copies of the Sidewalk Ordinance were
ordered printed, and the Superintendent

tices to all parties who are liable under

THE RAILROAD LEvEE.
The City Attorney presented an or
dinance providing for the construction
of levees, on the western side of the
river, by the Riverside, Los Angeles and
Santa Ana X. h. Co. Mr.. Velsir
moved that the ordinance be adopted
and the franchise granted. Mr.. Hol-
brook moved the suspension OF the rules
of printing. Mr.. Stearns objected to
the granting of franchise similar in
character 10 the one under considera.
tion, basing himself principally upon the
fact that in this case the city gives
everything and the railroad company
gives nothing in return.
MIR. Sinsabaugh, Mr.. Stearns occupying
the char, replied to the preceding gen.
tieman's objection, and said that he be-
lieved that the adoption of the ordin'
ance would be one of the wisest meas
ures taken by this Council. He said
that the company meant to do most
everything, and that the land to be
given by the city was at present com.
paratively useless ana valueless.
