But Lew's attorney, David Self, criticized the court for making his client accountable for the drug problem. "Ve can't make landlords take up where government, school, churches and the rest of society have failed and left off," Self said in a telephone interview Tuesday.

"Landlords can't be expect to solve of all of society's problems." He said neighbors may have singled out Lew because he owns the largest building in a square-mile area where police have identified at least 13 drug "hot-spots." Self said he was discussing with Lew a possible appeal. SAN FRANCISCO A Berkeley apartment building owner has been ordered to pay damages to neighbors who filed suit to stop drug dealing on the property. Albert C. Lew has been ordered to pay $218,325 to 75 residents who live near his 36-unit apartment complex neighbors described as a public nuisance. Each will receive between $1,000 and $5,000.

"The property was at all relevant times being used as a center for sale and distribution of drugs," Alameda County Superior Court Judge Ken Kawaichi wrote in a May 14 decision ordering the damages. Neighbors celebrated the ruling and hoped it would discourage drug dealers. "The whole idea is we're taking back our neighborhood. Gov. Pete Wilson signs law Tuesday while state officials look on.

Temporary loans created for riot-torn businesses Jrj BALLET TAP JAZZ 1 26111 Ynez Road C-3 1 Blocks N. of Winchester 694-0075 Registration May 23rd 12:30 'til 2:00 for June Classes PROFESSIONAL YARD LANDSCAPE istration for low-interest disaster loans. So far, the SBA has issued nearly 9,000 applications for the loans in the Los Angeles area. The bill by Assemblyman Willard Murray, a Paramount Democrat, expands the availability of the loans by making victims of the riots eligible. The state-guaranteed bridge loans are available only to victims of natural disasters.

"Thousands of people have lost their jobs as a result of the riots. It's critical to rebuild small businesses, which provide most of the jobs, as quickly as possible," said Wilson. The legislation also allows the state to create an additional new account to guarantee the bridge loans for riot victims. The account will be used to reimburse banks for any loans that are not paid off, up to the guarantee maximum of $200,000 per loan. It also relaxes various requirements in the state guarantee program.

A federal loan applicant who obtains a bridge loan but is ultimately denied the federal loan can repay the bridge loan over a seven-year period. AID: Gov. Pete Wilson signs law making money available until federal help arrives The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Gov. Pete Wilson signed legislation Tuesday aimed at generating temporary loans for riot-damaged Los Angeles businesses to sustain them until they secure federal disaster loans. "These bridge loans will give small businesses the boost they need to rebuild immediately and revitalize communities devastated by the Los Angeles riots," Wilson said during a Capitol bill signing ceremony.

The legislation expands the state's program of guaranteeing short-term bank loans, called bridge loans because they cover the gap until a long-term loan is approved. The bridge loans can be obtained in a few weeks while the federal disaster loans take as long as several months. Bridge loans are offered by banks to businesses applying to the Small Business Admin Jackson calls for Marshall Plan in LA RIOTS: Civil rights leader recommends Washington politicians take the lead in rebuilding ravaged areas JENNIFER BOVIltSIAssociated Press LOS ANGELES The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Tuesday that nothing less than a domestic Marshall Plan can rescue America's inner cities but that neither the White House nor Congress appears up to the task. "We didn't see the Marshall Plan as a write-off.

We saw it as a chance to promote self-determination and a future market for our own growth," Jackson said of the postwar recovery plan for Europe. "Urban America likewise must be developed because it's morally right, necessary and economically feasible." The White House, Congress and leaders of both major parties have yet to advance a plan to tackle poverty in riot-ravaged South Central Los Angeles, Jackson noted. "Their vision must correspond with the magnitude of the task, but so far it hasn't," he said. "Washington, the president, the Congress have been in a coma. And people in comas don't see very far." Jackson was meeting Tuesday with church leaders, college and high school students, gang members and Asian Americans to discuss riot recovery.

Fifty-one people were killed in the riots sparked by the Rodney King trial acquittals April 29. Thousands were injured, and property damage estimates surpassed $750 million. Ten thousand federal and state troops were called in to help end three days of killing, looting and arson. Relief efforts continued on several fronts Tuesday. A federal commission offered to help send youths to rebuild South Central Los Angeles, and Gov.

Pete Wilson signed a bill authorizing low-interest, short-term loans to victims. A state board offered tax relief to home and business owners affected by the rioting, and police arrested seven people in the fatal riot-related shooting of a motorcyclist in Long Beach. Peter Ueberroth outlined his Rebuild LA recovery effort Tuesday before the Central City Association, saying the project was doomed to fail unless it was embraced by South Central residents and businesses. While it is still organizing, Ueberroth said the campaign also depends on aggressive government and private sector participation. "We have looked the other way" while urban conditions deteriorate, the former baseball commissioner said.

The state Board of Equalization, California's elected tax commission, extended sales tax filing deadlines and waived penalties for businesses affected by the riots. The board also approved refunds of state excise taxes on alcohol and tobacco products destroyed during the riots, said board Chairman Brad Sherman. In addition, it set a 60-day deadline for owners of damaged or destroyed property to file for a tax reduction. The need for assistance continued.

More than 700 residents and business owners applied Monday alone for state, local and federal low-interest loans, grants, tax assistance and other aid at relief centers. Hundreds applied at the Ambassador Hotel, opened this week as a one-stop relief center by New York developer Donald Trump, who bought the site in 1989. Ueberroth told the Orange County Register the effort to fashion a new economic base for South Central will rely heavily on volunteers, have about 50 staffers, and will require his involvement for at least two years before it can continue with its own leadership. Ueberroth said he was considering deploying business mentors, starting adopt-a-block programs and encouraging people to "take charge of their own neighborhoods." The Los Angeles Conservation Corps began a $250,000 fund-raising campaign to qualify for a $1 million federal grant to put youths on the front line of rebuilding in the hard-hit South Central and Pico-Union districts. The corps wants to send about 300 young adults and teens into those areas to distribute food, clean up damaged buildings, provide services to seniors and offer day care, said executive director Martha Diepenbrock.

With the grant from the federal Commission on National and Community Service, the venture could serve as a model for other cities, she said. Vmtkn!

The report was released Tuesday under a court order obtained by the Los Angeles Times, said Bob Pipkins, spokesman for the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, which oversees the CHP and conducted the investigation.

A spokesman for Gov. Pete Wilson declined comment. Agency Secretary Carl Covitz issued a prepared statement, saying the reprimand was appropriate and that the matter was closed. Portions of the report were deleted, including the names of some witnesses. Among the investigation's findings were: Hannigan apparently retaliated against Captain Fred Stiesberg after two of Steisberg's officers in north Sacramento arrested Maureen Hannigan in July 1990 for alleged drunken driving.

"Commissioner Hannigan loudly berated Captain Stiesberg about certain aspects of the arrest," investigators reported. "Commissioner Hannigan said it was personal not professional." Stiesberg was removed as commander of the North Sacramento station and put in charge of the CHP's force of helicopter and airplanes. Deputy Commissioner Helmick gave Maureen Hannigan her arrest report in the case. Under CHP policy, "the arrested individual cannot have a copy of the report unless the district attorney files a case against them." The Sacramento County district attorney never filed charges because the blood-alcohol level was a borderline 0.08 percent. INFLUENCE: The results of the investigation, made public Tuesday, ended with the commissioner's reprimand KATHLEEN GRUBBAssociated Press SACRAMENTO An internal state investigation reveals California Highway Patrol Commissioner Maurice Hannigan apparently intervened when his adult daughters received CHP tickets, sometimes shunning his own agency's regulations.

The report contradicts statements made by Hannigan last summer denying that he interceded on his children's behalf. Hannigan previously claimed such allegations were part of a smear campaign by disgruntled officers in northern Sacramento. "There is no evidence of a vendetta against the Hannigan children in the north Sacramento area or any area statewide," the report said. Hannigan was off work for an illness Tuesday and unavailable for immediate comment, said CHP Deputy Commissioner Dwight Helmick. "He stands by what he said then, that he did nothing improper," Helmick said.

Helmick said the report is inaccurate. However, he declined further comment, citing "legal ramifications." The state investigation led the Wilson administration to reprimand Hannigan last November for "inappropriate behavior and a lapse of professional judgment." However, officials initially withheld the report, VFREE NEXT DAY DELIVERY! Tuesday through Saturday. Sets 1 9. FREE SET-UP and HAUL-AWAY with any set purchased. -VFREE FRAME!
