APPLICATION FOR LICENSE
REFERRED TO POLICE BOARD
Large Crowd Present to See Action of
Council on Hotel Savoy
Matter

SANTA MONICA, Aug. "A large
crowd of citizens turned out at the
council meeting this evening when a
petition carrying more than 200 names
of voters and taxpayers was presented
asking that the body reconsider its ac-
ton of a week ago in refusing a bar
license to the Hotel Savoy.
The claim was made openly that the
action was taken in the interest of the
Maier Brewing company of Los An
geles, which, 1t is alleged, owns the
other saloon licenses of the city. The
petition ended up with the words
either treat all alike or close all up"
and is significant in connection with
the talk of agitating prohibition cam
paign on the beaches which has circu-
lated among the citizens for the last
few months.
On motion of Councilman Proctor
and seconded by Snyder, the applica-
ton for license was sent back to the
police commission for action with the
request that 1t report on it at the next
meeting.
After the adjournment a number Of
citizens gathered and heatedly dis
Cussed the question, some claiming that
as consolidation campaign matter the
issue was dead. Others claimed that
the consolidationists' hand and pre-
served a number of votes that We're
hanging in the balance
The crowd that gathered at the meet
ing expecting to see much excitement
was visibly disappointed as threats of
what would be done If the council did
not reconsider their action of a week
ago had been made on the streets
throughout the day.

TO ANSWER MAYORS
WATER PLAN LETTER
MEMBERS OF THE OPPOSITION
HOLD MEETING
Refuse to DivuIge Course Decided on,
Saying city's Executive Will
Hear First of Action
Taken
Especial to The Herald

PASADENA, Aug. 2.-Tonight that
faction in local politics which opposed
Mayor Earley's election and which
also opposed and succeeded in defeat
ing the municipal water bonds some
months ago, met in the office of Ed
mund d. Barry to discuss answering
the recent letter of Mayor Farley ad-
dressed to that element. This letter
was sent to the anti-water people July
13, but unless an answer is decided on
tonight, four city council sessions VIII
have intervened without a reply. This
condition shows that the mayor has
automatically forced his opponents
into a corner from which they are
having trouble eXtricating themselves
without getting in a bad light with
the people.
In Mayor Earley's letter he agreed to
practically all OF the demands of the
antis in regard to a new municipal
water commission, though he made
some minor reservations which the
opposition may cling to as further
play for time. The antis have already
declined to attend an open meeting for
the discussion of the issue, and they
have declined to name two of a COM
mittee of five, of the other three two
to be named by the mayor and the
fifth to be selected by the four
previously selected.
The mayor has now agreed to a
larger committee as the opposition
asked, and has also agreed to the ex-
tension of the committees scope, so
that other matters aside from the pur-
chase of the three local water com
panies may be discussed and investi-
gated. In thus practically meeting all
the demands of the opposition the
mayor has placed his opponents in
difficult position and it is presumed,
though no announcement is made, that
the opposition this evening drafted
letter promising to select five of
committee of eleven.
The opposition would make no Off
cial statement in regard to it's decision
this evening, arguing that Mayor Ear
lev should be informed of what the
letter to him contained before 1t Is
made public.

the trustees of the several county
schools to arrange for the opening of
schools for the fall term on September
