WE THOUGHT OF MAUD JC.
MATTER FIRST SAYS S. P.


1--WE beat you to it," is the way the
Southern Pacific comes back at the
city council on the Maud junction mat
ter. Two weeks ago the council or
dered the Southern Pacific to remove
the Maud junction depot. as it is main
tained on a public street, which the
supreme court has decided the South
ern Pacific has no right to use without
franchise from the council.
Yesterday the Southern Pacific re-
piled by a resolution. adopted by it
self, wherein it whereased that it had
already made up its mind to remove
the depot long before the council sug-
gested it, but that it had refrained
from carrying its purpose into execu-
ton through consideration for the con-
venience of passengers in that vicinity.
but as soon as the published tariff
rates can be withdrawn legally the
depot will be removed" concludes

Municipal Affairs
SAN PEDRO CO. GETS
MORE THAN IT ASKED
Permitted by Utilities Board to
Put up Rates---HoIIyWood
Charges Reduced

It isn't often that corporation gets
more out of a regulating body than it
asks for, but such will be the case with
the San Pedro Water company If the
figures produced by Meyer Lissner,
president of the board of public utili
ties. yesterday are accurate. In a re-
port submitted by the board of public
utilities last week it recommended the
San Pedro Water company be forced to
reduce its rates, but in a supplemental
report submitted to the city council
yesterday the board recommends that
the rates not only be not reduced but
that in some instances they be slightly
increased.
The first recommendation was made
on figures submitted by the water COM
pany itself which showed an enormous
pumpage with millions of gallons of
water going to waste, apparently. The
board concluded that If this water was
conserved and sold the San Pedro COM
pany could make a larger profit at a
much lower rate. But evidence intro
duced at the hearing before the coun-
Gil last week showed that the reported
pumpage was far in excess of the
amount of water that actually went
through the pipes, and when the board
was convinced of this fact 1t revised
its figures. The San Pedro Water COM
pany wanted little time to get accus-
toned to the shock of getting more
than it expected, and the council post
poned the final rate fixing for this COM
pany until this afternoon.
The rates recommended by the board
for this company are chiefly fiat rates
on the same basis as the fiat rates
charged by the municipal water de-
cent. The rates begin at rs cents a
month for three-room houses and go
to S1S5 for larger houses. The San
Pedro company now receives fiat rate
of S1.50 from practically all consumers.
The Union Hollywood Water COM
pany was not so lucky. for the council
adopted the figures of the board of
public utilities and reduced the fiat rate
of this company from $1.60 a month to
S1.25 as a minimum charge for 800 cubic
feet of water, with charge of 13 1-3
cents thousand gallons for all in ex-
cess of that amount. The excess charge
has been 1615 cents q thousand gallons.
The council felt that even the charges
allowed were a little high, and If the
board of public utilities had recon-
mended a further reduction it would
have been made.
To obviate the necessity of these pri-
vate water companies the council yes
terday adopted a resolution calling on
the water board to extend its mains as
rapidly as possible, using the money
for the purpose that 1t intends to use in
construction of a building on its lot at
Fifth and Olive streets
Rates for gas were fixed at 80 cents
a thousand feet for all parts of the
city except the harbor end, where it is
fixed at $135. AS this is the prevailing
rate now there was little contention.

THOSE SHORT COATS
lkNUMERABLE EDITIONS TO

Serious Consideration Demanded on

when the short-coated suit for trav-

on The heads of the offenders.
Just as soon as a woman considers
her figure in relation to the garments
that she purchases will there be a
marked decimation of the ranks of
indiferently, nay, execrably, dressed
followers OF fashion.
Whether you be tall, slender or of
generous proportions, the question Of
the short coat assails you. Which
shall 1t be-?
The slender, sylphlike creature is
indeed fortunate in this age of sup
pressed curves, for her figure is able
to wear the short coat without the
annoying consideration of the pros
and the cons. Her coat may be belted

and TIE peplum can be varied in line.
cut away at the front or turned up at
the corner in military style at the
front lines or back. The slenderness
at the hips is the point that allows
this.
The short woman must be judicious
when selecting her coat. That model
that emphasizes length Of line must
be chosen. The long revers, the point
ed line at the bottom, the disposition
of trimming In long, narrow vertical
lines-these are the main guide-posts.
Stout women are less fortunate

When intended for indoor use the
settle may be left unpainted, though
a coat or two Of paint to make ends
and couch alike will cost little. If the
work Is done at home.
Fasten a thin mattress to seat and
back and fit to the settle a cover of
striped linen. such as Is used for sum-
mer furniture coverings. The two
toned gray effects are cooling and do
not soil 80 quickly as the more popu-
lar white.
The inverted lids are supplied with
separate cover of the linen. Where
the leg prop to the lid is used the
covering is fitted around 1t to give the
effect Of winged couch, the covered
lid extending beyond 1t.
None Of the woodwork OF the settle

cleaply by having an upholsterer cut

Stitched straps are excellent for all
forms. Embroidered plastrons must
- placed in advantageous position,
always keeping well in mind the fact
that decoration must not be obstrus'

they may be widely used.

stitched material give grace. but a

It were wise for the stout woman to

coat is decided upon.
One more point. Look we'll at the
skirt with which the short jacket Is
to be worn. Remember that here lies
the effect that will accentuate the
short lines, or serve to mitigate the
change that undoubtedly results from
this seasons note.
Whether the jackets Of shorter
length will be able to extend on into
the next season is a moot point, but
while they are here they must be
