Evidrntly they had planned on obtaining th license in Riverside county and then coming to Los Angeles to have the ceremony performed by a Greek Catholic priest.

ELEVEN CENTS War Futile Yesterday; Ize the price, it is said DEALERS IN NORTH PLAN TLEA TO LEGISLATURE SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 25.

(Exclusive) Although there was no change here in the gasoline price-cutting situation. East Bay retailers prepared to carry a plea for investigation of the matter to the State Legislature. W. F. Ostrander, attorney for the dealers and spokesman for the garage owners, the two groups recently having joined to the extent of an agreement on prices in the retail field, announced that the two groups are getting together a demand for legislative investigation and will take it to Sacramento as quickly as it Is completed.

"We will ask." he said, "that one of the Legislature's present committees, or a new one, be assigned to the investigation. The public is entitled to know what is behind tie gasoline war because the public will have to pay the cost when the gasoline market, retail and wholesale, is stabilized. "If 13 cents, the wholesale price quoted by the companies until the wax' started, was a fair quotation, then the prevailing price of 10 cents is unfair to the public holding oil company securities. If, on the other hand. 10 cents is a fair wholesale price, then during the long period the 15-cent quotation prevailed, the companies have bilked the public of millions of dollars." ill IP MADE ONLY WITH OS Make Ifour Home Waterproof Once and for AH, with 0 tDTKl You can permanently eliminate the possibility of water seepage from the ground, or absorption of moisture from the air, by using Monolith Waterproof Cement for your foundations, walls, basement linings and exterior plaster.

Efforts to bring an end of the price war were made yesterday but an agreement could not be reached. Major oil companies made nothere tonight in an enon to siaou move toward raising the wholesale cost and continued to deliver gasoline at 9 -cents a gallon.

A large number of service stations sold gas as low as 8Va cents a gallon in connection with an oil change, and some maintained a flat rate of 10 cents a gallon. Only a few of the stations held the price at 12 cents a gallon. Not many neighborhood stations agreed on prices, and. in every section of the city where two or more stations were at the same street location the prices were different Officials of the Superservice Station Association plan a mass meeting this week in an effort to fix a uniform scale of prices. The independent station men have organised with several in-dep3ndent oil producers for their own brand of gasoline, and almost 600 dealers began the sale of this product yesterday morning.

The independents say they will be able to meet any price offered by the larger corporations and still make a profit The situation other parts of the State Is similar to that in Los Angeles.
