ALL SCALED DOWN ALMOST A MILLION DOLLARS CUT FROM THE ASSESSMENT NEW STREET CAR TRACKS Great Improvements to Be Made on Spring and Main Streets —Public Works Recommendations At the close of business yesterday after noon, on adding up the columns of reduc tions made ln the assessor's valuations, the board of equalization found that the cat for the day amounted to $340,1170, mak ing a total reduction up to date of $833,G94. This Includes deductions made on account of mortgages held by the board of regents of the University of California and the allowances for erroneous assessments of surplus fund and undivided profits of sev eral of the banks about which there has been so much difference of opinion. Yesterday's session was again productive Of quite a little excitement and a bellicose spirit seemed to pervade the members, for there were tiffs between Councllmen Raker and Hutchison, Nlekell and Mathuss, be sides a full-lledged row between the repre sentative from the First ward and ex-Dep uty City Assessor Waldron, ln which Mr. Nickel gave the l'opullst a verbal dressing down and threatened to kick him out of the council chamber. Shortly after the afternoon session camp to order Mr. Niokell sauntered over toward tho lobby smoking his cigar and loaned against the railing Which separates the sheep from the goats, the public from their servants. No sooner hail he arrived within conversational distance than he was pounced Upon by Waldron, who has haunt ed the lobby since his abortive attempt to create political capital for himself and dis credit the city asst»ssor failed on Wednes day afternoon. Without preliminaries Waldron proceeded to threaten Mr. Nick ell with political annihilation for his ac tion ln voting to pigeon-hole the former's communication, saying: "I'll give it to you fellows when you run for office this fall. I'm going to expose you in the speeches I shall make during the campaign." Tho first Intimation those In the chamber bad that anything was wrong was when Mr. Nickell suddenly backed away from Waldron, saying, in a loud vc-ice: "Well, you can go to h—, that's all I've got to say to you. You can't threaten me, and I don't give a d— for you or your influence." With this Nlckcll turned away, explain ing to those of his colleagues who crowded around inquiring tho cause of tho disturb ance what had been said, and that he "didn't propose to bo threatened by any d—d Anarchist,* and that if Waldron opened his mouth again he would "kick him Into tho hill." Waldron did not say any more, but subsided, and thus saved himself from the threatened ejectment. Just previous to this affair Counoilnien Baker and Hutchison had a war of words over the matter of the assessment of the surplus and undivided profits of the banks. Hutchison could not sen the matter ln the light ln which it was viewed by his col leagues, and Insisted that undivided profits Were a legitimate subject of taxation. As Baker's argument failed to convince him tho latter threw out n dark Insinuation as to the mental caliber of the Eighth ward representative, which was answered ln kind, and several uncomplimentary re marks were exchanged. A call to order brought the disputants to their senses and the matter dropped. Again later In tho afternoon when, on motion of Mr. Mathuss, a pc tition for re duction was being considered, Mr, Nickell ventured to Inquire what was the reason for asking the reduction, the Third ward member replied with some heat, evidently considering the inquiry.-! reflection on him self in some way. Before more than a couple of words had passed, however, the gavel of President Silver cut short the dis pute, thus ending the last wrangle of tho day. The cuts made during the session were numerous and heavy, the principal ones being: Los Angeles Electric company, $10, --000 reduction on franchise; Edison Electric company, from 136,000 to $15,000 on fran chise; Traction company, from $20,000 to $14,000 on franchise; Pasadena and Pacific railway, from $10.000 to $SOOO on franchise; reduction on mileage refused. These re ductions on franchises were made to strike an average on valuations of the aibove mentioned railroad companies as compared to the Los Angeles Rutlway company. Heavy reductions were made for the banks. The Farmers and Merchants was (reduced $39,1143 on account of erroneous as sessment on exchanges in the clearing house. A citation calling- upon the Mer chants' National bank to show cause why It should not be- assessed 120,957 for sur plus and undivided prolits was dismissed. The First National bank was granted a reduction of $191,943 on surplus and undi vided prolits; the Los Angeles National $12,600 for the same cause, as also the Na tional Bank of California $15.745 for the same reason. The appeal of the Citizens' bank for a reduction from $44,823 to $27, --423 on the ground of excessive assessment, was denied. The reduction from $100,000 to $80,000 on the stock of the Peojvie s store was al lowed. The Henne block assessment was cut from $70,000 to $30,000, and another $35, --000 chunk was clipped off on a mortgage deduction, the mortgage -being held by the. stato university regents. Another! allow ance of the same nature was $100,000 to J. B. Lankershim for a mortgage on his prop erty. On the Lanfranco building assess ment a cut from $23,000 to $20,000 was made. F. W. Braun w-as allowed a reduction from $25,000 to 816.000 on his North Main street building, and H. W. Hellman was allowed $5000 on various small pieces of property. I. W. He llman got a $4700 allowance for four feet of his Spring nnd Fourth street front age, the land having been condemned!by the city for street purposes. The applica tion for a reduction on the Potomac block from $189,350 to $130,000 was denied. By Attorney Burke. Bishop Montgomery, the custodian of the property of the Cath olic church In this city, put ln applications for the following reductions: The cathe dral, store on corner of Main and Second streets and bishop's residence, from $35, --000 to $20,000; on the old Plaza chut/th, from $23,600 to $15,000. and on the parochial school on Los Angeles street, from $7000 to $5000. As the board larked definite knowl edge of the matter, it was postponed for hearing until this morning. Today's session will wind up the work of the board. NEW STREET CAR TRACKS Improvements to Be Made on Spring and Main Streets Complaints long and loud have of- lat» -been made by the North Main street mer- Ihants and property owners about the con (ltion of the streel and the holes' and hil locks between and adjacent to the street car tracks. Some time ago It was given out that the street car companies were going to Improve their tracks, relay them and re surface and repSve their portion of the street at the same time that other down town improvements were made. Later It was stated that this plan had fallen through. The Los Angeles railway com pany had agreed to relay the tracks from Fourth and Spring out Main to Macy street and resurface if the Pasadena road would furnish the rails as their pro rata of the Job. It was averred that the Pasadena road could not ralsei funds to purchase the rails and the deal was off. Yesterday It Was definitely ascertained that the Los Angeles railway company has already signed it* contract and that the Pasadena road con tract will be signed today, and thatfwork on the rehabilitation of the line will bo begun next week. Beginning at the corner of Fourth and Broadway heavy 70-pound rails, will belaid to Spring, north on that street to Main and out along Main to Macy. The old cahlo con duit from First and Spring streets out Main to the plaza and branching off past ths old church to the corner of Bellevue ave nue will all come up and the new track be laid. At present there are three lines of cars, Pico Heights, Ninth street and Washington street, which stop at Spring and Second streets and start on their return trip by means of a switch. This Is to be done away with and a heavy track will be laid down First between Spring Und Main, enabling the cars to go out around Tcmplv block by means of a loop and come Into Spring street at Temple. By this means the Pasadena line will have a heavy and up-to-date line through tho (•enter of the city, tho Los Angeles rallwaj company will not only obviate the block ade at Spring and Second, but put Its Una to the east side in first class shape, and the Santa Monica line, by way of Colegrave, will have the same track to Bellevue ave nue and Main street. It is expected that after the car com panies complete their work steps will be taken to have Main street from Temple tv the plaza repaved or resurfaced and put ir good shape. PUBLIC WORKS Routine Recommendations Made by the Board Only a short session of the board of pub lic works wns held ye'sltrday, the council men being engaged in the board of equali zation and having only a half-hour in which to do business after the adjournment of that body. It was decided to recommend that In the matter of tho protest of T. L. Chapin against the Improvement of Coly ton sitreet and the protest of Mrs. Frah clsca de Shepherd and others against the sldewalklng of the east side of Olive street, between Courthouse and Olive, the pro testants be. given a hearing before council at 2 p. m. August 15th. The protest of .7. C. Kofoed against the closing and abandon ment of Center street will be heard at the same time. It was recommended that the proposal of F. Whlttler to improve Carolina sireet for the sum of 13233.39 be accepted. ln the matter of the petition that Wlllard avenue be opened to Twenty-second street, It was recommended that the city engineer be ordered to muke the survey and neces sary maps. The district of assessment Is fixed as from line to line nf the opening and between Bryant avenue and Freeman street. Specifications for the construction of streets and Bldewalks with natural soil, or, prepared by the engineeer and referred to the board by the council nt Its last meeting, were recommended adopted. A TEST CASE To Settle the legality of City Im provement Bonds From the supreme court a writ of man date was yesterday received by the city clerk, commanding Capt. Hance to appeal- September sth before the court to show cause why he shall not sign the fire and bridge bonds. The writ is the outcome of an application made by City Attorney Dunn to the supreme*court to settle the question as to the validity of city improvement bonds. It appears that In the statutes of 1893 there are two chapters, 47 and 48, the first relating to refunding bonds, the second to improvement bonds and their issuance. Ir. 1597, when the legislature passed tho fund ing act, It repealed all laws In existence i» conflict therewith, and by some oversight or clerical error specifically repealed chap ter 48, which had to do with Improvement and not refunding bonds. As the error is palpable, the supreme court will, no doubt, at once rectify the matter upon presenta tion, and City Attorney Dunn brought the action to clear the title to the various is sues of bonds about to be put upon the market.

Red Cross Notes Since the dictum has gone forth from the government that no women nurses will be .sent to the front the class of volunteer emergency nurses, which has been under In struction at the county hospital and ths medical college, has decided to disband. There will consequently be no more- les sons given at the places named. Oranges and lemons are still In demand for the soldiers and hospitals. The cham ber of commerce has had quantities of fruit offered for the picking and packing, but does not feel justified In using- its funds alone for thai purpose. It Is probable that the Red Cross may decide to co-operate ln securing the much needed fruit, for which the stato society has made a special appeal. The young people's society of La Can yada have donated $3.25 to be used If prac ticable for Company C. New members: J. T. Fitzgerald. H. W. K. Strong, W. 11.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 6, IS9B FUSION IS INDORSED SENATOR WHITE SPEAKS AT THE HICKORY CLUB PROBABLE RESULT OF THE WAR Vital Issues to Be Considered in the Coming Campaign—Big Meeting and a Great Speech Tho Hickory club turned away people last night, who w«rc unable to get into the hall. When President Rogers rapped tor order there was snt even standing space In the committee rooms. It hud been rumored during the afternoon that reso lutions bearing upon tho political situation wctild be presented, ar.d expectations of a lively time had been amused. When Intro duced by T. J. McCarthy, they proved to be an Indorsement of tho candidacy of Maguire and Hutchison, but they con tained no allusion to any other candidates or to the general fusion program. This was construed by the friends of the Silver Re publicans as a slap at fusion, and, whether Intentionally or nrt't, as more or less pledg ing the club against fusion as recommend ed by the party committees. Mr. Allender moved an amendment en dorsing the full fusion agreement as made at Sacramento and till the other candidates of the united parties. The amendment was carried and the resolutions us amend ed wero adopted unanimously. Mr. Edelman of .Santa Ana, candidate for the nomination of state treasurer, ad dressed the club, making a good speech and a pleasant impression. M. J. MeGarry and Dr. Trask spoke brleflv. The principal speaker of the evening was Senator White. He was vociferously ap plauded when Introduced. This bi ing the senator's flrst public speech since his re turn frbm Washington, his declarations upon public questions aroused much Inter est. , Mr. White began by saying that it seemed to be the effort of 'he Republican party to make, the war and the matters growing out of It tho great Issue ln the coming campaign. Together with a few other senators, who had the courage of their cqnviotidnjjl, he bad believed thaij the dif ferences- "between Spain and the I'nlted States were possible of peaceful solution: Hut when the ultimate tribunal had de clared thnt war should settle the matters at lssuu, be and all other patriotic citizens hail .realized that the only proper course was Io nine; the Stars and Stripes from every house top und faithfully and h- nest ly to support the government in all par ticulars. The question presented to congress had been those relating to raising revenue suf ficient to carry on the war. The present cost ot the war has been about $3W,Wft.OOO. The Democratic party in congress has sup ported every appropriation called for ami has never opposed any expenditures in tended to old flic army or navy In the present struggle. But concerning the measures proposed for the raising of these cast sums the party had differed with tho Republican party in many and Important particulars. The method adopter! by the dominant party has distributed the burdens of the war among tho common people, and has exempted the rich nnd powerful, the cor porations and those inns', likely to profit financially by the War. The Democratic party has struggled to carry measures which made taxation equal and Just. The puj.-ent measure taxes the plug tobiictco with whic: tho dny laborer solaces his hours of toll and the glass of beer with wjiioh he refreshes his time of rest, and leaves untouched the champagne of the banquet ami the 50-cent cigar of the club. Tho senator himself hid endeavored to procure a tax to -be levied upon tho gross receipts of corporations. Tills would havo compelled the corpora tions to pay the tax themselves. The Re publicans had substituted th° present stump tax. which enables the corporations to escape their burdens and place them upon the shoulders of their customers. Senator While discussed the subject at Hume length, and gave an interesting ac count of how the tax upon the gross re ceipts of the Standard Oil company arid the sugar trust,amendments which he him self had offered, survived the ordeal. He said that instead of the Issuance nf Inter est .bearing bonds the party had advocated the Issuance of $150,000,000 of the same green backs which had curried the country through the long war of the rebellion. It has been sought to cover the boml issue with the clonk of a popular lean. This was a subterfuge, for the bonds had been ab sorbed by large capitalists, who had pro cured their friends to subscribe in small amounts and then taken assignments. This course, the- senator said, had been followed to his personal knowledge ln Los Angeles. After touching briefly upon the failure of the tariff upon citrus fruits to benefit the grower, who was today selling his crop for 00 events per box less than he received under the Wilson act. Mr. White read Call fornlans ln general a sharp lecture on the evils of sending frozen and unfit fruit to the eastern market. He believed that low prices were largely dun tn the indiscretion of growers of California fruit by falling to keep Its quality good ln the eastern market. II believed the war would soon end, and the questions before the people would be (Iscal and lhr.se relating In paying the enormous cost of the contest, ln all ques tions of this sort the party hail always stood for measures which represent and just taxation and a proper distribution of its burdens. To ii. as the friend of the common people, should be entrusted the duty of providing for these expenses and their interests were safe in its hands. He begged f-ir harmony In the ranks of tho party, audi said thai It had not a vote which It could afford to lose. Mr. White closed with n beautiful refer ence to thi' result of (he war In dosing the bloody chasm between the north and the south and ln Illustrating the patriotism of rich and poor alike. Bagley, a poor boy from North Carolina, and Fish, rich and a leader of the exclusive society nf the northern metropolis, had died in the same cause and with the same bravery and de votion. The senator's speech was pronounced by all who heard it one of the best he ever made. He announced that he was not now n candidate fnr public office and might never bo again. The club thereupon adjourned after the president hod extended '.he usual Demo cratic courtesies and refreshments to those present.
