bitten up quite a good deal.
The Gates party has been warned
throughout the journey that it is TAX

to remain with it, but Mrs. Gates will
not listen to talk of a separation and
is still making a pet of the animal.

CITIZENS TO DEBATE
QUESTIONS IN PUBLIC
BOARD OF TRADE CALLS MASS
MEETING
To Consider Gambling in Pool Rooms,
Reduction of Wholesale Liquor
License and Railroad
Situation
Especial to The Herald

SANTA MONICA, Jan. 20.-The
board of trade has called mass meet
ing of all citizens to be held at the
city hall, Saturday evening. Gambling
in pool rooms, the councils action in
reducing wholesale liquor licenses and
the railroad situation are the matters
to be considered.
The indignation which developed at
the council meeting Monday evening,
when that body lowered the wholesale
licenses from $3.50 per month to 5000,
has grown and gathered force among
the merchants until it is decided 70
discuss the questions at meeting of
the general public and to take action
toward a settlement.
The general sentiment is for an in
crease rather than in a reduction of
the amounts to be paid by the saloon
lists.
A sore spot with the merchants is
the readiness with which the ordi-
nance prohibiting gamLling in pool
rooms was tabled at the meeting Of
the council. The ordinance, which has
been in the hands of the committee for
about eight months, was introduced
by Councilman J. E. Miles.
Mr.. Miles said today regarding the
measure: Pool rooms do even more
harm than the saloons, in my opinion.
1OullS lIISl dI0 d1lOW6u 10 SuI0r In6IQe
and gambling is carried on in some in
a way that the present ordinance can
not stop.
Regarding the reduction of the whole
sale licenses Mr.. Miles said: 81 was
not present when the council in COM
mittee of the whole consented to re-
duce the liquor licenses. 1 do not be-
lieve the business men of the city will
submit to having the tax reduced
Mayor Dudley was asked yesterday if
he thought there would be a compro-
mise with the Los Angeles-Pacific COM
pany. He said: 1.-The company wants
to have the two ordinances submitted
to me vetoed. and then the officials
say that they will return the flyer SER
vice. Let them put the flyers back
for a few days so that we can see
how it goes, and if it is satisfactory
we will get down to business"
Continuing, Mr.. Dudley said: ere
garding the stopping ordinance, which
goes into effect January %, I have
given orders to the chief of police to
watch the cars that day and cite every
car crew to appear for arraignment
if they are caught refusing to stop
where the ordinance designates. don't
wish to stop the cars running and dis
commOde the public, otherwise would
have the men arrested at the time the
ordinance is violated. 1 don't antici-
pate any trouble in the matter at ALL"

CITY AUDITOR DECLINES
TO HONOR COUNCIL ORDER
Refund of $500 for Taxes Made Re-
Gently to Pasadena Hospital
Held Up by Kellogg
as Illegal

PASADENA, Jan. 2O.-City Auditor
D. D. kellogg has refused to honor the
demand of the Pasadena hospital for
the $500 recently appropriated for that
institution by the city council, and it
new looks as though the hospital viii
not receive the aid it asked for through
Secretary H. H. Klamroth of the hos
pital association.
The $500 was a refund from the city
on account of taxes and was made by
the council after considerable debate.
The auditor, in refusing to pay the de-
mand, says the council was informed
at the time it granted the refund that
its proposed action was not legal.
Mayor Farley, to whom the question
was referred this morning, says that
as two councilmen, Crandall and Root,
voted against the refund he hardly
feels like referring the matter to the
council again. Probably the situation
will be left as it is.

SEWER ORDINANCE PASSED
OVER CONTRACTORS PROTEST

council met last night and passed the
sewer ordinance over the protest of the

y AS the ordinance now reads the price
of the connections has been reduced S.
and this change has brought about gen
eral satisfaction from many who at
first opposed the ordinance on the
ground that the board should reduce
the cost of connecting.
The contractors threaten to tie uI
the work by injunction proceedings
but as it is not the policy of courts to
permit the delaying of needed munich

reasons being set forth, the general
public hopes to see the work well under
