This ordinance has been before the council,. In committee, for several weeks, and represents much hard work, especially on tho part of the members of the legislation committee. It was : passed, once before and sent to the mayor, but so much complaint was made about several of its features that it was recalled and returned to com mittee. The hardest problem to work out was the license fee to be assessed against the gas and electric corporations, and this was adjusted to the satisfaction of the council Tuesday when it adopted an assessment of one-third of 1 per cent on the gross, receipts. This is not acceptable to the corporations affected, and there have been threats of proceed ing! in court to test the validity of special licenses. Under tho provisions of this ordinance. if It becomes effect ive, the Los Angeles Gas and Electric corporation will have to pay about $10,000 a year Into the city treasury In license fees. Under the old ordinance It pays but {2400 a year. ■* » » LUSK FILLS MEMBERSHIP OF COUNCIL COMMITTEES Andrews on Eleven Out of Fourteen, While Gregory Has Place on Nine Boards President I^usli of the city council has rearranged committees so that they will not nave to work .short-handed, as has been the case since Judce Works and Richmond Plant resigned from the council.
