The Board of Trustees of the City of Arcadia met in regular session with .President ;'heeler in the Chair. Present; Trustees, Dunham, hfulter, Winkler and 71heeler. Absent: Trustee Granville. The regular order of business was suspended and H. Schuman and Joe Warshaw were called upon to state their reasons, if any, why the license issued to H. Schuman according to the provisions of Ordinance No. 103, should not be revoked. - Mr. Schuman was not present either in person or by an attorney. John Hylan, Attorney, appearid before the Board, in behalf of J. Warshaw. John P. Dunn, Attorney for the City of Arcadia, first ad- dressed the Board and advised that the question of revoking a City License had not been definitely decided in the State of Calif. but that it was his opinion that where a City ardinance provides for the issuance of business licenses and further provides that the Board of Trustees may revoke same if satisfied that the.con- ditions of the license or the terms of the Ordinance have been violated or that the license was obtained by fraudulent represen- tations or that the holder of the license is.an unfit person to be trusted with the privileges granted by such license, then,in his opinion, the Board of Trustees has the power 6f revokation. Attorney Hyland then addressed the Board and agreed with Attorney Dunn that there were no oases to settle the question in the State of California but that in his opinion so long as a man was conducting a business,.lawful in itsrlf, and according to the terms of the Ordinance, the business license cannot be revoked unless the State Legislature expressly confers 'that power upon the municipality and that this special power of revokation had not been granted to this City. Attorney Hyland presented figures to show that ISr. Warshaw was conducting a legitimate business of selling groceries, soft drinks, cigars, etc, and that his poorest months show the handling of $250.00 and from that to $500.00 and that therefore he was not using his soft drink and grocery business as a fence for the conducting of any other business. Attorney Hyland urged that the Board consider the matter and consider the man's family and asked that they work out some plan whereby Mr. Warshaw might be put on probation and -that the hearing be continued to see if he will conduct his business differently. He advised that Mr. Warshaw was trying to sell the business and do what the City wanted him to do, namely get out of town but that it was a matter.that would take time and that if the City compelled him to close his business it would make it just that much more difficult to dispose of the business. Attorney Hyland suggested that the Board require Mr. Warshaw to put up a bond and that he shall forfeit same if he does not abide by his promise to sell no more intoxicating liquors, as it was his opinion that ISr. Warshaw now fully comprehended the serious- ness of the matter and mould abide by his promises. Trustee Multer called Attorney Hyland's attention to the fact that there were rcases on the City records against thes establishment, 1 against H. Schuman and .4 against J. Warschaw and that Ur. Warschaw had promised faithfully each time to cut out the bootleg business and he considered that the City had been lenient enough with I.r. Warshaw without giving him another chance. City Marshal, H.M. Topping, addressed the Board and advised that Mr. Warshaw had been put on probation the last time he was arrested for bootlegging and given to understand that his license would be revoked if he was agein caught at that business. Attorney Hyland admitted that Ir. Warshaw had been warned but that he had never really feared that he would loose his business or means of livlihood and stated that he was sincere in his belief that Mr. Warshaw would do better from now one and if he did not, why then the Board might revoke his license. Attorney Hyland explained that Ur. Frank Siegal ,o-f 'San Gabriel owned the place having bought Mr. Schuman's interest the day after Labor Day,1923 and that according to the ordinance the owner was responsible for his agent and he knew Ur. Siegal to bectresponsible man of good's repute and that he would not tolerate violation of the law. He further explained that &:r. Warshaw was operating the business on a percentage basis. Attorney Hyland concluded his remarks by urging the Board of Trustees and the audiance to be a little lenient in the matter and grant Mr: Warechaw probation and agreed to do all in his power to influence I.ir.,Varshaw to conduct the right kind of a business. 45.1 Trustee Multer said that he had no confidence in Mr. Warshaw and that so fax as he was concerned he was opposed to the granting of any leniency. President Wheeler announced that the•Board, to a man, had no confidence in Mr. Warshaw, whereupon Trustee Multer moved that the City Attorney proceed with the action to revoke t #e business license in the legal way. The motion was seconded by Trustee Winkler and carried. Attorney Dunn asked IJr. Hyland, Council for I;ir. Warshaw if he- had anything to say relative to why the license should not be revoked. Attorney Hyland replied that the Board of Trustees did not have the power to revoke the license of Frank Siegal, who was the sole owner of the,place and had been since the day after Labor Day 1923 and that Mr. Warshaw was only emplyed by Mr. Seigal,gthat Mr.'Warshaw did not own the place or any interest in the place since Nov. 1922. Attorney Dunn called Chief Topping before the Board and questioned him as follows: Question? To whom was license.for last quarter issued? Answer: License No. 31 for quarter ending Oct. 31, 1923 was issued to H. Schuman. Question: To whom was license prior to this quarter jssued. Answer: License for Quarter IA_ey o July,l issued to J. Warshaw. Qustion: Was Notice of Hearing served on H. Schuman: Answer: Yes, by registered mail; date of delivery as-per return . receipt, Oct. 12, 1923. Question: How many times has Mr: Warshaw been arrested. Answer: Trice durin6 my administration/ Question: State circumstances of arrest® Answer: Mr. Warshaw was arrested the first time after Officer Bloomfield had picked up two Mexicans who were drunk from drinking cider which they had purchased from Mr. Warshaw. Mr. Warshaw was arrested-the second time after Officer Bloomfield had arrested two men with white mule whiskey in their ppossession which they had purchased from Mr. Warshaw. On both occasions Attorney Hyland appeared in Mr. Warshaw's behalf and pleaded guilty and paid the fine. Question: Have you any evidence as to the sale of intoxicating liquor to minors? Answer: No. Question: For what business, visa license issued. Anser:• Soft drink & refreshment. Attorney Dunn then asked Attorney Hyland if he had any questions to ask. Attorney Hyland asked Marshal Topping if, at the time of issung the license, he aseertAined if the business was to be confined to loft drinks and refreshments. Answer: Not especially, I took it for granted. The attorneyathen questioned Officer Bloomfield, Officer Cayer gnd Judge Horlock as to the manlier in which the business situate at Santa Anita Avenue and Huntington Drive had been conducted by Mr. Warshaw. Marshal Topping's testimony was substantiated by the other witnesses and the question of revokation of license issued to H. Schuman was placed before the Board. The City Attorney ad- vised that inasmuch as Mr. Schuman and -Mr. Siegal were partners at the time th license was issued, the revokation of said license would be binding as to Mr. Siegal, who is now sole owner. Trustee Multer moved that the following Resolution be adopted: WHEREAS a notice has been duly served on H. Schuman and Joe Warshaw and each of them to appear before this Board on this occasion at thid date at 7 :00 o'clock p.m. to show cause why the license issued for the business located at Santa Anita Avepe and Huntington Drive, Arcadia, Calif., which said license appears from the records of this City to have been issued to H.

R.H. Schwarzkopf then addressed the Board and said that while he did not believe that Mr. Hauseur was guilty of miscon- duct in office that from a psycological view point the office of Building Inspector should not be. held by one in the insurance business as it was only human nature to believe that if you gave the Building•Inspector the insurance on your building it would oil the machinery for approval and Mr. Schw,arzkopf suggested that the question be arbitrated; that the real estate men select one man, Mr. Hauseur another and the two men a third one who would settle the euestion of whether or not the Building Inspector should be engaged in the Insurance Buisness.

In response to a written request from Mr. Wheeler. President of the Board of Trustees, John James Backus, Building Inspector of the City of Los Angeles,made an inspection of the theatre building situate at 42 -44 Huntington Drive, and rendered a written report on same as follows: April 1, 1924. Honorable Board of Trustees. City of Arcadia, Cal. Attention Mr. S.H. Wheeler, President: Gentlemen: As per your written rewnest of Lurch 31, 1924, I have this day made an inspection of a certian building in the City of Arcadia, known as 42 -44 Huntington Drive. The building is 501 x 100' and the portion of it that is in- tended to be used as a theater or moving picture show is 50' x 6010 is of concrete tile wall construction and of one story in height, excepting on the front portion, which is in part two stories. This building is covered with a trussed roof, which spans the entire auditorium with the exception of some 2- inch pipe columns which are located approximately 6 feet from the walls under the cord of each truss. There is a stud partition across the front portion of the auditorium which partitions off a comparatively narrow lobby space. Through this partition are three exits, two of which are 48" in width and one 36" in width. • There is an exit on each side of the auditorium in the rear, each pf which is approximately 36" in width. The building contains a stage some 101 in width, with a proscenium opening approximately 22' in width, has footllghte Installed, presumably for the production of small plays. Immediately each side of the ticket office, at the front of the building, are two doorways for entrance and exit purposes. Each of these are 43" in width between the doors when open. Regarding this building, I desire to say, first of all, that the trusses are absolutely insufficient in strength for a structure of this type. It is true the trusses are carried upon a concrete column, but these concrete columns do not afford sufficient stability to properly support the roof trusses and the aide walls. The roof trusses being exceeding weak and absolutely inadequate to carry the load imposed thereon, are already badly sagged, with the result that the side walls have been thrust out of line considerably. Even the rear wall of the structure at the back of the stage is already out of line. The entrance and exit at the front of the building are entirely too narrow. Each of these doors should have a minimum width of not less than 5' in the clear. The interior lobby should be at least 2' wider than it is and all exits into said lobby at least 4' in width. The two rear exits should be not less than 5' in width for each one of them. The proscenium wall is of wood boftbtruction with wood lath and plaster. This wall should at least have been of metal lath and plaster, to insure reasonable safety from fire, and such metal lath and plaster should be on both sides of said proscenium wall. In summing up the result of my inspection of this building, I have no hesitancy in saying that in my opinion the building should, under no circumstances, be used as a moving picture show, theatre, or other place of public assemblage, for the reason that the walls are entirely inadequate in thickness and badly out of line, as before stated, and that the roof is absolutely of insuf- ficient strength and will in rW judgement continue to sag unless sometging is done to prevent it. In the present condition of the building, it is my opinion that should a slight earthquake occur, the walls of this structure would fall out 4nd the roof collapse. Respec$fully submitted, John James Backus, Trustee Winkler presented a copy of a letter from the Dept. of Safety, Industrial Accident Commission, addressed to the Chair- man of the Board of Trustees under date of February 26jp 1424, and asked that the City Clerk be instructed to read sameg which was so ordered. Trustee Lulter advised that in view of the fact that there had been several eomnlaints as to the safety of the theatre build- ing, he had called the Department of Safety in Los Angeles and ask- ed them to send out a man to inspect the building and had asked them to make their report on same to the Board of Trustees. This was done In the above mentioned letter which gave in detail the weight carried by the tr ees and explained that the weak point of the trusses was the 6 /8" rod holding the heel of the truss together and the 3/8" bolts in the bottom chord splices and suggested that the defects be remedied at this time to insure and safer and better building. - President wheeler advised that immediately upon receipt of the letter, he referred same to the Building Inspector with in- structions to see that the fault was remedied and was given to understand that it would be. Considerable discussion followed, participated in by Mr. Peck, Mr. Backus, Mr. Ress, owner of the theatre, hr. Bottema, the manufacturer of the blocks used in the construction of the theatre, lJ Mr. Parker, members of the Board of Trustees and others, after which Trustee Molter moved that the report of Mr. Backus be accepted and entered upon the minutes of the meeting. The motion was seconded by Trustee Winkler and carried. Trustee Molter moved that the office of Building Inspector be declared vacant on the grounds of incompetency. The motion was seconded by Trustee Winkler and carried. Trustee Molter moved that Mr. Topping be appointed Acting Building Inspector until such time as a successor could be appointed.

The motion was seconded by Trustee Winkler and carried. Trustee Multer moved that the President of the Board appoint a committee of three to inspect the theatre building to ascertain and report if the building was built according to City ordinances.

Gentlemen: After thoroughly inspecting the theatre and store build- ing located at 42 and 44 Huntington Drive, Arcadia, California, we find the same to be very poorly constructed and also not in so- cordance with the Arcadia Building Ordinance. The main roof trusses with a span of 50 feet are very poorly constructed. They have sagged from 3 to 3* inches, and if allowed to be used as construoted would endanger the lives of the public, and in our mind would be a criminal act. The cement and concrete piers supporting these trusses are small and very weak in construction in regard to foundations, rein- forcing and size, they have bulged outward from 1* to 2 inches. The exterior wall of building is too high for its thickness, not being built according to the ordinance governing the same. See Section 44. The height of an 8 inch wall should not be over 16 times its width, making about 1016" in height. This present wall is from 13110" to 16' high, and has bulged in some places as much as 2* inches. The operating room for the picture machines should be lined on all sides, floor and ceiling with sheet iron, also should have metal covered self - closing door and shutters to openings'in front wall for machines. The exterior walls of the room, as well as the ceiling of lobby and partitions enclosing the inside foyer should be covered with metal lath and plaster. This is a very vital point in regard to fires. The partitions at rear enclosing the stage and side passages to exits should also be covered with metal lath and plaster on both sides. The exits in front and in rear walls should be 5 feet in width in the clear. Taking the building in general, it is very poorly construct- ed and should be made safe for the public before being used, and we think that your Honorable Body should condemn it and insist upon its being made safe. We would suggest that the present roof anff its trusses be removed and replaced with properly designed trusses to insure safety. Also plate a 10 inch steel channel with cap and foot plate under the end of each truss on face of cement pilasters, with a new cement footing of sufficient depth and width to make a good bearing. The ceiling joist and roof rafters should be anchored to walls with -a" x 3" iron anchors, secured to joist, and anchors with 10" x I" "T" heads at wall, - these anchors to be not less than 6' o.c. There also should be two rows of•2" x 8" oross bracing between each truss, to make a rigid construction. It is unfortunate that the contractor should have been allowed to finish this building in the way that it has been constructed, as it will detail considerable expense in making it safe. We remain, Yours truly, Frank L. Stiff, Architect. John J. Bottema A.L. Parker. Trustee Multer moved that a warrant for $10.00 be drawn in favor of Mr. Stiff for his services. The motion was duly second- ed and carried. Upon motion of Trustee Multer, duly seconded and carried, a vote of than lrs was tendered Mr. John J. Bottema and Lr. A.L. Parker for their services. Trustee Multer moved that the appointment of a Building and Pilumbing Inspector be deferred at least until the neat meeting and if no emergency arises until the new Board takes office. The motion was seconded by Trustee Dunham and carried. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Parker and Mr. Bottema, the Board went into executive session at 9 :25 p.m. Open session was resumed at 10:00 p.m. and Trustee Multer moved that Air. Hess be allowed to complete his building under the supervision of a certified architect and in accordance with the terms of the Building Ordinancd. subject to final aoceptance by the City of Arcadia before occupancy. The motion was second- ed by Trustee Winkler and carried. No further business appearing, the meeting adjourned. i President, Board of Trustees.
