Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-11-27

did not think it right for the Council to
assist the railroad company in land
speculation.
| Mr.. Sinsabaugh wanted to know where
the land speculation came in. As far as
he understood the matter the only effort
the company was making was to get into
its new depot, which was built for the
| benefit of the city. He did not think
there was any speculation.
After all the amendments had been
acted upon Mr.. Cohn moved that the
matter be set for Friday morning at 10
O'Clock. Carried.
THE SEWER SYSTEM.
The Secretary of the South Side Irriga-
ton Company appeared in answer to the
request to surrender its contract. He
said that the company did not desire to
relinquish its claim to the $50 inches OF
which it could take care. The company
thought it might be as well to give the
Pacific Sewage Company all the sewage
except that which flows in the San Pedro.
street sewer, and all of that except $50
inches. The contract with the city re-
quired the company to take care of all
the sewage in that sewer, but no more.
If new sewers were built then it could
turn over the flow in them to the sewage
company. His company did not care to
relinquish its contract unless it could get
$50 inches from the Pacific Sewage Com
pany.
Mr.. Cohn moved that all action in re-
gard to the Pacific Sewage Company be
postponed until such time as the city
was at liberty to dispose of its sewage.
AS long as the contract with the Irri-
CATION Company was in force the city
could not make a contract with the
other company.
Mr.. w. S. Maxwell asked that the con-
tract be awarded to his company as it
had gone ahead in good faith and had
expended some money already.
Mr.. Cohn said that the South Side Ir.
rigation Company had been very anxious
to give up its contract once, and now
that the city wanted it to do so the COM
pany had discovered that the sewage
was valuable.
Captain Barrett said that he would
vote to postpone until the city was re-
leased from the contract with South Side
Irrigation Company. If the company
desired the sewage it could have all it
wanted, only the city would not be re-
sponsible if too much flowed through the
San Pedro street sewer.
Mr.. Chandler said that the proper
thing to do was to make the South Side
Irrigation Company live up to its con-
tract, and take care of the sewage until
it was ready to let it go.
Mr.. Book moved to postpone the mat
ter until Friday. Carried.
