Horse Stealing.

A communication from Ballona
township in yesterdays HERALD, calls
attention to wholesale system of
horse-stealing, going on in that part of
the county, and asks if no relief can be
afforded to the distressed citizens.
A subscriber of ours in that locality,
and known to us as a reliable, man,
called at this Office yesterday, and gave
the particulars of the case. Judging
from his statements, and those of an
other man with him, the citizens of
that township have reason to COM
plain seriously Of, the neglect of some
body in official station. During the
past week or two, horses have been
stolen from different persons. NJ. G..
Plummer has lost one, Julian Ryan
one, Miguel More, one, and a man
named Smith, one, besides several
others whose names we did not learn.
Warrants have been issued for the
suspected parties, but they lay in the
Justices Office, and although the at
tention Of the proper officers has been
called to the matter, no steps what
ever have been taken to arrest the
thieves. The sufferers complain bit
terly of this neglect and think it
strange, that no efforts have been
made to check these marauders. The
warrants have been issued by compe-
tent authority, upon the affidavits of
Los Angeles daily herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1873-1876, 1874-01-10
AcIean Of Light.

While the HERALD's course in at
lacking the gas monopoly has met
with the appreciation of every one,
with the exception of the subsidized
concern up street, some have thought
as there was no apparent means of
relief, we had better not aggravate the
monopolists, preferring to submit to
present evils, rather than to run the
risk Of having to endure greater exac-
tions. We are happy to be able to
state, however, that relief from the
impositions we have suffered is near
at hand. There arrived in this city,
Yesterday, by the VIM. Taber,- two
gentlemen from Pennsylvania, who
are practical men, and who propose
to erect gas works in this city. They
have lately built new works in Sacra-
mento, breaking the back Of the mo-
nopoly in gas in that city, and they
propose doing the same thing for US.
Messr. Gearing & White, the gentle
men referred to, will leave the city
this morning, with party of our lead
ing citizens for the San Fernando Oil
Springs, where they expect to find an
ample supply of cheap material for the
manufacture Of a good quality ofgas.
We are assured they mean business,
and that taking the same view. in re-
gard to the exclusive rights claimed
by the present monopoly, which has
been so forcibly urged by the HERALD,
they are willing to assume all liability
that may be incurred through disre-
gard ofthe pretended grant Of exclusive
privileges to the old company. We
presume there is not person in the
city that is not interested in having
better and cheaper gas. We hope
then that these enterprising gentle
men will receive the amplest encour-
agement, and have no doubt that the
City Council will give them every
facility in their power, for the prose-
cution of their important work.
The lighting of the public streets is
demanded by every consideration of
public policy, and We have no doubt
that if the new company will guaran-
tee to perform that service properly,
and for reasonable price, the city
will sustain the Council in making
contract with them for that purpose.
The HERALD will take pains to keep
the public informed of the progress of
the enterprise, and while it will jeal-
ously guard the interests eff the city,
itsassistance and encouragement will
be freely given to all who are laboring
for the benefit of our place.

A Necessary Qualification .

Mayor Toberman objects to the ap-
pointment of G. Aguilar as Zanjero,
. ON the ground that he is ignorant of
the language in which official business
is transacted, and which is spoken by
the great majority Of the people who
use the water from the ditches
Whether the objection is we'll ground
ed in law or not, it is strong one. No
officer should be either elected or APP
pointed, who is entirely ignorant of
the language in which the business of
his Office Is conducted, and one who
will not make the attempt to acquaint
himself to some extent with it, is not
likely to be active In the performance
of his duties.
The business of the Common Coun-
Gil is seriously hindered and delayed
