THE COUNCIL.
Proceedings of the City Law
Makers.
Discussion of the Horizontal
Tax Matter.
A Great Amount of Business Trans
acted Yesterday.
Some Salaries Increased—The Health Of
ficer Given Some Assistants—A
Veto From tho Mayor.
Motions Made.
City council met yesterday morning
•s usual, all members being present.
The principal pow-wow during the day
was the discussion of the horizontal tax
refunding, which is reported below. It
was at one time supposed, during the
session, that that troublesome matter
was finally disposed of, but with the
lack of determination, or rather termin
ation, which characterizes the council,
the question was once more resurrected,
and was made a special order for the
next regular session.
OPENING WARD STREET.
The opening of Ward street from Pearl
street to the west line of the Gal pin
tract, came up for consideration, and an
ordinance for the opening thereof was
ordered. The existing street commis-
Bioners were elected to do the work of
assessment. The proposition to open
the street west of the Galpih tract was
referred to the board of public works.
ZANJA COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
The zanja committee reported recom
mending that tbe bid of Peter Keenan
for constructing flume and cement pipe
on Alameda street for 33 cents per lineal
foot for wooden flume and 98 cents per
lineal foot for cement pipe and $47 each
for wells, in accordance with specifica
tions, be accepted, it being understood
that the old cement pipe and wood in
the old flume is the property of the city.
It is also recommended that the city
advertise for proposals to purchase the
old lumber in the said flume.
A SALARY RAISE.
The city attorney presented an ordi
nance providing for a raise in the sal
aries of certain city employes. Clerk
Luckenbach in the city clerk's office is
raised from $80 to $86 per month, and
Clerk T. Smith in the office of the city
clerk and auditor generally is raised a
like amount.
The ordinance was not for a general
revision of salaries, but for a correction
\of some few salaries which were cut too
low in the previous ordinance. The
difference will not make over $1,000 per
year.
Mr. Bees moved that street foremen
be raised from $2.25 to $2.60 per day.
The motion was carried by 5 yeas and 4
nays.
In the same salary raising ordinance
Was a provision for one secretary for the
police department at $75 a month. This
clause was changed so as to make the
secretary of a patrolman with an allow
ance of $5 a month extra. In this form
the clause was passed.
CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT.
In accordance with your instructions
I have drawn a lease between the city
and George E. Milliken for the water of
zanja No. 6-1, to be used by him to fur
nish power for his ice works on Ann
Btreet. Referred to the zanja committee.
Afterward returned and lease approved
for three years.
I have also prepared and present
herewith an ordinance for the appoint
ing of commissioners for the opening of
W'eßt Sixth street, formerly Ward
Btreet. Ordinance adopted, and Mcll
moil, Davidson and Moriarity appointed
commisßioners.
I have investigated the franchise of
the Main Street and Agricultural Park
railroad and find that the first fran
chise was granted in 1886 for a period of
thirty years for a street railroad, to be
propelled by horsea, with the privilege
of substituting cable or electricity. The
franchise is for the following route:
9r6m Main and Temple down Main to
"Washington, along Washington to
Figueroa, Figueroa to Jefferson, Jeffer
son to Main, Main to Washington. This
franchise was amended in 1890 by a
franchise for fifty years over the same
route, for horses, cable or electricity.
I am of the opinion that the failure to
maintain and operate any portion of
the road for which a franchise has been
aecured, will be sufficient legal reason
for forfeiting the whole franchise, pro
vided, that by such failure to operate,
tbe public are in anyway discommoded.
Any action to forfeit the franchise will
have to be taken by the attorney-gen
eral. I recommend that the company
be notified that the city does not recog
nize its right to forfeit or surrender a
portion of its franchise. Referred to
Messrs. Rees, Nickell and Tufts to con
fer with the railroad company.
In the matter of the petition of G. U.
Brubaker and others, complaining of a
anisance at a point near Pearl and Boston
streets, I retnrn said petition and ask
that the same be sent to the board of
health for a careful investigation and re
port as to the facts. Adopted.
I submit herewith several deeds for
the right of way for an outfall sewer to
the ocean. Theße deeds very nearly
complete the right of way to a point
near Inglewood, and I advise that they
be accepted and ordered recorded imme
diately. Adopted, and clerk instructed
to record the deeds.
PROPOSALS.
Proposals for removing the roof of the
Macy-etreet bridge were presented as
follows:
J. E. Frick would do it for the lumber
and $36.
Sturdevant & Potter offered to do it
for the lumber and $'40.
Peter Keenan for $66.
Conrad Sheerer wanted the lumber
and $35.
George Armitage wanted the lumber
aud $50.
George H. Williams offered to take off
the roof for tbe lumber and give the city
$4.
D. F. Donegan offered to do the job
for the lumber and give the city $11.
He was awarded tbe contract.
Council then adjourned until 2
o'clock.
THE HORIZONTAL RAISE.
When the afternoon session was
called, seven members of the council
were present. The first business was
the discuseion of the question whether
any taxes collected under tbe horizontal
raise should be refunded. The city at
torney, to whom the matter had been
referred, reported as follows:
In regard to the petition of certain
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 16, 1892
property owners to be reimbursed for
taxes paid on the so-called "horizontal
raise" of 18S9-90,1 find that all of the
amounts paid were paid before the tax
became delinquent. It has been de
cided by our supreme court several
times that such payments are not made
under duress even if a protest is made
at the time. lam of the opinion that
these claims are also barred by the
statute of limitation, action not having
been brought on them within two years
after the right of action accrued. For
these reasons I am of the opinion that
the claims cannot be legally enforced
against tbe city.
Mr. Rhodes was in favor of refunding
in spite of this opinion, if there was
any way in which it could be done.
Mr. Reee said, that though the city
attorney declared tbat the claimants
cannot legally collect from the city, he
considered it the moral duty of council
to return the money.
Mr. McGarry thought tbe city ought
not to take advantage of a technical
ity.
Mr. Nickell—Because we didn't vote
money to carry the case to the su
preme court, council did not thereby ac
knowledge that the tax was illegal. I
think council had a right to levy the
tax, and am not in favor of trying to get
around the difficulties in order to pay
$1400 or $1600.
Mr. Innes—Unless we have a legal
right we cannot pay it back. This
thing is a legacy to us from a former
council, and moral right or wrong has
nothing do with it. Try it in the
courts! ,
Major Bonsall—This council has re
lieved itself of any responsibility in the
matter by referring it to the city attor
ney. The place for this matter iB in
the courts. I move that the city attor
ney's report be adopted.
All members were now present, and
Mr. Rees, who iB personally interested,
not voting, there was a tie vote of four
ayes and four nays, and the motion was
lost.
The city attorney's report was then
filed.
Mr. Rees moved that the petitions for
a refunding be granted. There was
again a tie vote, the motions were de
clared lost, and the petitions were filed.
VICTOR AVENUE SEWER.
The next special order was the hear
ing of parties against tbe construction
of a sewer on Victor avenue. A protest
was read which had been filed by P.
rseaudry and others, and several pro
testants appeared. On Mr. Alvord's
motion the protest was denied. ■
IT WILL NOT DOWN.
Mr. Innes now moved to reconsider
the vote on the horizontal raise peti
tions, and the motion prevailed by a
vote of 5 ayes and 3 noes.
Mr. Lee, representing Col. G. Wiley
Wells, counsel fjr petitioners, explained
that Colonel Wells was prevented by
court business from being present, but
desired to address the council on the
question at the next regular meeting.
The resurrected matter was then made
a special order for the next session.
MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR.
Mayor Hazard sent in the following
message:
Accompanying the ordinance permit
ting the owners on Boston Btreet to
grade that Btreet by private contract is
a request from your honorable body for
me not to sign the ordinance until the
property owners on that street should
pay the expenses incurred by the city
under the general Btreet law, which pro
ceeding has been abandoned. I have
now withheld the ordinaace for one
week and no payment has been made.
It does seem to me that it would
hardly be fair to compel the property
owners to pay these expenses, as they
were incurred, not by the unanimous re
quest of the property owners, but a pro
test representing nearly, if not quite,
one-half thereof was interposed by them
and overruled by your honorable body,
and the work ordered done notwith
standing the protest. It would seem
particularly hard that those who pro
tested against the proceedings whereby
this expense was incurred, should now
be required to pay their proportion of
it before they are permitted to improve
their property. A precedent requiring
property owners to pay the incidental
expenses in a proposed public work be
fore they will be permitted to abandon
it and do the work in a different man
ner, should only be invoked where the
property owners are practically unani
mous in favor of the work which is de
sired to be abandoned, and not in a case
where they were divided, as in the pres
ent instance.
If in the judgment of your honorable
body the facts in this case justify us in
refusing the property owners the right
to have this work done by private con
tract, I would request that it Bhould be
manifested in an order directing the re
turn to your honorable body of the ordi
nance without signature, and in the
absence of such an order I will approve
the ordinance, as private contracts are
entered into to do the work on the start,
and the contractors are desirous of pro
ceeding with the work.
Henry T. Hazard.
The contractor offered to pay the ex
penses and the matter was thereby dis
posed of.
AID FOR THE HEALTH OFFICER.
An ordinance, providing for several
assistants in tbe health department,
was taken up from the committee of the
whole. It allows the department one
chief sanitary inspector at $70 per
month, two sanitary inspectors at $00
per month, and one keeper at the city,
pest house at $60 per month. Passed.
TWENTY-SEVENTH STREET GRADING.
An ordinance permitting the property
owners of Twenty-seventh street, be
tween Main street and Grand avenue, to
grade the street and construct cement
curb and sidewalks, was passed.
MOTIONS OF CODNCILMEN.
Mr. Summerland moved that a foot
walk be laid on the north side of Macy
street. Board of public works.
Mr. Nickell moved that the city clerk
be instructed to notify Contractor Crow
ley that" he must finish the Alhambra
avenue fill at once. There has been a
delay of five months and the fill is still
not acceptable. Passed.
Mr. Rees moved that hydrants be
placed at Brooklyn avenue and Mott
Btreet, and at the intersection of Michi
gan avenue with Mott street, Saratoga
street and Cemetery street. Referred
to the committee on Fire and Water.
Mr. Alford moved that the property
owners on Newton street, between Cen
tral avenue and Tennessee street, be al
lowed to grade and turnpike tbe street
at their own expense. Passed.
Mr. Innes moved that the city attor
ney be asked to answer the following
two questions: First, is there any legal
difficulty which would prevent the
city from incurring an indebted
ness exceeding $2,000,000 for tbe
purpose of purchasing a water plant?
Second, is there any contract at present
existing which would prevent tbe city
from owning and running its own water
plant? Passed.
Mr. McGarry moved that the street
superintendent be instructed to put sev
eral loads of gravel on Seventh street
near the bridge. •
SUPPLY COMMITTEE.
The 'supply committee recommended
that all the bids for lumber be rejected,
and that tbe city clerk be instructed to
readvertise for bids. Passed.

PETITIONS AND PROTESTS.
The following petitions and protests
were read and referred to the several
committees:
A. Workman complains of an ordi
nance now being advertised by the city
to change the names of certain streets
on Boyle Heights, and alleges that "It
would seem as if it was entirely for per
sonal motives and not for the best in
terest of the people." He also wants
the name of Boyle Heights changed to
Brooklyn Heights "or some other re
spectable name," also to change the
name of Boyle avenue to Lopez street.
J. F. Hamer et al. want a crosswaik
across Temple street on the east line of
Brent street.
Atonia McAvila et al. want Brooklyn
avenue, between Cummings and State
streets placed in repair.
The chamber of commerce sent a re
quest for an ordinance to be passed that
would compel pawnbrokers, secondhand
dealers and the like to expose in show
windows the wares they come in posses
sion of from unknown Dersons, also to
take a description of the person and hold
the Esme; this with a view of prevent
ing many of the thefts now going on in
this city.
John D. Bicknell et al. want Broad
way, between Second and Ninth streets,
widened to ninety feet.
J. N. Van Nuya wants city tax sale of
the easterly five feet of lot 21, block V,
Aliso tract, declared void.
Mary H. Banning protests against the
work of improving Ninth street, be
tween Spring and Broadway, at present.
George L. Arnold et al. want Soto

Mrs. F. 0. Boe, at Watklns, left this letter:
"My husband—Forgive me if I cause you trou
ble, but I suffer so. You do not know what
these long, wakeful, wretched nights are to
me, and I am so tired, darling—the pain will
nev<!rbe better. It is not easy to take my own
lite, but I have bet n tick so long. Good-bye.
my husband. I love you—your wi'e." This is
