BEGGS IS REFUSED

.Judue BordweII Denies Restraining
order Preventing kittie Good

ing Next His Holdings

An order by David d. Beggs for an
Injunction to restrain Kittie Goodrich,
G.. A. Goodrich and A. Brownstein
from building q garage on property
adjoining his, which, it is alleged,
would decrease the value thereof, was
denied yesterday by Judge Bordwell.
The parties against whom the IN
junction was ordered sold lot ad-
Joining theirs to o. j. Flagg, with an
agreement made at the time that they
would not erect any barn, outbuilding
or any other building other than resi-
dence on their property. Flagg subse-
ouently sold his lot to Beggs and also
assigned the agreement of the de-
PENDANTS. 1t appears the defendants,
Notwithstanding their agreement with
FIagg. and which was assigned by him
to Beggs, began to build a garage on
their property. Beggs claims If they
are not restrained from building the
garage his property will decrease $1,000
in value.
Judge Bordwell in his decision of the
case states that, while the unsightli-
ness of the garage may injure the
property of Beggs, he could not, by the
terms of the agreement between Flagg
and Beggs, ascertain the clear mean
ing of the parties to the agreement.
He states that, taking all the facts in
the case into consideration, he would
have to refuse the order.

VIII Be Presented to
the Mayor

The hoodoo attached to the NUMBER

than a year ago. Charter amendment
No. 20 provides that weeds, rubbish
and other unsightly material may De
removed from vacant lots and the cost
charged up as a lien against the prop
erty, that connections with sewers and
other public utilities must be made
before the street surface Is improved,
that distractions may be removed

against the owner, and also provides
for the planting of trees.
In order to make this amendment
effective ordinances providing for each
of these four features had to be passed
by the city council, and this was done
Just before the former council went
out of office. The ordinances were
never presented to the mayor for his
signature, and Deputy City Attorney
Emmett Wilson found slight amend

of the costs must be made to all of

Thirteen Private Concerns in Recently
Annexed Districts Form Prob
lem for Collector Taggart

Thirteen private water companies
are delinquent in their license fees,
according to a report submitted TO
the council yesterday by c. M. Tag
CART. city tax and license collector.
License fees of these water COM
panies has been one of the hardest
problems Mr.. Taggart has had to
solve. Many of them are not profit
making institutions, but are operated
in connection with land schemes and
for the benefit OF persons buying the
property.
Councilman Lusk declared yesterday
the license fees assessed against some
of these companies are practically con-
fiscatory, and the matter was referred
to the finance committee for adjust
ment. The companies and the amounts
of their delinquencies follow: Windsor
Water company. $440; Moneta Avenue
Light and Power company, $42O; Stoll
Bros. & Ritzman Water company, S49O;
Hawthorne Water company, $440;
South Figueroa Water company, S49O;
Hollywood Water company, $50; Cole
grove Water company, $50; Greater
Los Angeles Water company, $3.50;
Vermont Square Water company, $3.50;
Star Water company, $50; San Pedro
Water company, $50; Long Beach
Water company, 800, and d. Mckay
Water company, 800.
These private water companies are
new problems for Los Angeles. They
have all been taken into the city limits
hv annexation and consolidation. For
merly not a private company of this
kind existed in the city and all the
water was supplied by the city water
department.
