HORSE AND MOTOR.
Does it riean the Passing of
the Horse?

"HE horse, since the beginning Of
civilization, has been one of mans
most useful servants. To the farm
er, his services are Indispensable,
IN drawing his crops to barn and market,
blowing his fields, supplying power to
thresh the grain, and, hitched to the old
buggy, the patient animal has covered
many long miles. But with the coming
Of the automobile, steam pillow, the trac-
ton engine, and the bicycle, his services
are becoming less essential, and some
have even gone so far as to believe that
In few years horse will be seldom
seen on our streets.
A prominent automobile journal says |:

Is further stated that the horse market
does not show the slightest effects OF the
automobile the demand being as great
and the prices as high as before the auto
mobile came into use. These reports are
taken from statistics obtained from 325
cities by the master horseshoers. All this
information is extremely gratifying, and

injury to any conditions which existed
previous to its entrance upon the stage. :"

OF RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
Fire Commissioners Ask City Council
to Pass Legislation That
Will Stand Judicial
Scrutiny

To prevent the possibility of fac
tory being erected next door to any
of the homes of councilmen or city
officials the council yesterday took
action to create industrial districts so
that power plants would not be erected
promiscuously over Los Angeles.
Judge B. N. Smith handed down the
decision taking from the fire commits
sioners the arbitrary power of saying
that factory can or cannot be located
at any point, but the city's legal de-
partment believes that in the highest
court this will be overruled.
The case was brought before Judge
Smith in such way, however, that
there can be no appeal Another case
must be pushed first.
The fire board has asked the council
to instruct the city attorney to draft
an ordinance which will not conflict
with Judge Smiths decision but gov
ern the erection and maintenance of
industrial establishments.
