Allison has informed his police officers that they have no legal right to exclude unescorted women from San Bernardino bars and night clubs after 7 p.m. The order was issued in the face of a request by the Army to tavern owners to ban women without escorts from their places of husiness after that hour. Chief Allison informed his officers that the attempt to ban unescorted women from bars was a matter strictly between the tavern owners and the military authorities, but that there is no law to prevent women from entering any husiness establishment in the city. ARMY MAKES REQUEST The Army made the request In regard to unescorted women to the tavern owners themselves. It ls a move designed to prevent what the Army described as the spread of social diseases.

The county chapter of the Southern California Tavern association endorsed the Army's re quest and urged individual bar and cabaret operators to comply with tne Army. Most of the bars, as a result, have posted signs In their establishments saying that unes- corted women are denied admission after 7 p. m.

H. Jones, general agent for the Pacific Electric in San Bernardino. In a letter to John H. Osborn, clerk, the general said in part: "Through you, may I express to the cily council of San Bernardino my appreciation for the action taken wherein the Pacific Electric was permitted to make certain improvements upon their facilities serving San Bernardino Air Technical Service command.

Now thai these improvements have been consummated this depot is in a better position to complete its mission." Under the project the Pacific Electric relocated its Redlands line tracks to run east on Rialto avenue from street, instead of curving north to Third and the south again just before reaching Waterman avenue, thus eliminating curves which prevent handling certain types of railway cars desired by the Army.
