MILK FAMINE HINTED IN
A SUIT FOR INJUNCTION
Case to Compel FuIfIment of a
Contract Reveals Scarcity
of Liquid Food

Prospects of a milk famine in Los
Angeles are indicated in an injunction
suit filed in the superior court yester-
day afternoon by the Crescent Cream
cry company against Nicholas and
Peter K. Karalis to prevent the latter
from breaking a contract to supply the
big concern with milk from their dairy
farms in Los Angeles and Orange
counties.
In it's complaint the creamy COM
pany alleges that the defendants in
tended to shut off the supply OF milk
today because Of some features in the
contract to which they objected, but
which were not announced. According
to the wording of the instrument, how
ever, it Is believed that a higher cost
in the production of dairy products
in Southern California is at the bot
tom of the complaint
No action was taken in the injunc-
ton suit yesterday and Manager S. A.
w Carver of the Crescent Creamery
company stated last night that a set
tlement of the trouble had been ef-
fected yesterday afternoon. The con-
tract is effective for two years from
last April and the terms provide that
the defendants are to provide the
plaintiff with as much milk as is re-
quired at the rate Of $40 per hundred
pounds during March, April, May and
June, $190 during July, August, Sep
tember and October, and $2.10 during
November, December, January ami
February
In asking for a permanent injunc-
ton to prevent the defendants from
breaking the contract the plaintiff al
legged that if the milk was not deliV-
cred thousands of people in Los An
reles who have contracted with the
company for the daily supply of the
product would be unable to secure
enough for their wants.
The plaintiff alleges that the pasture
land in Southern California, especially
near Los Angeles and the coast towns
is fast disappearing in view of the
rapid advance in the growth of com
munities and the securing of the pas
ture lands for subdivisions and other
purposes. This feature is cited in the
complaint as making it hardship for
the big company to secure enough milk
for its customers if the injunction Is

valuable pasture lands on the border

Mr.. Farmer has been clerk Of the
supply committee for about three and
a half years, and has seen the position
grow from one of small consequence TO
its present proportions.
During Farmers leave of absence his
place has been filled by Roger A.
Woodbury., who was appointed by the
council on an emergency requisition.
AS there were no eligibles on the list
for supply clerk, this deficiency was
called to the attention of the civil
service commission by the necessity Of
making emergency appointment, and
the commission called an examination.
Half a dozen applicants took the ex-
animation, among them Mr.. Woodbury..
Three passed, but Woodbury. was not
one of these three, and as a vacancy
exists for which a permanent appoint
ment can be made the civil service
commission will insist that the council
choose one of the three 'eligibles.

ASPHALT IS CONDEMNED
IN STORM OF PROTEST
Council Voted to Construct Some
Streets with Cement, De-
spite Much Opposition

Cement, concrete or grouted ballast
must be used by the street railway
companies as a base for paving their
rights of way hereafter, instead of the
asphalt concrete they have been using
for many years. The ordinance requ1r-
ing this change, which has been under
consideration by the city council for
several weeks, was passed by that body
yesterday afternoon.
The ordinance was presented by Ho-
mer Hamlin, city engineer, who has
been trying to induce city councils OF
the past to adopt such measure ever
since he has been in office. He believs
and his opinion is supportd by state
ments from other cities-that with a
rigid foundation the pavement on the
street railway rights of way will not go
to pieces, as it has done all over Los
Angeles where the asphalt concrete has
been used.
The ordinance was passed by the
council in the face Of a storm of pro-
test from the street railways and the
Merchants and Manufacturers associ-
alton, represented in the council yes
terday by H. w. Frank. Mr.. Frank
said the merchants feared that the de-
lay to traffic occasioned by the neces-
sity of allowing the concrete to set for
a week or more before being used by
the street cars would be a serious detri-
ment to business. He presented petit
tion signed by 225 leading merchants
and bankers who supported his protest.
The ordinance was opposed by Will
liams and OBrien,. who voted no.
At the same time Mr.. Hamlin pre-
sented the pavement ordinance he also
presented one compelling the railways
to lay grooved rails instead Of Trails.
This ordinance was considered by the
council yesterday, but action was de-
