MAYOR HAZARD YESTERDAY
VETOES TWO ORDINANCES. -
Theß. O. Carr Electric Railway Franchise
Put in Limbo—The Mayor's Reasons—
The Broadway Opening Ordinance
Also Vetoed.
Mayor Hazard yesterday prepared the
following veto messages:
To the Honorable Council of the City of
Los Angeles:
I return herewith, without my ap
proval, "an ordinance granting to B. 0.
Carr and his assigns the right to con
struct and operate an electric street
railway along certain streets in the city
of Los Angeles."
The franchise in this case is a floating
grant to build six miles of street car
lines on any part of the twenty-three
miles conveyed by the franchise. Where
this six miles of road is to be built no
one knows except the grantees. In the
grant of a franchise, I believe the city
authorities should be advised as to
where the road is to be built, that we
may determine the expediency of grant
ing the franchise. A further and serious
objection to the grant of this franchise
in its present form is that after the con
struction of the six miles of road, the lo
cation of which will be fixed,
there will remain seventeen miles of
the principal streets of our city tied
up with an existing franchise that may
never materialize, and for three years
will stand as a barrier to the con
struction of other street car lines, unless
terms are made with the assignees of
this franchise. Why tie up 17 miles of
the principal streets of the city without
any consideration whatever, without the
payment of one cent to the city ; not one
cent to be forfeited in case of a failure to
build any or all of the road? No promise
is made to build any of it, and still we
tie it up for them for three years, await
ing their pleasure, whether they will
build any or all of it, and giving to them
the right to say |whether any other road
should be built in the meantime. If
they paid anything for this privilege, or
forfeited anything in case they did not
build, we might assume that it was their
intention to do so, but they do
-not. A blanket franchise like
this ought to be granted only
on such guarantees as gives us assur
ance that they mean business. Seven
teen miles of the streets of the city
should not be blocked from street car
improvement for three years, except for
good and substantial reasons, none of
which are given, us in this case. We
should leave to future administrations
the right to say whether additional fran
chises shall be granted, and to whom,
when the proper time arrives to build
these roads and not years in advance.
The municipal authorites at the time
will, no doubt, be better qualified to
pass on the expediency of granting fran
chises than we are, besides which,in the
meantime, these streets will not be
barred against the construction of other
street car facilities. An example ot the
injustice often done by existing fran
chises is presented on Spring street
between Second and Fourth streets,
where the Pacific Cable com
pany have interposed objections
to the use of that portion of Spring
street by the Witmer cable road
on the ground that it is already covered
by two franchises, notwithstanding the
fact that one of the street car lines, (viz:
the Fifth and Olive street), have long
since been abandoned, no cars having
been run over the line for months, but
it is operated to cripple the new road in
its endeavor to dispose of its bonds.
When these people are ready and de
sire to build any of the extra 17 miles of
road, let them apply on proper guaran
tee, for a franchise therefor, and it will
then be time to determine the question
of the expediency of granting the same,
and not till then*. If this franchise is
granted in its present form, it will es
tablish a bad precedent, viz: When a
person desires to build a small section
of street car line, he grid
irons the city, including the
section he means to build, and
provides in the franchise that if an
amount of road equal to what he intends
to build be not built in one year he for
feits the balance, he forfeits nothing.
The city, however, forfeits her right to
grant this privilege to others who would
build, and by this means all the streets
of the city might and probably would
be covered by prospective franchises
that become vital only when some one
is desirous of building. Look at the
franchise given to the Los Angeles, Utah
and Atlanticlrailroad company ; its vital
ity became apparent after years only for
the purpose of preventing other parties
from doing what they failed to do.
Another objection to this franchise
exists in the permission to erect any
kind of structure to support its wires.
It grants "the right to construct all ap
pliances, properties, structures and at
tachments that may be necessary
for the purpose of operating
" said road." The experience our
people have had with the Pico street
* line, extending down Seventh street and
other streets, is such that some
provision should be made in this fran
chise to prevent a repetition thereof.
From the beginning of this administra
tion we have been besieged by the prop

erty owners for some relief along these
streets, and your honorable body has
resolved time and again in favor of
granting them the necessary relief
against these unsightly poles, but so far
without success, and the present com
pany that has taken hold of and is going
to give life and vitality to this road have
substituted poles much more objection
able, in that they are as crooked as na
ture could well "afford to make them,
and they aTe in addition unfinished.
Ample provision should therefore be
made in this ordinance against abuses
in this regard. The kind of poles, if
any, how and where placed, should be
plainly stated in the franchise.
Respectfully,
- Henky T. Hazard, Mayor.
Los Angeles* October 10, 1890.
The second veto is as follows :
To the Honorable Council of the City of
Los Angeles!
I herewith return without my signa
ture the ordinance providing for t the
opening, widening and extending of
Broadway from Ninth street to a point
on the west line of Main street.
This is a work that is eminently prop
er, and later on should be taken up and
pushed to a conclusion. At this time,
however, the property owners have
barely gotten over paying for paving the
streets, and the improvement contem
plated by this ordinance is one that is
not needed at present. It is wisely pro
jected, I think, to divert business into
the street, but there is no immediate
demand for business property in any
part of the city at present that cannot
be supplied, and to saddle a large assess
ment on the property owners on
this street at this time, to increase
its facilities as a business street, when
there is no demand for business proper
ty, is to impose a hardship on them not
justified by any prospect of immediate
returns.
Our city is gradually recovering from
a period of financial depression, and
radical improvement such as this,
which involves the payment of a large
amount of money by the property-own
ers, should fnot be undertaken, except
where there Is an immediate de
mand for it, which is not the
case in the present instance.
Let the property owners have a breath
ing spell, and they all will, in proper
time, be able to pay their proportion of
the cost of this improvement, which
would work great hardships on many
whose property is encumbered if this
additional burden were saddled on them
at the present time.
Respectfully, Ac,
Henky T. Hazard,
Mayor.
Los Angeles, Oct. 10, 1890.

WHERE IS WILLETT?
THE INDIGNATION AGAINST SHER
IFF AGUIRRE INCREASING.
The Part Brother-in-Law Ball Played in
the Matter—The Norwalk People Want
to See Him—An Indignation Meeting
Called at Norwalk on Saturday Night.
Nothing yet has been heard from Wil
lett, who was snatched away from Nor
walk by Sheriff Aguirre and his deputy
Hammel, in sight of his wife and his
home, a few days ago, conveyed to Los
Angeles and turned over to the tender
mercies of a Texas sheriff, to be taken
far away in custody like a sheep or a dog,
without a chance of communicating with
those who loved him.
The admirers of Sheriff Aguirre, rely
ing on the prestige of one or two pre
vious captures,-'puffed up to heaven by
the Republican papers, until they smelt
nauseous, pretend to believe that Wil
lett's escapes indicates sufficiently that
he was a very dangerous man. If any
man. with the spunk of a horned toad,
had been dragged away from a happy
home as a badger is drawn from hishoie,
the sense of degradation, despair and
misery that must have entered his soul,
would have nerved him to more desper
ate deeds than that of exposing his life,
for the sake of escaping such duress and
of seeing his loved ones again.
But many people do not believe the
story of thb escape. They still insist
that Willett has been hidden away in
San Bernardino. From several officials
who went out to Norwalk yesterday, on
business, it is learned that the feeling oi
indignation in that township is intense
and still increasing. They say that Wil
lett was so little feared arid universally
liked that a ten-year-old boy could have
placed him under arrest. Another point
is this: Willett married, a number of
years ago, the daughter of Judge Holi
day, a respected member of the com
munity at Norwalk, who came to that
place from the same part of Texas that
Willett did. If Willett had committed
a crime out there, Holiday would have
known it, and could never have permit
ted his child to marry a cold-biooded
desperado, as Mr. Aguirre makes him
out to be.
Willett's sister married the man Ball,
who seems to be the prime mover of all
this trouble, and it is alleged that his
ill treatment of her, and Willett's sub
sequent protection of his abused sister,
caused Ball to seek revenge. He went
to Texas, hunted up some old indict
ment for a crime alleged to have been
committed over seventeen years ago,
and brought back with him a sheriff to
cause his brother-in-law's arrest and
return to Texas.
The feeling against Ball is intense. For
his ill treatment of his wife, a com
plaint was issued against him a couple
of days ago, charging an aggravated as
sault upon his wile before she left him.
He was arrested and expected to be
brought back to Norwalk late last
night.
The city officials who returned from
Norwalk last night said that it was very
possible that if any hot-headedness pre
vailed upon the return of the constable
with his prisoner, the latter might be
taken in charge by the excited grangers
and tarred and feathered for his conduct
in the Willett business.
Mr. Martin Aguirre may have be
lieved until yesterday evening that
Democrats were the only ones who
deprecated his singular way of arresting
and railroading a man away, but the
following telegram sent him last night
by prominent Republicans of Norwalk
will probably cause this illusion to van
ish more or less:
"Norwalk, Oct. 10, 1890.
"Martin Aguirre, Sheriff, Los Angeles:
"We, your political and personal
friends, will hold you in a manner re
sponsible unless the' body of Nathan
Willett is produced on the writ of
habeas corpus.
[Signed] "G. G. Tabor,
"O. Vance,
"The. Daw,
"Len Strong,
"L. Harris,
"W. Bowers."
The following dodger was being dis
tributed broadcast in this city, Norwalk
and that neighborhood yesterday. It
speaks for itself and needs no com
ments :
mass meeting.
"All good citizens are called to meet
in the town hall, Jiorwalk, ,vhere they
will be addressed in Spanish and En
glish on the arrest of Nathan Willett.
Meeting called to" order at 7:30 p.m..
Saturday, October 11, 1890."
The handcuffs* which Willett had on
at the time of his escape were said last
night to have been found at a deserted
blacksmith's shop, near Arrowhead
Springs. It is*presumed that he found
an old file in the hut and released him
self with it.
UNION LEAGUERS.
Hold One of Their Periodical Banquets
and Powwows.
The Union League held one of its pe
riodical banquets last night, and there
was a fair sprinkling of members pres
ent. The banquet hall ot the club was
profusely decorated for the occasion,
and an orchestra was in attendance.
Drinks both soft and hard were served
with the lunch to suit the varied mem
bership of the organization, and it was
remarked that some ot the most pruri
ent pillars of the g. o. p. grew hilarious
under the influence of the stimulants.
County Clerk "Jim" Meredith, the
gentleman who was so recently doused
in the soup by the Republican county
convention, officiated as chief cook, and
James McLachlan, Judge Clark and
other candidates for political honors
were pressed into service as waiters.
"Schonchin" Maloney, of San Fran
cisco, was one of the honored guests of
the evening and made a characteristic
speech, in which he claimed the honor
of having discovered I'ol. H. H. Mark
nham and having prophesied his nor
ination for governor more than a year
ago. The mention of Col Markham's
name, by the way, in any of thespeeches
did not bring forth the tumult Of ap
plause that might have been expected
from a club of which the candidste for
the gubernatorial chair is a member.
"Col." Walter S. Moore, was intro
duced to the meeting £s the "blue-eyed
boy of destiny," and proceeded to make
a speech, in wtich he confessed his
former short-comings, and made brave
promises of uprightness in the future,
in case he be elected to the state as
sembly. The union leaguers fairly
hugged him to their bosoms for these
declarations, notwithstanding their
former enmity for the .willy chief of the
Oro Finos.
Mr. Murphy, secretary and late acting
govrenor of the territory of Arizona,
made a speech, deploring the backward
ness of the Republican cause in that
territory, and appealing to the Republi
cans of Southern California for any help
that they could lend them. This appeal
did not meet with any encouraging ap
plause, as the gentlemen present seemed
to feel that the Republicans of Southern
California needed all the help they
could muster, at home this year.
Col. Brooker, of Artesia, the chief of
the pumpkin-rollers, Mr. Thomas of the
Second ward, Judge Carpenter, Judge
Clark, and other Republicans of more or
less prominence, spoke during the
evening, and the festivities were kept
up to a late hour. Mr. Thomas J. Car
ran, cljairman of the county central
committee presided.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Last of the Lindsays at the
Academy.
The Lindsay dramatic company play
ed Damon and Pythias. There will be
a Hazel Kirke matinee this afternoon,
and the season will close tonight with
the same play.
The Carleton Opera Company.
The Carleton opera company will fjfe
at the Grand opera house for the week
beginning on Monday, October 20th,
and will include such well known per
sons as Clara Lane, Clara Wisdom, Jean
nie Winston, J. K. Murray and a num
ber of others, among them.the new com
edian Chas. A. Bigelow. Mr. Carle
ton's company is singing at the Baldwin
theatre this week, and the papers are
high in praises of the company, pro
nouncing it far superior to $ny that
Carleton has ever had before. He will
open his engagement with the Bri
gands, to be followed by such prime
favorites as the Queen's Lace Handker
chief, Erminie, Nanon and Dorothy.
The Buried City.
A cable dispatch announced a few days
ago that a whole street had been opened
at Herculaneum, and that in the houses
everything was found just as it appeared
when it was buried under the scoria
from Vesuvius, in the eruption of A. D.
79. At the same time the city of Pom
peii met a similar fate. All will remem
ber Buiwer's graphic description of the
eruption just as the gladiatorial contests
were opening in the public arena, and
the way in which the girl, Nydia,
piloted her friends out of the ruins.
Since Buiwer's time, many magnificent
buildings have been uncovered, and ex
tensive explorations have been made in
to the heart of the buried city. Profes
sor Fletcher will deliver a lecture next
Monday night, at Los Angeles college,
for the benefit of the ladies' furnishing
fund of the Immanuel Presbyterian
church, on the subject of these later ex
plorations. His lecture will be intense
ly interesting.
James A. Heme.
The new Los Angeles theatre will open
its doors for the first time on Monday
evening, with James A. Herne, in the
beautiful play, Hearts of Oak. The ad
vance sale, which opened yesterday
morning at Bartlett's music store, was
very large, and the indications are for a
packed house for each performance dur
ing the engagement, which is for three
nights only. There will be no matinee
for this company, and as they carry
their own special scenery, etc., the house
should be packed each night, as the
piece will be produced in an excellent
manner. Hearts of Oak is a realistic
drama of New England home life, and
the company which Mr. Herne has sur
rounded himself with is composed of
American players, each engaged espec
ially for their part, and Little Hazel
Regan is one of the greatest child act
resses on the stage. Seats can be secur
ed all day today at Bartlett's, and by
Monday it is expected the box office will
be ready in the theatre for use.
The V. S. Mail.
Sale of seats for U. S. Mail, the latest
farce-comedy success, begins today at ten
o'clock at Bartlett's store. This attrac
tion is billed to appear "at the new Los
Angeles theater, beginning next Thurs
day, October Kith, and ending the
following Sunday night, including a
Saturday matinee. U. S. Mail has just
closed a highly successful season of two
weeks at the Bush street theatre, San
Francisco, where it was warmly indorsed
by the press and public as the latest and
greatest thingof its kind out. The Alta
said it was superior to City Directory.
New music, clever dancing, tunny songs
and laughable situations are advertised.
The cast is exceptionally strong and in
cludes the charming soubrette Georgie
Parker, the original Venus in Rag Baby ;
Frank David, a clever comedian of great
reputation ; C. B. Hawkins, last seen
here as Sergeant Brackett in Shenan
doah; Samuel Reed, Marie Bockell,
Maggie Fielding, of the old time variety
team of John and Maggie Fielding, and
a number of others.
The song I'm Not Baby McKee, which
has caused so much gossip, is a big hit
in fhe entertainment.

PARK EMPLOYEES OVERPAID.
Some Incidents at the Commissioners
Meeting Last Night.
The board of park commissioners met
in the mayor's office last night, Mayor
Hazard in the chair and Messers S. C.
Hubbel and M. L. Wicks present.
In the matter of the demands of A. J.
Gwynn, $31.49 for plumbing, and E.
W. Spencer, $50.82 for labor performed
upon the fountain erected in the West
lake park in June last, Spencer was
called upon to explain how it was that
these bills were so much in excess of the
estimate which he bad made before the
work was done when he informed the
board that it would not cost to exceed
$45. He admitted that he incurred the
extra expense without authorization to
do so, simply because he conddered
that such extras were necessary to make
a good job; whereupon on motion of Mr.
Wicks the demands were allowed to the
extent of $62.31, the sum of $20 being
deducted from Spencer's bill.
Foreman Jas. Spring of the Westlake
park, who was recently discharged from
that position for an alleged discrepancy
in his accounts, having demanded an
investigation, the matter was taken up.
Superintendent Le Grand stated that a
few months ago he was informed that
the pay-roll ol the employees at the
Westlake park was incorrect. Not being
able to keep track of the men's time
himself, he instructed an employee to do
so for three months, with the result that
Spring's accounts were found to contain
four and a half days too much in July,
nine days in August, and five days in
September.
John Stead, the employee who kept
track of the time, was sworn and stated
that according to Superintendent Le
Grand's instructions he had made entries
of the time worked by every man
employed at the Westlake park. In
reply to a question put by Commissioner
Hubbell, he admitted that he had had a
slight misunderstanding with Spring
about two weeks ago, but had not before
that time.
Stead's day time book was then care
fully compared with that produced by
Spring, and tallied in almost every par
ticular; but the latter's monthly time
book which was presented to Superin
tendent Le Grand every month and
from which he made up his pay-roll,
contained quite a number of discrepan
cies.
In the August account it was found
one of Spring's sons had drawn twenty
four day's pay, while the books showed
conclusively that he had only worked
eighteen days. f
Spring stoutly protested his innocence
NEW DEVELOPMENT
OF THE
Bear Valley & Alessandro Deveiopment Co
friiat will pleaae all those Fortunate ones who have purchased land in that
Known as the
Alessandro :-: Treict.
The Reduction of Water Rates
By the Company is a liberal concession and shows a fairness that is greatly appre
ciated by the large army of land purchasers who expect to
improve the land bought from the Co.
THE PLANS OF THE COMPANY IN DEVELOPING THE
PROPERTY.
It is but just and proper that the Bear Valley and Alessandro De
should announce to the people who have bought lands in the Alessa;
to the public at large, the plans of the company in placing those lan>
ket —so far as those plans have been perfected, and so far as they »
interests.
Before the plans of the company could be perfected, there v as- ucl a de
mand for the land that the managers felt compelled to offer the lan
On the spur of the moment the company adopted a water system ,
been considered best since to change ; but in making the change the cost ot tne
water to the land owner has been materially reduced, and hence no one who has
purchased land can take exceptions to the new program ; but. on the other hand,
all purchasers, so far as they have become acquainted with the new system, have
heartily approved of the same.
.It is the purpose of the company to have an irrigation district formed that
shall include the entire Alessandro tract, together with such lands [adjoining that
tract as it shall be thought best to include in the district. The work of forming
that district has already commenced.
The Bear Valley Land and Water Co. will contract with that district when
formed, to sell it two-acre water rights of the class B series from Bear Valley res
ervoir for each acre of land in the district, at a cost of $30 per acre, taking pay
therefor in bonds of the district at their par value,
This water right will be equal to that heretofore advertised —one inch to four
acres.
The Bear Valley and Alessandro Development Co. will pipe the water to each
ten acre tract of the lands owned or sold by them, as heretofore announced, and
other land owners in the district will have to arrange for their own distributio i if
water, which is to be delivered by the Bear Valley Company. The Alessardrv
Company will put in their distribution system on 8000 acres of land in time fo' ii
rigation next season.
The cost of the district system, as now proposed, as compared with the ]
set forth in the company's advertisements and options, is as follows: The land
owner will have to pay ti per cent, interest on $30 an acre, which is $1.80 per
a year; the rental of $5.56 an acre a year after he commences taking water,
making a total cf $7.36 per acre a year, in lieu of the $10 an acre provided for ir
options. This is a saving of over one-fourth of what the land purchaser expe
to pay. No water rental is to be paid by land owners until they commence n
water.
At the end of ten years the district will commence paying off the princip
the bonds, paying each year one-tenth of the face of the bonds. This will incr
the annual payment somewhat, but after the eleventh year the interest ace "i
becomes smaller each succeeding year, and at the end of twenty years the b Is
will all be paid off, and then the annual payment of the land owner will be t,
$5.56 an acre per annum—a little over one-half the amount the purchasers of land
expected to pay.
The contract between the Bear Valley Company and the irrigation district
will be such that the annual rental can never be increased.
The Bear Valley Company puts in the pipe line and canal to deliver the water
to thediftrict, and must forever keep those conduits in repair.
The water will be measured at the point of delivery within the limits of the
district.

and said that ii a mistake had been
made, he would endeavor to rectify it, aa
he "would never let his gray hair say
that he had taken a cent that did not
belong to him." He promised to refund
the money overdrawn by his son to the
city auditor when he drew what was
coming to him for this month, and then
withdrew.
After talking informally for some time
about the various parks, the board
adjourned.
Soon to Open.
The Los Angeles street and Pico
Heights electric railroad will probably
be put in operation soon after the first
of November. The great delay has been
mostly because of the impossibility of
getting the rolling stock. Mr. Hentig

the cars, which will be here in two or
three weeks, when the road will start.
