THE DOOMED BONDS.
The Taxpayers Are All Opposed
TO Them.

The Taxpayers Are All Opposed
TO Them.
Yesterday, again, the HERALD put in a
few hours in the task of interviewing cit
izens on the Ballona sewer route scheme.
No man was approached whose bearings
could by any means be coDjectured, and
all interviews will be here presented.
B. E. DeHart was the first victim of
the news-pump. He said that he is
most emphatically against the scandal
GUS scheme to force tho people into SO
extravagant an outlay of money at this
time. He is opposed to the storm water
drain part OF the system, and he thinks
all the water of the river will be needed
for irrigation. He finds nearly all the
people on the hills opposed to voting the
bonds as presented. His partner, Mr..
Rawson, was for the bonds at first, but
has been led to change by thoughtful
study of the subject. Mr.. Stevens,
book keeper for MIR. Rawson, was also
for the bonds once, but has come over to
the other side, as he' has better under
stood the plans. Mr.. De Hart's brother
in-law, L. T. Phillips, has also changed
from the side Of the bond men to that

FRANK sHRIER.
Frank Shrier was found on Spring
street in a barber shop. He said he is
for the sewers. There may be irhperiec.
tions in the plane, but they average well,
he thinks, and are about as good as we
are likely to get. All the BARRIERS in the
shop said they would vote for the bonds.
R. N. BULLA, ESQ.
R. N. Bulla, Esq, said he would vote
mo" on the proposed bonds. He had
been inclined to favor the proposition
and would have done 30 had the objec-
tions to the plan not been grave ones.
He thinks the scheme lacks in econom-
ical features. He would be glad to vote
for proper sewer system, but does not
like to vote for plan that will cost him
so much more than is necessary. He
lives on the hills, and in order to get any
benefit for this great outlay, he would be
obliged to spend very large sum of
money besides his share of the bonds.
MANY OPPOSED TO THE SCHEME.
A knot of young men, all taxpayers.
A. f. Mcdonald, Frank A. Bradshaw,
r. Zellner and W. G. Bradshaw, are ali
opposed to the bonds and will do all in
their power to defeat the scheme. Their
objections are the same in the main as
nearly all the people take.
JUDGE BRUNsoN's mo"
Judge Anson Brunson is for sewers
most emphatically, but opposed to the
Ballona scheme quite as smphatically.
He finds all the taxpayers he comes in
contact with are of the same mind.
EDR. r. G. CUNNINGHAM.
DR.. r. G. Cunningham is opposed to
the proposed scheme. He has been so
all the time, and finds a full majority
of the people are 80. He says Mr.. Eaton's
strongest reason for the Ballona scheme
is his strongest reason for opposing that
plan. If the sewage is all to be clari.
fed before being run into the ocean. he
thinks there is but one thing to Justify
doing that-that is to filter the sewage at
the city limits and then use it for irriga-
ton.
A. S. M'DoNALD IN DOUBT.
A. S. Mcdonald is not quite sure what
to do, but thinks he will vote for the
sewers. He objects to the storm water
drains, but is inclined to have sewers
anyway.
FRANK M'coY.
Frank Mccoy is for sewers, but against
the Council scheme. He thinks as good
