SEM 'EM UP, J0SIAS! IT'S
ON YOU! WHAT'S YOURS?
Councilman Andrews Is Late and
Must Make Good

Now will Josias jeremiah Andrews
please come through with box of ci-
gars or "sodie" water for the crowd?
For the first time since his election he
was late at a council meeting yester-
day morning. 1t was two minutes af-
ter President Lusk had Justify raped
his gavel to bring the council to order
before the wheelhorse of the council
was in his seat. He was needed, too,
for a quorum. Councilman Washburn
is in New York, on financial mission
of great Importance to the city, and
will be gone three weeks. That leaves
the council with just six members, the
necessary number for a quorum.
At the last meeting, when two or
three members were late, it was unan1-
mously voted that the next member
who was late would have to furnish the
smokes. Andrews was strong for the
idea but he doesn't smoke, so he de-
manded that his share be soda water
He was the first one to bring the rule
down on his own head. Betkouski
wanted the punishment RENTED, but
Gregory moved to amend by making it

COUNCIL GRANTS FRANCHISE
IN THIRTY-NINTH STREET
Difficulties Smoothed Away, and
Line Will Be Built

Another victory has been won by the
board of public utilities, for the Hunt
ington interests finally have come TO
the terms proposed by the board for
the Thirty-ninth street franchise. This
franchise was applied for by Robert
Marsh, and the application asked that
it extend from Vermont to the west
side of Western avenue on Thirty
ninth street.
The board of public utilities saw
something that much resembled an
Ethiopian in the application, and gently
suggested that if the franchise stopped
on the east side of Western avenue 1t
would recommend that the council
grant it, but otherwise it would require
that a street be dedicated to the city
through the acreage on the west side
of Western, so that when the city
wanted a stret it would not have to
condemn a lot of expensive street car
right of way to get it.
MIR. Marsh had a stormy time with
the public welfare committee over this
feature of the proposition, but finally
came to terms, and yesterday the coun-
ell passed the ordinance.

Municipal Affairs
NOTHING To CONCEAL!
OF COURSE NOT, But
Council Forgets Inaugural Stand
and Holds Secret
Sessions

What is there about the atmosphere
of the council chamber that perverts
good, honest men into star chamber
confreres as soon as they are elected
to the city council? This is the ques-
ton that many a citizen is asking
these days.
When the new council was first
elected to office it was announced with
a blare of trumpets that there would
be no more executive sessions, that the
doors would be wide open for there
would be nothing to conceal. But the
present council is rapidly falling into
the footsteps of the former council,
and the council before that, and the
enc before that, and the first council
that ever deliberated the affairs Of the
city Of Los Angeles.
Last week these executive sessions
We're n umerOus and yesterday another
was held on the license ordinance. OF
course, every member of the present
council is above suspicion and not one
of them could be induced by a mer-
cenary public service corporation to
reduce fhe license fees. But no one
knows what goes on behind the closed
doors, al1d if there is nothing to con-
cedl In6l6 dpp6cIS llO IGdSOl IOI tOIl-
ceaiing IT,.
Gregory is "agin" executive sessions.
When the council wanted to shut the
doors yesterday he protested, declaring
there was nothing to conceal. He is
like Walter Wren, a member of the
former council. Wren was SO opposed
to executive sessions that he would not
even attend them.
BetkousAd is the boy that is strong
for fba MA foot p0nfaranpa
"Fire that reporter out of the room, .
he demanded yesterday when a news
paper man intruded on the councils
privacy
All this mystery was over the license
ordinance. The city clerk had re-
ported that the referendum petition
against the ordinance was sufficient
TO make it mandatory on the council
to submit it TO a vote Of the people
either at special election or the next
general election, unless the ordinance
was repealed. The city attorney ad-
yised the council that the old license
ordinance, which remains in operation
by the suspension Of the new, could
be amended
Finally when the council emerged
from it's secret chambers it revealed
that it had decided TO let the ordinance
go over until the next general election,
which is two years from last Decem-
Der. and in the meantime the old
license ordinance will do business just
as usual.
