Au Old Propostti on, with Much

The Tinses and Colonel Blanton Dun
can think they are presenting novel
views respecting the sewage OF the city
of Los Angeles. AS matter of feet,
everything of value in the suggestions
made in the columns of our contempo-
rary was embodied in proposition
made to the City Council on the 10Th
day of November, 1888, by Mr.. ]. G.
DAILY. Mr.. DAILY was at that time City
Attorney, but he expressly disclaimed
making it in his official capacity, and
avowed his readiness to furnish the city
bonds in any Gum to carry out his under
taking in good faith. To show how
clearly and absolutely the ground taken
by the Times and by Colonel Duncan
was covered, we quote the text of Mr..
Daly's proposition, giving his introduc-
tory remarks:
think it is beyond question that no
other city of the United States, claiming
a like position in population, wealth and
intelligence, can be found in like sani-
tary condition to Los Angeles city.
Without rausipg to descant on the causes
leading to this condition, but recognizing
the fact that the financial interests and
sanitary welfare of this entire commun-
ity demand that immediate and effective
action be taken in the direction OF fur
nishing this city with complete system
of sewerage, consistent with sanitary
laws and scientific appliances, and
with this object in view, l will lay be-
fore your honorable body proposition, to
be governed by the ordinary rules of
business and the laws of the State of
California, the city to know just what it
shall receive, as shown upon maps and
profile, and what it shall pay for it when
received.
Here are the several clauses of Mr..
Daly's plan:
First. A good and sufficient bond shall
be given to the city in any required sum,
confederation the faithful performance
of any contract that may be entered
into.
Second. All of the Council proceedings,
record entries of the Clerk and Superin-
tendent of Streets shall be approved by
the undersigned.
Third. The City Council shall pass,
and the Mayor approve, all ordinances
and resolutions required by the laws Of
the State to give validity to the proceed
ings and the final contracts, and such
further ordinances and resolutions as may
be necessary for the introduction and en-
forcementof an approved sanitary system
OF sewage.
Fourth. will have furnished all the
materials and labor required in the con-
struction OF the entire sewage system of
the city, according to the Eaton plans or
such other plans as the Council may
adopt; all the materials to be of the
highest grade (the Akron pipe now in the
city yard to be used and the city allowed
the same price as allowed in the con.
struction of the system for the same
pipe.) All lateral sewers to be assessed
pro rata upon the property fronting there
on, as by law provided. All interceptirg
main and branch main sewers to be

benefited thereby, as by the general law
provided; but said assessment shall not
be paid until the property as
sessed is reached in the construc.
tion of the system and connection |
Herewith. made available by the con-
struction and completion of the sewers in
the assessment section of the work,
within which the property assessed is
situated. The price to be paid to be de-
termined by the Council and other party,
and fixed at maximum price or sum
per lineal foot, within each assessment
district. Work to be commenced five
days after signing of contract, and vigor-
ously prosecuted to completion. To
commence delivery OF sewage of the CEN
tral sewage district at the south boun-
dairy OF the city within ninety days after

when complete and paid for, shall be
turned over to the city of Los Angeles
free and discharged from all debts, liza
bilities or obligations for material or
labor.
Fifth. l will have constructed ard
south boundary Of the city to the Pacific
Ocean according to any plans and speci,
fications adopted by the Council, said

or in gold coin, or both, or by assess
ment upon all the lands, lots, etc. (linear
as provided by law, bonds
to be payable in ten years if desired

the Council and other party contracting.
Sixth. Or will construct the necessary 1
,utfall sewer lines required for the most ,
approved sewer farm, furnishing land,
,r city to furnish land, specifications to

Should this proposal meet with the ap-
,royal of your honorable body, | will u
levots myself at once in the direction to G
urnish this community with the most =
,erfect sanitary system OF sewerage that
nay be had.
