THE COUNCIL.
The Water Rates of Last
Year Adopted.
LANDS OF RESERVOIB HO. FODR.
The West Sewerage Company's Bill
for the Councilmanic Jaunt
Thrown Out.
The City Council met yesterday morn
ing, President Kuhrts in the chair and
Messrs. Earl, Barrett, Moriarty, Cohn,
Hanley, Wilson, Threlkeld, McNally,
Sinsabaugb, Shafer and Ford present.
Mayor Bryson returned, without his
signature, the resolution of intention to
improve Railroad avenue on the ground
that a protest had been filed with him.
On motion of Captain Barrett the veto
of the Mayor was sustained.
The question in relation to the estab
lishment of water rates came up and
Captain Barrett moved that no action be
taken in tbe matter and that the rates be
allowed to remain as they were last year.
He said that the law provided that the
rates should be fixed in February and
the lime had passed when any change
cvnld be made. .
On motion ef Mr. McNally the Mayor's
message, vetoing the ordinance fixing
the rates passed in February, was sus
tained.
The City Attorney advised that an
ordinance fixing the rates should be
passed. It would bo best to amend the
ordinance adopted in February. He
rendered the following opinion in the
matter:
"I have made a careful examination ot
the question of the right of the City
Council to establish water rates and fix
the amount of compensation for water to
be purchased to any person, company or
corporation for domestic and private pur
poses, and for other uses in the city of
Los Angeles, and would respectfully re
port : Ist. That there is no question but
what the Council has that power as to all
persons and corporations other than the
Los Angeles City Water Company, pro
vided the rate is not an unreasonable
one. 2d. The Los Angeles City Water
Company is the successor in interest of
all the right acquired by John S. Giffin,
Prudent Beaudry and Solomon Lazard,
under a contract entered into with the
city of Lo3 Angeles, on the 20th day of
Jaly, 1868, in which it was provided that
the Mayor and Common Council of said
city should have the right to regulate the
water rate to be charged by said parties,
provided that they should not so reduce
said water rates or fix the price thereof,
to be less than the prices then charged.
The question I understand you now de
sire an opinion upon is whether you have
the right to fix the water rate lower than
the price then charged. The authorities
are not clear upon this proposition, and
a great deal can be said on both sides of
the question. lam of the opinion, how
ever, that you have that right, and that
you may fix the rates for water at a lower
rate than that charged by said company
on July 20th, IS6S, provided that the
rate so fixed shall be a reasonable one,
in view of the necessities of the public
and the requirements of the Water Com
pany."
The City Attorney wa? instructed to
prepare an amended ordinance, to be
presented at the afternoon session.
The committee on the damage to re
sult to Misses Bigelow and Shatto, from
the construction of a viaduct on First
street, recommended that a commission
be appointed to award damages. The
committee also recommended that Thos.
Haye3 be allowed $1,000 damages, pro
viding he sign certain papers. The re
port was unanimously adopted. Coun
cilman B. Cohn was appointed
Commissioner on the part of the city.
The City Attorney was instructed to
draw the papers necessary. He pre
sented an agreement between Mrs.
Bigelow and the city, which was adopted
and ordered to be presented to the Mayor
for his signature.
The reports of various city officers were
referred to the Finance Committee.
The City Assessor asked that two of his
deputies be paid $150 per month.
Mr. Cohn said that he did not think it
right that the Council, just as it was
about to go out of office, should raise a
deputy's salary. The matter was re
ferred to the new Council.
The Finance Committee recommended
Jhtit the reports of the various city
officers be received and filed. Adopted.
The committee also recommended that
the bonds of all the new officers except
those of F. Eaton, City Surveyor, M. D.
Johnson, City Treasurer, L. J. Thomp
son, City Tax Collector, and Colonel

proved. The names of some of the sure

there in sufficient amount. The bonds
of F. E. Lopez, City Auditor, F. G.Teed,

The matter of an exchange of deeds be

& Wright for lands at Reservoir No. 4
came up, and a contract between the
city and Messrs. Kelly, Wills & Wright
was read.
Mr. Cohn objected to any aclisn which
would give away ninty-threeacres of land.
The city had a title to the land and did
not need to make any exchange.

flow tho land, and it was proposed to ob
tain a title to about thirty acres of land
by giving up the city's small claim to the
ninty-three acres.

member of the Council for many years,
and knew that the city had a right to all

would show his position to be correct.
Mr. Cohn said that if the Council
voted in favor of this, it would vote for
the biggest steal that over was perpe
trated on the city.
Mr. Binsabaugh said he should vote
for the exchange of deeds, because he
believed it was for the benefit of the
city, which would obtain a clear title to
something which it did not have now.
Mr. Cohn said that he would not ob
ject if the people who wanted the deed
to the land would do some work to
entitle them to a title to the land.
A vote on the question was then taken
with the following result: In favor of
an exchange of deeds, Earl, Sinsabaugb,
Threlkeld and Wilson ; against, Barrett,
Cohn. Ford, Hanley, McNally, Moriarty
and Kuhrts.
Captain Barrett moved that the Street
Superintendent bo instructed to receive
Hoff street from Walnut to Mateo, pro
vided the contractor hold the city harm
less. Carried.
The Council then adjourned to Thurs
day morning at 9 o'clock.
The Hoff Family.
The two younger brothers of the well
known petit larcenist, Clara Hoff, Peter
and Herman, aged 8 and 11 years, were
brought before Justice Austin yesterday
to be looked after as wandering minors.
This is an unfortunate family. The
father is a good workman, said to bo
honest and industrious, but addicted to
drink. He and his wife separated by
reason, he alleges, of her misconduct,
and the children wore neglected. Clara
seemed to have the natural instinct of a
criminal and began to steal like a pro
fessional at a very early age. She was
sent to the Boys aud Girls' Aid Society,
but escapsd and was put in Mrs. Wat
son's care, but managed to get into all
kinds of mischief. At last she was reg
ularly convicted of a crime and was sent
to the county jail, where she now is.
These two boys have been on the street
a good part of the time since their home
was broken up, and the elder, Herman,
was frequently brought into the station
as a vagrantj. The Court, after hearing
the evidence' of the Captain of Police,
decided that they were in need of the
guardianship of the law. Disposition
will be made of them to-day.
