Discuss at Chamber of Commerce
Opportunities for Future

Representatives of the Tehuantepec
National railway are studying the
commercial situation at Los Angeles.
This is in connection with a general
investigation of Pacific coast opportu-
mites which will lead to a greater di-
version of European shipments to the
direct route to this part of the world.

Hot Shot from Auditor
During the morning session City Au-
tTitor Mushet told the councilmen some
things about public service corpora
tions. A portion of report SUBMIT
ted by Mr.. Mushet was as follows:
ut is to be regretted that these COM
panies, maintaining their concerted ac-
ton of last year, again refused the
city access to their books and records
and failed to furnish the city with the
information requested by the commit
tee Their unanimity of action plainly
indicates a working agreement be-
tween themselves.
81 have stated that an analysis of
their reports shows that power and
light companies are discriminating
against the small light consumer, and
that the companies attempt to cloud
the issue by mixing their power bust
ness with their light business and ar
bitrarily dividing their expense and
plant accounts in such a way that the
light end of their business is made to
bear an unjust share of the burden.
1.-THE people thought that when the
Edison and the Pacific companies en-
tered this field they would be released
from the thralldom of the Los Angeles
Gas and Electric company and that
there would be competition and so
they welcomed their advent. Have
they got competition? No; they have
a combination and maintain a sched
ule which requires the light consumer
to pay $50 per month for his light be-
fore he can get away from the maxi
mum rate of 9 cents.
"The concerted action of the COM
panies can mean but one thing, and
that is perfect combination amount
ing to a monopoly. If we are to have
a monopoly, why should the citizens be
made to pay for three distributing
systems, three separate administra-
lions and probably three times the
necessary general expenses? Why
should the streets be covered with
poles and wires probably three times
as much as necessary? Competition,
which would probably result in a fair
rate, seems impossible, and this being
the case the combination must sub
nit to municipal restriction and must
not be allowed to exploit the small
consumer for the benefit of the big
power consumer"
The gas rate was fixed at so cents,
the same rate that has obtained for
several years. No argument was made
on this rate, except the comment of
the city auditor. who said that past
experience had shown that as soon as
the rate was lowered the bills went up.
The telephone companies will pre-
sent their case to the council today.

Municipal Affairs
MUST FIND WAY TO
CHECK PARTY WALL
City to Pay Half the Cost of Struc-
ture When Tunnel Is Built
for Street Pur.
poses

At the suggestion of the board of
public works the city council yester-
day instructed the city attorney to
find some method of checking the cost
of the common wall between the tun-
mel to be built by the Los Angeles
Pacific company on Hill street between
Temple and First and another that
may be built by the city at some fu-
ture time.
This wall is a party wall--or 1t will
be if the city ever builds tunnel for
street purposes beside the one to be
constructed by the railway. When the
city builds it's tunnel it will pay half
the cost of the party wall and the city
does not want to pay half of any sum
the railway company may declare to
be the total cost. For this reason a
method of checking the cost is de-
sired.

MONEY is TRANSFERRED TO
SPRING STREET LIGHT FUND

The objection of the finance com
mittee to transferring $4,000 from the
general expense fund, which IS al
ready much depleted, to the Spring
street lighting fund was met by SUE
gestion from the board of public
works yesterday that the amount be
taken from the street lighting fund:
This is only a temporary transfer
and is to enable the board to adver-
tise for bids for lighting the ornamen-
tai electroliers on Spring street. the
municipal lighting law requires that
all the money shall be in the hands
of the city treasurer before the con-
tract is let The ordinance requires
the contract to be let by April l. but
the tax collection will not be able to
get in all the assessments by that
date.
AS soon as the money is collected it
will be turned back into the lighting
fund.
