TRUSTEES FAIL
TO TAKE ACTION
DEADLOCK OVER SEWERAGE
UNBROKEN
Two Officials Vote One Way and Two
Misunderstanding Vote to Be
Cast by the Absent
Trustee

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Nov. 20.-The dead
lock in the board of city trustees on
questions pertaining to sewerage mat
ters was strengthened last night when,
with Mayor Dudley and Trustee Goetz
voting one way and Trustees Vawter
and Steele taking an opposite view,
various motions tending to bring about
an easement of the problem were lost
for the want of deciding vote.
Articles that had been carefully pre-
pared were presented by Trustee Steele
and called for the holding of a special
election November 27, when it was pro-
posed to submit to the voters the ques-
ton of constructing a septic tank at
Bay street or Pier avenue, We're read
and came to grief against the deadlock
barrier. Trustee Steele tried to get
through a motion which was lost a
week ago to have the discarded outfall
main at Pier avenue made serViceable
and this motion met the fate of the
resolutions.
In the matter of retaining counsel to
present the case of the board in the
suit brought by the Ocean Park Com
munity league to compel by mandamus
proceedings the immediate expenditure
of the $4,000 on hand for septic tank
Goetz said they had no defense to make,
but that City Attorney Taft would pro-
tect them as individuals at the trial,
although the suit must necessarily be
defended by the board as a whole.
Trustees Vawter and Steele wanted
Attorney Ben Hunter to represent
them. 1t was finally agreed that City
Attorney Taft should defend the suit,
assisted by Attorney Hunter The
meeting closed with w. /. Hull, presi-
dent of the board of trade, demanding
of Mayor Dudley whether he had with
held from the north siders certain views
in the sewerage question that Mr.. Hull
alleged the mayor was quoted as hav-
ing expressed to the people of the
south side Ocean Park. Mayor Dud-
ley replied that any opinion he may
have expressed was not intended par
ticularly for the people of either Sec
ton of the bay, but for the community
as a whole.
Trustee Johnson, who has been away
from the city for several months, is in
Portland and will be back early in
December. Until he again takes his
seat on the board, which will break the
deadlock, there Is little hope held out
Of anything not ordered through the

who have left because their runs start
from Los Angeles now instead OF Pasa-
dena are not to return. This in spite
of the statement of some of the officials
that the changes are only temporary.
One of the minor officers of the road
admitted this evening that 1t Is the in
tention of the road to have Los Angeles
the headquarters for over $50 of the
men who were residents of Pasadena
six months ago. He said that the city
is no longer to be the headquarters of
the northern division of the system, as
it has been found that the lines can be
operated more economically upon
another plan.
This plan, he says, is to have the men
running the early Monrovia and Ar
cadia cars stable at Monrovia, with a
similar arrangement for San Gabriel
and Alhambra. Up to recently these
cars have all stabbed in Pasadena. He
also says that there is slight chance of
a return to the old system.
This condition has been called to the
attention of some of the directors of
the board of trade and it is possible
that that organization may take the
matter up with Mr.. Huntington per-
sonally in an effort to have the road
return to the old system.
