Council asks the people to vote to build
sewer to the sea by wSy of Ballona.
The speaker said he could not under
stand why this city should need sewer
Of capacity equal to the needs OF city
as large as New York. He said that
there was enough land just south of the
city limits to take the sewage, and the
South Side Irrigation Company were
alone able to take care of the small
amount of sewage accumulated in this
city.
J. Marion Brooks, the next speaker,
confined his remarks to the question OF
taxation of property should the bonds be
voted, and stated that with the school
and sewer bonds both carried, the rate of
taxation would be higher than the legal
rate of interest in many States OF the
Union.
DR.. Sir sabaugh requested W. S. Moore
TO make few remarks on the question.
Mr.. Moore spoke on the irrigation ques-
ton and reminded the audience of the
visit of the Senatorial Committee on Arid
Lands which has been making exten-
sive investigations in the northern por-
ton of the State and will be here in a lew
days to look into the needs of this sec
ton. The speaker thought it would
seem very strange to this commission to
come to Les Angeles and find the citi-
zens OF the very place that has gained
reputation for i'm provement Of arid lands
bv irrigation had deliberately voted to
run every inch of water owned by the
city into a sewer and run it of to the
ocean.
Councilmen shafer and Hamilton were
invited to speak, which they did, and in
a few short remarks said that they stood
ready to give the citizens OF Los Angeles
a sewer that would be acceptable to them
and wished it understood that they did
not desire to influence any voter for or
The meeting was then adjourned.
THE SEVENTH WARD.
A we'll attended meeting was held in
the seventh ward al the corner OF Fifth
and Wall streets. Mr.. P. M. Scott was
elected Chairman and Mr.. @. P. Kearney
was selected as Secretary. The meeting
was opened by an address by Mr.. Scott,
who opposed the bonds strongly on sew
eral grounds, one of which was that the
sewer water would be wasted by run
ming through the outfall to the ocean.
Mr.. William Ward also opposed the
bonds in logical address, and Judge Il;
A. Ling urged everybody to work hard
to defeat them on Friday next. The
meeting then adjourned and large
number OF people signed the roll agree
ing to vote against the bonds.
| ATTACKING HAZARD.
| A few of those who wish to see the
bonds 90 through stood out in the open
, air of Court street last evening to hear
some speeches in favor of that side OF the
question. Captain Mackey, John Ryan,
! Fred Eaton and @. Farland addressed
the meeting. Mr.. Mcfarland sailed
: into Mavor Hazard whom he denounced
