City Threatened With No
Bus Street Car Service
If Young Does Not Give In
To Council Majority
Relative to the ultimatum given
the city council yesterday by W. E.
Young, gasoline street car operator,
who waa recently given a franchise
to operate two linea here, that the
lines would not come In unless the
parking rules were changed, streets
repaired, and a certain change
which Young claimed had been
made In the franchise without hla
consent be rectified. Councilman
Rc'jeru made the following state
ment last night: . "I don't know
what has come over Young, I
received his letter today demand
ing all these changes. I believe be
la all right on one thing the par
allel parking. The majority of
people here want' that change any
way. We cretalnly have the rot
tenest parking ayatem now from
Mexico to Canada." .
Kay Franchise Not Clunged
Councilman West said, "I be
lieve we should call Young's bluff.
We certainly never changed any
thing In that franchise. Young
came down here and conferred with
us and finally marked up a copy
of a suitable franchise and It waa
given to Judge Gaghagen who made
a careful copy which was pub
lished."
Councilman Cofer was very brief
and pointed in hla atatement: "I'm
through arguing. It Young wants
It all his way the deal Is off as far
as I am concerned."
Councilman Stuckey made a
stemejtt, along the aame linea: "I
Just figure Young can go back to
Linton with bis car line It he wants
to. There was absolutely no change
tn that franchise."
Mayor A Clam
Councilman Balalger aald "Ycung
la not telling the truth when he
says we changed the franchise after
he left. He said the streets must
be repaired and we told him we
had no money to do It with. We
could change the parking for him,
but that's all."
Otto Lorenx. who Is a stockhold
er in the proposed Young car lines
said last night: "We can't take up
operations nere uniu mere is a
better spirit of co-operation. The
council acted very antagonistic at
the special meeting Monday night."
Mayor Goddard said: "I have
nothing to say on the subject."

FOR K. F. IS HELD

At the chamber of commerce dir

was the war time plan ot turning

starting tho day's work an hour
early and giving Klamath business,

extra hour of daylight on the end
of tho day. Ono ot tho directors

Beautiful City Is To Be
Rebuilt On Even More
Magnificent Scale; No
More Shocks Felt "
SANTA BARBARA, Calif.,
June 30. (United News) A
new magnificent metropolis
will rise from the ruins of
quake-torn Santa Barbara. The
spirit of the Spanish padres,
who founded the "city beau
tiful" in 1786, has been dedi
cated to the task. ' 1
A sinister fear still gripped
the hearts of Santa Barbara
residents. The earth still
shook at spasmodic intervals
beneath their feet. It will be
days before Santa Barbara has
dug: free from the maze of
wreckage. But tonight ' its
citizens prepared to rebuild
their fallen city.
A pledge to build a new' and to
build a better, more magnificent
city than that which has gone be
fore, was taken with almost solemn
oath by leading cltltens, gathered
under an ancient pepper tree In the
shadow of historic casa de la Guerra.
Damage Is 23,OO0,00O
Later officials met with Governor
Friend W. Richardson, who pledged
in behalf ot California, any needed
financial assistance - to carry oat
their ambitious ' plans. With prop
erty damage estimated at $25,000,
000, an appeal was telegraphed to
bankers of leading cities throughout
the nation, for contributions to a
$20,000,000 building loan. Another
appeal waa broadcast tor a $1,000,-
1000 disaster-aid fund, the bulk of
the donations to be returned.
Two Shocks In Afternoon
Santa Barbara's main boulevard,
from the old Spanish mission, erect
ed in 1780, to the California hotel,
completed less than a month ago,
was a desolate mass of dusty debris.
Buildings not wrecked by the first
great tremor early yesterday, were
shaken to the ground by a second
severe shock this morning. Recur

Two distinct shocks broke a halt
day of respite this afternoon. They
were felt throughout the city at
1:40 and 2:14 p. m but were not
ot sufficient intensity to cause the
usual crash of falling bricks and
stone.
Through it all the work ot clear
ing away debris and making ready
for rehabilitation goes on. Steam
shovels are kept running on a 24-
hour basis. - All available wrecking
