ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
FOR PAVING IS REPORTED

Assessment districts for two paving
improvements were presented to the
board of public works by the city en-
gineer yesterday. One is for the paw
ing, with macadam, of Slauson ave-
nue.. from Central to the west city
boundary. AS the right Of way Of the
Southern California railway parallels
the street on the north side and no
assessment can be levied against this
right of way the engineer extended
the assessment district to include
property for 1900 feet on both sides OF
Slauson. This win distribute the cost
so that no one property owner will
feel the burden heavily.
The board of public works believes
the assessment should extend farther
south and not so far north, and took
the matter under advisement TO de-
termine a proper district.
An assessment district for the paving
OF South Park avenue with asphalt,
from jefferson TO Slauson, was pre-
sented and approved.

EVENING NEWS FAILS TO
ESTABLISH ITS STANDING
Court Decision May Change the
Award of City Printing

The application of the Los Angeles
Evening News for an order establish
ing its standing as a newspaper was
refused by Judge Wilbur of the su-
perior court yesterday He found that
the publication between August is and
March l had made no effort to dis
seminate general news and that its
circulation was a doubtful quantity.
He said that the indications were that
it was kept going to keep the fran
chise alive"
The decision is interesting in view of
the fact that the News was awarded
the city printing contract. The appli-
cation was fought by the Los Angeles
Journal and a San Pedro publication.
1t is believed the contract will now
90 to the former.

Municipal Affairs
MAY COMPEL CITY TO
SUPPLY WATER SERVICE
Attorney Undecided Whether Mu-
niCipaIity Has Right to Re-
fuse Utilities Asked

whether the city has the right to
refuse water, sewage and other utlll-
ties to private property owners is a
difficult question City Attorney Hewitt
will have to solve and he confessed
yesterday he had doubts about the
matter.
The question was propounded to Mr..
Hewitt at a conference between MEM
bers of the water board and the boaru
of public works yesterday over prop
osition submitted by Lawrence b.
Burck. a prominent real estate oper-
ator. Mr., Burck wrote to the water
commission asking that body IL II
would be satisfied to supply water TO
tracts of land through pipes lald IN
private roadways. The water COM
mission was not satisfied with any
such thing. but it does not know how
the matter stands legally.
Mr. Burck is one of the real estate
operators who lay out tracts OF lanu
in cheap lots, but for two reasons ne
refuses to dedicate streets in these
tracts to public use, but holds them
all as private rights of way. one rea
son is that on a public street he must
lay a high grade of street improve
ment to conform to city specifications
The cost of this work, he holds, is too
great for the value of the property in
which he deals. A second reason is
that dedicated streets must conform
to existing street lines and 1t is not
always convenient for new tracts 10
be laid out in such a manner.
Mr.. Burck wants to lay his own
water and sewer pipes and then con-
meet up with the citys mains.
At the conference yesterday the
water board promised to support the
board of public works in every way
possible and will refuse water connec-
tions in private rights of way If 1t can
legally do so. Mr.. Hewitt will inves-
tigate and render an opinion on the
matter.

JURY TO DECIDE WHO DID
SHOOTING IN HOTEL ROOM

Further testimony was heard in the
trial of F. NJ Bell, accused of per-
jury, in Judge Davis court yesterday,
when employees of the Hollenbeck
hotel told of the shooting, which took
place nearly two years ago, when Bell
swore out charges of assault against
o. 2. Widaman and r. A. Sanger
which were subsequently declared
false. 1t was stated by witnesses that
Bell was very much excited after the
shooting and kept saying that the two
men had tried to kill him. The stories
of Sanger and Widaman and Bell are
contradictory, and the jury will be
given a chance to wrestle with the
problem as to which side did the shoot
ing this afternoon.

WILL COST HALF MILLION
TO WIDEN HILL STREET

Widening Hill street from Pico to
Washington will cost the property
owners nearly half a million dollars.
The assessment was filed with the city
clerk yesterday and shows that $44S,-
425.10 must be raised in the assessment
district AS the cost is much greater
than property owners had anticipated,
the council will probably be asked to
readjust the assessment.
AS an interlocutory judgment in the
case has been rendered 1t will not be
possible to abandon proceedings even
if the high cost of the Improvement
should be deemed out of proportion
to its advantages.
Property owners on Hill street ex-
peet that thoroughfare to rival Broad
way as a business street in the future
and a large majority are anxious for
the Improvement

The street committee was instruct
ed to confer with John Strongman re-
lative to changing the walk on Park
street leading from his properties east
to Main street, near the state bridge.
Mra Strongmen, 1t was stated, would
stand the expense of changing the
course of the walk provided the town
would fill in that section of Park
street which would be made narrower
by the Improvement. The trees now
on the curb, on the street, would be
on the inner side of the walk, which
would make a difference of about 10
feet in the width of the street. The
change would make decided i'm
