ANOTHER SCHEME.
A PROPOSAL TO BUY LOT OF
SPRINKLING CARTS.
How the New Sprinkling- Wagon Boomers
Are Trying to Work Their Plan-Some
Interesting Facts for Taxpayers.

A HERALD reporter yesterday discov-
cred another little scheme which has
been worked very quietly for about a
month past, whereby it is proposed,
and will undoubtedly be attempted, to
saddle an expenditure OF about $25 ,000
on the already sufficiently taxed prop
erty owners of this city. For about a
month or so agents of two or three of
the large eastern wagon manufacturing
establishments have been trying to in
duce some of the members of the board
of health and city council to recon-
mend to the council the purchasing of
a number of wagons for street-sprink
ling purposes, and it is said they have
succeeded to some extent. The COM
pany which has the contract to do the
work at present employ not less than
fifty wagons day, and at times, under
the direction OF the superintendent of
the work, has been compelled to use as
many as sixty wagons daily.
During the past two weeks or so a
number of experiments have been made
with several of these new wagons, on
San Pedro street, but they did not
prove, it is claimed, as satisfactory, or
do the work as well, as those now in
use. The proposed new wagons, landed
in Los Angeles, will cost $400 piece, or
$24. 900 for the sixty wagons necessary
to do the work. The scheme, it is said,
is to induce the board of health to rec
ommend the purchase of these wagons,
or, failing in this, to have the council,
when the new bids to do all the street
sprinkling are advertised, to insert in
the contract that the work must be done
by using the style of water sprinkler
that the agents are now trying to boom.
The last proposition is as bad as
the one to have the council pur-
chase the wagons, for the simple
reason that should any contractor be
compelled to use these specified patent
wagons it necessitates the contractor
purchasing an entire new outfit, and the
bid to do the work will OF course be
correspondingly higher. By the above
it will be plainly seen that the boldness
OF the scheme lies mainly in getting the
council to order such specified wagon
to be used in doing the work. By leav-
ing out such a clause leaves out the
new wagon sprinkler boomers" for
they could not then compete with 9TH
ers. The reporter yesterday was shown
the present contract to do the work by
City Clerk Teed. 1t shows that the
work is being done at cost of two dol
lars and seventy cents per cart day.
This includes the horses, wagon, driver
and water, and each wagon must carry
at least 800 gallons. The contract, which
expires next January, also reads that it
may continue during the pleasure of the
council. 1t would undoubtedly be more
agreeable to the taxpayers to have the
contract continue than be compelled to
pungle up $25 5000, and then pay for
horses and labor. There is nothing like
nipping these expensive schemes in the
bud.

GOVERNOR MARKHAM.
HE TALKS ABOUT THE RAISE IN
ASSESSMENTS
He Thinks 1t Unjust to Blame the Admin
istration-The Fifty-Cent Limit Kept
Independent of the Raise-His Opinion
of the Reform School.

Governor Markham came to the city
yesterday from Whittier, where he spent
the night. During his stay he made a
thorough inspection of the buildings
and OF the condition of the children.
cas- far as l could Judge from so short
visit, I found everything in an admir-
able condition. The methods used in
caring for the children seem to avoid
punishments to great extent; the
children all seem happy, and are GER
talnly learning"
Governor, it is claimed that the re-
cent raise in assessments by the state
board of equalization was simply made
in order to make good your campaign
promises" said the reporter "about tax
alton being limited to 80 cents"
II cannot see how that can be figured
out" replied the governor. "My cal
culations were all based on the last as
sessment, and l think it will be found,
that from that point of view my promises
were all kept. had the figures before
me all the time during the session of
the legislature, and [ still had $4,000
leeway when the last appropriation bill
was signed. The board of equalization

swerable to the people. l cannot revise,
OF veto, or in any way change what they
do, and fail to see in what way the ad-
ministration can be held responsible for
their action. l am not ready now to ex-
press any opinion about the raise, for l
have not thoroughly looked into the
matter. l see by the papers that it has
caused a widespread dissatisfaction,
and that the attempt has been made to
hold the administration responsible;
this is baseless and unjust as / think
will be readily seen by little investiga-
tion."
The governor looks hearty, and said he
would return to Sacramento in a few

1t Would Prevent Any More Injustice
to the South.
The politician beats the tom-tom and
saws the air with his jaw, says the
Azusa Pomotropic. The dear people
fall in and march away from their cher
ished positions, and when the campaign
is ended find themselves face to face
with the same old proposition OF the
ways and means. Some time ago there
were many eminent state divisionists in
Southern California. Most of them
sold their birthrights for a mess of po-
litical pottage and we secured the gov
ernor, which we would have done any
how. AS result of hanging on to the
old DANES apron-strings we get cinched
every taxpaying time. The state board
of equalization telegraphed Chairman
Perry Monday that they had raised the
assessment of eight counties in the
state. Five of them are in Southern
California. This little tail of a state
cannot wriggle, much less wag the dog.
Let's wriggle out into state OF our
own, some time.

Milo, the island of the Cyclades in
which the famous Venus of Milo was
discovered, has again been the scene of
the unearthing of splendid example of
ancient Hellenic art. The new "find" is
the marble statue Of boxer, somewhat
above life size, which is almost as per-
feet after it's burial under the dust of
centuries as it was when it came fresh
from the hands of its sculptor. The
statue has been shipped to Athens, where

aided by some members Of the German
Archaeological institute in Athens, will
report upon the period of its origin and
its probable creator-Pall Mall Gazette.

The rules also state that all pools and

where the horse which comes in first
is disqualified for fraud. The declaring
off of pools and bets in this race was
utterly unauthorized by the rules, and
is great injustice to those who had
taken the short side OF the betting on
the general theory that the greatest of

The New Cooperative bank, corner

open till s D. M. every evening during

the bank is a great success; that over
100 new accounts were opened during
the week; that the people received the
proposition with open arms. They are
tired of the present old styie of bank

New YORK, Nov. 81. There have been
several meetings of the security holders
of the r. T. system who have been in
conference with the officers of the First
National bank, who represent about
$590,0GO of r. T. bonds.
Overtures have been made to the bank
peopee with the view Of getting them to
accept proxies, and take an active in
terest in the management in njuntion
with a number Of the prominent men
whose influence is directed toward pre-
serving the Richmond Terminal property

This moment is in no way unfriendly

directors have informally discussed the
question of dividend on the preferred
that in as much as the Richmond and
Danville compaey has so large floating
debt, they do not consider it the part of
wisdom to pay a dividend on the prefer
red stock at this time.
Formal action, however, has not been
taken on the matter, and this informal
action may be reversed at a formal meet
ing of the directors. 1t is current rumor
that some of the old r. & D. interests
are soliciting proxies for the next meet
ing of Richmond Terminal, but it can't
be learned whether it is true or not.
