TELLS COUNCIL
SELL FRANCHISE
COMMITTEE ACTS ON SEVENTH
STREET LINE
If Privilege Is Granted Trolley Facil-
tiles In Boyle Heights Will Be
Greatly nereased-Resdent
Clamor for Cars

The committee of the whole of the
city council yesterday voted to report
to the council the advisability of offer
ing for sale the street railway fran
chise running east on Seventh street
from the corner of Broadway and Sew
enth to Boyle avenue, south on Boyle
to Holenbeck avenue and east on Hol-
lenbeck to the city limits.
Houghton was the only member of
the comittee present yesterday morn
ing who opposed the proposition and
he based his objections on what he
called the hasty action of the council.
Houghton is touchy on the Gilmore
river-bed franchise and compared the
Seventh street demand to the fiasco
of a few months ago. But it was
pointed out to him that whereas Gill
more had tried to secure the riverbed
for nothing the petitioners for the Sew
enth street line want the franchise pur-
chased by competitive bidding.
Kern Advocates It
Councilman Kern. in whose ward a
large portion of the proposed line is
to be constructed, was warm advo-
cate of the franchise.
Whether or not Huntington is the
real petitioner Mr.. Kern did not know,
but declared that it was immaterial
who constructed the line as long as 1t
was built.
All the petitioners are either men or
business firms of standing, and ac-
cording to Mr.. Kern fully able to build
and operate a street railway line of
their own If Huntington does not want
the franchise himself.
The petitioners are the Industrial
Realty company, the Pacific Tank
company, the National Wood Pipe COM
pany, H. w. O'Melveny, A. Haas, w. E.
Hampton, N. Welsh and w. 1. Hol-
lingsworth.
None of the petitioners was present
at the meeting of the committee yes
terday to urge the claims of the dis
trict most affected by the new line, but
according to Councilman Kern, nearly
every resident in his ward is anxious
that the line be constructed.
The street car service in the Seventh
ward is entirely inadequate and there
is one school house that is a mile and
a half from any street car line that
will be much more easily reached
when the Seventh street car line is
constructed

that all danger therefrom may be averted,

Before the discovery of the lightning

damaged by lightning, but since they have
been protected by lightning rods, have
entirely escaped injury.
In the present enlightened age the
value OF the lightning rod as protection
against lightning is well understood.
The efficiency of lightning rods to pro-
tect the structures to which they have
been attached has been demonstrated by
their use for nearly one hundred and
fifty years. The most eminent scientific

of the use of lightning ro1s.
