over First street be accepted; that the
bid of the California Bridge Company to
remove the First street bridge to Seventh
street be accepted, and that the plans Of
the San Francisco Bridge Company for a
bridge over Seventh or Ninth street be
accepted. The total cost of the bridges
will be as follows: Downey avenue,
$57 $40; First street bridge, $67 400 !;
Seventh or Ninth street bridge, $5,973 ;
removal of First street bridge, 5000.
Total, $134,0l3, of which the city is to
pay $69,0l3 and the railroad companies
$65 900.
Mr.. Book objected to the bridge over
First street, because he thought the
grade would be too great.
Captain Barrett said that Mr.. Book
was wrong as to the heavy grade. The
grade would be but one foot raise in
every fifteen feet.
Mr.. Hanley said that this matter had
reached this point several times and had
gone no further.
Mr.. Collins said he objected to viaduct
bridges.
Mr. Sinsabaugh said that the public
ought to be protected by viaduct bridges
over the railroad tracks.
Mr.. Chandler said that if the bridges
were not built it would cost the city
millions of dollars. He hoped that the
matter would go through.
Mr.. Collins thought that the roadway
of the bridge proposed for Seventh street
should be more than eighteen feet.
The report was then adopted, Mr..
Cohn alone voting against it.
Mr.. Cohn moved that the report of the
committee be published in the papers.
Lost.
Captain Barrett moved that the new
bridge be placed on Seventh or Ninth
street, the matter to be decided by the
property-owners, the street giving the
most money to receive the bridge. Car
ried.
The propositions of the railroad COM
panies as published heretofore in the
HERALD, offering to give $65 900 for the
bridges, were read and accepted.
THE SEWERS.
An ordinance repeating an ordinance
passed some time ago for an outfall sew
er, was read and adopted, Mr.. Lowell
alone voting no.
An ordinance declaring the necessity
for an outfall sewer was lost, Messrs.
Hanley, Chandler and Lowell voting no.
Mr.. Chandler said that if the ordin-
ance provided for the construction of the
whole sewer system at once he would
vote for it. He moved that the sense of
the Council be taken as to whether the
whole system should be built for
$3.50, 900.
Amended so as to read $3.50, 900 for
outfall sewers and 5000, 900 for the inter-
cepters. Carried, Mr.. Cohn alone voting
against it.
Mr.. Chandler moved that the action be
taken on the outfall sewer ordinance.
Carried, Mr.. Lowell alone voting no.
Mr.. Chandler moved that the ordin-
ance be adopted. Carried.
The City Attorney was instructed to
draw an ordinance calling an election.
The proposition of the Cable Road
Company to pay $4,000 for the bridges
was read and accepted.
MIR. Hitler move that the action OF the
Superintendent of Streets in accepting
Seventh street be approved. Carried.
An ordinance declaring Los Angeles
street open was read and adopted.
Mr.. Chandler moved that the City
Attorney draw an ordinance providing
for the construction of the intercepting
sewers.
Mr.. Hazard omplained that the pipes
OF his water company had been tapped
by the Street Superintendent for sprinkling
purposes. He thought that the pipes OF
the City Water Company should have
been tapped instead of those of the East
Side Water Company.
Mr.. Collins moved that the hydrant be
taken off, for if it was not the people
would not get any water.
