2 THE COUNCIL. Lax Methods Censured by the Mayor. HIS TWO SCOLDING MESSAGES. The Water Franchise Referred to a Special Committee-Other Minor Business. The City Council met yesterday, Presi dent Franker fie Id in the chair, and Coancilmen Wirsching, Summerland, Van Dnsen, McLain, Shafer, Brown and Hamilton present. The following message was received from the Mayor: I return herewith without my approval the accompanying demaudß amounting to over 93,000, being claims against the city for labor and material furnished in remodeling and re fitting the old City Hall, because of the illegal manner in which this work has been ordered to be dona. On August 19, 1889, the Board of Police Commissioners requested that they be authorized to refit, refurnish and remodel said quarters for the convenience of the depart ment, including a Beeetving Hospital and offices for the Police Surgeon. Instead of au thorising this cum mission to per or m this work, your honorable body on August 19th returned to said board the reply that "the mat. ter was ordered to be done under the supervision of the Committee on Public Buildings," but it does not appear that it was done under this su pervision, On September 19th the said com mission advised your konorable body that a general plan of remodeling the bnlldlng bad been agreed upon, "and we respectfully recom mend that an architect be employed to draft Blanc8 lane and specifications for said work, and i»tthe same be advertised for competitive bids for the period of ten days, etc." To this last request of said board your honorable body has not seen fit to make any reply, but has gone on and had this work done without any architect, without any contract, and without an ordinance authorizing the same, as re- a aired by the charter. The ordinary precau ons taken In all cases in the absenoe of a con tract seem to have been overlooked, as the Bollding Committee has not certified to the correctness of a single one of these bills Take for instance. the one of 8. K. Adams for $215.75 for painting. It does not show who employed Mr. Adams, but his account rather shows that he employed tbe painters himself and kept the only account we have of the same, which does not give the name of a single person that per formed this painting, and no one In the employ of the city certifies to the correctness of this account or any part of it; and still the same has been approved by your honorable body. It Is quite evident to me that this matter has been neglec ed and the plain provisions of the charter relating to such matters ignored, result ing in a loss to the city of over $1,500, because the claims already presented exoeed the amount for which the work could have been done by that amount, and the claims are not all in yet, and no work has been done on tbe Ke ceivir g Hospital. Under tbe circumstances, I do not feei justified in approving these de mands. Mr. Wirsching said that evidently there had been some mistake in the mat- ter in reference to the cost. A bid re ceived by tbe Building Committee i howed that the cost would have been more than it was. The original plans were incomplete, and more work had been done than had at first been thought necessary. He moved that the message be referred to tbe Building Committee, to report npon next week. The vote whereby the demands were approved was reconsidered, and Major Bonsall said that the work had been done while he was away, but he thought as the Building Committee had been at tacked the matter should be referred to a special committee. He understood that the Mayor objected because the work was done without any advertisement or com petition. Mr. Wirsching said that if the Coun cil had advertised the work could not have been done as cheap, as a contractor could not have used the prisoners. Mr. Hamilton said that $1,500 had probably been saved by doing the woik as it had been done. Major Bonsall said that he had under stood that there would be a Receiving Hos pital , bat it appeared that the work had been gone ahead with and no hospital had been provided. A Receiving Hos pital was a necessity. Mr. McLain paid that the design had been drawn up by Mr. Muchmore, the Building Superintendent, and the work had been done under his supervision and the Police Commission. President Franken field said that this was one of those things that could not well be done by contract. This was one of the scolding messages usually cent in by the Mayor. Mr. Wireching eaid that the Health Officer wonld not have a Receiving Hospital there and so that project was abandoned. Mr. Shafer said that the records Bhow that the property was e et aside for a Receiving Hospital. There had been no action setting aside the motion he had made to set aside the property, and he did not know by what authority tbe Receiving Hospital had been abandoned. The motion to refer the demands back to the Building Committee was carried. Mr. Hamilton moved that the Mayor be requested to notify Justice Lockwood to file a monthly report with the Council. Carried. The folio wing message waß received rom the Mayor: "I desire to call the attention of your honor able body at this time to Section 207 of the new charter In which the provision in the old char ter, viz: "That the Council by a resolution or motion may authorize aßy officer, committee or agent of the city to bind the city without a coutract in writing for the payment of any sum of money not ex ceeding $300," has been repealed, and nnder the new charter the only manner in which the city can bind itself in such cases Is by an ordinance. This is the language of the new charter on the subject: The Council by an ordinance may authorize any officer, committee or agent of the city to bind the city without a contract in writing for tho payment of any sum of money not exceeding $300." This change in the law has beeu overlooked by your honorable tody for the past year and tbe custom that obtained under the old charter authorizing the exf enditure of money by a Committee on Supplies on mere motion or resolution has been continued,when the law does not authorize it, and it ought to be discontinued and supplies instead of being purchased by the Chairman of tbe Committee on Supplies, should be purchased In open mar ket after puollcation of notice for competitive bids. I took occasion to call the attention of your honorable oody to this matter before, but i\ has been overlooked. On the 27th of November the Fire Commissioners rt quested to be per mitted to putchise the hay and grain for the Fire Department after hay which had been purchased by the Chairman of the Committee on Supplies at the highest market price could not be used by the department; and to that reasonable demand all that your honorable body did after reading the communication was to order it filed. What object can be accomplished by refusing these various departments the right to purchase their own supplies I cannot understand. They have appealed to you in every reasonable man ner to oe permitted to do so, as they are the better judges of what they want, asd your hon orable body has uniformly refused them the permission. I don't know of any remedy rx oept to insist in the future upon a strict com pliance with the law,which does not permit the liurchase of supplies or the incurring of any ndebtedness by any officer of the city in the absence of an ordinance anthorizing them to do so. Mr. Hamilton said this was another of thorn scolding messages, and he moved that it be filed. Carried. The Commission on the opening of Los Angeles street reported, asking in structions to refund certain money. So ordered. The report of the City Engineer, as published in the Uehald, was read and adopted. The matter of opening Flower street to the soutb city limits was referred to the Board of Public Works. The report of the Board of Public THB LOS AJTGELEB DAILY HERALD: TUESDAY MORiqjro, JAJNUARY 7, 18*0. Works, as published in the Herald, was read and adopted. The matter of the franchise to Uri Embody for a water company came up, and was referred to Messrs. Summer land, Bonsall and Hamilton to report upon next Monday. Mr. Shafer said he would vote for the motion, provided the committee be re quired to report at 3 o'clock. Mr. Bonsall opposed precipitate action. He thought an opportunity to ascertain public sentiment on the question should be given, as it was a matter of very great importance. Mr. Wirsching contended that the city should own and control tbe gas and water supply. He opposed puehing the fran chise through in one day. A syndicate of the alleged magnitude of that which, it was asserted, controlled the proposed system, and which was asking for a franchise, would not dissolve in one day. Mr. Shafer thought there ought to be competition among the water companies, and that through such competition the city would be in a better situation to se cure the ownership of its own water works, as in the case of competition the price would be cheaper at which water could be bought. He wanted cheaper and purer water. Captain Cross appeared and asked permission to build a. temporary bridge across tbe Arroyo Seco. The City Engineer was instructed to draft the necessary ordinance. Mr. L, N. Breed on behalf of property owners on First street, asked that pro ceedings in the suit to open the street be delayed, as it appeared to be possible to come to an amicable arrangement as to the grade. He thought that the people would agree on a grade of one in eleven. Action was deferred for two weeks. the report of the Finance Committee was read and adopted. The Finance Committee recommended that the President of the Council call a special meeting for the purpose of finding Borne way of reducing the expenses of he city. Afternoon Scaalon. Ordinances relating to the opening of Georgia Bell and Byram streets were read and adopted, An ordinance making it a misdemeanor to maintain brick kilns within certain dis tricts was read and referred to a special committee consisting of Messrs. McLain, Summerland and Brown, to revise the j boundaries. The report of the City Attorney was read and adopted. The matter of opening Chicago street was taken up. Judge Gardiner appeared on behalf of a man named Benedict, who objected to the assessment made by tho Commissioners, on tho groand that he should be compensated for land taken. The matter was laid over for a week. An ordinances of intention to improve Rosas street were read and adopted. Ordinances ordering work on Walters street were read and adopted. Deeds for an exchange of property be tween the city and Mr. Hayden were read and approved. City Assessor Fisher reported that he had appointed J. H. Gish and R. H. Hewitt as deputies. Confirmation post poned for one week. The Street Superintendent asked that he be instructed to rebuild the sewer on Temple street, from Bunker Hill avenue to Main street. Referred to the Sewer Committee. The City Auditor returned without his apptoval the demand of J. J. Hawley for services as Captain of the chain-gang on the ground that the city had paid the salary to another man. The lease of the Main-street engine house was reported as expired, and the matter was referred to the Fire Commis sioners. The report of the Fire Commission in relation to the paving of the street in front of tho Plaza engine house was read and filed. A deed from tho city to the Board of Education for school site was read and approved. The Sswer Committee recommended that the bid of Zutetti for building a sewer on Yale street be accepted. Mr. Summerland moved that the City Attorney draw an ordinance to build the interior system, the outfall sewer and the College, Second and Ninth-etreet drains. Referred to the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Summerland moved that Keller street be cleared of obstructions, and that the Street Superintendent cau3e sidewalks to be built on Los Angeles street. Carried. Mr. Wirsching moved that the street numbering ordinance be enforced. The City Engineer was instructed to see that the ordinance was carried out. Mr. Wirsching moved that the Clerk notify the people on First street, between Alameda street and the river, who have not paved, to do so at once. Carried. Health Officer McGowan appeared and advised the Council to make no arrange ment for the disposal of garbage until it had investigated the proposition of erect ing a crematory. Mr. McLain presented an ordinance providing for the regrading of Temple street. The ordinance was the same as that vetoed by Mayor Hazard a week ago. The ordinanco was adopted by a vote of seven to two. Proposals for taking care of the city garbage were received from E. W. Reed for $225 per month, and from D. T. Donegan to cremate the same for $17,500 per year. E. W. Raed also proposed to furnish a car to take the garbage to his place for $200 per car, or he offered to sell 100 acres suitable for a dump far $10,000. Referred to the Finance Com mittee. Communications were received from the W. C. T. U., requesting that cigarette smoking be stopped among boys. Re ferred to the City Attorney to draft an ordinance. Bast Side Notes.

Last Saturday night at 9 o'clock the books of the County Tax Collector were dosed. He was given the books with $1,335,284.72 to collect, after deducting the amount on property in the new county of Orange. There have been $1, --175,284 72 paid into Collector Piatt's hands, and there remains $160,000 still to be paid. That is by no means a large amount of delinquent taxes. Had December not been so stormy the list would have been reduced by at least $100 000. The list will not go to the printer until about the end of thiß month, so that there remains nearly four weeks for the payment of these delin quent taxes. It looks now as if nearly all of it would be paid before the time of printing the list arrives. There is al ready a five per cent, penalty added, but if the list goes to print it will be in creased at the rate of fifty cents on each separate item of tax every time it passes through any official's hands. Pay up promptly and save this extra expense. TERM TRIAL JDRORS. In Department Six of the Superior Court.

For a year he had suffered, and I had given up all hopes of his recovery, when at length I decided to use s. S. S. Af ter using a few bottles he was entirely cured. Not a symptom noSy remains of the disease. This was three vcars ago. MRS. T. L. MATHERS, Mathereville, Miss. In the early part of last year I had a vio lent attack of rheumatism, from which I was confined to my bed for over three months and at times was unable to turn myself in bed, or even raise the cover. A nurse had to be in constant attendance day and night. I was so feeble that what little nourishment I took had to be given me with a spoon. Af ter calling in the best local physicians, and trying all other medicines without receiving any benefit, I was induced by friends to try Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) I discontinued all other medicines, and took a course of S.S.S. thirteen small bottles, which affected a com plete und permanent cure. I. C. BASSET, El Dorado, Kansas.
