FIRST STREET.
The Grade Discussed Before Mayor
Hazard

The same arguments that have been
made before the Board of Public Works,
the Council and in property-owners'
meetings, in relation to the First-street
grade, were heardsyesterday morning by
Mayor Hazard. A week ago the Council
passed an ordinance of intention to es-
tablish the grade of First street, from
Broadway to the west city limits, SO that
in no place will it have rise of more
than one foot in twenty-five feet. This
provides for tunnel about 450 feet long
under Grand avenue and Bunker Hill
avenue, and is opposed by number of
the property-owners on the hill who de-
sired grade of one foot rise in ten feet
from Grand avenue easterly. On the
other hand the people residing beyond
the hill are desirous of having the grade
established according to the ordinance
passed. This ordinance is now in the
hands of Mayor Hazard for signature,
and it was to obtain the views of
| the property-owners that he called
the meeting yesterday morning. The
representatives of the people residing
west of the hills argued that they were
cut off from the business center of the
city, and that, as First street would be
street reaching from one boundary line
to the other, if graded as desired, it was
the street of all others that should have
a traffic grade. The people on the hills,
through their representatives. urged
that the grade as proposed would leave
them without good grade and would
injure them greatly. A number of
speakers on both sides were heard, and
the Mayor took the matter under con-
sideration. He has two or three days
yet to hold the ordinance before he
must return it, with or without his sig
nature, and it is not anticipated that he
will make his decision publics before

meuded,

At the meeting of the Board of Fire
Commissioners held yesterday morning
in the Mayors Office, there were present
Mr.. Kuhrts in the chair, and Messrs.
Moore and Keefe.

approved.

pended until May 1st for having absented

Ocean View and Union ave-
nue., Bonnie Brae and Fourth
streets, Belmont and Silver streets,
Iona drive and Silver street, Lucas
avenue and Third street, Bixel and
Beaudry avenue, Bellevue and Beaudry
avenues.
The Chief also recommended that a
new hydrant be placed at the corner of
Fifteenth and San Pedro streets; that
the hydrant on the corner of First and
Los Angeles streets be moved to the line
of the street, and that the hydrant in
front of j. Workman's driveway at BOYLE
Heights be moved. On motion of Mr..
Keefe the Council was requested to carry
out the above.
The application of J. w. Hyland for
position as callman was referred to the
Chief.
A communication was received from
G. j. Denis, attorney for the owners of
the fire alarm system, and was referred
to the Chief Engineer.
Proposals for the furnishing of fire
alarm boxes were received as follows,
and were referred to committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Kuhrts, Keefe, Moore
and Chief Strohm: w. Griggs, agent,
to furnish seven boxes at $120 each, sim
liar to those now in use, delivered on
board the cars at Omaha, Nebraska, and
California Electric Works, boxes, de-
livered at the city hall, Los Angeles, at
