Chairman Walter Wren of the sup

nounced at Yesterdays meeting of the
COMMITTEES that some furniture deal
ers in Los Angeles, led by officials OF
the Pacific Furniture company, had IN
tinated TO him that because Niles
Pease was president of the city couh-
ell. the furniture concern in Whlch MI
Pease's sons are interested, was get
ting a lions share of the city's busl-
ness.
No formal charges ht.. been MADE,
but Chairman Wren said he drew the
conclusion that there was some feellng
in the furniture trade over the situa-
tion.
The committee decided to call on the
city's legal department for an opinion
in the premises and Deputy City At
torney Emmett Wilson suggested that
President Pease be asked to make an
affidavit that he had no interest in
any furniture company bidding for
city contracts. No one was at the
meeting to make any answer for Presi-
dent Pease.
1t is probable that Mayor Arthur c..
Harper will also be asked to make a
similar affidavit in connection with the

come from any hardware men, but
since the Pease case Is up the COM
