|NEWSOF TIL COURT [IIIII| NM
COURT SUSTAINS
CITY LICENSE TAX
JUDGE OSTER RULES IN FAVOR
OF COUNCIL
Suit by Owner of Building Containing
More Than Thirty Rooms Is
Decided Against the
Complainant

The constitutionality of the city ord
nance which provides for the payment
to the city of an annual license tax of
81 for each room in buildings contain
ing more than thirty rooms was upheld
yesterday in a decision by Judge Oster
of San Bernardino, who occupied the
bench in the Los Angeles county SUI
perior court last spring when the case
came before that court to test the
validity of the ordinance.
The defendants were j. b. Lanker-
SHIN and the Union Trust company
the former being called upon to pay
the city 5000 and the latter 1886. They
contend the ordinance was unconstitu-
tional on the ground that property was
taken without due process of law and
that it Disseminated in favor of own
ers whose buildings contained less than
thirty rooms.
Judge Oster gave judgment for the
city, saying the council has the right
to make a classification of buildings,
but those contained in each class must
be treated impartially.

CITY GAS co. DEAL
NEARING CONCLUSION
Election to Increase Bonded Indebted
ness Is Postponed Because of
Negotiations for Transfer
of Properties

Negotiations for the sale of the City
Gas company's properties to a syndi-
cate led by Messrs. Huntington, Kerck-
hoff and Balch are going ahead.
Signing of contracts was partially
concluded yesterday.
Yesterday was the day set by the old
company for voting an additional
bonded indebtedness of $1,000, 900. Be
cause of negotiations for sale, how
ever, the voting was delayed.
This step was taken in case the ne
gotiations failed, and the election was
called long before the deal reached its
present stage.
The idea was that if for any reasons
more capital was needed to have 1t In
sight at least so that the work of ex-
tension could go on.
The city company is now serving
over $500 gas connections, President
Joseph Sartori stated yesterday.
The City company has large num-
ber of stockholders, while the purchas-
ing syndicate is said to be limited te
eight men, who can easily and quickl.
get together for concerted action.
