SCHOOL LEAGUE.

At a call meeting of the School I'M
provement League on November &c,
the secretary reported that the net
result of the Thanksgiving show was
$31. Treasurer reported it was de-
posted to League account.
The League has been called upon
for many necessities of the schools
comforts in the past month. The
following are some that have just
been paid, $27.50 for painting Win
dow frames and putting in new
lights, ETC., S14.20 for refurnishing
stoves, $40 for primary busy work
$25 for enclosing two rooms with
petitions to ceiling.
With an ever ready help to their
calls the League gladly received this
nice little sum made at their moving
picture show, and feel grateful to the
future for their generous response.
1t being the first affair given by
them this year.
Their next attention is to the con-
test work. They are bending their
efforts toward winning for these 800
children the piano, and the prospects
are so fine for having the new school
next October. In tn building a
piano would find fitting home, fol
there will be a beautiful assembly
hall. They are begging for support
and it would seem pity if the many
parents and their friends would see
these many little ones disappointed

ORDERS OLIVE STREET
TRACK LAYING STOPPED
City Attorney investigates Right
of L. A. Railway to P. E.
Franchise

John w. Shenk, city attorney, or
dered the Los Angeles railway to stop
laying tracks on Olive street, between
Sixth and Seventh streets, yesterday
morning, until 1t produces authority
for using the portion of the street on
which the tracks are being laid.
Mr.. Shenk is investigating the claim
of the Los Angeles railway to a fran
chise ION this portion of the street, and
believes that If any real claim exists
1t may be invalidated by the fact that
the railway has not used the block in
question for months.
S. M. Haskins, attorney for the Los
Angeles railway, claims that the rail-
way has q right to lay tracks on the
block in question. He declared yester-
day that the Pacific Electric had as
signed it's interest in this portion Of
the franchise, which is an old one, to
the Los Angeles railway, and that it
was the plan to run one branch of the
washington cars on the line that the
block on Olive street, between Sixth
and Seventh streets, would connect.
This block was a part of the fran
chise held by the Pacific Electric for
the Glendale cars that operated on
Sixth to Olive, on Olive to Seventh and
on Seventh to Figueroa. When the
Pacific Electric obtained a franchise to
run straight west on Sixth street to
