MAYOR FERN IS
TO Be SUED
Continued from Page One.)
Graft Somewhere.


Supervisor Logan went farther. He
claimed that Mayor Fern was afraid
to stand for the agreement, and made
the statement that Superintendent
Campbell s books would show that
Mayor Fern had been excused from the
payment of $500 worth of water rates.
s|It looks to me a good deal like graft
somewhere" said Supervisor Quinn.
Short and Ugly Words.
Marston Campbell was called up on
the telephone short time later, and
told what had been said. He promptly
came down town and denied in tote
the statements made by Quinn and
Logan, branding the latter as triple
falsifier if he ever made any such state
ments.
81 have never spoken to Supervisor
Aylett about this matter but once,
said Mr.. Campbell, "and on that oeea.
sion / advised him to cut out from the
ordinance any provision for the collee-
ton of an inspection fee as / believed
that would make the ordinance invalid
Not Running Aylett.
"'I told Aylett that l thought the
county had a perfect right to have an
ordinance for the regulation of street
work and that a provision requiring
a public service utility company tear
ing up the streets to put them back in
good order again would be valid and
would be a good thing. But ! never said
or did anything to influence Aylett.
That = the only time | ever mentioned
the subject to him.
at s utterly ridiculous to say that
I had anything TO do with the matter.
] have kept out Of it entirely, for /
believed it to be simply a question
between the telephone company and the
county. / have not even seen Mr..
Carter.
Only Poppycock.
"Any story about my having ever
excused Mayor Fern from the payment
Of water or sewer rates is poppye0ck.
The truth Of the matter is this. Mayor
Fern was notified to pay up or be sued.
He then came TO me and complained
that he had been overcharged for water.
He was running a tenement house and
had been charged for seventeen men.
But be claimed that most of them were
sailors and were not there all the time
and he thought he ought not to have
to pay so much.
- investigated and discovered that
this was true. Mr.. Fern was about
5000 in arrears. Some of the debt dat
ed back before the Act of 1904 and was
in the nature Of contract. So | agreed
that if Mr.. Fern would pay mp within
a certain time, l would reduce the
amount.
"But Mayor Fern has not paid with
in the time specified, and just to show
YOU that there is not and never was
anv agreement to let him off from the
payment of what he owes the Territory,
suit will be begun against him tomor-
row morning"

two plays goes no further. In Mr..
Devoys comedy the messenger is a
fair daughter of Venus, gifted with
superterrestrial powers, who fits
through locked doors and who compels
mere earth beings to do her bidding

has been very well received in the
east, this being it's first visit to Los
Angeles. Miss Hermine Stone will

method to be used in making apple
butter, nothing being said about her
