Attorney for Accused Man Asks Con.
tinuance Until March —Request
Denied by Court
A request for a continuance of two
months was cut down to two week?
by Judge Willis of the criminal court
yesterday In the case of Harry D.
Brown, the 300-pound broker charged
with issuing a worthless check.
Brown's attorney, A. A. Sturges, asked
for a continuance until late In March
when the case was called for trial at
10 o'clock, giving as reasons his own
physical condition and the assertion
that 11. R_ Zimmer, Brown's former
bookkeeper, could not be found. A
subpoena for Zimmer's attendance as
a witness was placed in the hands of
the sheriff in November, but no return
has been made.
Judge Willis continued the trial un

ponement was due to Attorney Sturges'
condition and not because of Zimmer's
absence. "I will expect the trial to
proceed that day," added the court.

Municipal Affairs
CITY IS PUZZLED
OVER FRANCHISE
STREET RAILWAY IN SOUTH
PARK AVENUE SOUGHT
People by Referendum Vote at Last
General Election Declared Against
Ordinance for Car Service
in Thoroughfare
More than 1000 people have petitioned
the city council to do something it
may not be able to do if it wants to
and would not be likely to do if it
could. That is to grant an electric
railway franchise in South Park ave
nue.
The council could not do this, as the
people by their votes at the last gen
eral election in December declared
overwhelmingly they did not want a
franchise granted in that street. This
declaration was made through a refer
endum vote to which an ordinance
granting a franchise in this street was
submitted.
The petition presented late yesterday
asks the council to advertise for sale
a franchise In San Pedro street, fiom
Thirtieth to Jefferson streets and then
in South Park avenue to the city limits.
This petition is headed by the South
Park Improvement association, and
then follow the signatures of more
than 1000 men and women, property
owners and residents in the district
which would be affected by such a
franchise.
The San Pedro street cars are oper
ated on the line for which a franchise
is sought, but it Is done under a lease
which the Los Angeles railway holds
from the city and for which a nominal
monthly rent is paid. The city council
can cancel this lease any time it wishes,
and can tear up the tracks In San Pe
dro street and South Park avenue.
The residents in this neighborhood de
pend largely on this street car line and
have tried before to have the matter
definitely settled by the council
granting a franchise for the line.
The South Park avenue line always
has been a bone of contertion between
the city and the Los Angeles railway.
Several years ago the railway secure!
a franchise from the council to build
this line. The franchise extended from
the Plaza south to Slauson avenue, in
Main and San Pedro streets and South
Park avenue. But the franchise con
tained a. clause setting a time limit in
which the railway line must be com
pleted. A portion of the line was built,
but only as far south as Thirtieth
street, before the time limit expired.
After the time had cpired the rail
way company constructed the rest of
the line to Slauson avenue.
Franchise Is Lost
Then the city's legal department was
called on to test the right of the
railway to the portion of the line south
of Thirtieth street. The matter was
taken to the supreme court and this
tribunal decided the railway had no
franchise. This decision was handed
down about four years ago, and when
the city attorney's department was no
tified, H. J. Goudge, who was then as
sistant city attorney, took a. force of
workmen and tore up a portion of the
tracks so the line was Inoperative.
When the railway learned the city was
determined to force its rights it se
cured a lease of the tracks from the
city council and has been operating
on this lease ever since.
About two years ago the council was
petitioned to grarft a franchise for the
portion of the line south of Thirtieth
street and passed an ordinance grant-
Ing the franchise. But before it could
become operative a referendum petition
was filed which made the ordinance
ineffective. When the ordinance was
referred to the people at the last gen
eral election it was overwhelmingly
defeated. One of the arguments against
It was that this street would be useful
for a municipal railway from Los An
gelea to the harbor.
The petition fnr the council to grant
a franchise that the people have said
shall not be granted has raised a deli
cate legal question the nity attorney
must decide. Can the council act con
trary to the wishes of the people ex
preased by a referendum vote?
The referendum provision of the
charter says nothing about future ac
tions by the council on a matter re
ferred to the people. But while the
city's legal department has not given
an official opinion on the matter, sev
eral members of the department hold
that the provision expressed in the
initiative, clause of the charter must
hold with the referendum If the refer
endum is to havo any effect at all;
that is, nn such ordinance can be
passed without reßUbmlllton to the
people. The initiative forbids any
amendment to an ordinance without a
majority vote bf the people on the
amendment.
COMMITTEE IS RECEIVING
MUCH JAIL INFORMATION
Council Investigation Promises to
Bring Forth Interesting
Facts
The announcement by Judge R. M.
Lusk, chairman of the council's legis
lation committee, that he would wel
come information that would help the
committee in its investiKatlons of con
ditions in the city Jail, has brought
much information that will be useful
to the, committee.
It appears that many citizens have
■Uttered insult and degradation from
the police department, but have not
been able to find any one sufficiently
Interested in their cause to take up
the matter.
Councilman Lusk announced yester
day that he expected to begin Friday
the investigation which President
Works suggested to the council last
Tuesday. The detective force will first
be investigated. President Works de
clares It is doing more work for the
state and county than It is for the
city which pays the salaries of the de
partment.
BOILER INSPECTOR TO MOVE
The council will be asked today to
sanction the plan of the board of pub
lic works to remove the boiler inspec
tor's department from room "A" across
the hall from the auditor's office, to
room -A on the second floor of the city
hull and prepare room "A" for the use

This room will be occupied by the
