Municipal Affairs
COUNCIL POSTPONES
ACTION ON VETOES
ONE FORMAL ORDINANCE IS
ALONE RESCINDED
Absence of Members Renders Delay
of One Week Necessary-PubIic
Utility Rates Still in
Doubt

Five vetoes from Mayor stephens
We're considered by the city council
yesterday. When these messages were
read the votes by which the ordinances
and resolutions had passed were re-
considered and with the exception OF
one, all were deferred for one week.
The postponement was caused by the
absence of Yonkin, Clampitt and Drom-
gold. These three will be necessary II
the ordinances are to pass over the
veto of the mayor, but two OF them,
Yonkin and Dromgold, will not vote to
pass the ordinances.
Three of these ordinances relate to
public utility rates. About ten days
ago the council fixed the electric light
ing rate at cents a kilowatt hour and
the gas rate at so cents a thousand
feet The telephone ordinance passed
only by a vote of five to four To pass
it over the mayors veto will require
six votes, and if all four of those who
opposed the increase for the Home
stand pat new schedule of rates must
be made.
The electric light ordinance passed
by a vote of six to three. This rate
was fixed in pursuance of gentle
mems agreement entered into between
the council and the lighting companies
two years ago. But two of those who
were parties to this agreement, Wal
lace and Pease, kicked over the traces
and refused to stand pat, both de-
handing an Scent rate. Wren was not
party to the agreement and refused
to abide by its terms.
The gas ordinance passed unani-
mously, as the council was agreed that
S0-cent gas is cheap enough.
Course Decided Legal
When the motion to delay action for
a week was made City Auditor Mushet
called attention to the fact that the
ordinance declares these rates must be
fixed in the month of March. But the
city attorney ruled that as long as the
work had begun and the delay was
only a continuance it could properly be
done in April.
Another veto message sent to the
council by Mayor Stephens related to
the animal contract, which the mayor
vetoed because he declared the city
could do better by handling these dead
animals itself.
The fifth veto was of the ordinance
passed by the council last week,
authorizing the issuance of N72O,OOO
worth of Owens river bonds. This veto
was merely prefunctory and was made
at the request of the city attorney
The council passed the ordinance Tues
day, but it takes thirty days for an or
dinance to become a law. The aqueduct
department wanted the bonds issued
sooner than that, and Thursday the
council held a special session and
authorized the bonds by resolution.
which is effective at once and just
as legal In order that the ordinance
should not conflict with the resolution,
and thus complicate the bond issue,
the ordinance was vetoed.
In sending in these five vetoes in one
day Mayor Stephens broke the veto
record in Los Angeles. He also has
broken the mayoralty term record. He
is the only man to hold the Office OF
mayor for two weeks. John Bryson
held the Office for three months, but

TRY VAlNLY TO INCREASE
ELECTION OFFICIALS FEE
Council Sticks to Its Original Decision
Despite PIeadines Of Lyon
and Healy

Henry Lyon and Barney Healy yes
terday tried to pay the election clerks
and judges Sc each for the mayoralty
election, and they might have put 1T
over had it not been for the 1act
that Councilman Wallace made strenu-
Gus objections.
Wallace pointed out that when the
ordinance fixing the maximum fee for
election officials at S. was passed there
was a genera. understanding among
the. councilman that the fee for the
last election would be only 50, as 1t
was the easiest election that has been
held in Los Angeles for many months.
Lyon declared that many members
of election boa is last Friday were the
same men who served on the charter
amendment boards, when they worked
eighteen and twenty-four hours Tor
SIS. He said it would only be equity to
give them a little more money this
time. But the fee was finally liked
at So.
There are 1900 demands against the
election fund for So each.

AVENUE PROPERTY
OWNERS WILL URGE PETITION

The council has set April Is as the
date for hearing the petition OF YER
mont avenue property owners, between
Santa Barbara and Santa Monica ave-
nues, on the matter of pavement.
The board of public works has pre-
pared plans for an asphalt pavement
on this portion of Vermont avenue, but
the property owners object to the cost.
They have presented a petition for
grading. gravelling and oiling the
street.
1t is the idea of the council that the
property owners may be induced to
compromise and accept an oiled ma
cadam. which is nearly as good as an
asphalt pavement, but much cheaper.

The Great Divide" the drama
which the critics of America have
called THE Long Awaited Great Am

more notable theatrical people than

siderable fame because of her big hit
in the leading role Of Charles Froh-
mans THE Thief" the Bernstein
drama which, second to The Great
Divide" was the rage OF New York
at the Lyceum theatre last year. 1t
was in this part that Miss Brownell
attracted the attention of Mr.. Henry
Miller who was then looking for
leading woman to assume the role in
THE Great Divide" made famous
throughout the country by Margaret
Anglin. Mr. Miller and Miss Brow,
nell soon came to terms and this

Especial CorerspondenceD }

Milton, Jan. 13.-If the measures
authorized by the city council at its
first meeting for the new year, held
in council hall Monday night, are sue
cessfully carried out, an entire new
system of fire alarms will be installed
in Milton.
The alarm at the central fire sta
ton will be given by the central tele-
graph station, while members of the
fire department will be notified of a
fire in any part of the city by means
Of special electric fire bells, placed
in the home of each.
The recommendation for this action
was made by Fire Chief ]. D. Nc
knight in a brief address to the coun-
Gil He offered to furnish all alarm
bells for the individual members of
the fire department provided the city
stand the expense of wiring on the
outside. This the council agreed to
and the necessary work will be done
as soon as possible.
During the past few weeks there
have been several calls on the fire
department, all of which have come
at night, and several Of the firemen
were unable to hear the central bell,
so great was the wind during that time
of the night. 1t is for the purpose
of eliminating all such possible dan
ger that the new system will be in
stalled.

NII-O-NA.
Relieves Stomach Misery Almost I'm
mediately.


If the food you ate at your last meal
did not digest, but laid for a long
time like lead on your stomach, then
you have indigestion and quick action
should be taken.
OF course there are many other
symptoms Of Indigestion. such as
belching up Of sour food, heartburn,
dizziness, shortness Of breath and
if you have any Of them, your stom-
ach is out Of order and should be cor
rected.
Mi-o-na tablets have cured thou
sands Of cases Of indigestion and
stomach trouble. If you have any
stomach trouble, Mi-o-na will relieve
instantly.
But Mi-o-na, unlike most so-called
dyspepsia remedies, does more than
relieve; it permanently cures dyspep-
sia or any stomach trouble by putting
energy and strength into the walls Of
the stomach, where the gastric Juices
are produced.
A large box Of Ml-o-na tablets costs
but so cents at Talman &c Co.'s and
are guaranteed to cure or money
back. When others fail, Ml-o-na
cures. It is producer Of flesh when
the body Is thin; It cleanses the stom-
ach and bowels; purlfies the blood and
makes rich red blood.
