CITIZENS TO HELP IN
FIGHT AGAINST LAP.
MANAGER FOR COMPANY IG-
N0RES SANTA MONICA
City Council VIII Continue Firm in
Stand Taken to Compel Decent
Treatment from Rail-
road Company

SANTA MONICA, Jan. 15.-Com-
ments and opinions are freely ex-
pressed regarding the probable out
come of the war between the city
council and the Los Angeles Pacific
Railroad company. Most of the citi-
zens stand firm in support of the
council and express a determination
to back that body to the end.
Manager Sherman of the railroad,
in an interview few days ago, stated
as far as the road is concerned Santa
Monica was off their map and it would
ignore that city.
A prominent member of the board
of trade stated today in order to ig-
more this city any more than it has
in the past the road would have to be
an absolute knocker. Said he: 1--WE
have been ignored as a rule on every
occasion. There never has been any
pretenSe on the part of the road that
it was living up to it's agreement with
the city in any way. They have left
our streets torn up for months at a
time. A more childish proposition
than the methods employed by the
road never has been entered into the
railroad situation Of Southern Cali
fornia.''
There is considerable talk of cap
italists who desire to build an indie
pendent line to Los Angeles, and while
nothing tangible has been done it is
true number of persons, prominent
in financial circles, are making trips
over the territory lying between the
two cities with a desire to find out
just what can be done.

CUT OF $500 MADE
IN HOSPITAL TAXES
INSTITUTION ASKED TO PAY
ONLY 1929
Because of Doubt as to Legality of
Action, Two Members of City
Council Vote Against
Rebate

PASADENA, Jan. 15.-Taxes to the
amount of $500 were rebated the Pasa-
oena hospital by the city council today
as the result of an appeal made by H.
H. Klamroth, secretary of the hospital
association. Two councilmen-Cranda
and Root-voted against the rebate be-
cause of doubts cast on it's legality by
City Attorney ]. Perry Wood.
Mr.. Klamroth in his appeal to the
council called attention to the fact the
board of equalization had reduced the
assessment on the hospital property
from $4,000 to $500 because the institu-
ton is philanthropic in its nature, and
accordingly the city dropped it's tax
assessment from $592.S9 to $92.S9.
The council met for the express pur-
pose of starting proceedings for the
calling of a bond election February II,
when the public shall vote on the $780,
C0e bond issue for the completion of the
municipal electric light plant. The res
olution of intention to call this meeting
was read this morning for the first
time

Especial to The Herald

LONG BEACH, Jan. ia PROPOSE
ton to assume the operation of Hotel
Virginia was made to the directors of
the hotel company this afternoon by
Mayor Windham, Stephen Townsend
and G. J. Walker, representing the pro-
hibition element Of Long Beach, who do
not want the hotel to have a table
liquor license.
The hotel company took the PROPOSE
ton under advisement, but judging
from what can be learned tonight, the
proposition will not be accepted.
The three men who appeared before
the board want to take over the hotel
for term of five years, or ten, if such
arrangements will be accepted; and
they propose to guarantee all the run
ming expenses of the hotel and divide
the profits.
The hotel represents an investment of
more than $1,OOO,0O0. The directors of
the company are dubious as to whether
they would get a suitable return on
their money by accepting the temper
ance elements proposition. They do
not believe the hotel can be run under
the prohibition flag and make profits to
be divided.

Bradbury building, Los Angeles.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The cotton mar
ket reached new high levels for all options
today, but there was much evidence of
manipulation in the bulling of the near
positions that advance was hardly as i'm
pressive as the price indicated. Brokers for
a leading spot interest bid up March aggres-
sively and there was all sorts Of talk about
a squeeze to be attempted in March deliv-
cry with predictions that shorts would not
be permitted to cover except by bringing
cotton here. Southern spot markets were
subsequently higher and were generally re-
ported steady. Texas ewspapers now
reaching here state that the recent cold
wave has done great deal of good in
killing off boil weevils and insects. The
into-sight for the week was 900 against
5000 last year. The total is about 2,10O,-
900 more than last year.

Circulation 125 5th st.

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 15.-Actual work
has been begun on the contract of Don
Knight for the regarding of Beacon
street from Sixth street to the middle
of the block between Seventh and
Eighth streets.
The grading of this portion of the
Beacon street hill which extends from
the business section, past the city hall
and is the principal street leading
from the south hill into the hollow, is
a drastic measure used to force the
regarding of the hill to an equable
grade and until the property owners
consent to a new cut from the end of
the present works, the grade at this
point will be 10 per cent. All traffic to
the hill necessarily will be diverted at
Seventh street to Palos Verdes street
until action Is taken to complete the
cut on the new grade.
