DISTRICT FOR STREET
SPEAKING UNCHANGED
ORDINANCE TO CUT AREA IS
ORDERED FILED
Merchants on Los Angeles Street Pc.
tition to Have Territory Between
First and Second Barred,
but Are Refused

At last the gradual annexation of ter
ritory to the restricted district, in which
street speaking is prohibited, seems to
have reached a limit 1t appeared yes
terday as though it had gone little
beyond the desired limit, and on this
account an ordinance which was con-
sidered by the council was ordered filed.
This ordinance would have included
Los Angeles street, from First to Sec
ond in the restricted district. This
street is in the wholesale district and
merchants petitioned the council to 1nt
clude this block in the district to be
restricted. The city attorney for nearly
a tenth time was instructed to redraft
the ordinance and to include this
block. He presented the ordinance yes
terday.
But number of persons who use Los
Angeles street as a public forum en-
tered a protest against including this
block. The chief protestantS were rep
resentatives of the Union Rescue mis-
sion.
The ordinance was first drawn to
establish a restricted district which
should be nearly square, but 1t has been
amended so many times in order to
please different DIRECTORS that the east
side of the district presents many
angles.
]. ]. Backus, building inspector, ap-
peared before the city council yesterday
in the position Of a private citizen and
property owner, and got what he
wanted.
A petition was before the council to
extend the district in which undertake
ing establishments may be conducted
to include the block bounded by Ave-
nues Sixty and Sixty-one and Pasadena
avenue and the Santa Fe right of way.
The petition was numerously signed,
and Marshal Stimson, who represented
the petitioner, told the council that
Highland Park was anxious for an UNI
dertaking establishment in it's midst.
Mr.. Backus owns a house across the
street from where it was proposed to
establish the undertaking business and
he presented a protest. On his protest
were the names of number of property
owners who had signed the petition
and who asked that their names be
withdrawn. His protest against in
creasing the district was sustained by
the council, but before action was taken
the petition was withdrawn.

OILED MACADAM WILL BE
USED ON VERMONT AVENUE
Council Arbltrates Differences Be-
tween Property Owners and City
Engineer as to Pavement

The council yesterday acted as ar
bitrator for property owners on YER
non avenue, between Santa Monica ana
Santa Barbara avenues, and the city
engineers department. By the compro-
mise reached by the council oiled mac
adam will be used on this portion Of
Vermont avenue instead of asphalt
pavement recommended by the city en-
gineer.
Vermont avenue is paved with as
phalt except for this short portion.
which is not improved. The city en-
gineer has prepared plans and specifi-
cations for continuing the asphalt
pavement. But the property owners
objected on account of the excessive
cost They asked that the street be
graveled and oiled. The gravel will
cost 50 a front foot, while the asphalt
would cost $6.25. The oiled macadam.
on which the council agreed. will cost
$2.25.

THINKS DAMAGES ASKED z
IN CARvANZA EXCESSIVE
City Attorney lnstructs Public Works
Board to Fix Amount to Be
Awarded

The city attorney yesterday reported
to the council that the claims for dam
ages filed by property owners In Gar
yanza had merit, but he believed the
amounts excessive. The board of public
works was instructed to fix the amount
of damages.
There are three such claims against
the city land they aggregate $4,000. The
claims are based on the fact that in
grading Pasadena avenue the city put
the grade so high that storm water
was impounded in the Garvanza arroyo
No cllvert was constructed to let out
this water, and as result 1t backs
up on adjoining property
. The board of public works is consid-
ering the matter of constructing a Gull
vert under Pasadena avenue, but the
contract is held up by the failure of
the Salt Lake railroad to cooperate
with the city in paying the cost.

TAFT FIRST MAN TO BUY
EQUAL SUFFRAGE STAMPS
President Patronizes the Cooperative
League and Insists on Paying
Penny

NEW YORK, April 13.-It develops
President Taft was the first one to
purchase a suffrage stamp, an issue of
which has just been gotten out by the
Cooperative Equal Suffrage league re-
Gently organized here.
While no canvassers are allowed in
the White House, Mrs. Harold Dudley
Greeley and Mrs. Rheta Childe Dorr,
president and vice president respect
lively of the league, succeeded in secur-
ing an interview with Mr.. Taft and re-
ceived / cent for the first stamp placed
in circulation.
1t is said Mr.. Taft insisted on paying
his penny, although the suffragettes
wanted him to accept the first stamp
free.
The suffrage stamps are to be placed
on sale in every state to raise money
for the cause. They are similar to the
Red Cross stamps in circulation during
the winter.
While they cannot be used to trans
NIT mail, it is customary to attach them
to letter as form of greeting.
The sale to Mr.. Taft was effected on
Saturday and on the same day the
stamps were presented to Senator La
Toilette and Justice Brewer of the su-
preme court.

MUST PAY FOR VACATION
OF STREETS AND ALLEYS

Under the provision of a new ordi-
nance. which is being prepared by the
wish streets and alleys vacated, will
have to pay the city for the privilege.
While the council has no legal right to
sell streets and alleys, yet it can COM
pei the payment of a fee for vacating
them.
This fee is deemed just, because when
such streets and alleys are vacated they
revert at once to the adjoining property
and the owners of such property secure
that much more land for nothing.

STREET CAR COMPANY ASKS
TO BUILD FOUR NEW LINES
Rapid Transit of New York Appeals in
Advertisement to Expend Fifty
Million Dollars

NEW YORK, April 13.-The Inter
borough Rapid Transit company, which
operates the present subway and
which is one of several interests seek
ing a chance to build more subways in
New York, takes a rather unusual
course in pushing its plea by publish
ing quarter-page advertisements in
the New York papers today, appealing
to the people.
The PETERBOROUGH declares that
whereas the present subway was built
to carry 100000 passengers a day, it is
carrying 100000.
While it was expected that the I'M
foreground road would relieve conges-
ton on the elevated lines, the latter
are carrying so per cent more traffic
now than they did when the subway
was planned.
Pleading that there is no margin for
delay, the Interborough asks permits
sion to build a subway from Forty
second street to the Bronx on the east
side, one from Foroty-second street to
the Battery on the west side, and an
express track on both the Second and
Third avenue elevated lines.
The advertisement concludes:
1.-THE plans for our $50,000,000 expen-
diture are ready. Our proposal in writ
ing is before the proper authorities. We
are ready to act"

The Railroad Service.

Some time ago we mentioned the
fact that q petition was being circu-
lated asking tho railroad Commits.
sion to force the Southern Pacific
Company to put double train SER
wee on this branch that is, a pas
senger and . freight trains.
Conductor Durand has given Us
the train record from January 18th
to February End and he shows du-
ring that time the train arrived at
Port Barre, q little behind time,
seldom moro than thirty minutes
late. and he says that now on the
st. Msrtinville freight would be
loaded in . separate car which will
cause no delay here as in the past,
and better service would be given.
Mr.. Bradshaw, the train master
was over the branch this week and
he said that as soon as the bust
ness justified, freight train would
be put on this branch.
Conductor Durand assured Us
that the business of the branch at
this time would not justify the
Company to put in an extra train,
% tho business of the road was
considerably less than in past
years.
We do not believe that the peo-
pie on this line would demand and
insist upon anything that would
be unreasonable. If the company
could not run an extra train ex-
cspt at q loss. and tho handling of
tho freight arranged in such a way
% not to unreasonably delay the
passengers, they would surely be
satisfied.
We believe times are dull with
the railroad as we'll az with every
other lines of trade but we hope
that the railroad Company can ar
range during the summer months
to improve to the satisfaction OF
all the one train service. In the
past our people had good reasons
to demand better service, as it
vas really bad, on account of too
much work for one train.
Let % hope that matters will DO
arranged to tho satisfaction OF all
concerned.
