2 FOR PUBLIC GOOD. Matters Considered by the Chamber of Commerce. REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING. A Large Increase in the Member ship—About the New Quarters. Smelting Works. The Chamber of Commerce held its regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon. There were about fifty mem bers present, with Major E. W. Jones in the chair. After the reading of tbe minutes, Secretary Patton reviewed the work which has been done by the Board of Directors in the time which has elapsed since the last regular meeting of the chamber. Major Jones explained with regard to the appointment of some one to assist in the work of securing appropriations from Congress, that a gentleman who would make a suitable representative at Wash ington had been a-ked to serve, and that he would return an answer very soon. G. M. Wells reported the action of the ways and means committee with regard to the eelection of new quarters, that the membership of the chamber must be increased before the permanent ex hibit could be established. He said the most desirable place thus far offered the committee was Mott hall, which would be thoroughly renovated. The rent would be $150 a month, of which $50 would probably be paid by property owners in the vicinity. The objections to the location had been considered. It would be better, perhaps, to have rooms on the ground floor, but none had been offered at a figure within the reach of the chamber. The hall would be very useful for entertainment purposes when a "ladies' annex" should be started, which was part of the plan. Mr. Haas, the architect, said that large windows would be put in the side of the building, and any other changes which the chamber desired would be made. Hervey Lindley moved that a vote of thanks be tendered to the Herald for their generosity in giving 3,000 of the Illustrated Annual, to be used in "California on Wheels," and that the secretary be instructed to transmit the record of this vote to the publishers of the Herald. He said that the donation had come at a very opportune time, and that the excellence of the production rendered it especially valuable for the purpose to which it should be devoted. A similar vote was passed with regard to the Tribune, which had offered 200 copies of its annual for the same purpose. Secretary Patton reported on the mat ter of ways and means and member ship. The chamber had, he said, 194 members. With the new members which had been secured, the chamber would have 250 on its roll. This made a monthly income of $250, which wouid not cover the increased rent which it was proposed to incur, nor the expenses of a permanent exhibit. The secretary calculated that $400 a month was needed to carry out the plan. This could easily be secured by increasing the member ship. Captain Barrett expressed the belief that no difficulty of a financial sort was likely to be experienced. The rental ot the hall and the extra rooms would probably increase the income of the chamber beyond all its expenses. He promised to do some more work at in creasing the membership. Major Jones suggested that some ac tion be taken on the matter of incorpora tion. C. M. Wells moved that the mat ter be left with the Board of Directors. It was carried. The treasurer reported a balance in the treasury of $37.12. Ex-Mayor Workman announced that President Yerrington, of the Carson and Colorado railroad was in town, and sug gested that a committee be appointed to confer with him. The motion was car ried. The following were appointed: W. H. Workman, H. C. Witmer and M. L. Wicks. It was afterwards discovered that it was a mistake, and Mr. Yerring ton was not in the city. Mr. L. R. Harrison was introduced by John P. Humphreys, as representing the Preston Reduction Company, of Chicago. Mr. Harrison said that he had recently received a letter from F. E. Miller, pres ident of the company. Several members of the company had been out to the Coast during the winter. They had started to build a smelter at Denver, but were discouraged by continual snows. Mr. Harrison thought from the way in which the letter which had been re ceived was woraed, that the company would locate a smelter here if they re ceived sufficient encouragement. It would be a ten-ton plant, which would be increased to fifty or one hundred tons, handling ores of all sorts. The company would ask for a location near a railroad, snd would perhaps expect some sort of a bonus. On being asked whether the company was responsible, Mr. Harrison said that its members represented four millions of capital. Mr. Hughes said that no difficulty would be experienced in obtaining a site for such an enterprise Captain Barrett moved that the matter be referred to the committees on manu factures and mines and mining, and that it be declared the sense of the chamber that all possible aid should be extended to the undertaking. This was carried. Mr. Wells moved that the committees on manufactures and legislation look into the question of the ability of the authorities to remit the tax on manu factories, as an encouragement to enter prises of that character. It was carried. The following new members were voted into the chamber: L. T. Guernsey, Fred L. Alles, J. M. Skinner, J. H. Polk, Bayard T. Smith, M. E. C. Munday, A. McNally, C. M. Heintz, W. E. Dunn, Theo Summerland, Chas. A. Marriner, N. C. Bledsoe, Nathan Cole, Jr., G. W. Morgan, S. Maier, D. A. Moriarity, A.H. Judson, California Sewer Pipe Company, Fred Crowley, George E. Gard, L. W.

Lash and R. B. Young. Dr. J. P.Widney moved that the cham ber endorse the bill now before Congress calling for an appropriation for a deep water harbor at Galveston, and that the secretary inform Representative Yande THE LPS ANGELES DAILY HEKALD: THURSDAY MORNING: FEBRUARY 20 1890. ver of thia action. The motion was car ried, views being expressed by several members tr at the building of the harbor would improve the outlook for a better harbor at San Pedro. Judge Bethune presented a resolution calling for a silver convention to be held in this city at some time which the chamber should hereafter set, composed .of delegates from the various commercial bodies of the Coast, to urge upon the present Congress the necessity of fully remonetizing silver. The matter was finally referred to the Board of Directors, with power to act. The secretary gave notice of several amendments which would come up at the next regular meeting of the chamber. Their effect was to do away with the executive committee, which has been a dead letter since the organization of the chamber, and to admit the officers to membership in the Board of Directors. Mr. Davies, chairman of the committee on statistics and publication, announced that the work on the pamphlet had been held back by the illness of Secretary Patton and by the failure of the engravers to come to time, but that the reading matter was all prepared. The chamber then adjourned. ON THE RAIL. Through the Cajon—.4 List ot East era Excursionists. Yesterday morning at 2 o'clock the delayed Santa Fe overland train arrived in the city, bringing in the Mendelssohn Quintette Club and a number of other passengers from the East. It came through the Cajon pass on an improvised track, constructed over the landslide. The pass is now clear. The Sinta Fe will soon publish a new time table, in which there will be a number of important changes in the time of the arrival and departure of trains, both through and local. The Santa Barbara Press of Tuesday contains the following: "The 1:40 p. m. train from Los Angeles to San Francisco leaving Los Angeles on Sunday met with a serious mishap about six miles north of Saugus. The track was covered with water to a depth of nearly two feet, and both engines and the mail car were thrown into the ditch. The train was running at a slow rate of speed, and the passengers were only slightly shaken up. No one was hurt. The cars were finally pulled back to Saugus and remained there all night. Eight or ten passengers for Santa Barbara were compelled to re main at Saugus over night." Fifty Warner excursionists arrived from the East yesterday morning over the Santa Fe route. The list is as follows: N. P. Field, Oswego, N. V.; Adele Ludlow, Monroe, Wis.; J. H. White, Chicago; L. B. Biddlecome, Miss Amie Biddlecome, Mrs. Clark, Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. E. B.

BROADWAY. Fort Street Is No Lonicr In Extat. ence. There is no longer a Fort street in Los Angeles. The ordinance changing its name to Broadway has gone into effect, having been signed by Mayor Hazard and published as required by law. It is hinted that in a s'uort time a part of Main street, from Tenth street south, will be called Broadway. This it is said will be done as soon as Broadway is ex tended. An examination of the city map will show that Main street makes a bend at Seventh street, and that when Broadway is cut through that portion south of Tenth street will be nearly in a straight line with Broadway. Parties now living on the lower part of Main street may make up their minds to an nounce that they will reside on Broad way. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. WATER RATES. Tne Agreement with the City Wa ter oempaiT, A meeting of the committee of the Conneil on water rates was to have been held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, but Councilman Bummerland was the only member who was in attendance. The representatives of the various water companies were present, but the meet ing was adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when it is expected that the other members of the committee will be present The representatives of the City Water Company have prepared a state ment of the agreement between the city and the water company. This agree ment was, it is stated, ratified by tho Legislature in 1869 and 1870, and its provisions are in substance as follows: That during the period of agreement to not reduce the water rates, or so fix the price thereof to be less than the rates then existing and charged for water; The city agreeing to make no other lease, sale, contract, grant or franchise to any person or persons, corporation or company, for the sale or delivery of water to the inhabitants of said city, for domes tic purposes, during the continuance of the agreement; The City of Los Angeles giving to the Los Angeles City Water Company the right to lay pipes in any and all of the streets of said city, and to dig and make all necessary excavations for that pur pose, and the right of way through, upon and over lands or streets belonging to the City of Los Angeles; That at the expiration of the agree ment the City of Los Angeles agrees to pay to the Los Angeles City Water Com pany, the value of improvements made in and about, or upon said water works during the period of the lease or agreement. The Los Angeles City Water Company agreed to pay to the City of Los Angeles $1,500 per annum during the term of this contract, and for further consideration, tbe water company to surrender to the City of Los Angeies, and cancel all claims they then held for repairs on said water works and damages, amounting to $8,000; To make the following improvements, about, in and upon the said water ••• >rks, at their own expense, to wit: lay down in the streets of said city, twelve miles of iron pipes of sufficient capacity to supply the inhabitants of the city with water for domestic purposes, and to erect one hydrant to be used as a protection against fire, at one corner of each cross street where the water pipes then were or should be laid thereafter. Also the water company to erect at its own ex pense, an ornamental fountain on the public plaza of said city ; and the water company at its own expense, to construct such flumes, ditches, machinery and reservoirs, in connection with said water works, as may be necessary to supply tbe inhabitants with water; and the water company further agreed to furnish water for the public schools, city hospi tals, and jails free of charge, and to pay all State and county taxes during the period of lease or agreement.

Routine Business Transacted ky tbe Board. The police commissioners met yester day afternoon in the Mayor's office, Messrs. Collins, Dexter and Lewis pres ent. After waiting for thirty minutes for the Mayor and Mr. Knox, neither of whom, however, put in an appearance, Mr. Collins was voted into the chair and the meeting was called to order. The Chief having reported favorably on the application of C. Silverstein for a permit to open a new saloon on the coi ner of Olympia and San Fernando streets, the same was granted, on motion of Mr. Lewis, in spite of a protest signed by a number of residents on Willhart street, who stated that there were already three saloons in the neighbor hood. While the protest was being read by the clerk, J. A. Muir, assistant superin tendent of the Southern Pacific Com pany, anrhAttorney (i. J. Denis entered the board-room and were accommodated with chairs by the Chief. It was evi dent that the visitors were expected by one commissioner at least, for, the Silver stein petition having been disposed of Mr. Lewis stated that it was one of the duties of the board to hear petitions and remonstrances, and he therefore moved that the business before the board be suspended in order to allow Messrs Muir and Denis to address it. Messrs. Dexter and Collins held a whispered conference when the railroad representatives entered the room and the result was soon made apparent' Mr Dexter stated that there was a rule' which had heretofore been strictly ad hered to by the board, to the effect that po person be; allowed to appear before the board, but that all petitions or com plaints be made in writing only. Mr Collins backed up his colleaaue ami stated that the M»y 0 r had always ?n- Bisted npon the rule being adhered to and he did not feel disposed to make any exceptions. Mr. Lewis asked whether the rule was so inflexible that it could not be suspended if such wan the pleasure of the board, and called upon the chairman to decide the ques tion. Mr. Collins, however, refused to repeal the rule on the ground that a full board was not present, and Mr. Lewie, on find ing that he was in a decided minority, made a final kick by saying that he thought it was the business of the board to listen to influential taxpayers, when they took the trouble lo appear before it for a ppecified purpose. Mr. Denis asked permission to file a written petition, and this having been granted, the visitors withdrew. The regular Dusmess was then pro ceeded with, and the |applicatiou ot B. Mendelsohn for a transfer of the license for No. 700 East First street, now in the name of A. Greenwald, was granted. The Chief having reported that in the matter of the applicatioon of Joseph Virgil for a permit to open a new saloon at No. 606 Macy street, the officer de tailed to investigate had found a saloon already there and occupied by another man, the petition was referred back to him for further investigation, there being a mistake in the numbering of the street. The applications of John Boyle for permission to obtain a license for a new saloon at No. 124 Commercial street, and J. B. Baget for a transfer of his license from No. 706 Olive street to the corner of Aliso and Alameda streets, were referred to the Chief, under the rule, for investigation. A communication was received from Thos. J. Bedford offdring to assume the entire control of the city jail day and night for $100 per month, and on motion of Mr. Lewis was placed on file. Chief Glass stated that he had promised Bed ford to present the matter to the board, and permission having been accorded to him, he did ho in a few words. The Chief presented tho claim against ex-Officer P. D. Lahart, which had baen referred to him for investigation at the last meeting; but as Lahart had been re moved from the force since that time, the board had no authority to act in the matter, and the claim was filed. The Chief stated that he had been asked by Scipio Johnson, the colored janitor of the old city hall, to inform the commission that he had been unable to obtain hia salary for the month of Jan uary. Clerk Robinson explained that the Mayor had not approved the demand because he expected that an ordinance would be passed by the Council for the purpose. As this had not yet been done, he presumed that the Mayor would ap prove the demand, and in the meantime he would see the City Attorney and re quest him to draw up an ordinance cov ering the case. Mr. Lewis thereupon moved that the clerk be instructed to that effect, and the motion being carried, the board adjourned. Sudden • li a litres of Weather cause Throat Diseases.
