lenders who exact rates of interest which
their own best interests, and
those Of the people neither warrant nor
justify. Twelve per cent. fer money to
do business on in Nebraska is four per

New England. No legitimate business

1--WE call for reduction of the interest
rate in Nebraska. Money is plenty here.
In proportion to the abundance Of ordi-
nary commodities in the worlds markets,
tho price of them is dear or cheap. Money
is one Of these commodities, and the same
rule ought to apply to it that applies to
wheat, corn, cattle and hogs. Twelve
per cent. will no longer do in this coun-
try. 1t levies tax upon the trade, and
imposes burdens upon the business
energies Of the people that hinder our
progress and cripple all business i'll
terests. We know it will be said that
our collection laws aud tax.borrowing
habits arc bar to a reduction of this in
terest rate. We deny and denounce this
plea. 1t is false plea, and ought not to
be urged. In these days Of business
prostration our banks owe it to common
justice to let up on this death grip upon
our commercial welfare. They have
grown rich upon their gains. They
ought to be willing to give us civilized
interest.rate from this day. Omaha S
commercial supremacy is teeply concern
ed in this question. The prosperity of
Lincoln, Nebraska City, Fremont, Column

this matter upon the attention Of the
bankers and business men Of this State as

Excursion TO Santa Monica.

The excursion yesterday, given IN
honor of the completion of'the Los
Angeles and Independence Railroad
from Santa Monica to Los Angeles,
was an enjoyable affair. The cars
were advertised to start from the de-
pot on San Pedro street at $3.50 A. NJ.
At O'clock the ten cars which had
been sent up for the excursion were
filed to their utmost capacity and
hundreds We're left, as standing room
could not be found on the ears. At
the appointed time the train started,
and the excursionists had delight
ful ride to the sea. The atmosphere
was balmy and the scenery down the
valley enchanting. Every guest threw
away dull care and all gave up TO the
enjoyment of the OCCASION.
AT 1880 we arrived on the wharf at
Santa Monica. AT least twelve hun
dred people were standing on the
wharf in ten minutes after the ears
stopped. We had no idea that such u
mass of human being could be slowed
away in 50 small n space until we saw
them all congregated on the pier.
They soon divided up into hundred
or more little parties and each party
seemed intent on seeking pleasure to
suit its taste.
Some remained on the wharf to eX-
anime the freight house at the end of
the pier. Others appeared never to
tire looking at the deep rolling waves
The ground awcl!s were very heavy,
and the breaking of the waves was an
interesting sight. The majority OF
the eXctlrsionists passed the time stroll
ling through the embryo city by the
sea, seeking information of its citizens
and examining the surrounding hills
which were in their Winters green.
The return trip was made in forty
minutes and the immense excursion
was safely landed at the depot on San
Pedro street. The ride was pleas
ant and the day II joyful one to all.
No accident or brawl marred the pleas
ure ofitand our business men returned
pleased and delighted. Three rous-
ing cheers were given for the Santa

separated at the depot, and three for

Permanen. RoadWays.

The following pertinent commune
cation on roadways from the City En-
gineer will be read with interest by
our people:
To the Mayor and Council Of Los
Angeles.-
GENTLEMEN: Owing to the great
amount of travel on that portion of
Main and Spring streets, between First
street and the Plaza, it is evident that
the best material procurable should
be used fora permanent roadway. 1t
seems to me that the portion of the
charter relating to grading should be
changed SO as to only compel the
To n sub.grade; and when the amount
of traffic in any street necesssiates
good pavement, the cost of such pave
ment should be made and maintained
by general tax. Unless that is done
the city can never expect to maintain
good streets. There seems to be no
provision in the law for the mainte-
nance OF streets after they are once
improved. / have 10 doubt but the
intention of the law was to provide
for the cutting down of high hills and
the filling up of deep ravines. If the
foregoing change is made in the char
ter, you will observe that there will
be no work done only what would be
actually necessary to the official
grades, and that any work done after
ward in laying q permanent pave
ment would not undo the previous
lxy 10 ha
useless expenditure of money. / have
no hesitation in saying that there
would be less objection to the above
law than to the present.
In fact, the plan suggest ed is the
only one that has been known to work
successfully in other cities that have
been III. as Il the materials for a
good pavement there are n number,
any one of which could be adopted.
The following rules for grading should
be adopted and enforced. No grading
should be allowed between Alameda
street on the East, High street on the
North, New High and Fort streets on
the West, and Sixth street OH the
South, except hy one whole block at q
time, the contractor or contractors to
have the privilege of stopping all
travel during the progress of he work,
SO rs to avoid accidents.
AS the subject of mud and streets is
the all-important subject at present,
this is the time to take some action
toward carrying out my suggestions.
| herewith submit number of the
american Engineering, which con-
tains all the information that is neces-
sary to be known i'm the matter of
modern pavements and street i'm
provements. l find in one article cop
led from the London Engineering that
in Dublin and other European cities
the quantity of mud annually re-
moved was greater than the quantity
of material annually laid on.
AS there is no comparison in size be-
tween our city and those mentioned
in the article, yet the topography of
the business portion of ourc city-lying
as it does at the base of u hills such
that the amount of travel is equally
us great rs in some cities of 100, 600 in
habitants.
Respectfully submitted.
