BILLBOARD MEN WANT
MORE THAN SIX FEET
INTERESTS PROTEST AGAINST
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
Dollars and Cents Enter Into Plea OF
Companies Which Object to Re-
ducine Height of View
Distractions

Complaints against the ordinance
pending before the city council limit
ing the height Of billboards to six feet
from the ground were heard before the
legislation committee last night.
A. Morteson. manager of the Thomas
H. b. Varney company, the largest
billboard concern in Southern Califor-
mia. told the committee that his COM
pany paid the city $1,000 every year in
license fees. but that much of this rev.
enue would be lost if the ordinance
went into effect, as IL would limit the
number of billboards that could be
used. He said that nearly all litho-
graphs come in the 10-foot size, which
is the average legal height of bill
boards all over the country, and that
these Autographs could not be used on
q six-foot board. He also declared
that the provision of the ordinance
regulating billboards in the fire dis
triets to be made Of metal would ne
cessitate their rebuilding all their
boards. He did not believe there was
much public sentiment against bill
boards in this city.
w. NJ. Ormsbee, president OF the Los
Angeles Sign Writer'S association,
made a plea for his craft. He said
that the ordinance would drive many
Of them out of the city. especially the
best ones. and this would be diSaS-
trous to the appearance of the bill
boards that continued to exist, as the
best sign writer's In the country were
to be found in Los Angeles. He said
many of these sign writers were edu-
Gated in their art in Europe. He sub
mitted a petition bearing several thou
sand names of citizens deprecating
any legislation that would limit bill
board exhibitions.
Charles King Of the King Advertis-
ing company appeared on behalf of ad-
vertisers who use the billboards. He
said that this was practically the only
medium of advertising some of the
smaller merchants could afford to use,
and their business would suffer If this
means were denied them.
Leon Labonde was the only one who
appeared to favor the ordinance. He
suggested amendments to compel the
users of billboards to secure permits
from the fire commission and to tax
the advertisers instead of the billboard
companies.
The legislative committee took the
matter under advisement and will
make a report on its recommendations
to the council next Tuesday.

Steamer Eureka Here
The steamer Eureka, Captain Poulsen, ar
rived today from San Francisco with pas
sengers and freight for the North Pacific
Steamship company. This is the first call of
the steamer at this port since she left the
Banning shipyards on Mormon Island, where
she was built ten years ago. The Eureka
has been doing good service on the run pe-
tween San Francisco and Eureka. She made
the trip here to bring an overflow OF 900
tons of freight from the steamer George w.
Elder now in drydock at San Francisco,
that could not be carried by the steamer
+. A. Kilburn on the Elders run. The dam
age to the Elder from her bump on the Hum
boldt bar at Eureka on her last trip down
the coast is estimated at $4,000 The Eureka
sailed for return tonight.
Since the little Eureka was built there
has been a wonderful development in the
passenger and freight business in and out OF
this port. She is only 4S0 tons register, but
at that time there were none of the big lin
ers calling here. The only steamers engaged
regularly in the passenger trade were the
old Eureka and the little steamer Coos Bay
now used only as a freight steamer in the
Pacific Coast companys service to way ports
between here and San Francisco.
Miscellaneous Notes
The Pacific Coast company's steamer Queen,
Captain Thomas, called today on the way
from San Diego to San Francisco via Re
dondo Beach The Queen is taking the run
and will resume her schedule northbound
fro San Francisco Saturday taking the
