CONTROVERSY WON

HIS PLACE IS SANITARY
Protest Against Pasadena lnflrmary
Is Not Sustained and Veterna-
rian May stay Where Hels

Pasadena Agency,
1874 East Colorado street.
Ielephone Main ~


PASADENA, Sept. SO.-Chairman
Fayette Dyer Of the city council COM
nittec on sanitation told The Herald
correspondent this evening that, on be-
half of his committee. he will report
to the city council Tuesday that the
veterinary establishment of Dr. II. l..
de Biron Is maintained and kept in a
sanitary condition.
This will be big victory for DR.. de
Biron and will put to rout his neigh
bors. who filed a strenuous protest
against him week ago.
DR.. de Biron recently moved to Cen
trail court, where he bought house
and built himself an inflrmary. He
had not been there long before he had
some trouble with the people living
near him and a wordy war ensued,
during which the doctor defied them to
come onto his place and do him bodily
harm.
As result of this spirited contest
a petition or protest was circulated
asking the city council to declare De
Biron's establishment unsanitary and
a public nuisance.
This protest was presented to the
council last Tuesday and one of De
Biron's neighbors appeared before that
pQuN ana gave l0e UleQlCdl man a
verbal lambasting long to be remem-
bered
1t was charged in the protest that
DE Biron had, not connected his house
with the sewer and that his infirmary
is the original home of bad odors and
nightly noises
It was also charged that DR.. de
Biron had taken out permit when he
built his infflhary for a building to
contain only two stalls, whereas the
one he built contains six.
The question of sewer connection,
odor and noise was referred to the
committee on sanitation for immediate
report This report, which Chairman
Dyer forecasted this evening, disposes
of all three Of these parts of the com
plant.
The question of whether De Bron put
more stalls than he specified in his
application for a building permit for
his intirmary into that structure is up
to Chairman Barnes of the building
committee and it is understood that he
will report that as long as the doctor
did not exceed the specified cost for the
structure he could arrange the interior
to suit himself.

TWO MONSTER ENGINES
MEET WITH A CRASH

The collision which several thousand
persons paid to see some weeks ago
was duplicated last night when two
heavy Southern Pacific engines crashed
together at $40 in the Southern Pacific
yards.
1t was only by the narrowest margin
that the crews of both engines escaped
serious injury, and the switchmen
standing upon the fronts of both en-
gines had perhaps the narrowest es-
cape of all.
The engineers and firemen of both
machines jumped just in time to save
themselves, while the switchmen leaped
to the ground from the flying mon
sters. As the engines came together
the boiler of one exploded and both left
the track. although neither fell over.
The blame for the accident had not
been fixed last night

Exchange Compliments
A friendly Interchange of compli-
ments concerning the oiled roads of
the Palisades and Brentwood Park and
other features of the sections visited
aided in cementing the bonds between
the dealers in soil of Los Angeles and
the oldest of the Southern California
beach resorts.
Chief among business matters to be
transacted by the board was the in
dorsement of bills intended for pre-
sentation to the next state legislature,
relating to the eviction of recalcitrant
and delinquent tenants and to the
cleaning Of vacant lots in municipaIi-

WAR ON APARTMENTS
TAKES NEW ASPECT
FIRE ESCAPES REQUIRED BUT
CANNOT BE BUILT
Spite Fence Prevents Painting of a
Pasadena Building and the Es-
capes Would OVerhang Property
of Those Who Oppose Hotel
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald,
PASADENA, Sept. SO.-That the
owners of the Brandenberg apartments,
not vet finished, are confronting d Sc
rious problem was made apparent this
evening, when the building and plumb
ing department of the city. through one
of it's officials, admitted that there are
no fire escapes no the three-story build
ing, as required by law, and no room to
put them there without hanging over
the property line.
The Brandenberg apartments are
being built on South Marengo avenue
and their owner has built to within
three inches of his property line on all
sides.
On one side neighbor, resenting the
invasion of an exclusive residential dis
trict by hotel people, has constructed
spite fence" which is already high
er than the first story of the apartment
building.
There is only three inches left be-
tween the fence and the building. and
the fence was rushed to completion be-
fore the apartments were painted.
How any painter can get into, a space
only three inches wide to paint the side
OF the building is as yet an unsolved
problem.
The city fire ordinance, adopted some
months ago, requires all three-story
buildings to have outside fire escap pes.
This ordinance is especially strong in
making this requirement of hotels and
apartment houses.
Building Inspector Shaver states that
he shall insist that the Brandenbere
apartments live up to this law.
With the building covering nearly
every inch Of ground owned by Mr.
Brandenberg. and with that Individual
at war with his neighbors because he
built an apartment house on Marengc
avenue at all. there will be some trou-
ble to carry out this requirement.
The neighbors will not allow him tC
overhang their land with his fire es.
capes, and there will be a big protest
II the city allows one constructed over
the sidewalk in front. What with thu
impossiblity OF painting the building
on one side and the fire escape problem
the war against the intruding building
has reached an acute stage
