HARPER VOTES AGAINST
LICENSING OF HOSPITAL

Mayor Harper upheld his policy OF
letting the property owners and resi-
dents of block say what sort of busi-
ness should be installed in that par
ticular block by voting mo on tho
application of +. Eta c. Jennicon to
conduct a maternity hospital at 1886
West Seventh street.
The case came before the board Of
health at it's meeting last night. II
had been laid over from the previous
meeting to give DR.. Jennicon an oppor-
tunity to secure a counter petition or
stem the tide of protest that has been
brought out by her application. Al
the last meeting of the board Mayor
Harper stated he never would vorc
to place a hospital in the block as
long as the property owners were as
vigorously opposed to it as they were
in this instance.
His was one vote against three, and
the three carried the day for DR.. Jen-
nicon. The three favorable votes were
cast by the physicians who are MEM
bers of the board and who sympathizei
with DR.. Jennicon as one of their pro
feSSion.

RAILWAY WILL
SAVE EXPENSE
CHAFFEE EXPLAINS PROBLEM
OF CEMENT PLANT
ROCK CAREFULLY
TESTED BY EXPERT
Tufa Claims Finally Abandoned and
Quarry Seven Miles West of Mill
Selected as Most Econom=
icaIIy Worked

Gen. A. r. Chaffee of the board of
public works, in charge of the aque-
duct construction, gave a full explain
alton yesterday of the railroad the city
proposes to build from the cement plant
near Tehachapi to one of its quarries
about six miles west of the plant.
The city has three quarries in the
immediate vicinity of the cement mill.
One is just back of the mill, and the
material could pe transported by tram
way, but it is tufa, volcanic natural
cement of inferior quality and not
suited to the construction of the aque-
duct except when mixed generously
with a better quality of cement.
Near the cement mill is a dry lake
full of clay, and water can be secured
in abundance at this point. When it
was first proposed to use the tufa
claims for limestone quarries were
Staked out in order to secure rock to
mix with the material. The plan to
use this tufa was abandoned later and
a quarry selected about six miles from
the mill. This was tested by the ce-
ment expert and found to be of good
quality, but the hill containing it was
covered. When the hill was blasted 1t
was found the limestone rock was
mixed with foreign substances which
would make the handling of the rock
expensive. About $3.50 was expended to
determine that this quarry was not the
best the city could secure for its use.
Another quarry about seven miles
west of the cement mill was selected
According to the tests of the cement
expert this last quarry shows most
excellent quality of rock, and as it is
bare mountain the aqueduct officials
have little doubt. it can easily be got
out when they reach the rock face OF
the mountain. 1t is to reach this noun
tain that the railroad is 20 be built.
This last quarry is little more diff
cult of access than the one which ii
was first intended to use, and it may
be necessary to build a tramway from
the quarry itself to the end of the rail-
road in order to get the rock down, but
as it is pure limestone the initial cost
of the tramway will be more than COM
pensated for by the difference in the
cost Of labor in handling the rock OF
the first quarry.

NEED NOT CARRY RED
LIGHTS TO SATISFY
BUILDING INSPECTOR
BACKUS SYMPATHIZES WITH
CURRENT PREJUDICE
States That, Despite Ordinance, Any
Other Color Than the Natural
Will Be Acceptable to
His Office

A green light, or any other than the
natural color, will do just as well 10
call attention to fire escape exits as
will red lights, according to j. J..
Backus, chief building inspector.
while the city ordinance specifies
that a red light must be placed over
an exit to fire escape my department
is not much concerned whether 1t is
red or Green or any other color, as
long as it is sufficiently out Of the
ordinary to call attention to the fact
that the door over which it is burning
leads to a fire escape" said the build
ing inspector yesterday.
Il can imagine there is some objec-
ton to placing red lights in respectable
apartment and rooming houses since
the recent agitation over the red light
district, and to a certain extent l SYM
pathize with the feeling against the
light being red. The ordinance calls
for red light, and While it would be
a technical violation to make it any
other color this technicality would not
weigh heavily with our office. No one
need fear prosecution who uses a
green instead of a red light.
'If l find any considerable number
of persons affected by the ordinance
who prefer a green to a red light l
will introduce an ordinance into the
council to change the color from red
to green"

PEDDLERS BEG
FREE PERMITS
HUNGRY APPLICANTS HAUNT
MAYORS OFFICE
RECENT DECISION oEcouRT TIES
HARPER's HANDS
Action Awaits Return of Councilman
Blanchard, Now Rusticating at
His Summer Home In
Bear Valley

In spite of the fact that the mayor
has issued no free permits to peddlers
for two months, a steady stream or
applicants appears in his Office every
day to ask for them, and it is with the
keenest disappointment in the hunger
wan faces that they turn away from
Secretary Kennedy's kind but firm
denial.
While Councilman e. l.. Blanchard
rusticates in his summer home in
Bear valley many poor persons, unable
to do manual labor through the raw
ages of disease, are starving to death
Councilman Blanchard is held respon-
sible for the condition because he Is
chairman of the legislation committee,
which has before 1t a proposal submit
ted by Tax Collector Johnson to give
the mayor, or some other official, the
authority to issue free permits when
recommended by the Associated chari-
ties or some other charitable tnstitu-
ton. This proposal was before the
legislative committee when Council
man Blanchard was in the city, but his
committee took no action on it.
Until about two months ago the
mayor issued free permits to peddle
notions and small articles on the street
in cases where it appeared the rightful
thing to do. One of his permits was
taken up by the police department and
the holder of it fined for peddling
without a license. The Judge who
passed on the case declared the mayor
had no legal right to issue free per-
mits. Since then the mayor has issued
none, and each applicant has been told
that, even should be get one, he would
be liable to arrest and Imprisonment.
The license fee required by the city
is rs cents month for selling notions
on the street, or $5 when a house to
house canvas is made.
The Associated charities has twice
asked the city council to pass an or
dinance giving some city official the
right to grant these free permits in
worthy cases, but the council has
taken no action further than to refer
it to the legislative committee. And
while the legislative committee dallies
and the chairman, who has the author
ity to call this committee to order,
takes his ease trout fishing, many
worthy poor are going hungry.
