MAYOR APPROVES POLICE
HANDLING LIQUOR LICENSES
If New Ordinance Passes, Sergeant
viii Have Charge of Inspec-
ton of Permits

Although the position of police license
inspector was declared vacant by the
police commission because of the ex-
piration of his emergency appointment,
James A, Craig, who held the position,
proudly displayed yesterday a letter
written to him by Mayor Alexander.
In this letter the mayor explained he
had nothing against Craig personally,
but on the other hand believed he had
performed his duties in a most salts
factory manner. But, the mayor con-
tinued, he believed the matter of Ii
cense inspection should be under the
direction of the police department, be-
cause the large number of men en-
ployed in the department could do
much more effective work than one
man.
If the new ordinance, which the may
or has recommended, is passed by the
council Tuesday providing for the Gre
alton of the position of police license
inspector who shall be a sergeant of
the police department, every patrol
man on the force will be license in
SDectOr.

The public of Los Angeles should

city. They have found it necessary to

them the best time they have yet
known at an annual convention and
show them the most brilliantly lighted
