THE COUNCIL. KX-MAYOB WORKMAN MARK 8 A GENEBOUS OFFER. He Donates a Park to ths City—A Lot of Routine Business Transaoted—The Ordinances Passed. The city council met yesterday morn ing with all the members in their seats, President Bonsall having returned the previous evening from his trip to the north. Edward Leak, as a representative of the committee appointed by a mass meeting held in Opera hous'i hall on Saturday night on the opening of Log Angeles street, from Second to Shafer streets, stated that the work would cost the people within the next ninety days $87,448.73, and would not benefit them in the least. The city attorney stated that the work had paised out of the hands of the council, and was in the bands of the Btreet superintendent. If the judge's decision regarding Third street was sus tained by the supreme court, Los An geles street could not be opened, and until the supreme court had considered the matter, he was in favor of the grant ing of a temporary injunction, which would deter the work. The committee retired with this information, stating that tiiey would return in the afternoon. A motion was made to the effect that the city attorney should afford the peti tioners all the aid possible in delaying the work for a time. The street superintendent reported the change of the curb on Hope street, be tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, as having been effected. He also reported against signing a contract for the grading of Centennial street, for tho reason that the Temple-street grade bad not been established, and was in 'the courts, so that it was impossible to .grade it to the grade of Temple street. He further protested against the manner in which the contractor was construct ing the approaches to the Ninth-street bridge. Permission was asked to round the curbing at Seventh street and Grand avenue, as the present space between the curb and the car track was but five feet, not giving room for the passage of teams. The various sections of the re port were referred to the proper commit tees. The health officer's report, in specify ing what proposals for the care of sprinkling hydrants shall include, sug gested that the contractor should keep all the hydrants used by the health de partment, numbering 140, in perfect re pair; also all fire hydrants to winch sprinkling hydrants are attached, num bering 110. Any and all of the hydrants which may be broken or so damaged ac cidentally as to be useless for the pur poses for which they were erected to be replaced by good hydrants without ex tra cost to the city. All labor and ma terial furnished by the city without extra cost to the city. Proposals should ■ clearly state for what sum the contract would be taken, and all bids accom panied by a certified check. All repairs to be made at the direction of the health officer. The report was adopted without dis cussion. The matter of the regrading of Macy street and the extension of Bridge street reported upon by the board of public works, came up for discussion and was referred to a committee of the whole. On the recommendation of the sewer committee, the proposal of J. L. Mans field, to construct the Downey-avenue sewer, for $0.30 per lineal foot, was ac cepted. The city attorney reported in favor of filing the maps of the proposed exten sion of Santee street, also the petition of Regina Weinshank, regarding the ■ extension of Second street, which rec- ommendations were adopted without comment. He was also given a week's further time to prepare the ordinance abandoning the city's right to Broadway between Ninth and Pico streets. Councilman Summerland presented an ordinance for the opening of Yignea street, making it a fifty-foot street. Mr. Rees wanted it a sixty-foot street, and' after some discussion it was referred back to the councilman of the Eighth ward. The special committee on bank li censes offered the following report: "We, your special committee ap pointed to prepare a graduated scale of licenses for banks doing business in the city, bee leave to recommend as follows: That a minimum rate of $10 per month be charged all banks, except national banks, doing business in the city, hav ing a capital of $100,000 or less, and all national banks, whose capital exceeds $100,000, pay a-license of $10 per month for each $100,000 of capital." The report was finally adopted, after much discussion, also making national banks pay an extra $10 for any fractional part of $100,000 exceeding $50",000. After all the discussion and wrangling, it was a very pleasant incident when a lady appeared upon the floor with a munificent offer to the city. The lady was Mrs. McComas, and she was en trusted with the presentation of the fol lowing com munication: To the Honorable City Council: "At the suggestion of Mrs. Judge Mc- Comas, Mrs. Dr. Carlisle and other ladies of the committee, 1 hereby offer to donate to the city of Los Angeles, for public park purposes only, and forever, -a tract of land on Boyle Heights, front ing about 360 feet on the south side of Louisiana avenue, at the head of Cum mings street, *o a point 500 feet in depth; provided the city will furnish sufficient funds to commence improving and beautifying the same within thirty days, and prosecute said work continu ously until completed, not exceeding six months, and maintain the same as a public park forever. "I further agree to give the city the fr9e use of my cement reservoir, hold ing 300,000 gallons of water, and also the use of a six-inch pipe leading past the tract when not in use by Mrs. E. Hollenbeck or myself, the city owning and furnishing the water necessary to irrigate said tract. "Respectfully, W. H. Workman." The matter was referred to the land committee. A franchise was granted to the Belt ■ electric road to operate the Depot rail way with electricity. An ordinance was passed ordering Mar 'Chessault street from New High street to Upper Main street macadamized with porphyry; also one ordering Grand ave nue sidewalked on' both sides with ce ment from Filth to Seventh street. Mr. Rhodes moved that the Btreet su perintendent permit propertyi holders to make connection with the sewers, wbich was done. AFTERNOON SESSION. Specifications for repairing sprinkling hydrants, recommended by the supply committee, were adopted. The usual number of petitions were read and referred. The hearing in the protest of Mrs. Be palveda, against the opening of Kohler street, was set for next Monday at 2 o'clock. The city engineer reported plans for the State-street bridge approaches. On motion the plans were adopted by the council and the clerk ordered to adver tise for bids. Specifications for bitumin ous lime rock paving with porphyry foundations were also presented and re ferred to the board of public works. The city engineer also recommended that the clerk advertise for bids for 5250 feet of vitrified salt-glazed sewer pipe to lay a portion of the intercepting sewer in place of the brickwork proposed. An ordinance of intention was pre sented by the city engineer to grade Alameda street from Sixth to Seventh ; Central avenue from Sixth to Seventh : Kohler street from Sixth to Seventh ; Wild street from Kohler street to Ala meda, and Easton street from Kohler to Alameda. The ordinance passed, tinder suspension of the rules. An ordinance of intention to improve Eleventh street by laying a four-foot sidewalk on the north side from San Pedro to Main was referred to the board of public works. The final ordinance to establish the grade of Fireman street from Temple to the southern terminus was passed, under suspension of the rules. A motion for the placing of sprinkling hydrants at,Pico and Wright and Ninth and Broadway was referred to the board of health. A resolution allowing the electric rail way to lay vitrified brick at the side of tracks instead of granite blocks, was re ferred to board of public works. A resolution that the grade be estab lished on Fourth street from Los Angeles to San Pedro, to allow the electric road to lay its tracks, was also referred to the board of public works. A resolution calling for the clearing of gutters on Wilmington street from Re quena to Jackson was passed. A communication from Mrs. Hollen beck and Mrs. Workman was read, offer ing to turn into the city treasury all money received for sewer right of wav if the city would replace the arroyo bridge within twenty days. R. S. Baker was given permission to cover the granite blocks in front of his property on Main street with bituminous lime rock. All the demands from the supply com mittee were approved. City tax and license collector was granted a leave of absence for ten days during the month of June. THE COURTS. AN IMPORT ANT 5 DECISION MADE BY JUDGE VAN DYKE. The Cemet'ry Association vs. the City. Aaron Abbott on Trial for Perjury. Pouyfouroat vs. Nordholt. Judge Van Dyke yesterday banded down an important decision in the case of the Loa Angeles Cemetery association vs. the City of Los Angeles, with judg ment and findings in favor of the de fendant. The case involves a new point of law in regard to the dedication of land to public uses, and the suit has been followed with each general inter est that the decision is given in full, aa follows: "The law as applicable to the ques tion involved is not disputed by the counsel, to-wit: 'The vital principle of the dedication is the intention to dedi cate; and whenever this is unequivocal ly manifested the dedication, bo far as the owner of the soil is concerned, has been made.' 'Time, therefore, though ofter a material ingredient in the evi dence, is not an indispensible ingredient in the act of dedication. If accepted and used by the public in the manner intended, the dedication is complete. (Harding vs. Joaher, 14 Cal. 643.) "The plaintiff ia a corporation, and ita intentions can only be gathered from its acta, and both adjoining property-hold era and the public have conatrued its acts to mean an intention to dedicate the strip in question for public street purposes. Soon after acquiring ita land the plaintiff made and tiled a map on which were delineated the ua ual avenues and plate of cemetery grounds. Along the southerly and weaterly aides were left blank colored strips, that on the southerly side be ing in and now forming part of First Btreet. Following the inner or easterly line of the 40 foot westerly atrip—being the land in controversy—trees were planted to form a hedge, and in 1885 the plaintiff moved back ita fence, which had stood nearer to or on the westerly or inner line. In the meantime the lands to the west had been laid out into blocks and lota, with apacea between the blocks for streets. One of theae apacea ran from First street to Brooklyn ave nue, along the weaterly line of the atrip in controveray, 20 feet wide, which, to gether with said atrip, formed a street (30 feet wide called Cemetery avenue. "Parallel with Firßt and Brooklyn avenue and midway between them is a space known and used aa Michigan ave nue. This latter terminates on Ceme tery avenue opposite the carriage en trance to the cemetery grounds and is used aa a public way. Lots front on Cemetery avenue on the westerly side, many of "which have been sold and are occupied and improved. Since the plaintiff moved ita fence back the strip called Cemetery avenue has been used by'the public aa a street and has been traveled more than moat of the crosa atreets in that section. To now cloae it would be to shut off the occu pants of the lots in question from a street or limit them to a 20-foot alley, and there would be no public road to the cemetery gate. "I think the only fair and reasonable inference to be drawn from the acts of the plaintiff, under all the circumstan ces, is that it intended the atrip of land in question should become, as it has by use become, a public street, and that dedication is therefore complete. Find ings and judgment are therefore ordered for defendant. Van Dyke, J." The Cemetery association sued to quiet their title to a atrip of land forty feet wide in Cemetery avenue, one of the atreeta bounding the graveyard. ON TRIAL FOR PERJURY. The trial of Aaron Abbott on a charge of perjury, alleged to have been com mitted in the police court in the latter part of February, when Abbott waa on trial for vagrancy, waa commenced yes terday in department one of the superior court before Judge Smith. The alleged perjury consiated of Abbott's swearing on the stand in the justice's court that he visited the house of Lottie Miller, an Alameda-street prostitute, only two times between February 19th and March 2d of this year, and on those two occasions he went to the house in the capacity of a paperhanger, and for that THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 26, 1891. purpose only. On this testimony Abbott was acquitted of vagrancy. Officer Bevan was the principal wit ness for the prosecution yesterday, and testified that he saw Abbott at the house of the prostitute repeatedly during the dates named—every day, in fact, and sometimes two or three times a day. Other testimony equally damaging to Abbott was introduced, and the case finally went over till this morning. POUYFOUROAT VS. NORDHOLDT. Judge Shaw yesterday rendered an oral opinio"n in the celebrated cases of Jean Pouyfouruat, executor of J. H. Nordholdt, deceased, vs. W. F. Nord holdt, and the cross suit between the same parties. The opinion favors Pouv fourcat—the same result as that ob tained in a former trial of the case. The history of this litigation is as follows : Mrs. Nordholdt, mother of J. H. ami W. F., deeded to the latter an'undivided x /x interest in certain realty in trust for J. H. Nordholdt during the minority of the former brother. J. H. Nordholdt demanded that the trust be fulfilled, but W. F. set up the claim that he owned the property in fee simple. Later, how ever, a deed passed and John Nord- j holdt came into possession. Soon after this, W. F. brought suit to set aside the deed, on the grounds that he had made it under duress. John H. Nordholdt died, having willed his property to his brother-in-law, Jean Pouyfourcat, and the latter won the case. The suit was \ appealed, a new trial ordered and Pouy fourcat again wins. THE ITATA CASE. The United States grand jury did not convene yesterday. This morning, how ever, the jury will get together and by noon it is expected that a report will be formulated and in the hands of Judge Ross. The testimony in regard to the illegal action of the schoonor Robert and Minnie in supplying arms and ammuni tion to belligerents against a power friendly to the United States is all in, and nothing remains to be done except to indict thote who are guilty of the of fense charged, if any has been com mitted. The report is expected to con tain at least two true bills. COURT NOTES.

Churchill vs. T. W. Sills, a decree was ordered for plaintiff in accordance with the prayer of the complaint, amounting to $1776.40. In the case of Jacobs vs. Abbott et al., before Judge McKinley, the demurrer to the complaint was overruled, the de fault of defendant Gibson entered and judgment rendered in favor of the plain tiff. Judge McKinley granted naturaliza tion papers to Samuel Gamble and Ed ward Gamble, both Englishmen, and father and son. S. Arnheim was yesterday granted a decree of divorce in department five from A. Arnhiem, on the grounds of de sertion. In department three the cases of Brent vs. Strohm and Cowles vs. Strohm, to quiet title, were decided in favor of plaintiffs.

The case of Newell Nightingale vs. the Milwaukee Furniture company, an ap plication for a receiver, was agued be fore Judge Ross in the circuit court yes terday and submitted on briefs.

A motion to set aside the information against Louis Higuera was made before Judge Shaw and denied. The defend ant pleaded not guilty, and the trial was set for June 4th. Judge Shaw affirmed the judgment of the lower court in the caseß of Wm. Cota and Len Lee. In the cases of the people against M. E.
