ASK CITY ATTORNEYS ADVICE
Believed Edison Electric Company
May Be Forced to Remove Wires
From Griffith Park

The city attorney was yesterday in
structed by the city council to render
an opinion on the validity of the privi-
lege, revokable at will, granted to the
Edison Electric company by the park
commission, to install poles and wires
in Griffith park for the purpose of
bringing power from the Kern river.
While the city attorney has not said
so in so many words, he has intimated
that the park commission has no pow
er to grant such privilege and that
the Edison Electric company has no
legitimate right to use Griffith park.
In return for this privilege the Edi-
son company gave the park board $1,000
to be used for park purposes and
agreed to install six light In Griffith
park free of charge.
1t is probable that the city attor-
ney will declare that the park board
had no right to grant the privilege, and
that il must he granted by the city
council to he legal. In that event the
$1,000 donated by the company will
probably be just that much loss TO the
Edison people, unless the park board
sees ut to return the check.
The council does not believe that any
money received for public privileges
should go to any particular fund, but
be deposited with the general cash
fund.

THROUGH BODY
Prompt Work of Police Surgeons
Saves Life of Frank Flaherty,
Who Had Grasped Live

Although coming in contact with live
wires carrying 1000 volts of electricity,
Frank Flaherty, an employe of the Los
Angeles Gas & Electric company, was
rescued from a manhole at Third and
Spring streets, yesterday afternoon,
and taken to the receiving hospital
for treatment.
After regaining consciousness the
man whose death was reported in one
edition of an evening paper, was able
to go to his home on San Julian street.
Flaherty was one of a gang of cleo
tricians removing dead wires from the
Spring street conduit. Flaherty acci-
dentally touched a live wire with his
bare hand and was quickly rendered
unconscious. Seeing the mans terrible
danger, j. H. Chapman, the foreman,
bent down and attempted to lift the
apparently dying man from the man
hole.
Rescuer Is Injured
The brave rescuer was knocked back
ward by the shock when he touched
Flaherty's body and was temporarily
paralyzed in his lower limbs
Chief Auble who happened to be
passing by, at once assumed charge
and through his efforts Flaherty was
dragged to the surface of the street.
Artificial respiration was resorted to
while awaiting the arrival of the am
bulance.
At the receiving hospital the sup
posedly dying man was Immediately
given powerful heart stimulants and
worked upon by several surgeons.
The man writhed in convulsions for
half an hour but later recovered con-
sciouSness.
Tells of Experience
While lying on a cot he gave a
graphic description of the sensations
accompanying apparent electrocution.

Flaherty began. "I pulled back with

which my left hand was held. That
saved my life.

of current in the conduit, but of course
