The City Council failed to have a
quorum yesterday at very critical
stage of our municipal affairs. If
eight members-who are a quo
rum-had put in an appearance,
there Is no doubt but that the Pc
riod at which the city taxes be-
come delinquent would have been
postponed for thirty days-a boon
which our people have asked and
which ought to have been conceded
to them. Under the charter the
City Council consists OF twelve
members, of whom, as we have
said, eight are quorum. But, az
. matter OF fact, there are only
nine members. The Messrs.
Thompson, Vslle and Tamiet,
though duly elected, are no longer
Councilmen, the former ceasIng to
be-s0 by resignation and the two
latter through that rule of the
Council which declares vacant the
seat Of any man who fails, for four
weeks in succession, to occupy 1t.
It IL . somewhat curious cir
oumstance that the Council have
never ordered elections to fill these
vacancies. We understand that
they justify their neglect on the
ground OF the considerable expense
Involved In special election. The
result Of their well or I'll advised
economy is that II eight Of the nine
members fail to put In an appear
sncs there is no quorum and no
session, with, as in the case Of yes
tsrday, serious Inconvenience to
tax payers. The cause of the fall
nFs of quorum yesterday after
noon Is easily explained. Mr.. Apa-
blasa thought that the time had ar
rived for . little healthful recrea-
lion, SO he took gun and dog and
hied him down to the Malaga
ranch, to try what luck he would
have with the quail, snipe, jack
'abbits and squirrels which there
Ibound. Mr.. Hoilenbeck, who is a
Wealthy man with love Of fine
ssnsry, is amusing himself just

WHILE we are in general op-
posed to anything like municipal
speculation, there is one invest
ment which the city of Los Ange-
les could make that, we think,
would be highly advantageous to
her, viz, the purchase Of the Feliz
ranch. This valuable property 10
In the market and it could now be
purchased at a very low figure.
The decisions of the courts have es-
tablished in its proprietors riparian
rights whose acquisition by the
city would of themselves be inval-
liable. We have no doubt what
ever but that the purchase of this
property, in the present depression
Of real estate, would not only not
add to our municipal burdens but
could be made the means, at an
early day, of materially reducing
the city debt. We hold TO the be-
lief that Los Angeles is destined to
be very considerable city. 1t has
become the fashion for cities to
have public parks. Most munich
palities, however, have deferred
the purchase of lands for parks
until they have swollen enormous
ly In value. But, admitting thai
we don't want, or cannot afford a
park on Il considerable scale, we dc
want the water rights of the pro
prietors of the Felz ranch. If the
municipality does not desire to
hold the land permanently it car
be subdivided and sold at a timG
when real estate is in demand, will
such restrictions as to water as the
authorities should prescribe. The
property is in the market, as we
are informed by Mr.. Richard Gar.
vey, the agent. With the value at
taching to it from recent decision.
of the courts we do not think it viii
stay there long. 1t is certainl,
more valuable TO the city of Los
Angeles than it would be to any
private purchaser.
