RAILROAD COMPANY WILL
BE CALLED TO ACCOUNT
Santa Monica City Council Dissatisfied
with Action of Los Angeles
Pacific Respecting Third
Street Track
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, May 13.-The city
council has ordered its railroad COM
mittee to ascertain whether the Los
Angeles-Pa has permanently aban-
doned the Third street track, some
times called the North Loop line, or
whether it intends to go to work to
broad gauge the line at some future
date. 1t is now nearly two weeks since
cars have been run on this track, and
residents and business men of Third
street are up in arms over the APP
parent lethargy of the railway COM
pany. The connecting tracks between
the loop line and the main line have
been broad guaged, but the Third street
track is still in its old condition.
An interesting feature in regard to
the career of the Los Angeles-Pacitic in
this city is the fact that it has never
paid the city the percentage of its gross
receipts, as stipulated in the franchise
obtained from the city seven years ago.
This remittance has now been due for
the last two years. The corporation
says it is willing to pay the debt, but
cannot compute the amount due.
Strictly speaking, the road ever since
its construction has operated Illegally,
as the franchise was awarded two
weeks after the time allowed for bids
and without the readvertising required
by law.

portunity to vote on the new prohibi-
ton ordinance which has been before
the council several weeks. The ordin-
ance had a hearing last night and a
large delegation of temperance people
was on hand TO urge its passage, while
the opposition did not show up. The
cOuncilmen and Mayor Evans are il
favor of submitting the new plan
which is much more stringent than the
present one, to a VOTE and the council
will be guided entirely by the result.
The council also discussed the new
city hall plan submitted some time ago
by z. r. Evans and will ask for a pub
lie meeting at an early date to discuss
the matter.
Relative to the placing Of fagmen at
Railroad crossings the Southern Pacific
has asked that the order be not en-
forced, promising that it will obviate
all danger by having the trainmcn flag
ahead of their trains. The plan will be
given a trial, but it is not expected to
be satisfactory to the people.
The Standard Oil company will be
permitted to rebuild its tanks on the
old site, but subject to removal at any
time on demand by the council. The
plant was destroyed by fire some weeks
ago with disastrous results.
