BUILDING INSPECTOR
CONDEMNS CANOPIfS
CANVAS STRUCTURES MAY
HAVE TO COME DOWN
When Used in Business District They
Are Held to Be UnsightIy
as Well as a Fire
Menace

The canopies that some of the cafes,
apartment houses and other business
institutions have erected in front of
their places will have to come down, if
the council follows the recommendation
OF the board of public works which will
be made to it today.
Two weeks ago }. e. Hollingsworth
and others petitioned the council to
amend the building ordinance SO s to
permit of canvas canopes stretching
across the sidewalk over the entrances
To buildings. The council referred the
matter to the board of public works
and the board sent it to Building In
spector Backus. Mr.. Backus urges that
no action be taken to legalize these
canopies, as they are unsightly and
fire menace.
The attention Of the board of public
works was called to these canopies by
the municipal art commission, and the
board called the attention of the chief
of police to the fact that these avn
ings were contrary to the building law
and asked that they be ordered taken
down. 1t was the active work of the
police that induced the owners Of
canopies to petition the council to
amend the law. The board of public
works believes that these awnings are
for advertising purposes only and that
as they serve no good purpose should
not be tolerated.

REVERSAL OF STORM
DRAIN POLICY SOUGHT
SAN PEDRO PETITION STILL
ON TABLE
Hardships Appear to BE the Result
of Doing Work by Means
of Assessment
Districts

The policy adopted by the city coun-
ell OF constructing no storm drains to
be paid for by assessment districts, has
worked hardships in several cases and
this seems to be the case in San Pedro.
San Pedro property owners recently
petitioned the board Of public works
to lay storm drain through the busi-
ness section of that place and agreed
to pay for it themselves. But in view
of the policy adopted by the council
the city engineer recommended to tn
board that the petition be filed until
such time as the matter Of construct
ing storm drains all over the city could
be taken up.
yut the board will make one more
effort to have the present council re
verse its decision and will ask that
body today if it shall proceed to build
the San Pedro storm drain at the cost
of the property owners benefited. If
the present council refuses to act the
board will ask the new council. which
will be in office the first Of the year. to
reverse the policy of the present coun-
Gil and permit storm drains to be con-
structed by assessment.
The council has decreed that here
after storm drains must be constructed
either by bonds issued for the purpose
or by money taken from the general
expense fund. The general expense
fund is exhausted for the current year
and there never is more in it than
can be used to advantage The mat
t of voting bonds for storm drains
is believed to be out of the question
until the owens river power and har-
Dor bonds are out of the way.

PARISH 1ONORS ITS
ASSISTANT PASTOR
Elaborate Reception Is rendered Rev.
j. A. Sullivan, Who Retires
from the Holy Gross
Church

A testimonial farewell reception was
rendered Rev. j. A. Sullivan, the re-
tiring assistant pastor of the Holy
Cross church last night at the paroch-
ial residence, 47O4 South Main street
Rev. Thomas f. Fancy, the pastor, as
sisted by his sister, Miss Fancy, and
the presidents of the church societies
received the guests from s to 10 o'clock.
The reception given last night was the
first large social event in the new pa
rochial residence, which was elaborate
ly decorated with red carnations.
Gardeners orchestra was stationed
above the stairs and rendered an elab-
crate musical program during the even
ing. Light refreshments were served
in the dining room by the Immaculate
Conception sodality. During the even
ing Father Fancy presented a we'll
filled purse to Father Sullivan on be
half Of the members Of the parish.
Father Sullivan, who has been as
sistant at the Holy Cross church for
the last year, will leave to resume his
work in the diocese of New Haven,
having been in California on a leave OF
absence.
After being ordained for the priest
hood the New Haven diocese sent Fa-
ther Sullivan to Europe to continue
his studies, making a speciality of the
Polish language, which he studied in
the ancient capital of Poland at Cra-
COW. On his return he will have charge

AVIATION WEEK
FUNDS NEEDED
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE is
SUES APPEAL
THE SUM OF $4,000 MUST BE
RAISED
Incentive Should Lie in Fact That
the Eyes of the World Will
Be Turned to Los
Angeles

The aviation week executive commit
tee yesterday issued the following ap-
peal for funds, addressed to the pub
lie:
Aviation week will commence jan
uary 10, 1910, and will afford the great
est opportunity to advertise Los An
geles throughout the world. II VIII
bring together to this city the world
famous aviators of Europe and Ameri-
ca. and the eyes of every civilized ma
ton will be upon this city, it being
the first gathering of the aViators IN
America.
Fifty thousand dollars must be
raised within this short space of time,
and it is impossible for the committee
to make a personal canvass for sub
scriptions. The Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association, under whose aus
pices this big event takes place,
pledges itself to refund to the sub
scribers pro rata the surplus that VIII
remain in the treasury after the pay
ment of the necessary expenses. There
fore, your subscription may be returned
in full or in part, and maybe with
interest.
SUBSCRIBE LITERALLY AND DO
IT NOW.
LOS Angeles has never failed to
seize an opportunity such as is offered
now for widespread advertising and TO
attract thousands of tourists, but an
immediate response for subscriptions is
necessary to carry out the agreements
with aviators 1t is an opportunity
that probably will not offer itself again
to this community.

PUBLIC UTILITIES ORDINANCE
PASSED BY COMMISSION
Final Determination Of the Subject
Will Today Be Left to
the Electors

The public utilities ordinance passed
by the city council became effective
Yesterday. but the five members of
the commission, appointed by the coun-
ell when the ordinance was passed
made no effort to organize. These are
]. d. Schuyler, DR.. Walter Lindley, L.
a. Mcconnell, Perry w. Widener and
w. NJ. Bowen.
Today the people will decide whether
they want the public utilities ordinance
passed by the council or the one on
the ballot presented under the inita-
tive by the Municipal league. 1t is TO
await the determination of this ques-
tion that the commission has delayed
its organization and il is almost a
foregone conclusion that the people
will vote favorably for the ordinance
on the ballot Even Councilman Drom-
gold, the father of the ordinance
passed by the council, believes the
initiative will carry and that his or
dinance will be repealed.
The ordimancF~on the ballot provides
for commission of three to be ap-
pointed by the mayor and confirmed
by the council instead of leaving the
appointing power to the council alone
The three commissioners will be on the
same footing as the other commits
sions of the city and receive no salary.
while the councils commissioners Will
each be paid $1,000 a year. The coun-
cirs commission has only $4,000 with
which to deal with the public utility
corporations and $74O0 is taken up by
salaries for the commissioners and the
secretary. The commission provided
by the ordinance on the ballot will
have $4,000 a year, and ii can all be
used to employ experts.
In addition the powers Of the COM
mission of three are much broader in
scope than that Of the councils COM

LEAGUE SUSTAINS
CHIEF INSPECTOR
Humphreys Stand on Street Specifi-
cations is Given Hearty Sup-
port by the Civic
Bodies

The position assumed by w NJ.
Humphreys, chief inspector of public
works, who opposes any letting down
of the bars on street specifications was
strengthened yesterday, when the Mu-
nicipal league, by its board Of direc-
tors passed formal resolutions sustain
ing him.
These resolutions will be presented
to the council today and at the same
time the council receive formal notice
of the action Of the Los Angeles Realty
board, which sustained Mr.. Humphreys
by a majority vote at a meeting held
last Friday.
The action of these bodies is hav-
ing a marked effect on the attitude of
the council which is considering the
ordinance suggested by real estate men
who want lower specifications for street
work. The ordinance provides that the
present high standard of cement walks
and curbs ng.st be maintained but tract
owners are permitted to road up their
streets instead of putting on the high
grade wearing surface so demanded
Until a few years ago the majority
of the council was in favor of the new
ordinance but several of them have
changed their minds and when it comes
up for action today it may be defeated.

BOSTON CONCERN CLAIMS
ROYALTY ON PAVEMENT

Property owners on South Park ave-
nue. have petitioned the council to
pave their street with asphaltic- CON
crete instead of the regular asphalt
pavement on the supposition that the
former would be cheaper,
But in a report made by the city
engineer and referred by the board of
public works to the council, it is
pointed out that a Boston concern
claims a royalty Of % cents a square
yard on the asphaltic-concrete surface
because of a patent.
The engineer does not consider the
asphaltic-concrete as good as the reg
ular asphalt surface, as it has no con-
crete base. He asks that he be au-
thorized to pave South Park avenue
with a fouT-inch concrete base and a
tWo-inch wearing surface, omitting
the one-inch binder course This pave
ment will cost no more than the as
phaltic-concrete and will be better.

POLICE COMMISSION
SETS RECORD FOR SPEED

The police commission set a new
record for itself last night by trans
acting its business in less than half
an hour. Nothing was done but the
necessary routine, as the commission
ers anticipate a hard day today, when
they will work at the polls for the
cause of good government, and they
did not feel inclined to sit up until
midnight.
Sol Israel promptly took the hint
given him by the commissioners last
Monday night when they revoked his
wholesale liquor permit at SIS West
Seventh street, and last night made
application for his permit again. He
was accused of selling half pints in
violation of law. but the case was not
fragrant and the commissioners hinted
that his permit might be restored after
a while.

gram agreed on, Senator Culberson' s
letter was read to the assemblage, and
then it was discovered he had not re-
signed the Craftsmanship, but had mere
ly stated his purpose Of so doing.
Immediately all the well laid plans
were upset and further action was post
poned until definite action is taken
by the Texas senator.
The caucus elected Thomas w. Keller
of West Virginia assistant doorkeeper,
which is equivalent to Democratic
representative of the sergeant-at-arms
on the floor of the senate. Mr.. Keller

the municipal cement plant at Mono
lith for the use of the aqueduct de-
partment.
The sidetrack can be. constructed
only by the Southern Pacific company,

construct this track at actual cost,
estimated at $1197, but in no event will
the price be more than S1317.

WERE IN en-. TRAIN
ROBBERY
MIR. AND MRS. G.. l.. WINANS HAD
EXCITING EXPERIENCE SAT-.
URDAY NIGHT EAST OF SPO-
KANE.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Winans. called
to this city on account of the seri-
Gus illness of r. B. Winans, arrived
here Sunday. They had a thrilling
Introduction to life in the wild and
woody west Saturday night. They
were in the Great Northern hold-up
between Mead and Colbert last Sat
urday, and Mr.. Winans has a badly
lacerated head as a result of the ex-
perience. Mr. and Mrs Winans were
in their berth and after the four
hold-up men had cut off the engine,
mail and baggage car and took them
ahead they were rifled and after
wards these were sent running
wild" and they collided with the
rest of the train. The impact of the
collision caused 80 persons to be
more or less injured, IL of them
quite seriously. Mr. Winans was
thrown back against the head of the
berth with such force that his fore
head was cut open quite badly. Mr.
Winans was quite badly bruised but
nothing serious
There was a frightful crash when
the two trains came together. the
passengers were thrown from their
seats, those in the berths were
hurled against the ends and sides
and many of them cut by flying glass.
The robbery was one of the most
sensational that has ever occurred
in the west The Great Northern
has offered a reward of an aggregate
of 100000 for the capture and con-
viction of the robbers.
