ORDINANCE REGULATING
BARBER SHOPS PASSED
Council Decides on Sanitary Measures
Regarding Use of Towels, Tools
and Employees

An ordinance providing for sanitary
regulations of barber shops, which
both union and non-union BARRIERS have
been trying to have adopted for more
than a year, passed the city council
yesterday. Until the passage of this
ordinance there was no regulation
along sanitary lines of barber shops in
this city, and as a result Los Angeles
has had a bad reputation in this re-
gard. While some of the shops are
the best possible to maintain, others
are anything but good.
The ordinance makes 1t necessary for
barber shops to secure permits from
the board Of health, and before such
permits are issued the places must be
inspected as to sanitary conditions.
Violation of any of 9e conditions re-
suits in a revocation of the permit
All tools used in q barber shop must
be thoroughly sterilized.
Towels and cloths may he used but
once before being cleaned.
No one afflicted with tuberculosis or
any contagious or infectious disease
can be employed in such a shop.
Violation Of any of these provisions
is a misdemeanor and may be pun
ished in the courts by a fine of not less
than $50 and Imprisonment for not
less than ten days.

PROVISION MADE FOR CARE
OF INDECENT TUBERCULARS
Council Authorizes Board of Health to
Engage Nurse at Salary of
SIS a Month

The council yesterday authorized the
board of health to employ a nurse to
give her attention solely to the indi-
gent tuberculosis cases in the city and
appropriated SIS a month to pay the
salary of this nurse. This nurse is to
work under the direction of the Los
Angeles Society for the study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, but will
also be subject to the direction of the
board of health. As both organizations
are working along the same line it Is
not anticipated there viii be any con-
tiict of authority
This action was taken on a petit
tion by the Los Angeles society, pre-
scented by Dr. George r. Kress. 1t
placed several members of the council
in a peculiar position. wallace, Wren.
Clampitt and Ionlin declared they
We're all in favor of employing the
nurse but believed the matter should
be left open for the new council. Wren
declared he did not approve of creating
new positions in the eleventh hour Of
this councils term and leaving the new
council the responsibility of financing
these schemes, An effort was made to
refer the matter to the finance com
mittee, but this was lost by a vote

Municipal Affairs
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
ORDINANCE PASSED
AGRICULTURAL PARK OUTSIDE
OF LINE
Measure Is Believed to Be Satsfac-
tory to All Persons Inter-
estsd in the
Matter

The industrial district ordinance.
which has caused the council so many
weeks Of hard work and much worry,
was passed yesterday afternoon. It
is probably as nearly satisfactory to
all interested persons as such an ordi-
nance can be made.
The district in which factories can
now operate unrestricted begins at
the north line of the city and runs in
an irregular course down the river bed
following the line of the railroads and
having its western terminus at Hope
street south of the Southern Pacific
and 159 feet east of Hope street north
of this railroad.
That the district did not go as far
as Western avenue was due entirely to
the vigorous opposition of w. NJ
Bowen. The first plan of the council
was to carry the district straight
across the north end of Agricultural
park. Mr. Bowen is deeply interested
in the proposed Improvement of the
park and was chiefly instrumental in
securing an appropriation of S350,000
from the state for the permanent expo
sition buildings. Mr.. Bowen interested
a number Of the civic and business
in the matter, and they
passed resolutions condemning the
plan of the council to place an indus
trial district adjoining the park on
the north.
Among the protestants was the Los
county delegation in the state
and the Los Angeles Realty
board. BY it's governing committee
the realty board passed a resolution
to the effect that the maintenance of
an Industrial district north Of Agricul-
fHro1 mark 1yrOu11 dot TiD1pytpI IN tba
best interests of the city. These and
other resolutions of a similar char
acter showed the council that public
opinion was against the proposed dis
.rict.
Emmett Wilson, deputy city attorney,
told the council that those factories
now established in this district which
had acquired vested rights could not
be disturbed by the ordinance.

CITY WILL FIGHT IT OUT
WITH SUNSET TELEPHONE
Los Angles and Pasadena to Garry
On Action Started by Pomona in
Regard to Street Work

The city attorney was authorized by
the council yesterday to join with Pas
adena and carry the case of the City
of Pomona VS.. the Sunset Telephone
company to the supreme court. Pomo-
ma, Los Angeles and Pasadena took
the case to the circuit court Of appeals
and a decision was rendered adverse to
Pomona, and now Pomona wants TO
quit the case
Los Angeles and Pasadena are inter
ested because the case involves the
matter of franchises for all public
utility corporations. The telephone
company contends 1t has the right to
put up its poles or eXcavate the streets
under its state franchise, without Sc
curing permits from the city or paying
the city any revenue
Los Angeles will have to fight out
the same case with the corporations,
and now that II is so near the supreme
court the city attorneys department
did not feel justified in letting the
matter drop.
A number of other municipalities of
the state have been watching this case
nnd are interested in the outcome.

HOLLYWOOD ANNEXATION
ELECTION ON JANUARY 24
Assistant City Attorney Decides That
Voting Machines Cannot Be Used
on Account of Law

The city clerk yesterday reported to
the council that he had checked the
petition asking that an election be
called to consolidate Los Angeles ana
Hollywood, and found the petition suf-
ficient.
The council passed an ordinance fix
ing the election day as January "a.
As soon as this was disposed Of
Dromgold introduced resolution au-
thorizing the city clerk to take such
necessary legal steps as will provi le
for the future use of the voting ma
chimes at ali elections where possible.
The necessary legal steps are to have
the machines inspected by a state
commission appointed for that purpose.
Assistant City Attorney Emmett
Wilson told the coucil yesterday that
1t would be impossible to use the ma
chimes at the consolidation. as the law
requires the council must count the
ballots when canvassing the vote OF
such an election, and when the voting
machines are used there are no ballots
to count.

COUNCIL SATISFIES
TRACT SUBDIVlDERS
MAYOR EXPECTED TO VETO
NEW ORDINANCE
Realty Dealers Advance Many Reasons
for Acceptance of Streets Which
Are Opposed by the
Officials

With a compromise that came as
near suiting every one concerned as 1t
was possible to do the council yester-
day unanimously passed the ordinance
that the tract subdividers have been
demanding for several weeks Ihe
compromise is that the provisions OF
the ordinance shall apply only to such
tracts as are now of record or may be
recorded within thirty days after the
passage of the ordinance.
Under the terms of the ordinance
new tracts placed on the market must
have the standard cement sidewalks
and curbs but instead of putting on a
street surface of rock and oil or gravel
and oil the subdivider is permitted 10
road mp his street and sprinkle It with
a little oil. But the city Will not accept
these natural soil streets as improv ID
and is under no obligations 10 keep
them in repair or even so much as TO
sprinkle them with water or oil.
Although the ordinance was passed
unanimously 1t is more than likely
IT will be vetoed by Mayor Alexander,
as 1t is opposed by the board of public
works, the chamber Of commerce. the
Municipal league and the Los Angeles
Realty board. Each of these organlza-
tions has passed resolutions cohdeulH-
ing the ordinance.
w NJ. Humphreys. chief inspector OF
public works. would not accept the
compromise He has worked hard dur
ing his term of office to make the real
estate men put in q good class or
street improvements, so the street
department would have something 10
work on. A natural soil street goes
to pieces in year or two, and then
the street department is called on 10
repair it and put it in shape.
AS the money allotted the street de-
partment is nowhere nearly sufnclent
To do half the work 1t Is called on TO
do. the chief inspector believed he was
justified i'm asking that when streets
are dedicated to the city they nave
some kind of surface that his depart
ment will be justified in caring for
Many of the civic bodies supported
Mr.. Humphreys position.
The tract subdividers claim that II
is working a great hardship on them
TO compel them to put on a good grade
of street surface, and advance many
reasons. One is that 1t is almost I'M
possible to secure the necessary quan-
tity of crushed rock on account Of the
unusual demand and that II will be
wear or more before they can get 1t,
They also claim that If they put down
a good surface il is all torn to pieces
when houses are built on their tracts
and water, sewer and gas pipes are
laid. The fact that It adds 800 or
more TO the price Of a lot and makes
cheap lots beyond the reach Of small
home buyers was another argument
advanced

CITY TREASURER MUST
KEEP HIS OLD STR0NGB0X
Council Not Willing at This Time to
Expend Sum for Burglar
Proofng

The request of the city treasurer that
the large vault in the office of the tax
collector be made fire and burglar proof
and turned into his office, and the small
vault in his office be given to the tax
collector, was not approved by the
council Yesterday because of the cost.
]. ]. Backus, building Inspector re-
ported to the council that to make the
desired changes would cost about $780,
and then the vault would not be burg
lar proof. The only way to get burg
lar proof vault, said Mr.. Backus, is to
build one of steel and concrete, and
this would cost about $2500.
- In view of the fact that the council
expects a new city hall will be erected
on the site of the Temple block in
short time, the report was filed and the
request of the treasurer denied

SEPARATE TUNNEL B0RES
TO BE MADE FOR RAILWAYS

All tunnels built hereafter in which
street railways participate will have
to be two bores. one for the railways
and one for pedestrians and traffic.
The council yesterday adopted reso-
luton declaring it the sense of that
body that the two tunnels should be
separate. This is the plan outlined
by city Engineer Hamlin, who does
not approve the plan of having street
cars and team traffic in the same
bore.
This policy was brought about by
the report of the city engineer on the
work of estimating the cost of the
tunnel through First street from
Broadway to Fremont. Several mem
bers of the council do not approve of
this is a location for the bore. but
the present council will probably have
little to say about ii. as there are
only two moe meetings before the
new council takes office, and the pre-
liminary work for the tunnel can
hardly be completed by that time.

Want Street Paved

Although the people voted emphat-
icallv against granting the Los Angeles
Railway cOmnany a franchise in South
park avenue. the property owners on
that street still want it paved, and the
council yesterday adopted the report Of
the board of public works presented
a week ago advising the use Of the
regulation asphalt pavement instead of
the proposed asphaltic-concrete.
The property owners are satisfied
with the change, as the asphalt is
better pavement. and on account OF
the royalty demanded by the patentees
of the sphaltic-concrete the cost is
practically the same.

Abolish Labor Bureau

After many attempts and failures
the council yesterday abolished the
office of free labor bureau by a vote
of six to three, Blanchard, Healy and
Lyon voting against it's discontnuance.
Although Blanchard has been the
strongest advocate of the free labor
bureau, he precipitated the action of
the council by introducing a resolu-
ton that STA be transferred to the
labor bureau fund. The manager of
the bureau has not been paid his sal
airy since September, and Blanchard
wanted the money used for this pur-
pose His plan was defeated and his
friend was thrown out of a job.

SPUR TRACK FRANCHISES
GRANTED SANTA FE ROAD
Application Made Before Public UtiIi-
ties Commission Was Planned Are
Passed On by City Council

Two spur track franchises were
granted to the Santa Fe by the council
yesterday. One crosses Palmetto near
Colyton street, and the other is an
extension Of the spur on Banning
street near Center.
Councilman Wallace suggested that
inasmuch as the people had adopted an
ordinance decreeing that all applica
tions for spur track franchises should
be referred to a public utilities COM
mission he believed it only fair that
these franchises should be considered
by the commission
But as the utilities commission has
not yet been appointed, and the APP
plicatiOns for the spur were made be-
fore the ordinance was adopted, the
council could not see it this way and
passed the ordinances.

HEALY CHANGES FRONT
IN SPENDING CITY FUNDS

For the first time in his five years
as a councilman Barney Healy ap-
peared in the novel role of an econ
omist and Conserver of the city's
funds. Barney is usually anxious to
spend all the city money he can, be-
lieving that is what the city's money
is for, but since it viii no longer do
him any good to make votes he has
changed his attitude.
Healy's change of front was noticed
yesterday, when the matter of the city
paying half of the cost of the bridge
across Avenue 50 was presented. The
total cost of this bridge will he $500
and the city's share $3.50. Although
the general expense account is de
pleted, that has not heretofore been an
excuse for Healy when he wanted to
put something across but yesterday

ported by contributions from the city's
funds. The society raises several thou
saps dollars each year but DIR. Kress
said this money was needed to furnish
proper food and shelter for poor tuber-

GETS 30 DAYS
FOR ASSAULT

James York, apparently bad
actor, was arrested Friday evening
on the complaint of Dennis Kelly,
for assault with a deadly weapon.
Kelly had just alighted from the
evening train, and was accosted ly
York in the darkness on the
depot platform, who wanted to sell
him ring.
Kelly refused to stop and listen
to him and made the remark that
he didn't want anything to do with
him. At this York became angered
and drew out a wicked looking
knife and threatened to cut him up.
Kelley hunted up the police officer
and had him arrested. He was
given a trial in Judge Reeds count
Saturday afternoon and he is now
spending 80 days at Kalispell in the
county Jail.
York had been about town all
day Friday and approached several
people with the same proposition.

REV. Mcknight
HAS RESIGNED

Rev. d. b. Mcknight, pastor OF
the Methodist church has rendered
his resignation which will take
effect on December 1, and will 60
into the laundry business.
Rev. Mcknight is very capable
young man who came here last
spring from Kansas and is very
enthusiastic over the Flathead val
ley. During the short time here he
has become imbued with the west
ern spirit of business activity and
has decided to quit the ministry
and enter a new field.
AS a minister he is very popu-
lar man and has probably done
more than any other for the up
building of the Methodist church
here. A beautiful new parsonage
stands to his credit which is nearly
all paid for and a great many other
noticeable improvements.
He has purchased the hand laun-
dry of Tom Quong, which he will
convert into a steam laundry in the
near future. and it will no doubt
prove a very lucrative business as
Whitefish is badly in need of a
laundry, most of it now going out
of town to Kalispell.

PLANS TO GET ELEC-
TRIO FIRE WHISTLE

The Whitefsh Volunteer Fire
Department held rousing meeting
last Thursday night and transacted
a great deal of delinquent business.
w. Barbour, Joe Cavanaugh, M. A.
Cannon and D. C. Huson were
elected and were given an initiation.
The proposition Of giving a dance
was taken up and discussed, every
one being favorably inclined ball
will be given about December Is.
The fire department is in need of
some respectable place to hold their
meetings, SO committee was ap-
pointed to go before the city council
at their next regular meeting and
ask permission to fix up the room
in the rear for that purpose.
At the time of the fire in Math-
ew's saloon many complaints were
made by members of the fire de-
partment that they did not hear the
alarm, so it was suggested that an
electric fire whistle be purchased.
A number of the firemen have been
looking into this proposition and
find it quite feasible and inexpen-
sive. SO committee was appointed
to take the matter up with the
council to see what they think
about it.
After the business had been trans
acted, cigars and refreshments were
passed around and the new candi-
dates were put thru some instruc-
tions in reeling hose.
The annual ball will be given on
Washington's birthday, Feb. %.
