OFFICIALS VIEW
MT. HOLLYWOOD
CLIMB TO SUMMIT OVER NEW
INCLINE ROUTE
Hollywood Promoters Show Council
and Commissioners Beauties of
Proposed Scenic Line Into
Griffith Park

II wouldn't walk UP again today for
S25, but / wouldn't have missed it for
$1,000" remarked Councilman R. w.
Dromgold to his foot-weary colleagues,
tripping down the steep sides of Mount
Hollywood yesterday afternoon after
the inspection trip over the proposed
Inclined railways undertaken by the
city council and the park commission
erS.
The affair was arranged by the Hol-
lywood promoters of the enterprise
who want to ascend on the west side,
but Col. ]. w. Eddy, who holds prior
franchise on the east side of the noun
tain, was represented also by Attorney
e. Edgar Galbreth and Engineer Dan
lei S. Halliday. There is not room for
both inclines at the summit of the
mountain, hence only one franchise will
be granted for the full length.
The west route is via Sepulveda or
Brush canyon, through which the Los
Angeles-Pacific already has built
spur, used mainly now for operating it's
quarries In the canyon. The grade is
not a sharp one, though fills and some
trestles will have to be introduced.
Like Mount Lowe
If the Hollywood franchise is granted
the promoters promise to establish an
incline, with cable and electric power,
similar to Mount loves, a pavilion,
refectory and observatory. These struc-
lures will be built largely of glass.
Forests of different woods will also
be set out along the route, flowers free
ly planted and many scenic features
added.
The company is ready to spend $780,
900 at once, the promoters stated, and

The view from the summit, which is
1900 feet above sea level, is majestic.
The panorama is varied and magnifi-
cent, sweeping to the ocean in one d.
rection, the Tehachapi on the other, the
Sierras and Santa Monica range be-
yond, and the San Gabriel and San Fer
nando valleys, Los Angeles and all the
intervening countryside richest In all
California.
Magnificent View
Five valleys, thirty-one cities, five
mountain ranges, the ocean islands,
and at times the mountains of Mexico
can be seen from the peak, which lies
within the Griffith park boundaries.

made the arduous climb to the summit

The ceremony was one of exceptional

COUNCIL TO FIX
UTILITY RATES
WILL FIRST EXPERT BOOKS OF
CORPORATIONS
Alleging That Profits Are Slim, Some
of the Companies viii Ask
That Higher Tolls Be
Authorized

The city council is accommodating data
in connection with it's plan of shortly
fixing the rates for the year for the
public utilities companies.
On Monday a resolution was adopted
authorizing City Auditor w. c. Mushet
to expert the books of the utility COM
panies as they requested when they
filed their annual statements of bust
nses, in accordance with the ordi-
nanceS
When the council has the auditors
report 1t will know exactly whether
the companies have made a fair show
ing, especially as several of them will
ask that higher rates be fixed to enable
them to make profits.
City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt said
yesterday:
1.-The council must fix the rates in
February. Last year the matter was
delayed until almost too late in the
month to give the subject proper. con-
sideration. 1t will probably take up a
full days time of the council next
week.
Some of the utility companies have
already applied for changes In rates,
and others will apply. In justification
they have submitted reports showing
their business of the year.
1.-THE finance committee and the aud
itor can better report conclusions after
they have gone over the books, since
an invitation has been extended by the
corporations.
"Oficials of the companies will be
notified afterwards that they will get
a hearing, and they may furnish any
evidence they like under oath which
will assist the council relative to such
reports"

n NE of the most important social
events of the winter. and one
" that is of interest to friends all
over the state, is the wedding of Miss
Anna Chapman and Erwin A. McMil-
Ian, passed assistant paymaster. U. 5.
N, which took place last evening at
81 80 at the home of the brides parents,
Judge and Mrs. J. S. Chapman, at 2O3
North Soto street.
Both the personal popularity of the
bride and the social prestige Of her
family rendered the occasion notable
one in this her native city. while Pay
master McMillan's official standing in
the navy, as well as the fact that his
family is one of influence in the north,
contribute to q widespread interest in
the marriage. Paymaster Mcmillan is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. David Nc
MILAN, now living in Oregon, where
Mr.. Mcmillan has extensive lumber in
terests, but they formerly resided in
Los Angeles, and their son graduated
from the local high school. He has
been stationed in Cuba and also in
Guam, and it was while Miss Chap
man was on a trip to the orient last
year that they first met.
Owing to recent family bereavement
the ceremony of last evening, though
deliberately appointed, was witnessed
only by relatives and intimate friends.

SUE HOUSEM0VERS
BECAUSE BOY FALLS
NEW POINTS RAISED IN DAMAGE
CASE
City Inspector Warned Lad, Crushed
Under Tons, Whom Surgeons
Patch Up After Four
Months Work

Final arguments were made yester-
day in department No. in the $4,000
damage case of Erven Liell Skinner,
minor, against the Knickrehm House
Moving company.
While moving a house at Paloma and
Clanton streets last year it is claimed
the company failed to maintain sufh-
cient patrol, and young Skinner, with
other boys, played about the structure.
He fell under one of the rollers, re-
sulting in his head being crushed.
Four months of heroic surgery were
required to save his life, and the lad
will be SCARED forever.
A peculiar feature of the case was
that Street Inspector Snodgrass of the
citys forces happened to be near at
the time and warned young Skinner to
stay away or he would be hurt.
The Knickrehm attorneys seized upon
this circumstance as one showing con-
tributory negligence on the part of the
youth.
The case went to the jury last night.

LIEUT.. AYRES, OF "OVERCOAT
SCANDAL" LEAVES ARM

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The vol
untary resignation of Second Lieuten-
ant II. Fairfax Ayres, Second Cavalry,
was accepted today by the President,
to take effect May IA.
Lieutenant Ayres, who was gradual
ed from West Point less than year
ago, is a son of Lieutenant Colonel
Charles G. Ayres, retired last July for
disability" The finding Of the retir-
ing board was alleged to have been an
indirect result of the so-called over
coat scandal" at West Point, in which
Lieutenant Ayres then a acdet, and
his mother were involved,
The "overcoat scandal arose last
year at Easter time, when several OF
the cadets loaned their heavy coats tC
girl visitors to protect them from the
weather. This was contrary to orders
and met with the disapproval OF the
commandant of cadets Colonel Howe
Miss Ayres, a sister of young Ayres
was among the girls visiting the acad
envy at the time. Her mother took VI
the matter, and a controversy spranl
up, the final effect of which was the
issuance of an order from the War De-
partment forbidding Mrs. Ayres ad
mission to the West Point military
reservation. Thereupon Colonel Ayres
father of Cadet Ayres, espoused the
