COURT HEARS ARGUMENT
IN FURNITURE CASE
Protest Against Award to CaIifor-
mia Company Is Made

Brief arguments were heard yester-
day in the district court of appeals
on the application of Leonard Merrill,
a taxpayer, for a writ of prohibition
to prevent the county board of super
visors from awarding the contract for
furnishing the new hall of records
building, to the California Furniture
company, the firm that bid nearly
100000 more than the lowest bidder.
This contract was awarded on the
votes of Supervisors Eldridge, McCabe
and Nellis. while Supervisors Pridham
and Manning voted against it.
Leonard Merrill was represented in
court yesterday by Attorney e. G. CAL
usha. Attorneys for the supervisors
contended that it was impossible to
award the contract to any other bidder
because of the different specifications
and also that the supervisors had to
use their discretion as to the furni-
ture that was best adapted to the hall
of records.
Following arguments from both sides
the case was submitted on briefs. A
decision will be rendered soon.

Eighty Thousand Dollars of Prop
erty in Trust

A petition for the probate of the
will of James Pedgrift of 1925 Towne
avenue, where he died August 20, leav-
ing an estate valued at 10000, was
filed in the probate department of the
superior court yesterday by his nep-
hew, James H. Pedgrift, of Oakland
Cal.
According to the will, which was
made January s, 1910, Pedgrift entered
into an agreement with his wife, Anne

After that the estate will be divided
among several nephews and nieceS.
The estate consists of personal prop
erty valued at 5000 and realty In Los
Angeles and Hollywood valued at
$76,50o.
Henry G. Engelbrecht applied for
the probate of the will of Fannie c.
Kyle, who died in Santa Monica Au-
gust 20 leaving an estate valued at
$4,000 and consisting of mortgages,
notes and realty.
Edna c.. Perry asked for letters Of
administration in the estate of her
father, Charles Sales, who died August
20, leaving a ranch near Rivera, val
ued at $4,000. She and other daugh-
ters and sons are the heirs.
Leona P. Wood and L. M. Chapman
requested the court to appoint them
guardians Of the formers mother, Mrs.
Isabella Pigne- -Dupuytren, so years of
age, who, they declare, is incompe-
tent. She owns realty valued at more
than $4,000, being a one-half interest

NO DETECTION IN PARK
BOARD OVER BUDGET CUT
Central Park Improvements to
Be Restricted to Allotment

Did the park commission ask for
S97 900 for Central park merely to see
if they could get it? is a question
which puzzles the people. Something
like this suggested itself yesterday
morning when the commission held It's
first meeting after the budget had
been announced and did not seem at
all detected because the budget appro-
priated only $4,000 for Central park in
stead of the $4,000 asked for.
Commissioner Lippincott said he
had gone over the park with Archi-
tect John Parkinson, last Saturday,
and they had come to the conclusion
that about all the commission wanted
to do at the present time cocld be
done for the money allowed.
One $4,000 comfort station will be
built, instead of two, and probably a
$4,000 fountain will grace the park. Mr..
Parkinson has been told to go ahead
and prepare plans and specifications
and bids will be asked for as soon as
these are done. The commission ex-
poets to have Central park open to
