STREET DECLARED TO BE
PUBLIC TH0R0UGHFARE
Portion of Sunset Boulevard Long in
Dispute Finally Added Formally
by the Council to the
Municipal Domain

Through it's continuous use as a pub
lie street for five years without protest
on the part of the owners of the land,
portion of Sunset boulevard was yes
terday declared a public highway by
the city council.
This portion of the street begins at
the northwest city limits and runs
back about 1400 feet. This piece of
street has bobbed up before the council
and the board of public works for the
last five years in one form or other, but
nothing definite was ever done about
it until yesterday.
Five years ago the owners of prop
erty fronting on this street decided II 10
the city as a public thoroughfare. The
deed was recorded without the official
knowledge of the city and never ac-
cepted. 1t contained several clauses
obnoxious to the different councils that
have considered it, and all such bodies
have refused to accept the deed. One
provision especially was that property
fronting ON this street should be for
ever exempt from street improvement
assessments.
AS Sunset boulevard is to be inn
proved for it's entire length, 1t was de-
sired to have this portion of the street
accepted by the city in some definite
manner, and as 1t has been continuous
ly used as a street without protest for
five years, longer than the time re-
quired by law, it was formally declared
a public thoroughfare.

WOULD-BE WATER DEALERS
MEET WITH AN OBSTACLE
Council Disposed to Give Franchise,
but City Attorney Declares 1t
Cannot Be Done
Legally

In attempting to grant a right to the
w. c. 7. u. or r. C. McCracken to in
stall drinking fountains on the city
streets, the city council unexpectedly
ran against a legal snag yesterday.
1t was planned to give either one the
right to install fountains which would
supply free water, iced or otherwise,
at 1 cent glass, by franchise. Which
one would be given the privilege was
not definitely decided. But it was
found, on ruling of the city attorney,
that a franchise could not be granted
for this privilege, as it could not be
classed as a public utility, and the
franchise ordinance did not contem-
plate the use of any portion of the
sidewalk except as specifically provid-
ed. He declared he could see no way
in which the council could grant such
a privilege except by permit revokable
at WILL and such a flimsy license would
not justify the petitioners in investing
any capital in the enterprise.
Members of the council are anxious
to have fountains installed, and told
City Attorney Hewitt to take another
week and see if he could not find some
method whereby the fountains could
be put in more to the advantage of the
promoters
