8 Municipal Affairs OH, MY! THAT GARBAGE DUMP! TAKE IT AWAY! Housing Commission and Health Board Demand That Council Smother Annoying Odor The Ixis Angeles housing commission has Jolmd forces with the people who are de manding that something be done quick about the garbage transfer station at Macy and MISO streets and yesterday filed a petition ••king that some remedy be adopted as soon as possible. The housing commission says that its inspectors, who are paid by the city, report conditions at the transfer station in sanitary. There are a number of courts In WBlch the poorer class of people live In the vicinity of the station, and they don't like the smells and germ-covered flies any more than wealthy people do. The council overlooked its hnnd yesterday and didn't say a word about the garbage situation. The street c mraittee has been look- Ing up sites where Alexander can put his station without raising such a protest, but if the place has been found It wasn't nn nounced yeFterday. The board of health took a hand In the garbage game when at Its nie.-ting yesterday afternoon it declared the transfer Btation a nuisance and ordered the city council to abate it. The board of health has the power to have the council "pinched" if it cares to, and something like that may be done If the SIDESTEP, YOU SNAILS, WHEN THE GAVEL FLIES! The council ■esslon yesterday was the shortest on record,for the present council. All the business of the*' Week had b'en transacted by 11 o'clock, and It could have been finished half an hour sooner If it had not been thnt several hearings were set for 11 o'clock, an 1 Pave Carroll, tho minute clerk, and to kill time so as to keep the council together until that hour. Williams, O'Brien and Retkouskl were five minutes late and were called down for It by President Lusk. President Lusk has a well defined idea that when 9 o'clock comes on Tues day morning the members of the council should be In their seats, eepeclaly If tardiness causes a falure to form a quorum. Next time It happens he will throw his gavel at somebody. SECRETARY OF SEVERAL THINGS WRITES BOARD Eliminate tubercular cows from dairy herds and relieve Los Angeles milk consumers of that danger of Infection, was the suggestion of Dr. George H. Kress In a letter to the board of health yesterday. Dr. Kress Is secre tary of the certified milk commission of tho Lob Angeles County Medical association an.l of the public health commission of the Medlra' Society of the State of California, and th« opinion* of anyone with all that string of syllables after his name has to be respected. The board concluded the Idea was a good one, especially as an ordinance to that effect Is operative In Pasadena and will take steps to carry It Into action. 'WE'RE BEING STUNG,' SAY HILL ST. LAND OWNERS Protests against the assessment for the widening of Hill street from Pico to Washing ton were heard by the city council yesterday, but nothing definite was done. The matter was continued for one week. ■ More than 1400,000 mint ba rnlsM to pny the cost of dn mages awarded property owners. who give up strips of land to Widen tho street. Tho assessment district Is a narrow one, nnd consequently most of those In It think they ere being "stung." Councilman Gregory told the protestnnls that If they could figure out prime way to raise the money without hitting everyone In the district pretty hard his com mittee wouli be glad to listen to the sug gestion. DR. COLE TAKES HIS SEAT Dr. George L. Cole was confirmed aa a mem ber of the board of health by the city council yesterday morning, and in the afternoon he took hif new j"!i nnii helped along in the de liberation* of the hoard.

New Municipal Tax Collector Now Wants to Spread Himself "Qive us a place to do business where the clerks will not have to wear their earmuffs and mittens," is the demand of C. M. Taggart, city tax and'license collector, made of the city council yesterday. The council sent the request to the building committee, and some thing may be dona for Mr. Taggart and his clerks. The office spare of the tax collector's de partment Is so limited that the tax rolls have to be taken out In the corrldaxs so they can be fxoinlned by the people who go to the city hull to pay their taxes, and tho clerks have to stand out in the hall with the records. Every once in a while Taggart gets a hunch that he wants some more room. He Is now Ijir—<l over more territory than "Pop" John- M.n. the former tax collector, had, and John son's portly frame took up half the office space when he was in. The council recently I the boiler Inspector out of his room on the first floor and gave It to Taggart for license collections. But he. certainly needs more room, so does every other department in the city hall, but they don't get it and will not be likely to until a new city hall Is built, which seems to be off In the dim vista of a couple of futures. ROW IN OIL COMPANY IS ENDED BY JUDGE JAMES A.iairs of Big Sespe Concern Are Given Hearing in the Su perior Court A settlement of tho affairs of the F.lg Sespe Oil company, capitalized at $3,000,000, was reached in Judge James 1 court yesterday, when two suits by the company affulr3t its general manager, A. F. Johns, and others were conclud ed by Judgments and compromise. One Buit by the corporation was for the canceling of a contract by which the company sold 1,650,000 shares of the stock to Johns, on the ground that the 1 tter had secured the shares by a con spiracy planned before the organiza tion of the company over a year ago. It was alleged that Johns and W. P. Dakar had their sons, W. E. Johns and Frank G. Baker, respectively, placed on the board of directors in order to "frame up" the sale of the 1,650,000 i shares at 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cents a share, which they were alleged to have di vided among them. It was also claimed that they endeavored to nx matters so that the rest of the treasury stock could not be sold for less than 10 cents a share. The company filed suit against them to cancel the sale on the ground that the proceedings were fraudulent and made for the purpose of enabling the four defendants to reap profits which should have been made by the com pany. On hearing the evidence in the ens» as presented by attorneys for the de fense, and for the prosecution. Judge James decided in favor of Johns et al. The other suit waa by the company aeatn=t A. P. Johns and others for the cancellation of the sale of $800,000 shares of stock made for the purpose of leasing oil lands held by the com pany. In this suit a compromise was reached by which Johns returned to thn company E25.W1 shares of the Ftock, the court finding Judgment for tho other defendants named in the suit.
