Another message from the Mayor re-
turning the ordinance fixing the rates OF
hack hire, unsigned, was read.
The ordinance was referred to the Fire
Commissioners for alteration.
The Zanja Committee recommended
that petition to construct q pipe line on
Figueroa street, be denied, as the water
could not be turned off at present.
Adopted.
The City Attorney was given one week
TO file an opinion as to whether a specifi-
cation relating to street paving was legal.
Mr.. Cohn moved that the City Attor-
ney take action to prevent the Cable
Railroad Company injuring the sewer at
the corner OF Seventh and Fort streets,
and that the Street Superintendent stop
work there Immediately. Carried.
Mr.. Cohn said that since the right OF
way had been obtained for sewer to the
ocean, there was no obstacle to building
the outfall sewer before the winter COM
menced. The cost would be met by
$4,000 in cash and $4,000 in bonds,
which the Council had right to issue
without submitting the question to vote
OF the people. Mr.. Cohn said that
thirty days after the works had been
commenced the citizens would be able
to connect with the outfall sewer. The
pipe would be $4,000 feet long and would
empty in the Ballona creek. He could
find a contractor who would take $50, 900
in cash and $4,000 in bonds for the
work.
School Superintendent w. NJ. Friesner
appeared and said that proposition had
been received to sell the school bonds if
the Council would appropriate enough
money to equal two per cent. on the
amount of the bonds. The rate OF inter-
est, five per cent. was considered too
low and ii the two per cent. we're appro-
priated, the bonds could perhaps be sold.
Referred to the Finance Committee.
The Land Committee, City Surveyor
and City Attorney recommended that a
quit claim deed be given to Mr.. F.
Kelly, on condition that he transfer to
the city certain lands covered by Reser-
voir No. 4. Adopted.
The City Surveyor reported that the
sidewalks of David Carr had been laid
on wrong grade furnished by former
employee Of the Surveyors office. Re-
ferred to the City Attorney.
The City Surveyor also reported that
he had notified Mr.. Forman of the Los
Angeles Cable Company to have the
curve at the corner of Fifth and Spring
streets changed, but had seen no work
done in that direction yet. Referred to
the City Attorney to take action in the
matter.
The Surveyor also presented specif-
cations for a bridge across Downey
avenue, to cost about $4,000.
EAMr. Hanley moved that bids be asked
for the bridge, each bidder to furnish his
own plans.
Mr.. Collins said that If there was any
money in the treasury next year, then
there should be bridge across Seventh
street as we'll as Downey avenue. Mr.
Hanley's motion was carried by vote
OF Z to 6.
