CITY SUSTAINS PROTEST
AGAINST ALAMEDA DRAIN
Councils Action Blow to District
Assessment Idea

By a vote of to the council yes
terday waited to sustain the protest
against the Alameda street storm
drain. Those who voted to sustain
were Andrews, Betkouski, Washburn,
Whiffen, Williams and Lusk. Those
who opposed it were Gregory, O'Brien
and Stewart
If this action is to be taken as a
precedent it probably means that no
more efforts will be made to construct
storm drains by district assessment,
but that they will be built either by
bond money or general taxation, or
not at ALL
This storm drain has been denied
twice, once by a former council. The
engineer and the board Of public works
have been trying hard to establish
storm drains throughout the city, but
have gone against stone walls in the
council, because of the vigorous pro-
tests made by property owners who
are assessed to pay the cost.
The protesting property owners
want Alameda street paved so the
surface will take care of the drain
age. w. M. Humphreys, inspector of
public works, tried to explain to the
protestants and the council that the
additional cost for culverts and the
difference in the surface construction
when streets are paved for surface
drainage would very nearly Increase
the assessment for the paving to the
amount of the assessment for the
storm drain.

ALVARAD0 STREET MADE
BOULEVARD BY COUNCIL

The ordinance which makes Alvara-
do street from Seventh to Hoover a
boulevard and prohibits street car
tracks. pipe lines. heavy teaming and
other features disagreeable to a resi-
dence street was passed by the city
council yesterday.
Alvarado street has twice been i'm
proved at great expense to the prop
erty owners, but in some places it has
been cut into such deep ruts that
heavy traffic has used other streets.
Now 1t is to be paved with asphalt,
and as soon as the asphalt surface is
put on the heavy traffic would return,
unless prevented by the boulevard
ordinance.
1t was also proposed to use Alvara-
do street for a part of the proposed
crosstown car line and an application
for a franchise for this purpose is now
before the board of public utilities
But the boulevard ordinance will pre-
vent the car line on this street and a
franchise probably will be asked, eth
er in Vermont or Western avenues.

.R. R. FIGHTS PAYMENT OF
LONG BEACH ASSESSMENT

The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake Railroad company yesterday
filed in the superior court suit for an
injunction against II. L. Pilsbury, city
tax and license collector OF Long
Beach.
The plaintiff alleges that the city
council of Long Beach, in order to
construct a parapet along certain sec
tions of that municipalities sea front,
levied an assessment against the rail-
road.
The corporation asserts that the par
apet will do it absolutely no good and
that it results in no benefit whatever
to it's right of way.
It therefore asks the court to grant
II a temporary injunction, pending a
suit which will settle whether the re-
straining order shall be permanent
preventing the city tax and license
collector from making good his threat
of selling the right of way for the as
sessment that the city has levied.

DECLARE C0PP BUILDING ON
FOOT OF CITY PROPERTY
Council Values IL Inches Broad
way Frontage at $4,000

Is the Copp building on $4,000 worth
of city land? This is the question the
council yesterday asked the city alb
stractor, the city engineer and the city
attorney to decide If 1t is the council
may compromise matters by using the
south wall of the Copp building as a
party wall for the new city hall an
mex, unless it is determined that the
south wall is a party wall as it stands.
1t is declared that the south side of
the Copp building, which adjoins the
city hall park, is over the city's line
one foot, and this foot of Broadway
frontage Is valued at s5000 c. H. Nc
Farland, lessee of the Copp building,
denies that the city has any interest
in the land on which his building
stands, or that the wall is a party
wall, but he has offered to pay $50 a
month for light from the citys side of
the building.
When the annex is constructed a
light well will be built on the north
side that will light the Copp building
as well as the annex, and Mr. McFar-
land has offered to pay $50 month for
this light well. He has offered to pay
the same amount if the lot Is left va
cant, so that he may have light on the
south side of his building.
Councilman Washburn expressed op-
position yesterday to the city expend-
ing $4,000 or $4,000 for the construc-
ton of this city hall annex. He said
that 1t would be only a few years until
the city would have a suitable munich
pal building on the site of the Temple
block, and he believed If the money
were spent on the annex 1t would be
wasted.

Municipal Affairs
HARBOR BOARD FAVORs
C0MPANY'S PLEA To US.
Commissioners Indorse Lumber
Concerns Demand for
Reimbursement

Fulfllment Of pledges made by the
consolidation commission, and because
the course they pursued appeared to
be only common honesty, was the rea-
son the harbor commissioners gave the
city council yesterday for indorsing
the demand of the Consolidated Lum-
Der company that the United States
government reimburse it for dredging
a channel in the harbor to the north
east of the turning basin.
The lumber company wants the gov
ernment to repay about $4,000 that 1t
expended in dredging this channel,
and asked the board of public works
and the harbor commission to indorse
the demand. The board of public
works refused to take action because
it considered that it did not have
jurisdiction over the matter, but the
harbor commission indorsed it con-
ditionally.
The harbor commission refused to
indorse the amount of the bill. but did
recommend that the government repay
the lumber company the amount that
the government would have had to pay
to do the same work
The harbor commission filed a
lengthy document with the council,
giving a digest of all the evidence in
the case that had induced 1t to take
read. Instead, Stoddard Jess, presi-
dent OF the commission; T. E. Gibbon
and NJ. H. Newmark the other mem
bers, explained in detail.
The commissioners told the council
that the work done by the Consoli-
dated Lumber company was the same
work the government would have had
to do later in following the plans
adopted for the improvement of the
harbor, and that the improvement was
two years ahead of what could reason
ably be expected If it had been neces-
sary for the government to act. This
privately dredged channel has greatly
Increased the lumber business at the
port, for not only has 1t improved the
Facilities of the Consolidated Lumber
company, but has also brought the
Pacific Redwood Lumber company, the
Iargfiest concern OF its kind In the
world.
The matter was referred to the pub
lie welfare committee for further in
yestigation and recommendation.

IMPROVEMENT COMPANY
BRINGS SUIT FOR 500, 900

In the effort to recover more than
$4,000, the Huntington Park Improve
ment company yesterday filed two
suits in the superior court.
The first suit is to obtain $4,000 or
the return of stock valued at that
amount, and 1t is directed against
John S. Gortner, Robert N. Shaw, the
as the administrator of the estate of
Harry C. Ackerly, who died July 8,
1909, and the Park Land company.
The plaintiff alleges that Gortner,
Shaw and Ackerly, while directors of
that company, conspired to influence
it to issue 700 shares of common stock,
valued at $100 each, purported to be
necessary as part of the consideration
to be paid by the plaintiff company
for realty owned by the Park Land
company.
The plaintiff asserts that the alleged
necessity Of issuing the stock for the
purpose named as nothing but fraud,
and that the Park Land company
never received the stock, but that it
was really converted by Gortner, Shaw
and Ackerly to their own uses.
It Is asserted by the plaintiff that it
only recently learned of the fraud, and
now it is suing Gortner, Shaw and the
trust concern, as the administrator
of the estate of Ackerly, for the return
of the stock or it's equivalent in money.
The other suit is directed against
the same defendants, with the excep-
tion of the Park Land company.
In it the plaintiff asserts that Gort-
ner, Shaw and Ackerly, who consti-
tuted the Ackerly Sales company,
caused to be spread upon the minutes
of the plaintiff corporation an agree
ment between the sales company and
the improvement concern by which
the latter was to give the former a
commission of 1871 per cent of the
gross sales of lots made by it for the
plaintiff. The latter also was to pay
so per cent Of the advertising ex-
penses.
1t is asserted that the agreement
was repudiated by the stockholders.
but that nevertheless. the trio OBJ
tained $15,738.83, declared to be due
them as commissions.
The plaintiff AYERS that its total
sales aggregated 100000, upon which
ii realized $4,000. 1t wants judgment
against the defendants for the differ
eence between $15,738.83 and $4,000. or
S12. 1883, on the ground that per
cent was a reasonable commission for
the Ackerly Sales company to be
granted.

WILL INSPECT TUGS CITY
MAY USE AS FIRE BOATS

The harbor committee Of the coun-
ell will take trip to San Pedro this
week to inspect the tugs Warrior and
Falcon, which the city proposes to use
as fire boats. An appropriation was
made in the budget for the lease of
these tugs, and the fire commission
Yesterday sent a communication to
the council asking that the matter be
hurried, as the shipping in the harbor
needed protection. The Falcon has al
ready been equipped and is ready for
use.
Chief of Police Galloway tried to
induce the police commission Monday
night to ask the council for motor
patrol boat at San Pedro, but as this
item had been included in the police
department estimate and cut out by
the budget committee, the commission
refused to grant the chiefs request
and filed his communication.

COLEGROVE PLANS THREE
MILES OF NEW ASPHALT 7

One of the most important street
improvements that have been projected
since the paving of Sunset boulevard
is being instituted in Colegrove. The
Colegrove board of trade is circulating
a petition for the asphalt paving of
Santa Monica boulevard from Sanborn
junction to Seward street. a distance
of more than three miles, and that will
carry an asphalt surface almost to
Sherman.
When the pavement is completed 1t
is expected Santa Monica boulevard
will be the highway from Los Angeles
to Santa Monica, for it cuts off several
miles Of the distance now Travelled
around through Hollywood.
The circulators of the petition are
meeting with success wherever they
present the petition, for the property
owners who must pay for the improve
ment are enthusiastic over the matter

COUNCIL BURIES SIXTH
AND BEAUDRY AGITATION

The Sixth and Beaudry agitation is
buried in the files of the council for
that body yesterday unanimously voted
to deny the application for an excep-
ton from sthe residence district of a
lot at Sixth and Beaudry on which the
Davis-Standard Bread company has its
bakery.
The legislation committee, which had
considered the matter, assured protest
request for the exception would be de-
MED, but the protestants were not en-
tirely satisfied and filled the lobby Of
the council chamber yesterday morn
ing. When final action was taken they
left the lobby in q happier frame of
mind than they have been for several
weeks.

ASK BIDS FOR COMFORT
STATION IN CENTRAL PARK

Bids will be asked for supplying ar
tifcial stonework. fountains and the
proposed comfort station in Central
park. The council yesterday referred
the matter to the supply committee
when the park board asked that bids
be secured.
There is some question as to the
authority Of the council to advertise
and receive bids for this construction
work, especially the comfort station,
as the charter provides that contracts
for all public work shall be made by
the board of public works The sup
ply committee will go over the plans
and specifications and report to the
council, and the council probably will
authorize the board to make the neces-
sarY contracts.

CARS STOP ON NEAR
CORNERS WITHOUT A LAW

A popular delusion was dispelled yes
terday by Emmett Wilson, deputy city
attorney, when he told the council that
there is no ordinance in effect requiring
the street cars to stop on the near side
Of the crossing.
1.-THE council several years ago did
propose such an ordinance" said Mr..
Wilson, "but before it could be passed
the street car officials declared they
were willing to comply with the sug-
ordinance"
The matter was brought up when the
fire commission asked for an amend
ment to the supposed ordinance that
would permit the cars at Fifth and
Maple streets to stop at some point
where they would not interfere with
the new engine house at Fifth and
Maple.

TUNNELS UNDER STREETS

Tunnel building in the streets was
discouraged yesterday when the coun-
ell refused to grant franchise for a
tunnel to connect the W. P. Story
building at Sixth and Broadway and
the Los Angeles Trust building at
Sixth and Spring.
The application for the franchise
was denied because so many of the
streets are already honeycombed with
tunnels that may some day be an OBJ
stacle to public improvements.
