Ii win Prevent a Flood.

Since the great era of progress set in
nearly all the sand used for mortar-mak
ing has been taken out of the bed of the
Los Angeles river. Untold tons have
been removed until fine channel has
been cleared all the way from the South
ern Pacific bridge above the toma of the
Zania Madre down to the lower end o
the Santa Fe yards. Lines of teams are
at work daily hauling more sand ant
gravel from the bed of the river. The
trouble has been that in flood time the
bed of the river was heaped
with the wash of a hundred floods
before this one, and the channel wal
bank high with sand and gravel. The
natural result was that the water over
flowed in all directions and took to the
streets in preference to its own channel.
So much gravel and sand have been re-
moved for building and other purposes
that it would require big food and long
continued to get over the bulkheads
along the river.

defendant had consented and would sub
stitute his attorney from San Diego, fol
whom he had telegraphed. The reques
was granted and the case was continued
until this morning.

SECOND STREET.
A Th0roughfare that Needs Im
mediate Attention.

n NCOuS Athh-
mediate Attention.
Second street is the only means of ac-
cess to the center of the city for many
dwellers on the hills to the west. There
is large, an intelligent and a growing
population in that district. Under these
circumstances one would naturally sup
pose that the street would be kept in
good condition. But such thought will
prove on investigation to be very prepos-
ferrous. Right in the heart OF the city it
is in an infamous plight. This remark
does not apply to the street below Main
street and down to the Santa Fe depot
That stretch is bad indeed. 1t is tortu-
Gus, badly bridged, badly sidewalked,
or more correctly speaking not side
walked or paved at all. Great
mudholes cover much of it, and
it is nearly impossible. Yet
by it all the arrivals by the
Santa Fe road must reach the city. But
between Main and Fort streets this
thoroughfare is in so sorry a plight that
its condition would disgrace backwoods
village the spring after the woods were
burned. Immediate attention is de-
manded on Second street from Fort to
the Santa Fe depot.
The same is true of the street nearly
everywhere west of Bunker Hill avenue.
From this last street to Hope is a steep
grade. But this block of Second street
is in very bad condition. On one side
the cut is only partially made, and that
side is not passable at all. At the Hope
street crossing there is deep fill, but
only very narrow wagon way is foun d
on either side of the street-car track.
1t would be a dangerous place for
one to attempt to drive skittish
horse past the cable cars. Beyond Pea ri
street along by the cable road engine
house the street is in horrible condi-
ton after even light rain. The water
lies in the roadway, and heavy teaming
has cut it so as to render it impassable.
The consequence is the teams all take the
sidewalk which has been laid at a big
expense to the property holders, and this
valuable and necessary improvement is
destroyed.
1t may not be any PERSONS fault that
these facts exist. But, whether the
fault of some negligent official, or
the carelessness of penurious property
holders, the street in its present state is
disgrace to 80 fine and beautiful city
as Los Angeles.

The Indian Mounds Will. Re-
main as an East Side
Attraction.
Merry Sons Of Momus Make
the RaftePs Resound With
Laughter.
A New Lodge Room Dedicated
by a Host Of Choice
Spirits.

The outlook is that the residents of
tiently awaited the location of public
breathing place in their midst, are
doomed to disappointment. At the
meeting of the board of park commits
sioners Monday afternoon, resolution
was passed resembling the act of the
commission passed Oct. l, 1887, establish
ing Indian Mound park. The reasons
for the action of the board are many,
but the principal one is the unreaSon-
able demands of several owners OF the
property which it was necessary to con-
denim. When the idea OF park in the
vicinity of the Indian mounds was first
considered by the board, ii was deci ted
to condemn but single block. With
this the residents were not satisfied,
however. and a public meeting was
called and committee appointed to
wait upon the commissioners. The
testimony of well-informed real estate
holders was produced, and with the as
surance of the citizens committee that
the cost of the property would not ex-
coed ZOO, the commissioners were i'll
duced to extend the limits of the park
to tract embracing twenty two acres.
When the matter of the condemnation
of the property came up before the
board of public works they assessed the
damages to the owners at Sill. 400,
which they considered very liberal fig
urps, being $50, 400 i'll excess OF the
value placed upon the property by the
residents of that section. Benefits
amounting to so per cent of this sum
were assessed upon adjoining property,
and the park fund was to be drawn
upon tor tine balance. When the mat
ter came up before the board
of pnbiic works last week for q
final adjustment of benefits and
damages objections were heard Oh all
sides. The owners Of adjoining prop
erty claimed that the benefits assessed
were too high, and the owners of prop
erty condemned held that the damages
allowed were too small. Only one man
was satisfied with the amount of dam
ages assessed. Another. who was
awarded $500, claimed $4,000: an
other awarded $1,000 claimed $4,000:
another awarded $1,000 claimed S25,-
600; and another awarded $500 wanted
$500, the excess over the award of the
board amounting to $1,000. All as
serted their rights in the matter and ex-
pressed determination to contest the
case in the courts. The attitude of all
property holders concerned was SO un-
favorable to the improvement that it
was decided to drop the idea of public
PARK in that vicinity, and the annulling
resolution was offered by DR.. Schiff-
man, the Dayton's bluff representative
Oh the commission The action of the
park commissioners was yesterday
formally communicated to the board of
public works, aud the interested prop
erty holders will at once be officially

Suit Against Loan Company to
Prevent a Foreclosure.

Prevent Foreclosure.
John T. Purves filed suit in the dis
trict court yesterday against the Mime
sofa Mortgage and Loan company, re-
citing thatsin September, 1887, he bOr-
rowed $50 from defendant for thirty
days. He was required to give as Sc
curity for the loan chattel mortgage
On horse. buggy and harness. A short
time afterward he needed $50
more, and again effected a loan
with defendant. this time giving chat
tel mortgage on'his household furniture,
valued at $500. When the first note be-
came due he paid interest at the rate of
10 per cent per month and was allowed
to renew it. This practice was cOntin-
ued until plaintiff had paid the princi-
pal of the notes, interest at the rate of
l20 per cent per year and $50 over.
Then the defendant demanded the pay
ment of the face of the notes and
threatened that unless they were paid
defendant would seize the. property
mortgaged. Plaintiff demanded the re-
turn of the notes, but this was refused.
Wherefore he instituted proceedings to
restrain the defendant from carrying
out his threats,
