WARNS PUBLIC
UTILITY CONCERNS
City Attorney Accuses Companies of
Withholding Statements of Realty
Held Outside of City
and County

City Attorney Hewitt in his report to
the council called attention yesterday
to the fact that the public utility com
panies had failed to comply with the
law which makes it obligatory to state
the amount of property owned outside
of Los Angeles, outside of Los Angeles
county and outside of the state.
The illegalities were stated specifically
and the report was adopted.
City Clerk Lelande will today notify
the companies formally that they have
ignored the law, after which the city
attorneys office will take up the case.
Councilman Wren wanted the council
to take up the question of fixing rates
on gas, telephones, etc, but was told
that the council had till July in which
to do so and the question was laid over.

TOWARD HOSPITAL
Charges Concerning the Management
Sidetrack Controversy over How
Many Heads Shall Run the
City's Institution

President Pease of the city council
yesterday named Councilmen Wren,
Wallace and Lyon as a special com
mittee to investigate conditions in the
receiving hospital.
This is the sequel to the charges of
alleged mismanagement and incompe-
tency In the conduct of the institution
which is run in connection with police
headquarters and has caused much
scandal of late.
1t may be some days before the com.
mittee gets to work Wren asked per-
mission to absent himself at the next
meeting of the council and will not at.
tend the committee of the whole Thurs
day morning.
Messrs. Wallace and Lyon of the COM
mittee served in the recent gas inquiry.
The council dead-locked yesterday on
the question of naming one or two
police surgeons to serve as heads Of
the hospital.
The four n-partisans, Dromgold,
Wallace, Wren and Pease, succeeded in
preventing Drs. Sumner j. Quint and
e. II. Harrett from being named as sur
geons, but lacked strength to have one
man named as the chief surgeon. AS
compromise at Lyons suggestion the
ordinance was dropped until after this
investigation.
Mayor Harper will assist in the in

BILL POSTER SAYS
TAX IS UNJUST
Varney & Green Oppose Big License
on Billboards and Will Be Heard
by Council Committee
Thursday

Charles Green of Varney & Green
came down from San Francisco yester-
day to tell the city council how unjust
it was to tax the billboards out of ex.
istence.
This is the first protest that has come
against the proposed anti-billbOard
campaign I'm the two weeks it has been
agitated. The speaker dwelt ON tha
millions of dollars invested in the bill
posting industry as the principal reason
why only a reasonable tax on the
amount of the firms capital invested
should be imposed. This he said he
was willing to pay.
The speaker read court opinions tend
ing to show that no tax could be inn
posed when the wall space was blank.
He will be given an opportunity 10

COUNCIL WORKS
FOR GOOD MILK.
COUNTY DOCTORS ADVOCATE
MORE INSPECTORS
Milk Board Of Trade Voluntarily
Adopts New Scoring System,
Which Bars Anything
Under Standard

The city council will follow the lead
of the health board and take up the
question of insuring a better milk sup
ply when its committee on finance
meets this week.
BY way of helping along the subject
of pure milk the County Medical assoc
cations pure food committee sent Sec
retary George II. Kress to the coun-
ell yesterday and he stated the situation
after the report was read by the minute
clerk.
Concretely the recommendations are
as follows:
THE Los Angeles County Medical as
sociatton, an organization enrolling
almost 400 of the ethical physicians Of
the county, some time ago appointed a
pure food committee to investigate and
suggest measures whereby only pure
milk and pure food would be sold to
our fellow citizens:
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-19
Herds Need Watching

THAT committee has studied the
question of pure milk with considerable
care and as a result of its inVestiga-
tions has concluded that the most ur-
gent immediate need of our city i'm re-
gard to pure milk is the establishment
of more careful attention of the sup
ply of milk: that is of the herds, of
the cow yards, of the dairy stables and
milk houses and of the methods of
handling the milk
ITO that end this committee Of physi-
clans, in conjunction with the United
States, the California and local dairy
inspectors and the local health officials,
met with the Los Angeles milk board of
trade and later with a special commit
tee from that board and agreed on
score card of rating our dairies, modi-
fled from the model score card recon-
mended by the dairy division of the
United States department of agricul-
ture so as to adapt it to the climatic en-
vtronment of this section: and it was
mutually agreed by this committee and
of the milk board of trade that all
milk offered for sale by persons whose
dairies did not at least score forty
points in the scale of one hundred
points adopted should be absolutely re-
fused by dealers in milk.
THE members of the pure food com
mittee feel that the voluntary adoption
by the Los Angeles milk board of trade
of this new scoring system with a
minimum standard, below which milk
shall not be purchasable or salable is
distinct step forward in favor of a
cleaner and better grade of milk for
