An Important Suggestion.

EDITORS HERALD-In conversation
with q we'll known civil engineer of this
city on the all-important sewage question,
I am 80 forcibly impressed with his sug-
gestions on the subject that I believe, il
acted or, they would be practical solution
Of the problem.
First. Let the anti-Bond Committee
have petition signed requesting the
Council to postpone the sewer bond elec-
ton for, say, ninety days; and also re-
quest that the Council appoint COM
mittee of its members to confer with the
anti-Bond Committee.
Second. Let this joint committee re-
quest the owners of land lying south of
the city-on both sides Of the Los An
geles river-to meet them on some stated
day with the object that the owners Of
the lands form an irrigation district
under the Wright Irrigation LAW, and
use the city sewage under the provisions
OF that act.
A perusal of the Wright Irrigation Act,
herewith, will at once show it's adspta-
bility to the "present crisis" in our sew
age and financial affairs.
If this plan is acted on and the district
formed, of which there il no doubt, in
view of the offers already made to take
the sewage, l forecast the following re-
suits, viz: A saving to the city of three
quarters Of million dollars, as they need
only to deliver the sewage in a pipe to
the south line of the city; also, an en-.
hancement OF at least 100 per cent in the
value of agricultural lands within the
proposed district. ECONOMY.

questions of counsel, said that at first
Malta had strongly objected to returning
to Garrett's house, saying that she was
afraid, but after q great deal OF persuasion
had consented to go.
Charles Stovey testified that he had
gone to CARROTS house about the 18th
or 14th OF last May, between 10 and II
q. M, to pay some rent, and was admit
ted to the house by Garrett. As he en-
tered the wind from the outside blew
open door 80 that he could see into the
bedroom, where Malta was lying on the
bed, clad in a loose wrapper. Garrett
was in his shirt-sleeves and both OF
them were very much flushed. The
witness drew diagram OF the room,
showing where the bed stood, and he
also indicated the position occupied by
him.
The defense then called Mrs. Edg'
comb in rebuttal, and tried to prove by
her that the bed had been moved from
the position which Mr.. Story said it oc-
cupied, before the date named by him.
The witness said the bed had beer
moved, but did not know at what time,
She drew diagram at the request of Mr.
Williams, and marked the different
places in which the bed had stood. The
court then adjourned until $50 this
morning.

knights TempIar Oonclave.

Referring to the excursion rate OF
$1O7.75 to Washington and return, &C.
count of Knights Templar Conclave, fol-
lowing is from letter OF instructions
from the General Passenger and Ticket
Office of the Southern Pacific Company
"Tickets will be sold at this rate
($107. .75) on September 29th and 30th
and October 1st next. They will be good
going up to October Sth, but for continu.
GUS passage only. They will be good to
return until November 30th, with privi-
lege of stopping en- route. Rate will
be good over any route composed wholly
of roads members of the Transconti-
mental Association. The companies hav-
ing lines between st. Paul and Chicago,
and also between Missouri river and
Chicago, will interchange their coupons
of our tickets, so that passenger going
to Washington through st. Paul and
Chicago can return through Chicago and
Missouri river, and vice versa.
"For tickets from points south Of La
throp, through Portland, the rate must
be increased by double the local fare
between selling point and Lathrop, such
increase, however, not to exceed $24 so.
SUCH rate from Los Angeles or San Di'
ego would be $132.25."

THE GARRETT CASE.
Nest of the Testimony In for Botl
Sides.

Nest of the Testimony I'm for Both
Sides.
The Garrett case occupied the entire
day in Justice Lockwood's court yester-
day. The only new testimony introduced
that was Of any importance was that of
Charles Story.
Drs. K. d. Wise, E. III. Cole and HI. P.
Wing, the medical commission appointed
by request of the defense to examine
Mrs. Edgcomb, were sworn as experts.
Malia's testimony in regard to her con-
dition while in st. Louis, and also her
statement relating to her present condi-
ton, was read. The experts testified
that it was impossible to determine by
an examination whether any such
trouble had existed or not. The request
Tor q medical examination was then with
drawn by the defense.
Garrett was again put on the stand and
testified that he had never had any i'm
proper relations with either Josie Corbett
or Nettie Keyes; that he had considered
them women of virtue and worthy of re-
spect, and had treated them as such.
In a conversation with Mrs. Watson
witness had said that some of
the Garrett family in Baltimore
were insane, and Mrs. Watson suggested
the possibility of insanity in Malta. On
Wednesday Garrett testified that he did
not know whether he was divorced from
Josie Sheridan or not, but yesterday he
corrected that, saying that he had
learned that his wife had secured di-
vorce in So. Louis.
The prosecution here rested.
Mrs. Hodgrass, for the defense, said
she had known the Carrots for some
time; had rooms with them on Spring
street. Garrett told her he was Malia's
father, and requested her to give her
good advice.
The first witness called when the after
noon session opened was Mrs. Joe
Arnold, who testified TO conversations
between Malta and herself in regard to
Garre s. Ia which the girl had spoken of
him 10 ths very highest terms.
W II. Workman vas called by the
defense to testify as 20 the character OF
Garrett. Mr.. Workman, in response to

TOUR OF INSPECTION.
The Beard OF Public works Takes
a Drive About the City.

q Drive About the tttys
The Board of Public Works, in the per-
sons of Councilmsn Bonsall and Wirs-
ching, went out on their customary
weekly drive of inspection yesterday
afternoon, acc ompanied by Mr.. Lownes,
Of the City Engineers Office, W. Z. Nor
ford. Jr., of the Street Superintendent's
Office, and couple OF reporters. The
party drove first to the corner OF Third
and Grand avenue, where the drainage
has been complained OF as imperfect by
reason OF about half a block OF the street
being ungraded. Although no petition
has been filed for the grading OF that
portion of the street, it will probably be
undertaken, nevertheless, as the board
is empowered to do grading on its own
authority, not to exceed two blocks.
The next point for inspection was near
the Boyle Heights power house OF the
Gable Car Company, where complaint
had been made that the company, when
they had finished putting in their extern
sion, had not properly graded the street.
The Street superintendent will probably
confer with the company in the matter.
It was the intention Of the board to
drive over the proposed right Of way OF
tu0 lO6 AnkCl6b anu dSlhO AOoN AVN
their present terminus, at the Sisters
Hospital, into the center of the city, to
depot on New High and Marchessault
streets. Owing to failure to find any
of the officials of the road, the board
did not 20 over the entire route as out
lined in their petition for franchise.
The line will run along New High street
to Alpine and through back of the Baker
Iron Works toward the Chavis canon,
where the hill on the south side will
have to be tunneled.
The board then drove out to the corner
of Figueroa and Washington, where the
zanja running past the property of L. W.
Hellman on the northwest corner has en-
croached upon the street. The board
were of the opinion that curb and
cement channel should be put in. The
next point was Locust street, running
back from Oak, which ex-City Attorney
DAILY petitioned to have graded. Some
difficulty was experienced in finding this
street, which was thickly grown over
with weeds.
The party drove down Washington
street to Toberman, and through to
BROOKLYN avenue. Toberman is thirty
foot street with fine row Of pepper trees
ON one side and handsome residences in
the vicinity. The City Engineer will
look into the matter of its possible
widening.
On Brooklyn avenue the Union Con-
struction Company has been doing some
work in the way of grading and gravel
ing which has not proved satisfactory to
the Street superintendent office. A
large quantity of ground was dug out of
the street, to be used in its graveling, that
is now being carted away without author
ity Of any body, which the Street Superin-
tendent believes will reduce the avenue
below it's proper level. One of the mem
bers of the firm was on hand superintend-
ing the work, and he was warned that he
must cease. The board then drove back
to the CITY Hall.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-23
Another Poser from Mr. Potts.

EDITORS HERALD-I understand from
good authority that Mr.. Eaton now
claims that those sewers designated in
the ordinance as storm-sewers should
not have been called storm-sewers at all,
but that they are for the purpose of con-
ducting the storm-water and sewage into
the river in the rainy season, and to
conduct the sewage into the outfall
sewer in the dry season. If this be so,
why not conduct all the sewage into the
Los Angeles river in the rainy season,
and then use it on the dry, sandy,
porous soil along and near the river in
the dry season, and thus get rid of the
outfall sewer altogether. 1t seems to me
thata little consistency would save vast
amount of the taxpayers money. If the
sewage from large part of the city can
be turned into the river in the winter
time without detriment to the people,
when, according to statements that have
been repeatedly made, it seldom reaches
the ocean, but must remain in the river
at the point where the water ceases to
fow-then the remaining part Of the
sewage can certainly be used and plowed
in on the sandy land in that vicinity
without injury to the people in said To-
cality. But there is another and very
serious objection to running the sewage
and storm water both in the same aque-
duct. 1t is we'll known by Mr.. Eaton and
every other Engineer and Zanjero and
Street Superintendent, and hundreds OF
others, that there never has been fume
or aqueduct or pipeline laid down
by any engineer in the city
or vicinity for the purpose OF
conducting storm water or zanja water
from the river, that did not, within
short time after running the water into
it, fill up from one.fourth to one.half full
Of sand. When this is done, after our
winters rain, does the City Engineer
propose to have the sand cleaned out of
theae storm water sewer drains, or does
he propose to let the sewage run over and
filter through this sand, and thus create
a worse nuisance than to let it remain
covered up in cesspools, as it now is? 1t
seems to me that the city would be in a
worse condition for sewers with the sewer
half full of sand and all this filth running
over it, than it would be to have no sew.
ers at all and TO clean it all out and
take it off and bury it, as it would have
to be, would be terrible job.

Retrenchment

The Retrenchment Committee of the
City Council has been in session for the
last two days, and has had before it a
number of the prominent citizens. They
have given their views as to the best
way in which the expenses of the city
government can be cut down 80 as to
save enough to come within the amount
to be raised by taxes. The committee
will meet again this afternoon, and will
listen to other opinions. Action will not
be taken for some time yet.

THE HILLS ARE DRY.
Their Inhabitants Kick Becaus
Water fs Scarce.

WateE hs rCoNcos
There is the biggest sort of kicking on
the hills west of Olive street, because the
water supply is very inadequate to the
wants of that section. On the crowns of
the hills the flow is very weak at the best,
and sometimes there is no flow at all
But all this would be borne with good
deal of patience, but at night the water
is turned off totally in some, if not in all,
the districts. The people are afraid to
90 to bed in peace, lest a fire should
break out, and there being no water in
the hydrants, nothing would avail to
save the property. 1t is difficult to say
why this is so. There was no such diff
fculty encountered last summer, when
every house on the hills was occupied.
