REFUSES PERMIT TO WOMAN
ON WOODLAND AVENUE
Mayor Harper Sides with Protesting
Neighbors and Mrs. Curtis APP
pIicatIon Is Turned
Down

Property owners who object to sani-
tariums succeeded yesterday in induce
Ing the board of health to deny the ap-
plication Of Mrs. Rose Curtis for per-
init to conduct an institution for con-
valescent insanity patients at 1896
Woodlawn avenue.
The principal objection stated was
that the patients were brought into the
institution at night, that there was dan
ger from escaping patients. that they
were not properly screened from sight
and that their presence tended to de-
preciate property values.
DIR. Albert Moore and ]. H. Seymour
of the board said they thought it would
be we'll to wait a week to give Mrs.
Curtis a chance to be heard.
Mayor A. C. Harper said, however,
that the neighbors objected to the sani-
tarium and he proposed to vote against
granting the permit. At that the board
unanimously turned down the applica-
ton.

ment. His head struclk a jagged rock
and he lay there for some time uncon-

bound a handker chief about his head
and started to walk to Los Angeles.
He walked all night, and early yes

brought him the rest of the way. Not

a charge of threatening to kill her.
The man was tried Tuesday and re-
leased. his sentence being suspended
during his good behavior. Watts
promised the court he would quit
drinking, get employment and provide
for his family. The prisoner had no
sooner left the courtroom Tuesday att
ernoon than he went to his nome on
Crocker street and abused and fright

conduct was reported to Deputy Con-

him into court.

into such a state that she is sick in

two children, and now she is unable
to work, even if she had employment.
Her condition is pitiable. 1t will be

Watts begged hard to be released,
but his conduct had not been such as
to impress the justice and his pleas
for liberty fell on an unsympathetic
ear.

Watts, as Justice Summerfield was
writing out the commitment; save II
for some one who needs it worse than

The court decided he could risk the
waste of ink and Watts quick trip

folly in not keeping his promises to
