New Ordinance Suggested Requires
Autos and Other Conveyances Not
to Stand in city's Streets

PASADENA, April 6.-One of the
cherished privileges of the Pasadena
public carriage drivers is to be taken
from them. That is the permission,
which has always been extended, to
hold stations in Colorado street and
Raymond avenue the very heart of
the business section and the spot
where tourists mostly Congregate on
their arrival in the city.
Particularly the block between Fair
Oaks and Raymond avenue on Colo
RADIO street has become blocked with
traffic. Public carriages and automo-
biles, standing in the street, in this
particular section, have added to the
congestion, and when there are trolley
cars in this block it is not infrequent
for travel to be held up altogether for
several minutes at a time.
1t is this condition which the city
will attempt to remedy. In order that
the drivers may not feel aggrieved
the council today decided to call the
drivers before the board and have
them offer solution for the trouble.
Councilman Hotaling suggested this
morning it might be a good plan to
buy a lot, establish a telephone SER
vice On it and let the drivers make
it their stand. Mayor Farley fell in
with this suggestion. declaring the
drivers were of great service to the
city in showing strangers about and
that they should be treated as decently
as possible The city attorney has
been Instructed to prepare an ordinance
which will relegate the carriages to the
back streets.

SAN BERNARDINO, April Sine
fight over Councilman Hagerman's
eligibility to continue to hold office was
discussed at the councils meeting last
night.
The communication from Mayor Ham
ford was formally read to the council,
wherein the claim is made that Hager-
man had moved his family and house
hold effects and taken up his residence
at Downey avenue and consequently,
according to the charter, not entitled
to a voice in the government of the
city.
Mr. Hagerman was not present at the
meeting last night and the council III
his absence took no action.
The mayor is firm In his conviction
that Hagerman has no right to vote IN
the council, and besides making it plain
to that body he would veto every meas
ure passed by the vote of the council
man from the Fourth ward, he also
stated last night he would refuse to
sign the warrant for his salary until
ordered to do so by the courts.
The council also ordered an adver-
tisement for bids for a police patrol
wagon. This is to put an end to the
disgracefu daily sights of officers
dragging drunken prisoners through
the city streets on the way to Jail.
In preparation for the paving of the
CITY streets under bond issue. which
work will soon be begun in earnest, the
council has instructed the city attorney
to draft an ordinance which will pro-
hibit the indiscriminate tearing up of
streets to install water and sewer con-
nectionS.

SAN PEDRO DESIRES
BOULEVARD REPA D
Harbor City Residents Wish Direct
Road to Los AngeIes-Other BUSH
ness Transacted by the
Council

SAN PEDRO. April 6.-That San Pc
dro is much in need of a we'll built
and direct boulevard to Los Angeles
officially was called to the attention
of the board of trustees this afternoon
when Trustee George H. Peck intro
duced a motion instructing the city
clerk to write to the trustees of the
city of Wilmington and ask them TO
reDair the old San Pedro-Wilmington
boulevard.
AS the only available automobile
route TO Los Angeles is around the bay
through Wilmington and then mortimer
ly through Cerritos, Dominique ana
Compton--and the worst part of TINS
road is said to lie within the city linz
it's of Wilmington-the request was
considered in order and the clerk will
write the letter.
The city of Los Angeles came in for
a scoring also, as no improvements
whatever have yet been made on the
grade on Pacific avenue, which is in
the "shoestring strip" and access to
the city on the west limits is therefore
in very bad condition.
The street superintendent reported
that he had improved the street around
the hill from the end of Palos Verdes
street through the land of the Pacific
Coast Steamship company. but 1t was
up to Los Angeles or Wilmington to
improve the rest Of the way.
The members of the board apparent
" did not think Los Angeles would
ever build the boulevard down the
strip and said it was high time that
San Pedro did something for herself In
providing a road which would bring
traffic here instead of having it d.
verified to Long Beach or Wilmington.
1t is the intention of the trustees to
order ten carloads of oil for the i'm
provement of the city streets, to re-
grade First street from Palos Verdes
to Center street, and then to order the
sewers in on Barton Hill from First
to Olive and from Palos Verdes to Otis.
The monthly reports from officers
showed that $16S4 had been collected in
licenses, $40 in police court fines. SIG in
dog tax and that $3S9.25 had been ex-
pended by the street department.
Warrants were ordered drawn for
$197513 from the general fund. s4S5.05
from the street fund, $66.70 from the
sewer fund and $2545 from the dog
fund.
The city clerk reported a balance in
the treasury of 31,5S5,S7 in all the diff
ferent accounts.

ADOLPHUS BUSCH SEEKS TO
HAVE CITY STREET VACATED

PASADENA, April 6.-Adolphus
Busch and the city of Pasadena are at
war. The gauntlet was thrown this
morning by the city council after an
animated discussion of the action
taken by the millionaire brewer in
fencing off a part of Grand avenue
which he claims as his property.
The first fence was erected two
weeks ago and residents of Grand ave-
nue. which passes along the rear of
the Busch estate, went to his man of
business, Carl Conrad, to find out the
reason. They learned that Mr.. Busch.
having had his property surveyed, was
positive the street encroached on his
land and proposed to put up the fence
until such time as the courts could
decide the question. But yesterday Ia
borers in the employ of Mr.. Busch be
gan the erection of a permanent wall
which takes in half of Grand avenue
adjoining the estate.
The news of this action was con-
veyed to the council this morning and
after much discussion John Boyer su-
perintendent of streets, was ordered to
take a gang to Grand avenue and re-
move the fence. Assistant City Attor
ney Paul S. Houberger warned the
council the city would be liable to a
suit if such action was taken and that
If Mr.. Busch proved his title to the
land judgment would undoubtedly be
given against the city, but the council
did not seem to mind the warning.
"E Busch owns that street said
Councilman Crandall, chairman of the
streets and alleys committee, 1--WE have
been liable to damages for trespass
every day for the past twenty years
that the street has been laid out and
in use"
