CITY MAY FORCE CARS
TO USE SPEED0METERS
Slow Running Thought Move to
ThWart Administration

To pass an ordinance requiring that
all street railway cars be equipped
with speedometers, as check to the
tactics of the Los Angeles-Pacific COM
pany, which, it is charged, is attempt
ing to discredit the administration by
running it's cars slower than the ordi-
nance requires, thereby discommoding
passengers, was the plan proposed by
Councilman Miles Gregory at yester-
days meeting of the council.
The matter was brought about
through the reading of a petition from
citizens of Hollywood, who complained
that the cars were running so slow un-
der the new ordinance that patrons of
the line were disconnected in a great
degree Mayor Alexander flanked this
with a report from the chief of police
that the companies were not running
their cars at the speed allowed by law,
but at a much slower rate. Evidence
to this effect was also offered by
Councilman Betkouski.
The council decided to refer the
whole matter back to the board of
public utilities for an investigation.
