This they can have if the city council will accept a proposition which will be made to It at tomorrow's meeting. Messrs. Kregelo & Bresee will send in a com munication offering to establish a pub lic morgue, keep it in a perfectly sani tary condition, provide a wagon, and horses to convey bodies to It and also provide the services of as many men as are necessary to keep it properly, all without cost, if the council will simply accept their offer. This od'-er is the outcome of a fight that has been going on for some time among a number of undertakers in this city, and which culminated in the filing yes terday in the office of the city clerk of a petition asking the city council to es tablish a public morgue. The commun ication "rem the coroner, which was re ferred to the board of public works at the last meeting of the council, was not acted upon during the week by that body and rjo mention w ill be made of it in their report tomorrow. Since the coroner's request was filed a number of the undertakers of the city have be>en circulating a petition to the council asking that his communication be acted upon and pointing out the ne cessity for such a place where bodies could be held pending inquest and identi fication. The petition was signed by nearly every person to whom it was pre sented All of the undertakers who saw it placed their signatures to it. The result was that when the petition was filed yesterday it was several yards long and bore several hundred signa tures, among them being many of the best known business men of the city. Aa the board of public works is not ready to report tomorrow this petition will also be referred to it for action, with the other petition. The motive of the coroner in suggest ing the necessity of a public morgue was to provide a place by the city, and to thereby have himself removed, from the possibility of being charged with showing favoritism among the un dertakers of the city. This charge bias been made by some of the undertakers who have not received as much of the coroner's business as they desired. The purpose of the undertakers who were behind the petition was to make this alleged favoritism impossible by pro viding a place whereall coroner's cases would have to be taken. Just who first started this petition does not appear upon its face, but it is said to be the re sult of jealousy on the part of rival firms. As soon as Messrs. Kregelo & Bresee learned of it they prepared a proposition which they will present to the city coun cil tomorrow and which will settle the matter If it Is accepted. Speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr. Kregelo said: "We realize that the city needs a pub lic morgue and we also realize that the finances of the city are not such as to make the establishment and proper keeping of such a place possible at<the present time. Now we will offer to re lieve the council of all expense in the matter by providing a public morgue at our own expense. The cost to the city of such a place would be between $230 and $300 a month, for it would include the services of at least three men, two or three horses, a house in which to keep the bodies and incidental expenses such as fuel, light, telephone service, etc. Our proposition will be to furnish all that may be necessary for such a place, keep a wagon and horses subject to call at all hours, provide a place for the holding of all inquests If the coroner desires to hold them here and pay all expenses of the place. All the council has to do is to accept our offer, and- I see no reason why it should not be ac cepted. You might ask how we will be able to afford such a plan. It is simple enough, We take our chances on secur ing the burial order from relatives of the dead whose bodies are brought to and kept at the morgue. We are willing to execute a bond for the faithful per formance of the work and can be ready for work within a short time after the city notifies us that our offer has been accepted." FINANCIAL MATTERS Saloon Rebates Hung Up—Tax Sale Rebates Claimed 1 A short session of the finance commit tee was held- yesterday to dispose of routine business that had been referred ot it at the last meeting of the council. It had been expected that the committee would dispose of the petitions of several saloon keepers fur rebates on their li censes, but that matter was not taken up. It is understood that there are sev eral other similar claims from saloon keepers which are being held pending the fate of those now before the com mittee. If the committee grants those before it the others will be filed, and if the demands are refused the others will take no action. The reports of the city auditor, city assessor, Florence home and free labor bureau were approved. The demand of Police Matron Gray for $24 paid into the police pension fund was referred to the board of police commissioners. In the matter of the. petition of. M. Haley for a cancellation of a tax sale of a portion of his property through the fact that that property had been d.oubly assessed, the committee recom mend that the claim be allowed. It ap plies to a portion of Rancho San Anto nio. Mrs. Johanna E, Mueller presented a claim for $225 which, in the opinion of the committee, will have to be paid. Shs LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 3, 1897 is the owner of a parcel of land on Buck ley street, of which ten feet was taken, in the widening of that street. The eily secured what was, supposed a clear title to this portion of the land befory appropriating it. It now appears that the city acquired only an undivided one-fourth interest in the land. Mrs. Mueller owning the balance. If this Is found to be true, the city has taken her land without process of law. She is not disposed to make trouble over the mat ter, and her claim is thought to be rea sonable. It was referred to the city at torney for investigation. The matter of the granting of the privilege of placing a peanut wagon at Third and Spring streets, which caused considerable merriment at the last meeting of the council, did'not cause any discussion, being referred to the chief of police for Investigation. The usual demands and requisitions were ap proved. No action was taken In the re quest of the late boiler inspector for a return of his bond, as the committee de sires to ascertain whether there is any possibility of the bond being needed in the future. A WARNING LETTER Bids for Street Improvement Alleged to Be Irregular The board of public works received a somewhat unusual communication yes terday which they refused to make pub lic for the present, but as a re-suit of which they did not examine thebids that had been referred to them for the im provement of Twenty-first, Twenty second and Adams streets, and they will carefully examine what these bids con tain, as the communication hints that all is not right with them. The proposals had been opened and a close enough ex amination of them had been made to show that C. H. Metcalfe was the lowest bidder on the three pieces of work before the communication was received, but as soon as it was read all proceedings were stopped pending an examination of the bonds attached. Who sent in the communication the members would not say, nor would they state the exact nature of its contents Enough was learned, however, to make certain that the board had been warned against accepting Mr. Me-tcalfe's bids for the reason, the letter stated, that the names of none of the securities on his bond for the work appeared upon the assessment rolls of the city, as pro vided by law. It alsostate'd that there was a bid in which came indirectly from Contractor MeCormaek, who was re cently declared to he an irresponsible bidder. No recommendations as to the letting of the contract will be made until the board can ascertain whether all of the bids are regular and lust which of them, if any, do not fully comply with the law. The name of the writer of the commu nication will not be disclosed even after this examination is made. APPEALS TO THE COUNCIL Petitions, Protests, Etc., Piled in the Office of the City Clerk Health Officer Powers has sent to the city council a recommendation for the construction of sewers on the follow ing streets for sanitary reasons: Central avenue from Eighth to Fourteenth, Eighteenth street from Central avenue to Griffith avenue, Alameda street from Aliso street to the Intersection of Ala . meda and Los Angeles street*. S. A. Randall petitioned the city coun cil yesterday to change and establish the grade of Lake street from Tenth to Eleventh, that work being necessary before he can make extensive improve ments upon his property. Frank B. Harbert filed a demand for $18. He claims that he had constructed a sidewalk at Thirty-second and McClin tock streets after a grade had been es tablished. This grade was changed, an J he was compelled to relay the walk at the expense stated. Property owners residing on Hewitt street between First and Third peti tioned the council for the construction of the five foot cement sidewalk along that street, the work to be done under the provisions of the general street law of California. Poindexter & Wadsworth sent a com munication to the council In which it was stated that the work of the chain gang on Ord street threatened to dam age certain property which the firm con trols at Hill and Ord. streets. They re quest that an investigation be made before the work is continued there. The same firm petitioned the city council to establish the grade of E street from Mid land avenue to what is known as the Los Angt'lesand Pasadena boulevard. DIVIDED THE FIE Fire Commission Makes Five Equal Farts of the Hose Contract The board of fire commissioners held a special meeting last night for the pur pose of deciding to whom should be let the contract for furnishing the 5000 feet of hose provided for in the ordinance re cently passed by the city council. The commission decided to report to the sup ply committee of the city council rec ommending that the letting be divided into five equal parts as follows: Harper, Reynolds & Co., 1000 feet Victor (Jacket); W. C. Ferry & Co., 1000 feet Glenwood; same firm, 1000 feet Dragon; California Hardware company, 1000 feet Mastiff (Jacket); Cass, Smurr & Co., 1000 feet Bay State. The price to be paid for all of the hose is 80 cents per foot. LOWEST IN FIVE YEARS During September Only Eighty-seven Persons Died in This City Reports on file in the office of Health Officer Powers show that during the month of September there were only 87 deaths in this city from all causes and six of these were from violence, acci dents and intoxication. This is the low est number for that month of the year since 1892, The causes were as follows: Specific infectious diseases, 12; diseases of the digestive urgans, 6; diseases of the respiratory organs, 25; diseases of the nervous system, 14; diseases of the cir culatory system, 9; diseases of the genito-urlnary organs, 6; constitutional diseases, 4; intoxication, violence and ac cidents, 6; miscellaneous, 5. NO NEW PEST HOUSE Financial Conditions Prevent a Much Needed Public Work As badly as the city needs a new pest house, one cannot be secured at the pres ent time because of the condition of mu nicipal finances. The matter came up for discussion at the meeting of the finance committee yesterday afternoon, although It was not before them for ac tion, having been referred to the build- Ing committee. It was admitted that the present con ditlon of the pesthouse was such that it was hardly fit for use and that the need of a new one was great, but It is impossible to build now, for the reason that all the available cash has been di vided among the several appropriations and it is now too late to make any ex penditure for the erection of a new building. Next year when the budget Is made up provision will be made for a new house. The present site Is not to be used, as that neighborhood Is becoming thickly set tled. The new structure will be erected on city land at some remote point, and its construction will be under the super vision of the board of health. In the meantime the present quarters will have to be used if the necessity arises. Disposition of Lights Since it became known that each of the wards was to have ten additional electric lights under the new contract about to be let by the city, there has been a great scramble by the property owners who desire them to be placed, near their property. In the Second ward the Northwest Los Angeles Im provement association has determined to assist Councilman Baker in the mat ter of locating the lights for that ward. At a meeting of that organization held Thursday night a call was issued to the people of the ward to attend the next meeting, Thursday evening, at which time their wishes in the lighting matter will be communicated to their council man. As it is probable that the entire matter may be settled at tomorrow's meeting of the council, this meeting may be unnecessary. The members, among whom are included all the lead ing tax payers of the ward, will, how ever, endeavor to secure as good a dis position of the lights as possible. License Collections City Tax and License- Collector Gish has filed with the city clerk his report of the collection of licenses for the month of September. On the delinquent list 161 licenses were sent out and 114 were returned uncollected. The total collec tions on this account amounted to $84.50. Of the regular monthly business the total collection was $14,162. The face value of the licenses sent out and re turned was $719, making a total for the month of $14,881. Of those returned un collected 51 were reported out of busi ness, void on account of double assess ment or refused. The balance, 173, were returned to the tax collector. Truck Companies Drill The two truck companies of the fire department will go through their prac tice drills thismorning.the orderforthem to do so having been issued by Chief Moore yesterday afternoon. The drill of Truck A will take place at 7:30 at the corner of Aliso and Los Angeles streets, Truck B will drill on Main street, oppo site the postofnce, an hour earlier.

A valuable premium goea to the one who first solves the riddle. A dramatic version of Stanley Wey man's "The Man In Black" has been played in London for copyright pur poses'. THROUGH ALASKA IN A CAR A Chicago Han Thinks He Has Solved the Transportation Problem The genius of a Chicago man, W. T. Croslen, is said to have contrived means of overcoming the barriers of nature and weather in Alaskan wilds and put ting tot'rists into Dawson In less than 10 days after leaving the seashore. In December Mr. Croslen expects to under take this excursion, with, as he hopes, thirty-five tourists. The route by sea will be from Seattle to Fort Wrangle, and then the overland Journey to Daw son will be undertaken, not afoot or horseback, but in a car. This car Is to be electrically propelled, lighted and heated. As a combination of car and boat the car will be thirty five feet long, and eleven feet wide, and the seats w ill bs made so as tc be turned into bunks at night. It will be pro pelled by two cog wheels at the rear, and will move on runners. If on lake or river the ice should break, the car would become a bouyant boat and the cog wheels would become the propellers. An eighteen horse-power engine will generate the electricity. Mr. Croslen claims that cars similar to this one have been long and success fully employed in Canada to bring logs over the snow, and down the ice-bound rivers to lake ports. From Fort Wrangle there will be a smooth route along the surface of the Stlcklne river 140 miles to Telegraph creek. There a tableland will be trav ersed to Lake Tesllne, 135 miles and then after coursing, or tobogganing, ninety five miles down the Lewis river, the Yukon wii! be reached. Over its broad surface It will be plain sailing or rather sliding, to Dawson. The trip of 760 miles will thus be accomplished without a frost-bitten eat or the loss cf meals or sleep. The company to conduct this enter prise is capitalized! at $10,000,000, and is called, the Great Northern Building and 'Transportation! company. — Chicago Times-Herald. CALIFORNIA OPINION The Exchange System The Globe is glad to state, after thor ough inquiry, that the bulk of the fruit of Southern California will be marketed during the coming season through the exchange system—a much larger pro portion than last season. A few of the associations which last year thought to be better able to market their fruit in dependent of the exchange system, found their expenses greater and. no better prices for their products. The ex penses, a little larger In the beginning of the exchange system, owing to its be ing a new move, have been reduced to a minimum, and the coming year promises to be one of the most prosperous the val ley and Southern California ever ex perienced by the growersof citrus fruits. —Riverside Globe.
