He shows up the Contract I'm Its
True Light.
Mayor Hazard has written the follow
ing open letter in answer to the address
of the committee appointed to prepare
an address in reply to his message on
the sewer proposition:
To Messrs. John Morton, J. III. Damron,
M. T. OaOens and Other Gentlemen of the
Committee:
have just read remarkable com.
munication entitled "An Address" from
"a committee appointed by the mass
meeting of tax payers, August 9th, to
prepare statement concerning the OBJ.
jections of Mayor Hazard to the pro-
posed sewer plans" I am at a loss to
know why citizens can get together and
do some things collectively that they
would scorn to do individually.
| "The first objection made in the Mayors mes
sage aP1parenty Is that the city under the pro
| Side Irrigation Company the requisite amount
OF sewage to fill its contract with said com
| pany.'
am at loss to know in what part Of
nay message ever made such foolish
statement.
"To be fully informed upon this point we re
ferred it Important proposition that needs the
| investigation of this committee, but one con
jured up by this committee itself, however, and
thereoG to the City Engineer"
Then follows formal certificate from
Mr.. Eaton that there will be "much more
than the amount which the city is re
quired to deliver" I will concede you
ability, gentlemen, to erect silly, puerilt
objections, and then proceed to demolist
them, but why don't you answer my
objection, and the only one 1 make OIL
that proposition? Twill read it to you
as you have evidently forgotten it-every
word of it-and let candid public judge
of what motive may actuate you in evad
ing the same.
IAN agreement should be obtained from this
| company relieving the city from its obligations
of the outfaii sewer, because after the city ha,
gone to the expense of constructing costly
system of sewers to dispose of the sewage In
| the winter time, it ought to be in the power oi
the city to control it in the summer time"
Where do l intimate that the city will
be unable to furnish the South Side Irri.
cation Company its quota of water Read
my statement above, and then read the
statement of Mr.. 8. r. Warfeld, Mr.
Martz to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Los ANGELES, August 20, 1889.
am stockholder in the South Side Irriga
sessment made on Tuesday last of $5, 900 t.
continue the pipe on to land that wants it, tn,
day when President Martz is alleged to hav,
made this offer to the city. and Mr.. MGrtz ha
no authority to make any such proposition a
is contained in his offer published in yesterda!
mornings Tribune, as no meeting whatever ha
been called for that purpose, and no intimatioi
| whatever was ever made at said meeting o
elsewhere authorizing Martz to make sucl
offer. 3. r. WAKEFIELD.
presume this is another option tina
Mr.. Martz is batting the City Counci
with, which will serve its purpose til
after election, and then what authorit,
President Of corporation.has to Civ
away the corporate property for nothin
will be submitted to the Sewer Commit
tee, when it will, after careful delibera
ton, and references to the City Attorney
be determined to be an option and not
contract, and not binding on Mr.. Mart2
1.-THE second objection is to that clause OF tn
: Rose contract which grants to Rose the righ
to the continuous use OF ffty inches of sewer
age, with provision for forfeiture OF easemen
In O. Sc such amount cannot be delivered"
My objection 1t is not my objection
1t is mere recital of one of the forty cd,
onerous conditions contained in this re
markable contract"
"We find two pertinent answers to tn
Mayors contention. The so-called contraG
with Mr.. Rose is but an option for the righto
way"
