FIGHT TO FORBID DAY
LABOR ON STREET DENIED
Supreme Court. of State Refuses to
Grant Rehearing of Contention
Made by Local Contractor

Rehearing of the case of A. st. C.
Perry against the city of Los An
geles was denied yesterday by the su-
preIne court. The case involves the
right of the city to do work under the
direction of the board of public works,
involving more than $500 without first
advertising for bids and letting the
contract to the lowest bidder.
Perry brought the action some
months ago. He was defeated in his
contention in the lower courts and
again when he took the question to the
supreme court on appeal. He held that
ali public improvement work must be
let by contract to the lowest bidder,
and that it could not be done by day
labor. After the supreme court had
decided the issues adversely to Per-
ry, he asked a rehearing of the case
This was denied yesterday. This set
files the case for all time and estab-
fishes the citys right to do work under
the board of public works in any way
il sees fit. Leslie r. Hewitt and Lewis
r. Works represented the city and
oscar A. Trippet acted for Perry

Within seven months after the we'd

Louise McCandless was made the tar
get for nine eggs, thrown with uner-
ring aim by her husband, William
McCandless, a salesman, according to
the story she told Judge Moss in the
superior court yesterday.
Mrs. McCandless was granted a de-
cree of divorce, alimony and the Gus
tody of two children. She testified
she married McCandless at Santa Ana
November 19, 1905, and reeited num-
ber of instances of alleged cruelty on
her husbands part, the first occurring
April 27, 1906, when, she said, he
kicked her because she refused to re-
move his slippers.
June II, 19O6,' added Mrs. Nc
Candless, ''he threw nine eggs at me
because 1 bought a ham and half
case of eggs without his knowledge
He also refused to call doctor when
I was i'll, because, he said, he wanted
to punish me for refusing to live with
his mother"

REFUSE TO PAY
ASSESSMENTS
DELAY BLOCKS
IMPROVEMENT
Private Property owners Settle Their
Share for Proposed Widening
of Sixteenth Street and
Want Work Done

To pay under protest their assess
ments for the widening Of Sixteenth
street with an agreement the money
will be returned If they win their suit
against the city, is the compromise sug-
gested yesterday by Chairman Wash
burn of the finance committee to rep
.resentatives of the Los Angeles-Pacidc
and Los Angeles Tnterurban railways.
The plan did not meet the approval of
the attorneys for the company, but the
matter was referred back to the city's
legal department to effect some kind
of compromise of this nature If pos
sible.
The proposition for widening Six
teenth street from Figueroa to Pacific
street has been under consideration for
about three years, but is still far from
realization, and the attorneys for the
railways declared yesterday the fault
was largely with the city's legal de-
partment.
When the assessment for widening
this street was levied these two rail-
way companies were assessed $4,000 as
their share of the cost of the improve
ment The other property owners in
the district were assessed about $61, 900,
and this money has all been paid. The
railways enjoined the city from selling
their property for delinquent assess
ment on the ground that poles, wires,
tracks and right OF way were not as
sessable property In the course of the
legal proceedings about a year and a
half ago the railways filed demurrer,
and it was the citys duty to answer it.
The railway attorneys said yesterday
this answer had never been filed.
Interested property owners want the
city to advance the $4,000 assessment
the railways owe land when the suit is
decided collect the money from the rail-
ways and place it in the general fund.
The financial committee does not ap-
prove this plan, but believes some other
compromise can be arranged.
