kOLFF AND SCHWAMM
MUST BE DIPLOMATS
FIRE COMMISSIONERS WILL
ARGUE WIFI WOMAN
Only One Protestant Stands in Way of
Granting Application of Manu-
facturer for Gas
Engines

Fire Commissioners Kolff and
Schwamm will make a trip to East
Thirty-third street today to try their
powers Of persuasion on an obdurate
Danish woman, who is accused Of
standing in the path of progress,
waving a red flag and wagging a
sharp tongue.
Her objection is the only OBJ
stacIe to the commission granting A.
D. Perkins permits to install two gas
engines, one a five and the other an
eight-horse power, for his auto wind
shield factory at 315 East Thirty-third
street. For eight weeks Mr.. Perkins
has been trying to get his permits n
order to start his factory.
When the matter first came before
the fire commission there was a nu-
merously signed protest against grant
ing the permits. Later several took
their names from the protest and
added it to the petition presented by
Mr.. Perkins. The woman in the case
is the only one who continues to object
with vigor. At the meeting of the fire
commission a week ago Mr.. Perkins
was told if he could get the consent of
property adjoining his factory, the
permits would be issued.
At yesterdays meeting he stated he
had talked with her and tried to win
her over, but she would not consent.
He proved that her house ju' more
than four inches over his property line,
and said she was going to move the
house to another lot
Kolff and Schwamm were detailed
as a special committee to talk to the
objector.

JUNGLE BILLY" WORKMAN
CAN SLEEP IN PEACE

Because he is large taxpayer and q
pioneer citizen of Los Angeles, the
fire commission yesterday decided w.
H. CUncle Billy Workman should
spend his declining years in peace, and
revoked a permit recently granted the
Buffalo Baking company, 341 Bodie
street, for a steam boiler with which
to heat dough.
Uncle Billy Workman was in Mex
leo when the permit was granted, or,
he assured the board, he would have
protested at the time. He said the
bakery was but 40 feet from the home
he has occupied for forty years, and he
did not want a steam boiler going right
under his nose. The district where the
bakery is located was formerly owned
by Mr.. Workman, and when he sold it
he placed building restrictions on~ it
that made it a purely residence section.
The representatives of the bakery
stated yesterday these restrictions had
run out last September.
When the permit was revoked the
bakery men declared they would con-
tinue to conduct the business at that
place even if they could not have the
boiler.
