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

Referred to the Committee of the Whole.

City Engineer was instructed to see that
the ordinance was carried out.
Mr. Wirsching moved that the Clerk

advised the Council to make no arrange
ment for the disposal of garbage until it
had investigated the proposition of erect

COUNTY TAXES.
The Amount Delinquent Not Very
*»»rajw.
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.

A Legal Acquisition.

a large and)lucrative practice on account
of his wife's health, has settled in Los
Angeles, and has opened his law offices
in the University Bank building. Be
fore leaving Texas Colonel Ruesel wbb
the recipient of the following set of reso
lutions from the Bar Association, which
show the high position tho gentleman
occupied in legal and social circles:
Whereas, Colonel D, L. Ruseell, who
has for the past thirteen years been a
citizen of Belton, Bell county, Texas,
and a practicing attorney at this bar,
has decided to cast his lot in the near
future with another people, and
Whereas, His fraternal relations with
the Bell County Bar have always been
cordial and pleasant, and he has been
held in high esteem by us personally and
professionally. Therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Bell County Bar in
called session assembled, that the bar
reluctantly parts with an able, conscien
tious and efficient brother attorney, and
the county and State loses a worthy, up
right and honest citizen. During his
stay amonz us Col. Russell has over
shown himself a courtly gentleman, a
true and loyal friend, and an able and
painstaking attorney.
We cheerfully commend him to any
people among whom he may cast his lot,
as a gentleman worthy of trust and con
fidence, of high social attainments and
qualities, a cordial friend who alwayvi
measures up to the full standard of man
hood, and a lawyer whose splendid I
ability and high legal attainments entitle
him to take high position before any bar
of the country, and we bespeak for him
at the hands of our professional brethren,
and at the hands of the citizens of any
county or State where his lot may ba
cast, that favorable consideration to
which his accomplishments as a gentle
man and a lawyer entitle him.
Resolved, That Colonel D. L. Russell
be furnished with a copy of these pro
ceedings, and the same be furnished the
local press for publication.

and I had given up all hopes of his recovery,

In the early part of last year I had a vio

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
