FERTILIZER FACTORIES
ARE MENACE TO HEALTH
Ward Association Appearing Before
Council Asking Relief Is Re-
ferred to Supervisors

Members of the Sixth Ward Improve
ment association appeared before the
council yesterday to protest against the
fertilizer factories and the hog lots in
Vernon, just over the line from the city
limits. They told the council that the
stencil was so great they were kept
constantly i'll.
Yonkin, in whose ward the protesting
citizens live, advised them to go be-
fore the board of supervisors, declar-
ing that Los Angeles could not regulate
matters in Vernon. but the supervisors
had some jurisdiction.
The protestants point out that al
though these nuisances are maintained
in Vernon, the garbage that makes
them possible is collected in Los An
geles and the garbage-fed hog meat is
sold in Los Angeles. The only remedy
the council could suggest was that
when the garbage contract is let, If that
ever happens, it contain a clause that
garbage collected in Los Angeles must
be disposed of at least five miles from
the city limits. The matter was laid

ORDINANCE IN REGARD TO
MEDIUMS CALLED USELESS
CITY Attorney Says Measure Suggested
by Rev. w. r. Ireland and others
Is Unnecessary

The city attorney yesterday reported
n the council that it was useless 10
draw the ordinance suggested in petit
tion filed by Robert T. Hale, Rev. w. f.
ireland and others, relating to meol-
ums. clairvoyants and others in similar
professions.
This petition asked that before
license was granted medium he or she
be compelled to produce references from
the last city in which he or she oper-
ated and file a cash bond of $500 with
the city treasury, so whoever couio
prove fraud had been committed couio
be compensated for their loss from this
bond.
The city attorney declared that the
police commission had every power to
make an investigation of the past per-
formances of mediums and could de-
mand references if it saw fit, and that
legislation along these lines was not
necessary. AS to the bond provision
he declared it could not be enforced,
as the matter of fraud was one for the
courts to decide, and that neither the
city treasurer nor the city attorney
should be called on to decide II fraud
had been committed.

COUNCIL WILL SHARE
EXPENSE IN PAVING
CITY TO PAY ABOUT $4,000 FOR
NEW IMPROVEMENT
Seeing Justice in Appeal of Thirty
sixth Place Property Owners,
City Fathers Make Un-
usual Grant

With only Dromgold and Yonkin vot-
ing in the negative, the council yester-
dav passed a resolution to pay half
the cost of paving Thirty-sixth place
from Vermont to Normandie avenues.
The city's half will be about $4,000, &C
cording to the estimate made by the
city engineer. -.
While many sections of the city
have asked the council to assist In pay
ing for street improvements in their
neighborhood, this is the first instance
where the request has been granted,
and 1t seemed to a majority OF the
council that the petitioners on Tnlrty-
sixth place had justice on their SIDE
Until Vermont avenue was paved.
Thirty-sixth place was as good art
street as there is in Los Angeles. When
Vermont avenue was paved the pave
ment was sloped in such way that
Thirtv-sixth place is the lowest point,
and all the storm water from the
northwest and some from the south
west course down this street like
mill race in the rainy season. AS a
result the street has been washed out,
the curbs undermined, and mucn dam
age has resulted.
In order to care for this storm water
an oiled macadam pavement viii De
laid. and the city will pay half the
cost of this pavement. This will be
taken out, of the general expense fund'
because the water that has caused TINS
damage is general in its character ana
not the result of purely local condi-
tons. 49, oos-
IRE He declared it would establish
a bad precedent and it would be bet
ter to spend $4,000 of the city's money
for a storm drain at this place than
enc dollar for street improvements, as
others would expect the same.
The city engineer advised against the
city participating in the +n expense drai IN

tbis water and would be much more
in the nature of general improvement
for which general expense would De

HoSEMAN, PAST AGE,
DEMANDS REINsTATEM EMIT

C. L. Hatfield yesterday formally
demanded of the civil service commits
sion that he. be reinstated on the
eligible list for hoseman. His appli-
cation was denied by the board. 1t is
supposed Hatfields demand was the
preliminary of a mandamus suit to be
brought against the civil service COM
mission.
Hatfield is 45 years old. and the age
limit for hosemen is 35. When he
took the examination he passed with
a higher rating than anyone else has
ever received for similar position, and
for ten months was emergency man,
but his age has barred him from con-
sideration.

city engineer to prepare an ordnance
for sidewalking Hill street. between
sixth and Pico where the proper width
sidewalks have not already been laid.
Several years ago Hill street was
widened from Sixth to Pico, but instead
OF the extra width being used for road
way, it was added to the sidewalk. AL
though the city has been in possession
of this extra land for about three years,
some of the property owners nave not

The ''Fact and Comment"
Man, in Last Sundays Los
Angeles Times, Said;

''The appropriation of s25O0OO for the
proper improvement of Agricultural
park. including the building of great
pavilion there, is sure to affect very con-
siderably real estate values in and about
that point and incidentally it will benefit
the city property in every part of the mu-
nicipal boundaries OF course this I'M
provement was sought for its own ends,
and those who pressed it had no Interior
motive in view in doing so. 1t stood upon
its own merits, which were very great.
and the appropriation is entirely proper.
n Misunderstood that the city will add to
this appropriation, and the county also,
making a fund of close to half million
dollars, which will be used to improve and
beautify this very important piece or
property now belonging to the state OF
California"
