none of if can drift to points along the
shore and there deposit.
Fifteenth. By carrying the ouIfslI
1900 feet into the ocean from the shore
and letting the sewage escape twenty
five feet below low water, no sewage will
be traceable in the ocean water, even
with strong currents, at distance of one
and one-half miles from the outlet, and q
chemical analysis will be unable to de-
tect any traces of sewage at distance OF
two miles.
Sixteenth. While Los Angeles, at the
present time, derives no income from the
sale of its sewage for irrigation, and
can presumably derive no income from
such source whilst it is obliged TO solicit
land owners to receive the sewage and
to guarantee the users against loss by
litigation, it is unquestionably fact that,
with an outfall sewer, the city will be
placed in an independent position, and
will be enabled to sell the sewage at
market rates to those who desire its use.
Seventeenth. The income from the
sale of sewage, st current rates, when
the population of the city reaches 2O0,-
600, will be over 3 per cent on the
investment in building the outfall
sewer.
Eighteenth. In view of the above,
the commission recommends the con.
struction of an outfall sewer to Ballona,
with possibly temporary reduction in
the cost, by using wooden fume in
crossing the marches near the sea, and
by contracting for the sale of sewage
water during the irrigation season.
The report considers the sewer sys-
tenn and the storm drain system sepa-
rately.
"This separation is advised chiefly on
account of the difference in cost of the
two systems. There is no sanitary OBJ.
lection to combining the rain water and
the sewage in one and the same pipe, be-
cause large sewers can be egg-shaped, 30
ones with the same small flow of sew
age"
The report states that the sewers are
proportional for a population of 200. 600
people.
"The interior system will be provided
with several large interceptors; one
east bank of the Los Angeles river
southerly to Sixth street, and thence d.
agonally to connection with the out

Afternoon Sc ssion.

The matter of the protests against the
opening and widening of Second street
from Main to Santa Fe avenue came up.
J. NJ. Davis and the Depot Railroad
Company protested on the ground that
the proceedings were taken under the
general law instead of under the city
charter.
A property-owner on the corner of Sec
ond and Los Angeles objected because
enough for his land.
that Mr.. Davis should protest, as he had
been anxious to get the house out of the
way. He moved that the protest be
denied. Carried. The report of the
Commissioners was adopted.
The report of the engineers on the
sewer system was taken up. After some
discussion as to whether it should be
read, it was decided that it should be
heard by every Councilman. The read
ing of the document occupied an hour.
THE ENGINEERS REPORT.
The report first sets forth the manner
and the object of the appointment of the
Board of Engineers. It then reviews
briefly the various plans presented to the
several Councils since 1887, and refers to
that submitted by the Citizens Sewer
Commission a short time since. The
subject is divided into two parts: "The
treatment and disposal of the SEWAGE"
and 1.-THE interior system of sewers" In
discussing the first subject, the report
says: Various methods for this have
been tried. First, strsining the sewage
through coarse strainers; second, coarse
filtration through artificial filters, or
subsidence in tanks; third, chemical
precipitation; fourth, disposal on land
by intermittent filtration or irrigation
fifth, discharge into the eea or water.
course.
Each of these methods is treated at
length and the report etstes that from the
argument "it must appear that on account
OF the nearness OF large areas of irrigable
lands, and the comparative distance to
the ocean, disposal of the sewage by
irrigation is the most suitable method
for Los Angeles. It was, therefore,
necessary to ascertain what lands are
available. The condition of the climate
of this section of the country, and the
scarcity of water demand that none
should be wasted. As the city does not
own lands for sewage disposal, the com.
mission inspected the territory lying
south of it which needs irrigation for the
production of crops, and prepared
circular, which was handed
to all property-holders that could
be reached in the Vernon and
Florence districts and in the d;rec.
ton of BaIlons, inquiring as to their
wishes in reference to sewage, in what
