ANOTHER SURVEY?
THE MORE YOU GET THE MORE
TROUBLE YOU GET.
There Are Four or Five of the Boundaries
Now, and Each Succeeding One Com
plicates the Matter Worse.

City Assessor Fischer came before the
City Council last Monday and asked to
have the western boundary of the city
resurveyed. This news appeared in the
papers yesterday morning and created a
good deal of comment on the streets. A
citizen who is thoroughly conversant
with the facts met HERALD reporter
on the street and entered into discus
sion of the matter. Before the talk
ended the reporter knew little of
boundary surveys in Los Angeles. This
information will be of some interest to
property-holders.
1t appears that there have already
been a good many resurveys of the
boundaries. This same western line has
been run several times. Each artist gets
a new curve, and there are now four con-
the city, zigzaging and chasseying all
them:
There is first the 'patent" boundary
and 'charter" boundary, which happen
posed to run near the range line between
ldii SSo lO dilN NSHp, puo iiOt IuiuC
this line.
Frank Lecouvreur' survey locates the
line 80 chains, 80 links east of the range
line. The Government survey places it SO
chains, S6 links east of the same line.
This is at point directly west of the
center point OF the city, in the center OF
the old plaza.
On the township line at the south
west corner OF the city Lecouvreur's line
is 30 chains, 56 links east of the range
line; the Government survey puts it "a
chains, 20 links for the same line.
North of the end of Ward street there
have been five surveys of the west
boundary OF the city. Four of these
run the full length of the
line. The survey by Reynolds &
Moore carries this line twelve chains
further north than Lecurvreur's survey.
There have also been five locations of
the north boundary of the city, with the
same happily confusing results as in the
next boundary. Is this not about con-
fusion worse co1ffounded enough, and
quite enough of it, without setting a
new artist to increase the uncertainty as
to where mans property begins and
ends?

gloom following the bursted ''boom, !"
viz, in September, 1888. They lookupon
Los Angeles county and herneighbors as a
region of great promise and almost un-
limited possibilities. The confidence of
such men in our future is very agree
able circumstance, and the fact that they
have not been afraid to expend millions
here shows that that confidence is of a
very earnest and substantial character.
They are not philanthropists but busi-
ness men, and they expect to make
money instead of dropping it.
For town OF yesterday, so to speak.
Redondo Beach shows up in a very at
tractive and promising style. Ii she
can keep up her ratio OF growth she
will soon be veritable wonder.

venience and economy would be sub
served by letting well enough alone.

THE Board of Supervisors have con-
cluded to advertise the sale of $500, 900
worth of county bonds in order to COM
plete the new Court House. They have
been influenced to this course by the
fact that it would be scarcely wise to
sell the old Court House and the other
property of the county just at this time,
when real estate would probably not
realize as much as it would in a year or
so hence. There is no doubt saving OF
money to the people by this action OF
the BOARD

IT IS pleasant to know that occa-
sionally the people OF Los Angeles not
only get their moneys worth but some
thing more. The Council yesterday
opened the bids for the principal inter-
ceptor sewer, and they proved to be
$4,000 less than had been expected.
In the sewer for the Arroyo de los Reyes
the bids were $4,000 less than the Coun-
Gil had expected, gagged by figures
which had been furnished by the City
Engineer, who had based his estimate
upon the price OF brick and labor at the
time the proposals were ordered adver-
tised. The taxpayer will kindly make a
note OF this fact and felicitate himself
accordingly. 1t is not often that the
municipality is allowed to come out
ahead in this gratifying style.

Mr.. Hellman is Better.

Mr.. H. w. Hellman, of the Farmers
and Merchants Bank, received a tele-
gram yesterday from his sister-in-law
stating that Mr. l. w. Hellman was
much better. 1t appears that Mr.. He'll
man was attacked by something like
pneumonia. The climate OF San Fran
cisco is rather trying to a system ac-
customed to the mild weather of the
semi-tropics, as Mr.. Hellman has been
for 80 years.

Cry Assessor Fischer asks to have
the western line of the city resurveyed.
This looks like proposition to make
confusion worse confounded. Portions
OF this line have been surveyed five sue
eessive times, while other portions have
undergone the process three times.
This is often enough for the average tax
payer. Each several survey has de-
veloped new variations, and both con-

THE Flower Festival this year is a
ton than it has been at any time in the
past. The designs, many of which were
contributed by the leading architects in
the city, are ornate and beautiful. There
is the old abundance, variety and ex-
the ladies have shown exquisite taste in
their grouping and arrangement. Every
thing about the display is calculated to
arouse the enthusiasm of those esthet-
ically inclined. The attendance thus
far has been good, but it should be in
creased. No visitor to Los Angeles
should miss seeing this delightful series
of floral spectacles.

THE BLOCKADE In CACHE.
The L. s \. Tied rp.-Aecident.-
Coal Famine in logan.

LOGAN, Utah, January 90, 1890
Especial to the DEsERET News. i
Logan is practically cut of from
the world out.ide. There has been
no Tain from the south since Friday.
One from the north came in on Sat
urday and tried to go out on Sunday
morning. A snow plow with three
engines was sent ahead to the divide
on the south side of the valley. 1t
would proceed a mile or two, then
the three engines came backihitched
on to the train, and .helped to pull il
up to where the plow had stopped;
This made an array OF five engines
pulling ms many cars up the divide.
When within two or three miles
Of Collinston, the pressure Of snow
on the plow, and the force with
which 1t was struck, threw the pillow
from the track, breaking il up. See
ing the first engine going also. the
engineer jumped, but the fireman
remained at his post. The engine
turned upside down, smashing the
cab TO pieces, with the fireman
underneath. 1t was expected that
he was crushed and mangled to
death, Int he presently crawled out
OF a hole just big enough TO let him
through. He was not much hurt
The train came back here, and late
in the afternoon started for Pocatello,
il it got through, to put
the passengers on the Short Line
and them via Granger to Ogden. All
but about half a dozen Of the pas
sengers undt rtook the trip, which is
certainly hazardous and as certain
Of delay as remaining here.
A large force Of men Is at work
on the Divide, where the
snow Is three TO six feet deep-and
the train may go through tomorrow.
The wagon roads are also filed
up in every direction. To add TO
the discomfort of the situation, n
coal famine prevails, and there is
no immediate prospect of relief.
A report just received says that
the northern train is now stuck in
The snow between Oxford and Battle
Creek, % miles north.
