MARKET PROBE
BY COUNCIL is
GOAL OF MYERS
Safety Board Head Urges
Changes; Cites Profit
on Investment.

Immediate investigation Of city
market conditions with view OF
obtaining city council approval of
much-needed changes, will be
rsought by Charles r. Myers, safety
board president.
Myers today said he will seek an
early conference with Ernest G.
Rojkey, council president, asking
appointment Of a committee from
the council to study market con-
ditions thoroughly, as was suggested
at a council meeting several weeks
ago.
The investigation was prompted
by councilmens delay Of action on
Myers request for a $500 appro-
pration to improve the east mar
ket, in order to fill vacant stands
on the Alabama street side Of the
}market.
Reported FavOrabIy
A committee named to investigate
need of the improvement reported
favorably, but action was deferred
until after first of the year.
Il think the council we'll could
afford to be more generous in It's
appropriations for the market
house, in view Of the fact it returns
a good profit" said Myers.
= In 1880, market leases brought
fees Of S37,45l, east market stand
fees we're 1884. while refrigera-
ton fees produced 1894, a total of
S56,877, and a net profit of 275 per
cent. Figures for 1881 are not yet
available.
only about $4,000 was allowed
IN the budget for operation Of the
market.
Still Returns Profit
Even allowing for taxes on r.
100000 mythical investment, $3.50.
and $4,000 mythical interest. the
market still returned a profit OF
nearly $4,000"
Figures of Myers are questioned
by Francis M. Coleman. deputy
city controller, who pointed cut
that to expenses of the market
must be added more than $4,000 in
police salaries, and various other
sums to cover costs of services
given by other city departments,
such as cleaning of the market at
might by sanitary board employees
and services Of health board in
spectorS.
Back To Indians"
IF we stopped to figure out all
The market costs the city we would
give it back to the Indians, Cole
man recently told council members.
, Among Improvements needed at
the market, according to Myers, are
ventilation system changes, sewer
repairs and a readiustment in stand
fees.
We couldn't close the market
without a howl from the public. so
we might as we'll put it in good
shape and increase its business, thus
increasing the city's revenue" My
erS said.
The city was given title to the
property with the provision that it
always maintain public market
on the site.

COURT REFUSES
DISMISSAL FOR
RlCHFIELD CASE

LOS ANGELES, April 30. UP)-
Defense attorneys prepared today
to present their side of the case
when trial of three former Rich
field oil officials accused of grand
theft is resumed next week.
Motions to dismiss the case
against the defendants were made
promptly as the prosecution closed
yesterday, and as promptly denied
by Judge Leon Yankwich, who IS
hearing the trial without a jury.
The motions were based upon the
claim that j. A. Talbot, G. M. Fuller
and R. w. Mckee, the defendants,
were without felonious intent in as
sertedly diverting large sums Of
company money to their own uses.
After explaining that he had an
ticipated the motion and had given
it considerable study, Judge Yank-
wich said:
THE legitimate inference which
can be drawn from the testimony
of the states witnesses is that these
funds were diverted to the defen-
dants without proper security or
guarantees that the money would
be repaid.
"These practices were continued
after warning had been given.
There was no provision for interest
to be paid and no system, either
annually or semi-annually, for the
liquidation of these accounts. This
evidence would warrant the infer
ence of appropriation of company
funds with felonious intent"
