TAILOR SAYS EXPRESS
CUTS OFF HIS LIGHT
VICTIM ASKS ENFORCEMENT OF
ORDINANCE
Spitework Is Alleged on the Part Of
the Newspaper Company In Erect
Ing Huge Obstructive Sign on
Its Building

Declaring that the Evening Express
is venting a petty spite, the United
States Tailoring company has asked the
city council to compel the newspaper
company to comply with the city ordi-
nance regulating the erection of
wooden structures and electric signs.
The building superintendent was yes
terday asked to look into the complaint
OF the tailoring establishment and en-
force the law.
The communication from the tailor
ing company to the council states that
the attention of the mayor was called
to the violation of the city ordinance
by the Express several weeks ago, but
that the communication was ignored
A copy OF the letter to the mayor is
attached to the request to the council.
This declares that the Express COM
pany has erected a wooden sign, twen-
ty-two feet long and five feet wide
which IT has placed in such a way as
to shut the light from the tailoring
company and spoil the window display
The letter says that this is prompted
by spite on the part of the Express
company because of a dispute over
property interests.
1t is declared to be a fire hazard
as 1t Is easily inflammable and add
greatly to the fire danger TO the tailor
ing establishment.

Moro Power to Mayor

This compromise differs from the one
sent to the mayor last week, in that
it allows the mayor a total of nine
names from which to select his nomi-
nees, instead OF arbitrarily leaving the
naming Of the board to the three civic
bodies.
The council has agreed that as soon
as the civic bodies have made their
selections they will meet and con-
tinue in session until a board is con-
firmed.
Meanwhile all public work is being
held up.
The city attorney has decreed that
the council has not even the privilege
of opening bids and the effect of the
deadlock on public improvements was
shown when the city engineer sub

SEEKS PLAN TO
BREAK DEADLOCK
COUNCIL OFFERS MEASURE OF
COMPROMISE
" Mayor MeAIser Chooses sstlsfae-
tory Board Of Public Works
From List Peace VIII
Reign

Unless the mayor accedes to the de-
mands of the council that the civic
bodies be requested to name a list from
which the three members of the board
of public works can be selected, there
Is no promise of breaking the deadlock
over that question until Monday and
only the faintest Of hope exists that
it will be done then.
The council refused TO confirm the
last list named by the mayor, including
r. r. Del Vale, L. l.. Robinson and
E. Il. Perkins, yesterday morning, and
during recess the committee OF the
whole held a meeting in executive ses-
sion in which Il formulated the fol-
lowing open letter to the mayor and the
public:
The undersigned members of the city
council earnestly desiring to terminate
the unfortunate deadlock that now ex-
lists with regard to the appointment OF
a board of public works, whereby all
street and other improvements have
come to a standstill, seriously threaten
ing the welfare of the city. now beg to
submit to the mayor and to the citizens
OF Los Angeles the following PROPOSE
ton:
The charter, by its provision requir-
ing the confirmation of the council,
plainly intends to rest reasonable
part of the responsibility for the quail
ity- of these appointments upon this
body.
bility is made more clearly evident at
the present time by the fact that under
the state law this board of public
works must control the Owens river
Now, we propose to the mayor that
he comply with his original plan and
allow the commercial and civic bodies
to assist him in making a. selection OF
names for that very important position.
We withdraw our original PROPOSE
tion along these lines, calling for the
selection of only. three names by the
civic bodies, which we. are given to
understand is distasteful to the mayor
apparently to us on purely personal
grounds), and make the following pro-
position:
Pick Nine, They Say
We agree on our part that If the
chamber of commerce, the Merchants
and Manufacturers association and the
Municipal league will, through commit
tees appointed for that purpose, select
nine names in all other than those al
ready rejected and If the mayor will
make his appointments from the names
so selected. we will, without delay meet
and remain In session, if necessary,
until the mayor and council can agree
on a selection of three from those nine
names.
vance that we will cheerfully confirm
q selection of three names out of the
nine names so presented
AS we have said before, we have no
candidates of our own, and do not wish
to be accused of doing politics by even
suggesting parties for the position,
neither do we wish to oppose the mayor
unnecessarily, but as we deem the Of
foe of public works at the present time
as equally important as that of the
mayor or the council, we are deter
mined that this board shall be COM
posed of such men as will command the
confidence and respect of the people.

the bailiff cleared a passage way to the

a mere skeleton of human being, and
beside the ponderous deputy sheriffs
who walked with him he looked like a
pigmy.
AS the crowd managed to get look
at the man there was a general express

and was led straight before the bar.
He wore dark trousers, light coat
and a soft gray shirt, without collar or

did not add attraction to the sallow
complexion and deep set lines about the

Smith, as he called upon Attorney A.
