yesterday morning with President Teed
in the chair and a full board present.
The minutes of the preceding meeting
having been read Major E. W. Jones
was heard on behalf of the
CriAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Major Joneß said that it had been ar
ranged by Mr. C. D. Willard, secretary
of the chamber, that a committee of that
body Bhould meet a committee from the
council iD relation to receiving the coun
cil of Salt Lake City. The committee of
the chamber bad not yet been able to
mrjet any one from tbe council.
The president replied that at 9:30, the
hour eet for assembling by the joint
commit tees, it rained so furiously that
nobody dared venture out of doors. Be-
Bides, be did not know that the train
containing the Salt Lake visitors was ou
time. He would inquire if anything
had boen heard of the progress of the
train.
Major Jones answered that a dispatch
had been received from San Francisco
to the effect that the train had been de
layed and that a further wire would be
sent announcing the probable hour of
arrival. It was subsequently as
certained they did not leave there till
Monday. The chair then replied that a
further conference could bs had during
the recess of the council from 12 to 2.
THE STREET CAR ORDINANCES.
Two ordinances were embodied in the
city attorney's report and were then
considered seriatium. The one com
pelling the street car companies to put
fenders on their cars was passed under
suspension of rules, while the one pre
scribing the rate of speed around the
curves at Firßt and Spring streets was

THE BOARD OP HEALTH
sent in a report embodying an ordinance
creating the office of prison physician,
leaving the name blank but providing
that the incumbent should be elected by
the board oi health and hold hia office
at their pleasure.
Mr. Innes moved to refer to the board
of health.
The president opposed the reference.
He believed in adopting the recommend
ations of the board of health, but also
believed that the council had the right
to elect such officer. After a short de
bate the report waa referred back to the
board of health.
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Thia committee reported in favor of
paying the following demands upon the
city treasury for tho month of January:

The official bonds of Dr. L. F. Powers
as health officer and James M. GlaBS as
chief of police in tbe penal sums of
$2500 each, came up for consideration.
Mr. Teed inquired if tho clerk had
examined .the assessment roll.
The clerk replied that he had not.
The bonds had just been put into his
hands at the moment the council con
vened.
Mr. Teed said that be was unac
quainted with tbe parties named as
paretics on these bonds. He wanted the
finance committee to examine them and
report upon the sureties thereto. Tho
bonds were then referred to the finance
committee.

which the ordinance relative to tbe of

CITY attorney's report.
The following is the report of the city
attorney, which was adopted:
To tho Honorable City Council:
Gentleman : I have examined the
petition of James Vloir in reference to
the opening and widening of Maple ave
nue, reciting that William Niiea haß
mortgaged a tract of land to him situ
ated ou the corner of Maple avenue and
Washington etreet long previous to the
time that Mr. Niles set back his fence
aud opened Maple avenue to the public;
that the mortgage haß been foreclosed
upon the whole tract, and that he has
purchased the same at sheriff's sale, and
that the time of redemption lias not ex
pired ; and complaining that the com
missioners have not a.lowed him any
compensation for the portion of the laud
which iB covered by his mortgage, and
now constitutes a portion of Maple ave
nue; and asking that the report of the
commissioners be corrected so as to al
low him compensation for the same. I
have made some examination of
the facts, aud I believe that
the etatement contained in his
petition is correct. Of course the
setting back of the fence and throwing
open the property to tho public as far -s
Mr. Niles is concerned, would constitute
a dedication for street purposes; but I
do not believe that he could so dedicate
the property. In case it impaired the
security of the mortgage, he would have
a r ght to nave all the property sold (if
necessary) to satisfy his mortgage. The
time for redemption not having expired,
the purchaser at the sheriff's sale has as
yet no title to the land which
entitled him to compensation for
that portion which would bo taken
for the street, and such title may never
vest in him. as the property may De re
deemed. I suggest that the report be
referred oack to the commissioners to
eliow a reasonable compensation for the
land to be taken; the money for which
iB to be held until it is determined who
is entitled to the same. In case Mr.
Niles, he would not be entitled to the
money, as he has, as far as lie is con
cerned, dedicated the land for street
purposes. Neither would the redemp
tion by a creditor, otherwise the mort
gagee (before the dedication for the
party Niles) be entitled to the money,
as he would take the property under the
condition in which it is found at the
date of the sale; consequently, the only
poreou who would be entitled to com
pensation would be the mortgagee, or,
iv this case, the petition of James Moir.
The petition oi M. G. McKoon and
others iv reference to the opening of
Figueroa street, from Seventh to Orange
street, before it was forwarded to me,
was returned to the council by the board
of public works with the recommenda
tion that they are of the opinion the
parties should take the matter into
court. The investigation of this ques
tion of Figueroastreetwill involvea large
amount of research and investigation
and some exponße in the way of an ab
stract, before incurring which, in view
of tbe recommendation of the board of
public works, I would ask your further
instruction.
I have prepared and delivered to Ger
son Bros the contract for keeping
sprinkling hydrantß iv repair.
In reference to the contract of Ramißh
& Co. for the disposal of the city garb
age, I tind that the plans and specifica
tions provide that the council and board
of health must provide the type and
model of wagonß in wbich the garbage
shall be removed, and that said type
and model of waeone having been not
yet approved, the contract cannot be
drawn for that reason. I aleo find tbat
the specifications on tile and adopted by
the council, and which ore referred to
in tbe advertisements for bide, defined
the meaning of the term "garbag V and
particularly specified the different kinds
to ba removed. "Vegetable garbage"
shall be held to mean kitchen vegetable
refuse, or matter unmixed with ashes or
other refuse matter which cannot
be burned. Animal garbage or offal
shall be held to mean refuse from board
ing houses, hotels and restaurants.
The terms carcasses and dead animals
shall be held to mean animals dying
from disease, accident, or which have
been killed pursuant to the order of the
county veterinary surgeon, and not to
include any animal which may have
been slaughtered for human food. The
recommendation of the health officer
accompanying these instructions is that
the contract shall include the disposal
of all dead animals by cremation : and
in view of the fact that the specifications
seem to include dead animals in the
definition of garbage, and the advertise
ment for proposals for removing garb
age having referred to the specifications
on file for particulars and description of
the garbage to be removed, it seems
to me that the removal of dead
animals should be included in
the contract. I have been informed
that there ia an understanding among
Borne of the bidders that the dead ani
mals were not included within their es
timates ; and I have been informed by
other bidderß that their estimate was to
include the removal of dead animal ac
cording to the specifications. In view
of these uncertainties I would like to
havo your definite instructions as to
whether the removal of dead animals
shall be included within the contract or
not. In the former contract with Mr.
Dunnigan the city council designated
the district within which the garbage
Bhould be cremated, and within which
the dumping grounds should be located ;
but in the present specifications no such
district is defined, and I desire also to
know whether the council shall eelcct a
territory within which thia garbage
shall be cremated or not.
In regard to the paving on Second
Btreet, between Los Angeles and Alame
da streets, by the railroad company, I
find that the engineer has not estimated
that the cost of the work required to be
done by the railroad company will ex
ceed $2 per foot; and for tbat reason the
ordinance would now be prepared.
I report herewith an ordinance requir
ing street railway companies to provide
fenders on their carß for the protection
of life, and also an ordiuance regulating
the rate of speed of cars around the
junction of First and Spring streets.
The Afternoon Session.
The council reassembled at 2:10, with
President Teed in tbe chair, All the
members present.
MAI'I.IC AVKNUK MATTERS.
Mr. Horton, representing Mr. Ban
diere, at the corner oi Eighth etreet and
Maple avenue, owner of four lots at that
point, stated that the owner of the
property never knew of the proposed
Btreot improvement until too late for
protest uuder law. He now desired to
be heard in Bandiere's behalf.
By unanimous consent Hr, Horton
then made a lengthy argument to the
effect that an area of 13 feet would be

LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 31, 1803.
added to his land, and he would be com
pelled to move his store 13 feet at an ex
pense to him. He does not consider the
increased area of land is any advantage
to him. Mr. Horton thought that his
client was fairly entitled to some con
sideration for having to move his build
ings.
Remonstrances were beard in behalf
of other claimants (Plutarco Botillier
and others) against the widening of the
street, especially against the damages
proposed to bo awarded by the comniia
sinners, aa hiß buildings are old and
will not bear removal. The amount
awarded was $2000. He represents a
frontage of 415 feet. Another claimant
had three small buildings, the Hille of
which were very much decayed. For
removing these three buildings the sum
of $75 has been allowed. The lowest
bid he can get for removing such build
ings alone is $200, and that contem
plates no repairs or improvements to
the property after such removal is ef
fected. The case was, after much do
liberation, deferred one week. The
chair appointed Messrs. Campbell, Pea
sel and Strohm as a special committee
to investigate tbe matter.
PVVINO SECOND STREET.
I. H. Pope and J. £. Smith protested
against the city Btreet superintendent's
order of assessing the cost of work on
Second street between Main and Wolf
skili streets.
Petitions from property holders on
Baid Btreet were alao read, alleging that
the work waa done in especial violation
of the terms of the contract, there being
less cement in such sidewalk than de
manded by the specifications ; and that
the loamy soil was not removed as pre
scribed, but wae allowed to remain and
break up the concrete foundation. They
were Bigned by J. J. Melius, J. M. Da
vies, S. A. Weinechenk and others.
Mr. M. L. Wicks asked that a special
committee be appointed to examine the
work on the street. He was satisfied
they would be satisfied that the work
had not been properly done.
Senator White, attorney for I. H.
Pope, said that they wanted immediate
action taken. If counsel for other par
ties wanted the subject investigated,
they ehould bring up their wituessea
now.
Mr. Wicks Baid he wanted the council
to examine the case. It waa a case
where men were asking the payment of
money without having rendered an
equivalent for it. He hoped the council
would appoint a committee of its own
members to investigate the matter, con
jointly with the street superintendent
and city engineer.
A motion was made that a committee
be authorized to employ au expert to
examine the same.
Mr. Galley Baid there was no need of
an expert for Buch purposes. The city
had an engineer who was supposed to
be competent and able to examine such
work, and he, as a member of tbe coun
cil, was willing to abide by that officer's
opinioD.
Mr. Strohm said the work had been
examined by the board of public works;
that the work had been done in a work
manlike manner, and was as good pave
ment as any in the city.
MR. davies' bombshell.
Mr. Davies said that the sidewalk had
been broken up by a truck belonging to
the Citizens' Truck company ; that he
had shown those pieces to Mr. Strohm,
who said those were not fair samples of
pavement; that he took a crowbar to
break out another piece of the sidewalk,
when Mr. Strohm forbade him from
touching it, and threatened him with
arrest if he did so.
The resolution finally passed exclud
ing the aid of experts. The committee
appointed consists of Messrs. Muuson,
Peasel and Rhodes.
TUB CASTELAR STREET I'ItOTEST.
The protest about Castelar Btreet and
Bellevue avenue came up as special or
der for 3:30; and on motion of Mr. Imes
was postponed for four weeks.
HOSTILE LEGISLATION.
Mr. Innes introduced tbe following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereaß, Certain bills inimical to the
interests of the city of Lob Angeles have
been introduced in tho legislature at
present convened at Sacramento, there
fore be it
Resolved, That a committee of three,
composed of two members of this coun
cil and the president thereof, be author
ized to proceed to the city of Sacramento
to BBeist our representatives in opposing
the passage of Baid measures.
Adopted. The chair appointed Messrs.
Galley and Nickell.
THE PUBLIC PARKS.
Mr. Nickell offered the following pre
amble and resolutions.
Whereas, The parks of the city of Lob
Angeles are at present under tbe control
and management of a board of commis
sioners appointed by the governor of the
state; and,
Whereas, It is the almost unanimous
wish of tho people of the city of Los An
geles that said parks be placed under the
management of the mayor aud council,
as provided in the charter of said city;
and.
Whereas, Both of the great political
parties in convention assembled, pre
vious to tbe last city election, declared
in favor of municipal government of said
parks; now, therefore,
Resolved, That this council, at its reg
ular Boseion of this day, does hereby in
dorse the principle of municipal man
agement of public parks and requests
the members of the senate and assembly
of tbe etate of California, representing
the city of Los Angeles, to urge the pas
sage of senate bill No. 93 and assembly
bill No. 385, providing for said munici
pal management of the public parks of
this city.
The clerk of thia council is hereby in
structed to spread a copy of this resolu
tion on the minutes oi said council and
forward a copy thereof to each member
of the legislature representing this
county and city. Adopted.
Mr. Munson moved that when the
council adjourn it adjourn until Thurs
day, the 2d prox., at 10 p. m. Adopted.
The supply committee's report was
then read, giving a typewriting machine
to the street superintendent's office and
approving other itemß. Approved.
It contained an item of $75 for tbe
services of a consulting engineer, and
this occasioned a breeze. Mr. Nickell
'The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.—No Ammonia; No Alum.
Used in Millions of Homes— -40 Years the Standard.
thought there should be no money spent
without an autbori/.ution.
Mr. Dockweiler then addressed the
council on the neceasity for such a con
sultation. The expenditure of money
on the proposed water works was an im
portant matter, and the employment of
a consulting engineer was to obviate ex
pensive charges hereaftor. He proposed
to pee tbat the work was so planned
that nothing would require change. He
did not want to see money expended
without some benefit derived,
Mr. Nickell said he did not approve of
a requisition to pay out money which
did not contain the name of the party
to whom the money was paid.
Mr. Dockweiler eaid he had hired Mr.
Flynn, whom he deemed a competent
man in any country in the world. The
$75 waa allowed; 7 ayes, 2 noes, Mr.
Nickeli and the president.
ENGINEERS FOR CONSULTATION.
Mr. Jones moved that the city engi
neer be allowed the aervices of a con
sulting engineer whenever he needed
one. The matter was finally referred to
the committee on fire and water.
MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR.
At the afternoon session Mayor Rowan
sent in the following message:
Mayor Hazard, on retiring from office,
left unsigned several contracts for eec
tione of the outfall aewer, and requeeted
me to investigate carefully before sign
ing. After carefully examining the line
of the sewer with the city engineer and
Mr. Munßon, I found tbat sections 4 and
5 were very crooked and much longer
than waa necessary, and therefore aßked
the city engineer to make a trial survey
to ascertain what could be done in the
way of straightening the line on those
sections.
Tlie city engineer reported that a
straight line could be made, saving a
distance of 1017 feet, and that the sav
ing of tbis distance would enable the
city to build these' two sections of the
full size of 72 inches in diameter at the
same cost ac it would to build on the old
line where most of the eewer ia at
present planned, but 40 inchea in di
ameter.
The advantagea to the city by the
new line over the old one are:
-First —The new line is perfectly
slraight, and there will be lees wear ami
tear and freer flow of water than in the
original long and crooked line.
Second—Thtj saving in distance of
1917 feet, thus not only diminishing the
length of the sewer to be built, but less
ening the distance to be kept in repair.
Third—Tbe sewer for neaily the entire
length of sections 4 and 5 will in tbe
new line bo in tunnel, and will be con
structed 72 iuches in diameter, which,
it is estimated, will be sufficiently large
for the future needs of the city, while
in the plans aB originally proposed the
sewer is but 40 inches in diameter in
moetof the distance on those sections.
It is expected that in the course of a few
years the city will have increased in
population so that a 40-inch outfall
aewer will not be large enough, and
then it will be necessary, as the original
plans propose, to build another 40-incb
sewer alongside of the one to be built.
By building it 72 incheain diameter now
the city will save tbe enormous outlay
necessary to build this parallel line in
the not very distant future.
Fourth—About9oo feetof the line now
under consideration iB to be built on
made ground according to the original
plans. It will bs almost impossible to
build this eewer on made ground so that
it will not settle and crack, thus render
ing the city liable for constant and ex
pensive repair and awsuits for damages,
if these breaks should create a nuisance,
ac they probably would. There ia no
part of the proposed straight line that
is on made ground.
Fifth—The proposed new short sewer
can be built at the increased size for the
same price as the longer and smaller
and crooked sewer.
Sixth —Section 4 as originally planned
runs for a long distance through land
now covered by a large pond, where
water stands until late in the summer,
and if the season Bhould be a wet one,
as now seems probable, this body of
water might cause delay in the comple
tion of the sewer.
The old routs for sections 4 and 5 was
perhaps the best for which a right of
way could be obtained at the time, but
I am reliably informed that at tbis time
a right of way can be obtained without
cost to the city, for the proposed new
Btraight line. T. E Rowan, Mayor.
I fully indorse tbe above.
J. H. Dockwkii.er,
City Engineer.
Loa Angeles, January 30, 1893.
Mr. Nickell said the contracts had all
been let and he did not be.ieve tbat any
change could be made for the better.
The proposed new line would involve
extensive tunneling wbich might work
a hardship upon contractors. The pro
posals for bids bad been printed, con
tracts had been let and he did not wish
to see thtj'l&'ing impeded.
TKK MAYOR'S .speech.
The mayor said he waa aa anxious
8B anyone to have the sewer
pushed to a successful completion. He
wanted the work done according to the
now plan, if the right of way can be ob
tained free of charge. The sewer com
mittee had promised to call him in when
they met for deliberation, but they had
never done so. The old plan, he said,
involved the running of a sewer through
the bed of a lake, and he defied any
man to dig down there in September
(the driest month in all the year) with
out Btriking water. Tbe new plan
would leave tbis latte off to one Bide and
obviate the danger of a dropping-out of
the bottom of tbe sewer. He did not
want to spend any of the city's money
for work that had to bo done over again.
He believed that he should be held ac
countable for all moneys spent, and he
believed that tbe council would also be
held accountable. Public servants can
not shirk responsibility, nor can they
escape history. He wanted amicable
relatione with the council, and in highly
important matters those relations could
only be maintained by consultation be
tween the executive and the legislative
branches of the city government.
The matter was referred to the sewer
committee.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.
WEATHER BUREAU FORECASTER
HAKES A BAD GUESS.
A Very Heavy Rainfall in Twenty-four
Hours— A Wall Caves lv—Elec
tric Cars Abandoned
for tbe Night.
•
Athe weather bureau forecaster pre
dicts rain for today, it is probable,
judging by the bureau's inaccuracy for
the past two days, that as the Herald
readers sip their coffee this rooming
they will look out of their windows at a
clear day. Yesterday morning the pre
diction waß "fair," aud day before yes
terday the weather bureau gravely made
the same absurd statement. It is true
it only rained elightly on Sunday, but it
was not a fair day by any means, but
yesterday was flat contradiction to any .
assumption that the forecaster knew
what he waß doing.
The storm was very steady and in
tense all day. The rainfall was quite
heavy, being 2.20 inches for the 24
hours ending at 5 o'clock.
The storm has been general, rainfall
being reported all aloDg the coast. At
San Diego the fall yesterday waa .3S
of an inch.
The following figures are the totals for
the ptesent storm : Fresno, .14; lveler,
46; San Francisco. .32: Sacramento, .50;
Red Bluff, .04; Eureka. .10; Eoseburg,
12; anow was falling at Roseburg; Port
land, .30.,
At Los Angelea the rainfall up to 5
o'oclock yesterday evening for the aea-
Bon was 13.42 inches. At the time of
observation the weather was generally
cloudy with rain falling.
About 8 o'clock last evening tbe re
taining wall of the Mott block caved in,
and let a flood of water in the base
ment of about the quantity and swift
ness of a mill-race. The side wall on the
Alameda side, north of Commercial
street, eunk out of Bignt and with it
the wall fell in.
A man came rushing along with hia
head bowed under his umbrella and
fell in the chasm of roaring water,
which waß now several feet deep. He
floundered around until Officer Marden
dived down and brought him to the sur
face.
The street car service was consider
ably impeded. Last evening 11 of the
electric care were abandoned for the
night on Flower street between Tenth
and Eleventh streets.
At 9 o'clock Grand avenue and
Figueroa atreet were raging torrents,
carriages croEsing there with consider
able difficulty.

THE WHITE BANQUET.
The Event Fostsoned for One Week from
Thursday.
The committee arranging for the
Stephen M. White banquet met in the
parlors of tiie Nadeau hotel yesterday
afternoon at .1 :"0 o'clock. Mr. Last ore
sided. It was decided to postpone the
date of tho banquet one week, thus
changing it from Thursday, February 2,
to Thursday, February '.). The reasons
for the postponement were, first, on ac
count, of the weather, and second,
owing to the fact that as the Becond day
of the mouth is an important one to
merchants, particularly in their col
lections, a large number could not have
attended the banquet had it been held
on that date. If any persons having
purchased tickets for the original date,
February 2, cannot attend on February
9, their money will be refunded to
them
-Mr. List sta'ed that ex Senator Ed
munds and John P. Irieh rud accepted
the invitations to be present. Had tbe
banquet been held ou February 2, lion.
W. W. Foote could cot have attended,
but from his lust telegram it is possible
that he will be among (he guests, pro
vided that the trip will not interfere
with any law business.
