ordinance giving private indivloual
the right to take sand out OF the Los
Angeles river by machinery by paving
the city the nominal sum of $40 a
month for the permit
The ordinance was passed after
being defeated once on the plea that IL
would be humane act Tor the nun
dreds of horses that are obliged to haul
sand UP the sharp incline of the river
banks daily.
The mayor is not entirely satisfied
with the precedent established and VIII

nance should have contained clause

shall be charged sand men who pur-
chase this Smachine-lifted sand

Los ANGELES ORDINANCE Toc
STRICT FOR THEM
Board of Health Decides That No
Bars Can Be Let Down for
Ontario, and Files
Protest

From Ontario. Cal, comes com
plant that the new meat ordinance o
Los Angeles imposes hardships on yea
shippers.
Ontario veal men want exception
made in their favor so that they cal
ship their meat here and have 1t in
spected afterward.
Health Officer l.. M. Powers oppose
any such concessions being made. say
ing to the health board yesterday tha
it would attack the integrity of the Law
and every other community would com
forward with some other protest.
The letter, which the board filed afte
authorizing Secretary w. II. Love t
make a reply, was as follows:
"In the absence of the secretary
of our board of trade 1 address
your honorable body in behalf of
the producers of veal.
Since your ordinance No. 1881
has gone into effect it has been al
most impossible to market our
calves.
I'm order to dispose of the sur
plus over and above the local de-
mand we must ship farther-and
sometimes directly through your
city7-to other cities less rigid or
of the producer.
Veal is of course a separate
proposition, set apart from all
other meats sed as food, as you
may well know. AS you may as
certain from your inspectors the
percentage of condemned veal Is
much less than of any other ami
mails slaughtered for meat.
Again, any disease rendereing
the calf unfit for food is much more
easily detected there than in any
other animal.
"The hardship worked upon the
farmer by ordinance No. 1881 is
that try as we may not at any time
of the year can we get together a
carload of calves to ship alive to
be slaughtered within your juris-
diction.
Upon looking into the matter
we find that to obtain inspection
this far out (forty miles) accord
ing to this ordinance the expense
of marketing would be so greatly
enhanced that the profit would be
insufficient to pay the producer.
Now, gentlemen, we have the
veal-good, sound and healthfu1,
such as we have always put on the
market-and your people need 1t
for consumption.
why not grant us some con-
cession or amendment that we may
live and let live?
Would 1t not be we'll with the
competent force of inspectors now
installed to have dressed veal
shipped and delivered to some ap-
pointed storage house in Los An
geles by express for inspection and
then distributed?

Edward Hagerup Grieg, born at Bergen,

Copenhagen.
Edward Hagerup Grieg is dead What
loss to the musical world-the great
Scandinavian artist. Hans Won Buelow
asserts that Grieg was the Chopin of the
north. His chief characteristic In his music
was its local color. In much of his music
we also find the element of mystery, the
mystery of lands shrouded for years in
mist, or lighted for long nights by pale
suns. His folk songs are simple echoes
from the deep forests, the high mountains,
the rushing, roaring waterfalls. They
all seem to belong to the cold, long winter
evenings with the cracking fire of pine
wood; they seem to be heard best of all
far from mans abode, in the wan northern
summer nights.
He sleeps well.
The Gamut club had its regular club
dinner last night Following the dinner a
musical program was given.
The program was devoted entirely to
Grieg's compositions. Owing to his death,
which occurred yesterday morning, the
club paid this tribute to his memory.
During the past month two members of
the club, VIII A. Harris and John Chick,
died. The services were in the nature of
