the matter of the Second street pave
ment several weeks ago, appeared be
fore the council and read an affidavit of
the foreman ot Polk & Smith to the ef

accordance with specifications. He said
he thought tbat the inspectors detailed
by the street superintendent should be

that the work on all streets examined
by them is properly done before any
euch street work be accepted by the

On motion of Mr. Munson the street
superintendent was ordered to instruct

oath by the inspectors as being properly
done.

REPORT OF THE CITY ATTORNEY,
Tbe oity attorney reported as follows:
In the matter of tbe communication
from John E. Jackson regarding prop
erty owned by him on Beventh street,
the original petition was referred to me,
and on my report, was referred to the
city engineer, I would advise tbat tbis
communication take the same coarse.
It was so ordered.
Ia the matter of presenting a lease
with A. Workman for tbe engine house
on Boyle Heights, as instructed by you,
I drew euch a lease and presented the
same to t lie city clerk some time since,
the only change being the amount of
rent to be paid. It will be necessary
only for the clerk to change the figures
from $30 to $50 per month in Baid orig
inal draft. So ordered.
I have prepared and present herewith
an ordinance of intention to widen First
street and take certain property there
for. This ordinance is intended to pro
vide for the taking of the De Halle prop
erty, being the only piece left of the old
First street widening. There is quite a
-mv now in the city treasury which will
be apolied toward tbe payment of dam
ages; and in case the property is not
appraised higher tlmn it was before,
mi o her assessment will be necessary.
Referred to city engineer for amend
ment.
In the matter of the petition of J. L
Manetield et al., regarding the change
of grode of Temple street, I inclose
herew th ihe necessary ordinance, aa di
rected by you. Tne next step necessary
to be done, is to instruct the city clerk
to advertise for proposals for performing
the work of ri-gradirrt! all ol the Btreets
affected by thie change of grade. At the
request of Judge Cheney, who repre
senteri a large nnmber of signers to the
protest, tbe matter was laid over until
the 15th inst.
AT PRIVATE EXPENSE.
The property holders were authorized
to grade, gravel, curb and otherwise im
prove certain streetß, subject to approval
by the street superintendent. After this
had been adopted, Mr. Dunn, deputy
city attorney, appeared and stated that
tbe ordinance had been sent in by mis
take, ao the ordinance was reconsidered
' and lost.
A RAILROAD STREET.
The city attorney submitted a draft to
pave Becond, between Lob Angeles and
Alameda streets, at the expense of rail
way companies operating street railroads
on that street. Went over the afternoon
■MSiOB.
SALARIES OF STREET DEPUTIES.
D. A. Watson died a report asking for
increased salary to his two deputies. He
says his chief deputy, Mr.'Stewart, gets
$80 per mouth, and his field deputy the
-tttue; that they work not only Sundayß
and holidays, but also work at nights
until as late as 11 o'clock He would
therefore ask that both of his deputies'
salaries be increased to $100 per month.
On motion of Mr. Mnnaon, tbe matter
was referred to the finance committee.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET.
The supply committee reported back
a number of requisitions from the
board of fire commissioners and recom-4
mended that ttoey be allowed.
Mr. Innes called for a reading in de
tail of the requisitions. He said there
was no great amount of money, and the
purchase of new horses involved an out
lay of $400. He thought there was less
than $6000 in the treasury to the credit
of the fire department for the rest of the
fiscal year, and he was in favor of going
ahead slow.
Mr. Munson eaid there was need of
horses to do the work of the tire depart
ment, There was one horse in eervice
at the Brunswick hotel fire last Satur
day, and this horse held up the neck
yoke while the other horße polled the
engine to the fire.
Mr. Pessell moved to refer to the fire
commissioners.
Mr. Gaffey—What's the good of that?
Those requisitions have just come from
the fire commissioners.
But the council favored the reference,
and so it went back to the fire'commis
sioners.
THE WEEKLY DEMANDS
came up, and one item was $10 for car
fare for the inspectors in the employ of
the etreet department. The whole
batch of bills passed, when suddenly
Mr. Nickell rose and said that there was
only one inspector in the street depart
ment in the employ of the city. All the
rest were paid by the property holders
The demand, therefore, was reconsid
ered and thrown out, to be considered
by the finance committee.
THE TANNERY ORDINANCE.
The city attorney presented an ordi
nance to prevent the erection of tanner
ies within the corporate limits of the
city of Los Angeles, except by consent
of three-fourths of the property holders
in the same block. The ordinance
passed ; ayes 9, nays 0.
INSPECTOR OF CEMENT.
There being a large amount of cement
at fnglewoof and no one there to inspect
it, Mr. Rhodes moved that J. W. Robi
nett he appointed to act as inspector of
cement at that point at $2.50 per day.
The motion was adopted, as Mr. Nick
ell approved tbe selection as being in
every way qualified.
THE SIXTH STREET MATTER.
The finance committee reported in
favor of cutting down the compensation
of the commissioners for improvement
of Sixth street, from $200 to $100, Mr.
Mcllmoil was in the council chamber
and said he thought that a reduction of
$60 was quite reduction enough. He and
his associates had given bonda for the
faithful performances of their duties and
this work had engaged their time for the
greater portion of 16 months. He did
not like the idea of going into the courts",
but said he would see his fellow com
missioners about it. The matter went
over to the afternoon session for further
hearing.
TITOS AND PROPOSALB.
The bids of the following parties for
construction of the steel tank at the
back of the city hall, were then read:
J. F Hilbrook,' $486 50; D. and P Lit
tle, $474; Union Iron Works, $330. On
motion of Mr. Peaseil, tbe bid of the
Union Works was accepted and the city
attorney instructed to draw a contract
in accordance with the terms of the
specifications.
The Afternoon Session
Was chiefly consumed with street mat
ters. The paving of Washington and
Nigueroa streets was put off for two
weeks, while tbat of Main street was
also postponed.
THE LOS ANGELES STREET APPEAL.
The special committee to whom was
referred the grading and graveling of
Los Angeles street from Ninth street to
the city limits reported tbat they had
examined the street and found it com
pleted according to the specifications
contained in the centract; and they
therefore recommend that an assess
ment warrant be issued in favor of D.
F. Donegan, the contractor. The report
was adopted—ayes 7, noes 1. Mr.
Strohm moved the protest be dismissed,
which was carried.
THE WATER OVERSEER.
The water overseer reported as fol
lows :
I would recommend that the target
shooting between Eighth and Ninth
streets, along the line of the z*nja 7, be
discontinued at once, as it materially
interferes with zanja work in that vicin
ity, and endangers the lives of my em
ployee who are at work on that ditch. ■
R. Bilderrafn, Water Overseer.
This communication was referred to
the board of police commissioners.
FRKD EATON'S STREET WORK.
An ordinance waß introduced to allow
property owners aligning the east halt of
Alvarado street to north side of Sixth,
Arnold street from Alvarado to Ronnie
Brae and 8; relitz from Alvarado to Prov
idence, to have such Btreets graded and
curbed, euch work to b" done t > the sat
isfaction of the street superintendent.
Mr Eaton was present and explained
that he owned one-half the property
upon the above alignments, and he
wanted this ordinance passed as he had
sold and was constantly selling lands,
the deeds to which demanded this im
p'ovement. The ordinance was then
passed under suspension of the rules.
mr. Watson's depitiks all right.

dent's two deputies $100 per month

ington Btreet west of Pico, upon which
there was a protest. Mr. Waldron ap
peared in behalf of the parties who had
protested and asked postponement of
four weeks. „
Mr. Nickell said the ordinance of in
tention had already passed. The pro
test was not a legal one, and he thought
the final ordinance should be passed
now.
The clerk replied that the city did not
aco/iire jurisdiction until one week from
today. The protest expired April 30th.
Mr. Nickell then moved the protest
he denied, as tbe 'signatures of many
signers were given without authority.
The motion carried.

a six foot cement sidewalk on First
etreet, from Boyle avenue to Evergreen

take effect July 31st, 1893.
The resignation was accepted, and on
motion of Mr.. Trask a committee of
! three was appointed to draft suitable
! resolutions of thanks to Mr. Friusuer
. lor his able and impartial administra
tion of school affairs.
APPLICATIONS FOR POSITIONS.
Four applications were received and
' filed from parties wanting positions as
teachera in the schools, and one appli
cation for the position of taak master for
drilling the High school pupils for
graduating exercises in June next, all ol
which were referred to the teacber3'
committee.
THE SCHOOL FUNDS.
Mr. Patty, from the finance commit
tee, reported the teachers' salary fund
to is*overdrawn May lat to the amount
of $13,178.45, and that the common
school fund was at the same time over
drawn to the extent of $12,613.02. They
also presented a number of demands
against tbe city with recommendation
that they be paid, and it was so ordered.
THE COOKING SCHOOLS.
Dr. Wills inquired what was to be done
in the matter of the cooking and sewing
schools. He said tbat the ladies of ths
Woman's Industrial association would
raise money enough to pay the salaries
of the Be wing and cooking teachers. All
they ask is suitable rooms to be fur
nished and materials for operating these
Bchools. The object is one that involves
but little expense to the city, and the
reason for having them conducted in the
school hoases, iB that school discipline
be maintained over the children,
which may not be the case if these
Bchools were taken outside of the regu
lar school buildings.
Mr. Stein moved to postpone two
weeks.
Mr. Ashman moved a substitute, to
the effect that the resolution be adopted
provided that sufficient means can be
had for the purpose of carrying on the
school and proper rooms can be had.
Mrs. Hughes said the tendency of mod
ern education was towards superficial
teaching. She knew of hundreds of ladies
who would prefer their daughters to
be taught cooking and sewing at schools
in preference to dancing or even music.
Since the introduction of sewing ma
chines, not one girl in five was a good
needle-woman; and not one girl in 20
could cook a good meal. Matters of do
mestic life that were taught every child,
40 yeara ago, were now almost forgotten
in the race for accomplishments. She
hoped the board would adopt the orig
inal motion of Dr. Wills.
On motion of Mr. Pattee, the board
adjourned to meet at Wednesday at
7:30 o'clock.
LETTER BAG. •
Mr t Randolph*!* Views.
Editors :!-.k\i d: I notice in yonr
issue of Friday, May sth, an article,
unsigned, giving an account of an at
tempt of a few "disturbers" to entangle
the Council of Labor with the People's
party. You have made certain state
ments of alleged facts, which are erro
neous, and as a member of this council
and holding an official position in it, I
deem it my duty to make the correction,
wbich you will please give publication,
in the interests of justice to all con
cerned. A proposition was received
from the Farmers' Alliance of this
county to participate in a social gather
ing, to be held by them on tbe Fourth
of July, for thi purpose of better ac
quaintance among tbe different indus
trial forces. Politics was not mentioned.
The proposition waß accepted, and a
committee was appointed to co-operate
with them. At a subsequent meeting
the power to act was taken from the
committee, who were instructed to in
quire into the nature of tbe former
meeting and report. No tattling was
done, as the records will show; neither
was there my attempt by •'disturbers"
to identify the council with the People'e
party. W. 0. B. Randolph,
416 Wall etreet.
