The investigation has been a
faiInre IN thezmanner in which it
was conducted, and Ia all its re-
suits, except that it led to a repeal
fot the subsidy which was ffauda-
lently procured. This repeal is
proof that Congress does not be-
lieve with the Committee that
most of the corruption fund was
Rsed in stock speculation.

all the resolutions regarding the ap-
pointment of additional employees
The adoption of this shuts off much
solicitation of members.
A resolution by Bagge to appoint
a Committee to control stationery
acquisitions was tabled.
Wilcox of Mariposa did not
think members would steal stationery
while more valuable pickings could
be had.
Mr.. Bagge opposed the resolution for
fifteen dollars of postage stamps. Said
he had been elected on promise to
keep down expenses and he proposed
to pay for all his pastage stamps.
Judge Archer SAID his expenditure
on postage stamps and newspapers was
as much his private matter rs his
board bill.
Wilcox said that if the Legislature
did nothing worse than furnish stamps
they will do wei. He has never yet
been in the Legislature when one
hundred dollars w,il cover his stamps.
Tons OF public documents waited dis
tribution and ought not and would not
be distributed at personal expense of
members. He advised members to en-
courage economy 10y short sessions and
voting down thieving bills.

Special Improvements.

The people of Los Angeles demand
that the new City Council, in their
special improvements, remember that
these special taxes are an immense
weight on property owners. These
random grades, which frequently have
to be corrected after the property has
been taxed with them, are almost un-
bearable, and the reckless system of
sewerage justifies the same structure.
Frequently, owing to the multiplicity
of these special taxes, the real estate
owner, in his financial agony, imag-
ines that he is plucked for the benefit
of street contractors; but we believe
the whole trouble is occasioned by the
lack of scientific system of grades and
sewers. Leaving out the heavy expen-
ses, this uncertain manner in which
streets are successively torn up for gas
pipes, water pipes, sewers, partial
grades and general grades, is a
severe injury to business, and
almost ruinous to our drives
and business thoroughfares. One
way to avoid this is to adopt a
thorough and uniform system of fgrades
and sewers. Let no expensive grade
be attempted until the work Of laying
water pipes and gas pipes is finished,
and the sewers are built, then the
work of grading will not have to be un-
done for years. The City Fathers
should consult the City Attorney on
the question of legality, then get the
advice of the City Engineer before
any street work is projected. In this
way suits will be avoided aud the
property owner will not see with dis
gust that his street is kept dug up and
enlarged for each separate impro ve-
ment. The Council should adopt
some approved system of engineering,
and then commence at the beginning,
letting the work of grading properly
conclude the improvements. In this
way we will have smooth, hard drives
and business thoroughfares, but 9TH
erwise the city will be at great expense
for repairs, and the property owner
will be taxed to death.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-12-10

WE carefully avoid publishing in
the HERALD anything that smacks Of
scandal, but when the whole commu-
nifty is shocked by fragrant violation
of the rules of propriety; when the
laws of God and man are shamelessly
broken, then we publish the facts.
We do this in the interest of good
morals, in defense of society and to
protect the good name of Los Angeles.
1t is not the expose of licentiousness
that injures, but the existence of it,
unrebuked. This explains our early
publication of the DINGMAN infamy.

WE observe that certain political
economists are making bombastic
fight against an allowance of postage
to the members. This is mistaken
economy and does harm instead of
good. The State allows its legislators
q compensation which is only expect
ed to cover necessary expenses, and it
is as unreasonable to require the men,
bers to furnish postage stamps, as it
would be to force them to buy the
stationery for their correspondence.
