THE oUTFALL SEWER.
| The council met again at 2 O'Clock, all
members being present.
The city attorney had his report
ready on the outfall sewer compromise
matter, which had been referred to him.
Mr.. Mcfarland held that, while he rec
ognized that the compromise route had
some advantages over the old one. par
ticularly as to the ocean front and the
concessions granted by Mr.. Freeman as
to rights of wey, he did not think that
council would be justified in spending
30 much more money than Mr.. Free
man had been allowed by the court
| OSLO, ,000). He added that he had stated
to Mr.. Freeman his objections to the
| proposed compromise, whereupon Mr..
Freeman had consented to change in
the proposed route which would save
| $l2, 900 in cost of construction.
! The city attorney then presented an
ordinance adopting as official the maps
for the outfall sewer; also an ordinance
of intention for an election on the issu-
ance of bonds to the amount OF 1896, 900.
Both ordinances were passed.
The attorney also presented deed to
| the city from Mr.. Dan Freeman for the
right of way, and deed for 203 acres
bordering on the Pacific ocean. These
deeds are the ones on which the com
promise was based, and were approved
as to form.
The council also approved an agree
ment between Mr. Dan Freeman and the
city, according to which these deeds are
to be placed in escrow with E. f. Spence
for 100 days, to be delivered to the city
upon the payment of $l2,500, in case
the bond issue is authorized by the
election b
The deeds, as approved in form, are
in substance as follows:
In consideration of 1000 he conveys
to the city a perpetual right of way for
construction and maintenance of q
sewer. The line of the outfall is then
described, giving uniform width of fif-
teen feet for right of way from Walnut
avenue, Hyde park. Los Angeles county,
to the ocean. The three laterals are
also minutely located in the center of
the right of way fifteen feet wide. The
right of way is granted for the purpose
only of constructing, operating and
maintaining a main sewer with three
laterals, all of which are to be construct
ed in good, workmanlike manner be-
low the surface of the ground, at suf-
ticient depth 30 as not to prevent the
use OF the ground for farming and other
ordinary purposes. Such sewers are to
be properly constructed, closed, water
tight conduits with manholes at reason.
