MOVE TO RECONSIDER LOSES

City Attorney Hewitt was allowed
$4,000 yesterday by the city council to
fight the injunction suit recently start
ed by the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph company in the federal court, to
restrain the city from enforcing the
telephone rate ordinance recently
passed by the council. Councilmen
Washburn and Stewart opposed the
granting of the sum, suggesting that
the city council should reconsider the
ordinance fixing telephone rates.
In the United States district court
yesterday Judge Wellborn, in granting
a continuance, expressed great unwill-
ingness to do anything that would
hamper the city council in its legisla-
tive capacity, and intimated that its
power to regulate rates is we'll estab-
lished.
City Attorney Hewitt explained to
the council that $4,000 would be re-
quired properly to defend the suit now
pending, inasmuCh as experts testlmo-
of compensation was demanded by the
witnesses he desired. He also ex-
planned that expense would be incurred
in the preparation of transcripts of tes-
timony. The money was transferred
from the general fund.
Councilman Betkouski introduced a
resolution to make the transfer re-
quested, and his motion was seconded
by Councilman Andrews. Before the
vote was taken Councilman Washburn
moved for a reconsideration of the tel
ephOne rates,

So 900, 900 NEEDED

ITO continue the building of the
aqueduct at the rate at which it should
be built we must raise in addition to
our sinking fund and the funds in
sight, at least $2,00OOOO, to be used be-
tween now and February l next, and
we should secure subscriptions for at
least another $2,O0O,O00, payable Febru-
airy /, 1911, to tide us over in the event
that the syndicate then abandons its
option.
Il understand that two insurance
companies have offered to buy S5O0,0OO
of the bonds each. Your finance com
mittee should, and probably already
has, taken up the matter with these
companies, to see whether or not they
can be induced to buy the bonds sub
ject to the option of the bond syndicate.
Los Angeles, by her wonderful
growth and prosperity, has made her
banks wealthy. These institutions un-
doubtedly would gladly come forward
in this, the city's time of need, with
subscriptions amounting to at least $2,-
600 900. 1 understand your finance COM
mittee is now working on this PROPOSE
tion, and also is giving attention to the
offer of other big institutions and of
our citizens.

SOCIAL CLUBS

I'VE are receiving many complaints
about the selling of liquor by so-called
social clubs. These places operate un-
der a state charter, and under the
present ordinances there seems to be
no way to regulate them. l would re-
spectfully urge your honorable body to
provide Immediately some means for
regulating such places, as undoubtedly
this is one of the greatest evils we have
to contend with.
"The city now has a good many au-
tomobiles and motorcycles. The ex-
pense of keeping these machines in
good running order is very large. Our
auueduct department has found it to be
very profitable to do its own ANTONIO
bile repairing. Believing it to be in the
interests of economy and efficiency, l
would respectfully recommend that
your honorable body establish a city
garage and automobile repair shop.
VOTING BOOTHS
IF every qualified elector voted at
every election, and took sufficient in
terest in his country's affairs to keep
posted and to vote ihtelligently, good
government would be assured. Untor-
tunately, at most elections but small
percentage of the registered vote IS
polled. one reason for this is the dlfl-
Guilty the voter has in locating MS Vot-
ing place. In many of the preclncts the
polling place is seldom located for two
consecutive elections in the same place.
I believe it would be well worth while
to consider the feasibility of acquiring
portable polling houses, which can be
set up in the street. The rents saved
in this manner would soon pay for the
houses, and the houses always could be
located in the same place, Beng 10
Gated in the street they would be the
more conspicuous and the more easily
found by the voter. I understand that
such portable voting houses are used In
san Francisco and other cities.

WAsHBURN,s ARGUMENT

In making his motion he said:
The city charter provides for a pub
lie utilities commission. The duty of
this commission is to make an eXamin-
alton of the various public utilities op-
Grating in this city, their property, their
revenue and expenses, and to report to
the council the rates to be charged to
the public that will yield fair return
on their investment. In conformity
with this provision the commission
made a report after what was stated
to have been a very thorough investiga-
tion, giving the value of the physical
properties of the two telephone compa-
MES operating in this city, together
with other information as required by
law, and a recommendation as to the
rates to be authorized that will yield
them a revenue of 6 per cent on the
amount of their investment.
AT the time this report was under
consideration by the council I made in
uuiries in this council chamber and
elsewhere as to whether there was any
question about the accuracy of the re-
port. have never heard it questioned.
l have no personal knowledge in the
matter, and under the circumstances l
am bound to believe that the report is
correct. My understanding of the law
is that no court in this state has ever
rate of less than 6 per cent.
This council ignored the report of
the commission and arbitrarily fixed
the rate materially less than recon-
mended by the commission, and as
result suit has been filed by the Sunset
Telephone company in the United
states court, asking for an injunction
to prevent the enforcement OF these
rates.
THE city attorney now comes to us,
asking that the council provide him
with the sum of $4,000 for the purpose
of defending this suit. He states that
on account of the refusal of the council
to recognize the report of the pubic
utilities commission the evidence upon
which the report is based is not avail
able that it is going to be long and
very extensive trial. The situation
seems to me to be about as follows;
In order to win, the city will have
to prove that the valuation placed upon
the property of the telephone company
Is greatly overestimated or that the
courts will reverse their previous de-
cisions and fix a lower rate than per
cent as a reasonable amount to be al
lotted them. Unless we do one OIL these
two things our case is hopeless. be-
lieye, therefore, that we are not JuStl-
money until we have placed ourselves
in a defensible position by adopting the
report and rates recommended by the
public utilities commission. l therefore
move a reconsideration of the ordinance
fixing the rates.
Councilman Betkouski suggested that
the board of public utilities be required
to turn over all data and papers in its
possession relative to telephone rates.
in order that the city attorneys office
might have the benefit of the informa-
tion which the board had secured.
President Meyer Lissner of the board
of public utilities happened to enter
the room as Betkouski was speaking,
any promptly informed the council that
I,is Office would be pleased to turn over
any information it had in it's possession
in order that the city attorney might
have the benefit of its Investigations in
regard to telephone rates.

propositions /, and enable the
bond syndicate to prevent the sale Oh

years, and at the end of that time II
could refuse to take any bonds; and
also enables it to tie UP the city's
sinking fund, so that it cannot be used
for the purchase of power or harbor

for a reduction in the purchase price to
par and interest accrued, which would
mean loss to the city of about 100000
The fact that the syndicate asks the
city to purchase at 2i5 or per cent
premium indicates that it believes the
bonds to be worth that amount on the
market.
proposition is similar to the others.
except that the city would be COM
PEELED to withhold its harbor and power
bonds for only one year.
"The foregoing will give your honor
able body some idea of the seriousness
of the situation. our fight for free
harbor has only begun, and in addition
to it we have on our hands fight
against the power trust of the United
States: for we must not forget what
it means to have a city of the size and
standing of Los Angeles point the way
to municipal ownership of power and
lighting systems.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-13
STAND FIRM

"If we stand firm and show the bond
syndicate that if necessary we can
finance these enterprises without its
help, there is still slight hope that it
may be induced to comply with its OPP
ton and provide the funds so much
needed at this time.
THE attitude of the syndicate and its
evident purpose to coerce the city are
made more clear by the fact that while
the syndicate, under the pretence that
the bond market does not justify it, re-
fuses to take any more bonds at pres
ent, other financial institutions are
eager to purchase outright $1,0O0,OO0 or
more bonds Immediately; but the syn
dicate so far has refused to release
that amount from its option.
Under the circumstances, it be
hooves US to consider what steps we
may take in the probable event of the
bond syndicate refusing TO take more
of the bonds.
