the general purposes
of school buildings, the location, num-
Der and size of the buildings is wholly
at the discretion Of the board.
Voters Ask Question
This will be astonishing news to many
thousands of people in Los Angeles who
have Rugged the delusion--if 1t be a
delusion-that the adoption and pub
lication by the former school board of
the recommendations of the building
committee as to the disposal of the
funds from the bond issue meant some
thing.
Was it only gold brick? Just a
list of proposed schoolhouses to catch
votes? That's what the voters want
to know.
The intention of the present school
board that the bond ordinance itself
did not specify any number or Local
lions of school buildings is true and
may constitute a legal defense but 1t
does not alter the fact that the voters
presumed that the school board report
was an amplification of the subject,
giving the specific information.
When the voters of Los Angeles went
to the polls to decide whether the bond
ordinance should carry or not, the fol-
lowing statement of the school board
was presented to them by that body,
I'VE, the undersigned members of the
school board, recommend that an
ISSUE OF BONDS BE ASKED FOR,
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
FOLLOWING BUILDINGS AND ADJ
DITIONS TO OLD BUILDINGS, for
heating and furnishing the same and
for the purchase OF the following land
for school purposes" Then follows the
statement printed at the top of the
column i'm which the proposed school
buildings are designated specifically.
Say They Are Legally Right
The defense made by the members of
the board Is that no statement what
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-06

we are in fact a unit In all essentials
we are unqualifiedly in the belief of the
deity Of Jesus Christ as our Lord and
Savior.
There was no sentimentallsm ex-
pressed, but manly, vigorous statements
of truth from many sources, revealing
the deep respect of one denomination
for another and a remarkable unity of
faith.
"Our foreign and home missionary
obligations were ably discussed and
the Indian and negro elements were
problems for jealous consideration on
the part of the churches.
II would measure this first federation
conference as a. distinct success and
the beginning of movement that will
result in great achievements for the
kingdom Of Christ"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-06

ever was made in the bond ordinance
passed by the voters of Los Angeles
in regard to the disposition of the
money brought by the sale of the bonds,
other than $4S0,000 was to be used in
the construction of common school
buildings, $260,0OO was to be used in
the construction of two high school
buildings and $4,000 to be used for
the purpose Of building a detention
home.
The contention Of the members of the
school board is that neither site, num-
Der nor kind Of buildings were speci-
fed.
J. M. Quinn, member of the build
ing committee of the school board.
stated the position of the board in the
following terms.
"It would be absolutely impossible for
schools to be erected in accordance
with the circular which was issued
shortly before the election.
I'm many instances the sites of pro-
posed schools are specifically enumer-
ated in that circular. Real estate values
now and real estate values of the time
when that circular was issued are two
very different things, and if the school
board should attempt to follow that
circular which really binds to nothing.
absolutely all tht money voted for the
erection of school haildings would be
exhausted three times over In the pur-
chase of the sites alone.
Say Circular Was Only Report
"All sorts of legal tangles would re-
suit from an attempt of that nature
and the result would be not to have
many schools In a short space of time,
but would be to so tie up the money
which we have that it might be many
months before it could be used for
the purpose for which 1t was voted by
the people of Los Angeles.
1.-The circular really was only a re-
port of the building committee of the
school board, drawn up for the benefit
of the members of the board. Its pur-
pose was to enlighten them in regard
to the needs of the city schools, but
since that time conditions have
changed sections of the city in which
there was an imperative demand for
school buildings have either been sup
piled or the population has shifted
and the present needs for school build
ings are, with few exceptions, in diff
ferent parts of the city than was the
case at that time"
Other members of the school board
We're interviewed on the subject and
none of them seemed to consider the
circular which was so widely promul-
gated among the voters of the city be-
fore the bond election at all binding.

bond ordinance was. to all appearances,
